WHAT IS ENERGY ?
 ENERGY IS THE QUANTITAIVE PROPERTY
 ENERGY IS THE ABILITY TO DO WORK
 THE CAPACITY FOR VIGOROUS WORK
 AN ADEQUATE OR ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF
SUCH POWER
SOURCES OF ENERGY

*RENEWABLE *NON RENEWABLE

• RENEWABLE SOURCE - It is a natural • A NON RENEWABLE SOURCE - Is
source which does not have a limited a natural resource which cannot be
supply.Renewable Energy can be used produced,grown,generated,or used on a
again and again, and will never run out. scale which can sustain its consumption
• EXAMPLES rate, once depleted there is no more
• HYDROELECTRIC available for future needs .Its also
• BIOMASS considered that there consumption is much
• faster than their production by nature.
SOLAR
• EXAMPLES
• WIND
• FOSSIL FUELS ( Coal,Petroleum,Natural
• TIDAL
Gas )
• Nuclear Power ( URANIUM )
WHY USE OF FOSSIL FUEL ?

• Very high calorific value

• Easy to locate with Advance Technology
• Coal is a Fossil Fuel found in Abundance
• Transportation of fossil fuels are easy
• Construction of Power Plants that work on fossil fuel is also easy
• Petroleum Is The Most Used Form of fossil fuel for all type of Vehicles
• Extraction Is easy with Cheap Cost
WHY IS THERE NEED FOR ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF
ENERGY?
• 90% of world's energy supply's comes from fossil fuels
• Stopping of fossil fuel becoming rare
• Burning Fossil Fuels has increased atmospheric pollution
• Power Stations burning coal,Smoke from car exhausts contribute to acid
rain.
• The Carbon stored in fossil fuels is released leading to Global Warming &
Greenhouse Effect
• Don't get confused With hole in ozone layer - this was caused by CFC's
ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENERGY

DEFINATION
• An Energy Source That Can Be Used Instead Of Fossil Fuels
• It is usually a Renewable Source Of Energy that can be used
when fossil fuels run out
RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
 BIOMASS

Biomass is renewable source of energy obtained from living things as

energy source biomass can be used directly or converted into other energy
productssuch as BioFuel.
• Biomass Gasification
• Biomass Heating System
• Biomass Fuel
 HYDRO POWER
Hydro Power or water power,is power generated from falling
water which may be used in various operations.
• Generation of Electricity
• Generation on Large Scale
• Generation Cost will be Low
 SOLAR ENERGY

Solar Energy is the radiant light and heat from sun that can be used in
various technologies
• Generate Electricity using Solar Generators
• Solar Heating
• Photovoltaics
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY WIND ENERGY
TIDAL ENERGY
Advantages Of Alternate Sources Of Energy

• They are Inexhaustible - They will always be available - They are renewable

• Environmental benefits. Low or zero carbon emission is without a doubt the main
advantage of alternative energy over fossil fuels

• Increased energy security. Fossil fuels are unequally distributed and make the global
economy dependent on a few exporting countries. Utilisation of alternative energy
thus significantly reduces dependence from the international energy supplies

• They offer sustainable and stable energy supply in the long term
Disadvantages Of Alternative Sources Of Energy
• High cost. Unfortunately, the technologies that utilise alternative sources of
energy remain relatively expensive.
• A large segment of industry depends heavily on cheap energy in order to be
able to keep up with the fierce global competition.
• Low efficiency. Alternative energy technologies are relatively new in offices
and are not particularly efficient. This poses a problem with feasibility because
the investment may not return, even in the long term. As a result, the interest
of private investors for green technologies remains relatively low, while the
Government can finance only a certain amount investments at a time.
• Issues with the stability of the system. The energy sector is not only seeking
for alternative solutions to lower carbon dioxide emissions but to meet the
rising demand for energy as well.
• Alternative types of energy – especially the most desirable ones such as solar
energy – are unable to produce enough energy to meet the demand.
• Conclusion

There is one forecast of which you can already be sure: someday

renewable energy will be the only way for people to satisfy their
energy needs. Because of the physical, ecological and (therefore)
social limits to nuclear and fossil energy use, ultimately nobody will
be able to circumvent renewable energy as the solution, even if it
turns out to be everybody's last remaining choice. The question
keeping everyone in suspense, however, is whether we shall
succeed in making this radical change of energy platforms happen
early enough to spare the world irreversible ecological mutilation
and political and economic catastrophe.
