- Forms of energy: Motion energy, potential energy, energy needed to move a body, electrical energy, thermal energy, radiation energy.
- Non-renewable energy is reduced.
- Fossil Fuels: Exchanging lignite and coal to gas.
- Oil reserves are running out.
- Natural gas is also decreasing.
- Peat consumes wetlands and burning brings emissions into the air.
- Renewable biofuels, wood fuel.
- Nuclear energy: fusion, fission, security.
- Natural currents: waterfall, wind.
- Solar radiation, solar cells.
- Geothermal energy.
- Outdoor heat and indoor heat recovery, heat pumps.
- Tide.
- Methane. Hydrogen, its production, storage and use.
- Emission-free energy.
- Carbon capture.
- Energy storage and transmission, even expensive.
- Battery technology and other storage.
- Electricity network, district heating network, distribution of fuels.
- The intelligent network.
- Electricity shortages.
- Balancing the times of high energy consumption and low energy consumption.
- Energy consumption in the world is increasing dramatically.
- Saving, energy efficiency.
- Energy Technologies.
- A new generation of wind power and solar power.
- Combined Heat and Power (CHP).
- Climate change is worsening and affecting the living conditions of the planet.
- See environmental issues.
