2. Conventional and non
conventional resources

3. CONVENTIONAL RESOURCES

4. Energy that has been
used from ancient times
is known as conventional
energy. Coal, natural
gas, oil, and firewood
are examples of
conventional energy
sources.

5. ABOUT CONVENTIONAL RESOURCES
Conventional energy sources include oil, gas and
coal. The pace and scale of conventional energy
development has increased dramatically in Canada
over the past decade, particularly in Alberta due
to the booming oil sands industry. Developing
these resources responsibly requires that the
negative environmental, social and economic
impacts be minimized.

6. FEATURES OF CONVENTIONAL RESOURCES
Traditional energy sources consist
primarily of coal, natural gas and oil.
They form from decaying plant and
animal material over hundreds of
thousands to millions of years. Most of
these sources are burned to produce
energy through power plants and
automobiles.

7. EFFECTS
Being carbon-based, natural gas, oil
and coal store carbon as potential
energy and release it when burned.
The Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change states that carbon and
other greenhouse gas emissions are a
major culprit in climate change.

8. DISADVANTAGES
According to the Energy
Information Administration,
burning coal produces sulfur,
nitrogen oxide and mercury
emissions. All of these are
known to have disastrous
environmental and health
consequences.

9. BASIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
CONVENTIONAL AND NON
CONVENTIONAL RESOURCES
A conventional resource are the ones that are
commonly used (like a pen or a pencil) a non
conventional resources are ones that work but are
not commonly used (like an ionic laser)

11. IMPORTANCE OF NON-CONVENTIONAL
RESOURCES
The non-conventional sources of energy
such as energy from sun, wind, biomass,
tidal energy, geothermal energy and even
energy from waste material are gaining
importance. This energy is abundant,
renewable, pollution free and Eco-friendly.
It can be more conveniently supplied to
urban, rural and even remote areas.

12. DIFFERENT TYPES OF NON
CONVENTIONAL RESOURCES

13. Wind is another
important source
of non-conventional
energy. The sun
heats up the
earth unevenly,
winds are
formed. The
kinetic energy of
winds can be
used to run wind
turbines to
produce
electricity.

14. HYDRO POWER
Generation of electricity from hydro
power sources is a low cost, environment
friendly and renewable source of energy.
So, it is our future resource which is very
helpful for the upcoming generations….

15. SOLAR ENERGY
Sun is the source of all energy on the earth. It is
the inexhaustible source of energy and zero
emissions of greenhouse gas and air pollutants.
Solar energy can be applied in many ways.

16. ENERGY FROM WASTES
Generation of waste is inevitable in
many human activities. In nature, a
balance is maintained as the waste
generated by animals and human
beings serve as nourishment for the
plant life. This waste is processed
and treated further to produce
electricity.

17. GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
It is the energy obtained by tapping the heat of the
earth itself, usually from kilometers deep into the
earth’s crust. This energy is derived from the
radioactive decay in the core of the earth, which
heats the earth from the inside out.

18. ENERGY FROM BIO GAS
Bio gas is based upon the use of dung to produce gas
which is used as domestic fuel especially in rural
areas. This technique is based on the decomposition
of organic matter in the absence of air to yield gas
consisting of methane (55%) and carbon dioxide
(45%) which can be used as a source of energy.

19. It is the energy derived from the tides
developed in the oceans and seas, which is
used for generating power. This is also a
very useful future resource which can
fulfill our needs effectively
