Energy

People’s well-being is strongly tied to energy. An energy system can benefit businesses, health, and education, as well as agriculture, infrastructure, communications, high-technology, and the environment. However, 13 percent of the world’s population lacks access to modern electricity. Data shows that 3 billion people still cook and heat with wood, coal, charcoal, or animal waste.

Indoor air pollution caused by the use of combustible fuels for household energy resulted in the deaths of 4.3 million people in 2012. 6 out of every 10 of these are women and girls. Noncommunicable diseases such as stroke, ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung cancer are all caused by air pollution.

greenhouse_gas

The energy sector also significantly contributes to climate change, accounting for nearly 60% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In 2015, global greenhouse gas emissions were estimated to be around 47 billion metric tons, based on carbon dioxide equivalents.

Part E_3　Reading

1.	What diseases are caused by air pollution in homes?

Part E_4　Reading

Answer:

Part E_5　Reading

Renewable energy

Due to substantial growth in hydropower, wind, and solar energy, the share of renewables increased at the fastest rate since 2012, up 0.24 percent, reaching nearly 17.5 percent in 2016.

To grow their crops more efficiently, innovative farmers have turned to biofuel. Growing biofuel crops is considered renewable because plants can be easily and quickly replenished. As a side benefit, producers can use oilseeds in multi-year crop rotations and have a reliable source of feed production.

Solar energy is clean, sustainable source of energy that is used for heating water, farming equipment, and buildings and barns. Greens and tropical fruits can be grown throughout the winter using solar power. Meanwhile, wind energy is the fastest-growing energy technology in the world. The wind’s force is transformed into mechanical or electrical energy, which is used by many farmers to pump water.

Part E_6　Reading

2.	What are the three renewable resources that can be used by farmers?
