General description

Actualmente, a enerxía é o noso ben natural máis preciado. O mundo desenvolvido xenera potencia en grandes y crecentes cantidades a partir de carbón, petróleo e gas natural, debido a un consumo en continuo aumento. A naturaleza finita destes combustibles fósiles, combinado ca crecente preocupación do concomitante efecto invernadoiro, leva al desarrollo de fuentes de energía renovables como el sol, el viento, las mareas y las olas. Estas alternativas aínda non están nin completamente exploradas nin desenroladas para o que se requerirá máis tempo e unha enorme inversión económica. Inmediatamente, por tanto, a forma máis directa ebarata de abordar o problema é empregar as fontes de enerxía existentes de mañeira máis eficiente.
Esta materia ocúpase deste tema. Atendendo a conversión enerxética, aportando un tratamento analítico aos métodos de aforro e recuperación enerxética. Esta materia busca completar o coñecemento do alumno sobre a tecnoloxía enerxética.
