Introduction, unit of measure, principles generate them. World-wide the energetic system. Not renewable energetic sources, world-wide and national, perspective consumptions energetic. Renewable energetic sources: direct solar energy, indirect solar energy, hydraulic energy, heolic energy, energy from biomasses and biofuels, geothermal energy. Energetic technologies: solar paddles plans, concentratori solar paddles, photovoltaic, systems micro and minidraulici, Aeolic systems, systems for the production of biogas, boilers for the combustion of biomasses, systems of exploitation of smaller geothermal energy. energetic saving assets and liabilities. The energy in the agricultural processes, methods of energy analysis. Energy balance and costs input. Energy analysis for the appraisal of the productive alternatives, productive indicators of environmental impact. Numerical applications and practices
