RENEWABLE ENERGY

WHAT IS RENEWABLE ENERGY?

• Energy that is generated from natural resources.

• Naturally replenished

• Ex. Include wind power and solar power

ADVANTAGES!

• Well renewable- Infinity of sustainability and will never run out.

• Environmental benefits- It is very clean and has little to no green house and net carbon

emissions.

• Reliable energy source- Increase of dependency on fossil fuels.

• Economic benefits- a lot cheaper and more environmentally sound.

DISADVANTAGES!

• Reliability of supply- relies strongly on the weather for resources of supply

Ex. Rain, wind and sunshine.

• Difficulties of generation in large quantities- It is a necessity to build more facilities to

match the high growing demand.

• Large capital cost- Prices are slightly high in building energy plants along with high

maintained.

• Large areas of land required- land is required to produce energy that is competitive to

fossil fuel burning.

TYPES OF RENEWABLE SOURCE ENERGY

HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER

• Energy produced from the gravitational energy of water.

• 21% of renewable energy is produced from hydropower.

• One seventh of humans on earth are benefited.

• Ecofriendly and prolongs nature.
