The approach towards the environment

The approach towards the environment

Use of energy

• Bulgaria exhibits a fairly diverse energy mix
  with an average dependency on imported fuels (oil
  and natural gas from Russia and also solid
  fuels). Domestic production includes nuclear
  energy and solid fuels which are also the main
  fuels for electricity generation

Types of renewable energy used in Bulgaria

• Bulgaria is a sunny country and the solar
  energy has been used for ages. Nowadays the solar
  energy is one of the most popular ways of
  producing environmentally friendly energy at low
  price.

• Among other countries, Bulgaria also
  offers potential for construction of wind farms,
  more specifically along the coastal line and at
  places with altitude of 1000 meters or more. The
  manufacture of wind is a new business for
  Bulgaria but it is developing very quickly. By
  2015 there will be 600 wind energy sources.

Hydroelectricity

• Hydroelectricity is the term referring to
  electricity generated by hydropower the
  production of electrical power through the use of
  the gravitational force of falling or flowing
  water. It is the most widely used form of
  renewable energy. Once a hydroelectric complex is
  constructed, the project produces no direct
  waste.
• In Bulgaria we have 86 of water power
  plants.

5
Belgium energy

• Bio-energy
• Biological methods based on
  photosynthesis, for example the use of biological
  waste or growing bacteria that produce oil. Also
  trees, elephant grass or other fast-growing
  plants that burn or generate fermentable biomass
  could be used.

• Water energy
• Wave Energy
• The movement of the waves of the sea is used to
  generate electricity.
•  
• Tidal energy
• The differences in water level of the tides
  through turbines into electrical energy is
  converted.
• Blue energy
• The energy that can be won by the difference in
  salt concentration between seawater and
  freshwater.
•  
• Hydroelectric power
• Energy from height of water, usually by building
  a dam or a natural waterfall.
•  
• OTEC (Ocean Abbreviation of British Thermal
  Energy Conversion).
• This technique uses the temperature difference
  between surface and deeper layers of the ocean to
  generate electricity.

Hungaria

• The hungarian people used a lot of old cars but
  these cars were bad for the environment. Today
  engineers are working on designing hybrid cars,
  it protect the environment from the polluting
  gases.
• The recycling bins appeared on the streets. We
  can separate about 5 different materials paper,
  glass, tin or aluminum cans and plastic bottles.
  Recycling bins exist in various sizes for use in
  homes, offices, and large public facilities.

Ajka alumina plant accident

• The The Ajka alumina sludge spill was an
  industrial accident at a caustic waste reservoir
  chain of the Ajkai Timföldgyár alumina plant in
  Ajka, Veszprém County, in western Hungary.
• It happened on 4 of October in 2010.
• About 40 square kilometres (15 square miles) of
  land were initially affected.

Types of Energy in Scotland

• Wind turbines are the fastest growing of the
  renewable energy technologies in Scotland.
• Scotland has 85 of the UK's hydro-electric
  energy resource.

10

• Because of the weather in Scotland there is
  enormous potential available for wave power off
  the Scottish coasts.

11
German environment

• It is hard to imagine that not so long ago,
  Germany was one of Europe's worst environmental
  laggards. In the 1970s, the river Rhine was a
  stinking cesspool, poisoned by heavy industry.
  German negotiators said no to all efforts by the
  United States and the Scandinavian countries.

12

• Today, Germany may be the world's greenest
  countryand not just because salmon once again
  return to spawn in the Rhine. A few nations score
  better overall on Yale and Columbia's
  Environmental Performance Index (EPI), and
  Germany still lags in protecting habitat and in
  curbing gas-guzzling cars. But "among countries
  making themselves green by design, Germany is No.
  1," says Yale's Daniel Esty. Germany adopted it
  and almost overnight created the world's biggest
  market for wind and solar power.

13
Conclusion

• The common between the countries- Germany,
  Hungary, Bulgaria, Scotland and Belgium is that
  we all appreciate the nature. The Earth is a
  place where we all live and we aim to keep it
  clean and we give our best.
