Lesson 3 – Towards a sustainable energy future
Key Learning: Towards a sustainable energy future
Ways of achieving energy conservation Making the use of fossil fuels more efficient
You’ve already looked at the idea of sustainability, and now you need to apply it to the challenges of providing energy to rising populations.
Remember: sustainability refers to solving an immediate problem, without damaging the environment, costing too much, or ruining chances of future generations.
Sustainable energy provides sufficient energy today without ruining future generations’ chances of meeting their own energy requirements. It is crucial that sustainable approaches are used for a number of reasons: relying on fossil fuels is causing enormous damage via climate change; fossil fuels are finite so they are running out; and populations are increasing so demand is rising. If we can find more efficient ways of using our energy, this will enable us to reduce our carbon footprints. Carbon footprint refers to the direct and indirect emissions each individual is responsible for. Direct emissions are produced from those things that use energy (e.g. heating and lighting in our homes), while indirect emissions are produced making the things that we buy (e.g. clothing, food and skin care products). Thankfully, some sustainable approaches to ensuring energy supplies do exist!
Carry out additional research and write a paragraph to describe and explain each of the three energy conservation strategies below, using the questions provided as a guide.
1. Designing homes, workplaces and transport for sustainability:
a. What is insulation and how does it help to conserve energy?b. How can modern boilers help to conserve energy?c. How can switching to electric cars help to conserve energy?d. How might solar energy panels help businesses to reduce emissions?

2. Demand reduction:
e. What does ‘demand reduction’ refer to?f. How can people reduce their energy demands in the home?g. How can people change their purchasing to reduce energy demand?h. How can improving public transport reduce energy demand?

Lesson 4 – A local scheme in an LIC sustainable energy in Nepal
Key Learning: The energy situation in Nepal Micro-hydro plants in Nepal Other possible sustainable sources of energy in Nepal
Watch the following clips and make notes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM3jn-e1_GY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x699N6-A47k
1. Now complete the case study be on Nepal, using your notes and own research.
AN EXAMPLE OF A LOCAL RENEWABLE ENERGY SCHEME IN AN LIC OR NEE
My example: Nepal
Location – identify the country on the world map.Why is it difficult for Nepal to import oil and natural gas?Why in Nepal well-suited to development of micro-hydro plants?
Describe what the scheme involves
Say how it helps to increase sustainable supplies of energy Are there any problems with the scheme?
2. Exam question: Using your example of a local renewable energy scheme in an LIC or NEE, describe how sustainable energy supplies can be provided
