Drying and dryer from the aspect of renewable energy and sustainable development

Abstract

Sustainable development, energy efficiency, renewable energy and environmental protection are the most pressing questions at the beginning of a new, 21st, century. The most important role of renewable energy in reducing greenhouse gases, increasing energy security and creation through small and medium enterprises. The paper gives a brief overview of renewable energy sources in terms of sustainable development, energy efficiency and environmental protection and the role of the drying process technology in sustainable development (see existing solutions with additional source of Energy and original solutions for drying using renewable sources) through: reducing 'consumption' of energy, drying source of bio fuel, solar drying, wind energy and Biogas for drying, to reduce the 'loss' of resources, drying to protect the environment, etc. Before applying the global use every energy process and renewable source of energy, should be analyzed and valorized through 4E principle: ecology, efficiency, economy and education.
