Explain The Green Technology Features
1. Hybrid electric car

Hybrid electric vehicles are powered by an internal combustion engine and an electric
motor, which uses energy stored in batteries. A hybrid electric vehicle cannot be plugged in
to charge the battery. Instead, the battery is charged through regenerative braking and by
the internal combustion engine. The extra power provided by the electric motor can
potentially allow for a smaller engine. The battery can also power auxiliary loads and reduce
engine idling when stopped. Together, these features result in better fuel economy without
sacrificing performance.
A hybrid car uses more than one means of energy, combining a petrol or diesel engine with
an electric motor, and the two systems work with each other to move the vehicle. This
allows the car to burn less gasoline, achieving better fuel efficiency than a traditional engine
that solely uses fuel does. Electric power serves to boost the performance of the engine.
Hybrids, except for plug-in hybrids, charge the battery through its internal system, so they
do not need recharging. Plug-in hybrids are a halfway house between conventional cars and
all-electric vehicles. So, they run on both an electric motor and an internal combustion
engine but can charge its battery by "plugging in" to an outside electrical source

Pg 10

1. Environmentally Friendly
One of the biggest advantages of a hybrid car over a gasoline-powered car is that it runs
cleaner and has better gas mileage, which makes it environmentally friendly. A hybrid
vehicle runs on twin powered engine (gasoline engine and electric motor) that cuts fuel
consumption and conserves energy.

2. Less Dependence on Fossil Fuels
A Hybrid car is much cleaner and requires less fuel to run, which means fewer emissions and
less dependence on fossil fuels. This, in turn, also helps to reduce the price of gasoline in the
domestic market.

3. Regenerative Braking System
Each time you apply the brake while driving a hybrid vehicle, it helps you to recharge your
battery a little. An internal mechanism kicks in that captures the energy released and uses it
to charge the battery, which in turn eliminates the amount of time and need for stopping to
recharge the battery periodically.

4. Automatic Start and Stop
In hybrid cars, the engine is automatically shut off when the vehicle is idle and starts when
the accelerator is pressed. In comparison to traditional hybrid vehicles, PHEVs can drive
longer distances at higher speeds. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have lower energy emissions
because they emit only water vapor and warm air.

5. Electric-Only Drive
Hybrid vehicles can be driven entirely with electricity. This usually happens while moving at
low speeds, when the engine is idling at a stoplight or when the engine starts up. Normally,
the internal combustion engine starts operating only at higher speeds, where it has more
efficiency. This helps increase the overall fuel efficiency of the vehicle.

Pg 11

2. Composter

Composting is the natural process of recycling organic matter, such as leaves and food
scraps, into a valuable fertilizer that can enrich soil and plants. Anything that grows
decomposes eventually; composting simply speeds up the process by providing an ideal
environment for bacteria, fungi, and other decomposing organisms (such as worms,
sowbugs, and nematodes) to do their work. The resulting decomposed matter, which often
ends up looking like fertile garden soil, is called compost. Fondly referred to by farmers as
“black gold,” compost is rich in nutrients and can be used for gardening, horticulture, and
agriculture.
Organic discards can be processed in industrial-scale composting facilities, in smaller-scale
community composting systems, and in anaerobic digesters, among other options. This
guide focuses primarily on home composting, which is a great way to keep your organic
discards out of the waste stream and produce a valuable soil amendment for your own use.

Pg 12

1. Reduces the Waste Stream
Composting is a great way to recycle the organic waste we generate at home. Food scraps
and garden waste combined make up more than 28 percent of what we throw away. Not
only is food waste a significant burden on the environment, but processing it is costly. The
average cost to landfill municipal solid waste in the United States was around $55 per ton in
2019. With the United States generating more than 267 million tons of municipal waste in
2017 and sending two-thirds of that to landfills and incinerators, we spent billions of dollars
on waste management. Composting at home allows us to divert some of that waste from
landfills and turn it into something practical for our yards

2. Reduces Personal Food Waste
Consumers are responsible for a staggering amount of wasted food. An average American
family of four throws out about $150 worth of food per month, a 50 percent increase since
the 1970s. NRDC research in three U.S. cities indicated that the category of edible food most
wasted by households was fruits and vegetables. According to a 2016 report
in The Guardian, U.S. retailers and consumers throw away about 60 million tons (or $160
billion) worth of produce annually. The best way to reduce impacts from food waste is to
prevent waste from occurring in the first place, so NRDC works through its Save the Food
campaign and other tools to educate consumers on how to shop for, prepare, and store
food to minimize waste. However, even if we do everything possible to decrease food
waste, there will still be food scraps that cannot be consumed (e.g., a banana peel).
Composting is a great way to recycle those discards instead of tossing them in the trash.

Pg 13

3. Recycle bin

Recycling is a morally responsible decision that is easy to organize if you have a recycling
bin. If you recycle materials such as bottles and cans, you may be able to exchange them for
money at your local recycling center. Recycling can be convenient for you because it can
reduce the amount of trash you have to fit into your trash bin or dumpster.
Recycling some of your refuse can result in a reduced amount of trash. That means fewer
trips to the garbage dumpster and less worrying about whether your trash will fit in the
pickup bin on trash day. When you are conscious about what you recycle and what you
throw away, you can sift out the recyclables and throw away only the non-recyclable trash.
Recycling reduces the load on our country's landfills by re-using the materials instead of
throwing them away. Recycling also reduces our need for mining and processing production
to extract materials to replace what doesn't get recycled. The process of mining for
materials and turning them into products and packaging, such as milk bottles and soda cans,
uses energy and causes heat and air pollution.

Pg 14

1. Conserving natural resources
The world's natural resources are finite, and some are in very short supply.

2. Protecting ecosystems and wildlife
Recycling reduces the need to grow, harvest or extract new raw materials from the Earth.
That in turn lessens the harmful disruption and damage being done to the natural world:
fewer forests cut down, rivers diverted, wild animals harmed or displaced, and less pollution
of water, soil and air. And of course if our plastic waste isn't safely put in the recycling, it can
be blown or washed into rivers and seas and end up hundreds or thousands of miles away,
polluting coastlines and waterways and becoming a problem for everyone.

3. Reducing demand for raw materials
The world's increasing demand for new stuff has led to more of the poorest and most
vulnerable people (for example, those living around forests or river systems) being displaced
from their homes, or otherwise exploited. Forest communities can find themselves evicted
as a result of the search for cheap timber and rivers can be damned or polluted by
manufacturing waste. It's far better to recycle existing products than to damage someone
else's community or land in the search for new raw materials.

4. Saving energy
Making products from recycled materials requires less energy than making them from new
raw materials. Sometimes it's a huge difference in energy.

Pg 15

4. Solar panel

Solar panels collect clean renewable energy in the form of sunlight and convert that light
into electricity which can then be used to provide power for electrical loads. Solar panels are
comprised of several individual solar cells which are themselves composed of layers of
silicon, phosphorous (which provides the negative charge), and boron (which provides the
positive charge). Solar panels absorb the photons and in doing so initiate an electric current.
The resulting energy generated from photons striking the surface of the solar panel allows
electrons to be knocked out of their atomic orbits and released into the electric field
generated by the solar cells which then pull these free electrons into a directional current.
This entire process is known as the Photovoltaic Effect. An average home has more than
enough roof area for the necessary number of solar panels to produce enough solar
electricrity to supply all of its power needs excess electricity generated goes onto the main
power grid, paying off in electricity use at night.
In a well-balanced grid-connected configuration, a solar array generates power during the
day that is then used in the home at night. Net metering programs allow solar generator
owners to get paid if their system produces more power than what is needed in the home.
In off-grid solar applications, a battery bank, charge controller, and in most cases,
an inverter are necessary components. The solar array sends direct current (DC) electricity
through the charge controller to the battery bank. The power is then drawn from the
battery bank to the inverter, which converts the DC current into alternating current (AC)
that can be used for non-DC appliances. Assisted by an inverter, solar panel arrays can be
sized to meet the most demanding electrical load requirements. The AC current can be used
to power loads in homes or commercial buildings, recreational vehicles and boats, remote
cabins, cottages, or homes, remote traffic controls, telecommunications equipment, oil and
gas flow monitoring, RTU, SCADA, and much more.

Pg 16

1. Renewable energy source
Among all the benefits of solar panels, the most important thing is that solar energy is
a truly renewable energy source. It can be harnessed in all areas of the world and is
available every day. We cannot run out of solar energy, unlike some of the other sources of
energy. Solar power in Malaysia represents a clean green source of energy. If you want to
reduce your carbon footprint, the best way is by installing a solar panel system on your roof.
It is important to understand that solar energy does not pollute the environment.The only
resources solar power needs are the sun and a source of clean water to function. Installing
a solar panel system in home will add value on house because it saves money from utility
bills each month.
Recent studies by solar companies in Malaysia showed that buyers are willing to pay
RM62,000 extra for a home with an average-sized solar panel system. The appreciation of
property value is due to the money the new house owner can save on energy in the future.

2. Reduce energy costs
Another clear benefit of having a solar panel system is that can be protected against rising
energy costs. You should know that residential electricity prices rise approximately three
percent annually. So when you invest in solar panels for your home, you are making sure
your finances are not affected by the increase in electricity costs.
solar power in Malaysia helps better in estimate and manage your expenses, making it a
great alternative for homeowners and businesses.

5. Wind mill

A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force
from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor
blade. When wind flows across the blade, the air pressure on one side of the
blade decreases. The difference in air pressure across the two sides of the
blade creates both lift and drag. The force of the lift is stronger than the drag
and this causes the rotor to spin. The rotor connects to the generator, either
directly (if it's a direct drive turbine) or through a shaft and a series of gears (a
gearbox) that speed up the rotation and allow for a physically smaller
generator. This translation of aerodynamic force to rotation of a generator
creates electricity.

Pg 18

1. Cost-effective
Wind power is cost-effective. Land-based utility-scale wind is one of the lowest-priced
energy sources available today, costing 1–2 cents per kilowatt-hour after the production tax
credit. Because the electricity from wind farms is sold at a fixed price over a long period of
time (e.g. 20+ years) and its fuel is free, wind energy mitigates the price uncertainty that
fuel costs add to traditional sources of energy.

2. Clean fuel source
It's a clean fuel source. Wind energy doesn't pollute the air like power plants that rely on
combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, which emit particulate matter,
nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide—causing human health problems and economic
damages. Wind turbines don't produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain, smog,
or greenhouse gases.

3. Domestic source of energy
Wind is a domestic source of energy. The nation's wind supply is abundant and
inexhaustible. Over the past 10 years, U.S. wind power capacity has grown 15% per year,
and wind is now the largest source of renewable power in the United States.

4. Sustainable
It's sustainable. Wind is actually a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the heating of
the atmosphere by the sun, the rotation of the Earth, and the Earth's surface irregularities.
For as long as the sun shines and the wind blows, the energy produced can be harnessed to
send power across the grid.

Conclusion

The meaning of Green Technology is the application of one or more of
environmental science, green chemistry, environmental monitoring and
electronic devices. This can monitor, model and conserve the natural
environment and curb the negative impacts of human involvement.

The Importance of green technology in our daily life is green technology
will help slow global warning. Besides, green technology can make properties
more sustainable. Moreover, green technology can reduce waste, conserves
water and consumes reduced energy as compared to traditional technologies.
Green technology also helps significantly reduce air pollution. A clean
environment makes us healthier and help to reduce the probability of getting
lung cancer. Lastly, green technology can provide us clean energy in our daily
life. For example, I can get LED bulbs and save 70% more energy when I need
to turn on the light.

The building industry is a part of the construction industry. Green
building technology is that buildings are environment friendly and utilize
efficiently the resources throughout their lifespan, since the designing stage till
construction. Green buildings are designed using energy, water and other
resources. This can reduce waste, pollution and environmental degradation.
Most of green building will use green concrete material which are generally
more efficient than traditional. This is because they require fewer resources to
produce. In addition, this material can help cut down a building’s water or
energy consumption can be considered sustainable.
