4.  energy resource
 naturally regenerated over a short time scale
 directly from the sun (thermal)
 indirectly from the sun (wind, hydropower)
 from other natural movements and mechanisms of
the environment (geothermal, tidal energy).

5. 1.When its source
cannot run out (like
the sun) or can easily
be replaced (like
wood).

6. 2. When their
sources are carbon
neutral. That means
they do not produce
carbon compounds
(such as other green
house gases).

9. • The largest wind turbine in the world, located in Hawaii,
stands 20 stories tall and has blades the length of a
football field.
• An average wind speed of 14 miles per hour is needed to
convert wind energy into electricity.
• The first power-generating turbine was constructed in
Ohio during the late 1800's and was used to charge
batteries.
• Wind energy is the fastest growing segment of all
renewable energy sources.

10. •WIND TURBINES REQUIRE NO FUEL
•WIND TURBINES DO NOT PRODUCE
ANY WASTES, GREENHOUSE GASES,
TOXINS OR BY-PRODUCT THAT CAN
HARM THE ENVIRONMENT.

14. •Wind farms can be built offshore
30-12-2013

15. It is considered 'renewable energy' because...
• The technology used to convert the sun's power into
electricity does not produce smoke (carbon dioxide and
other air pollutants).
• Tapping the sun's energy does not usually destroy the
environment.

Largest solar thermal power plant generating facility in
the world: Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) in
California, with the combined capacity from three
separate locations at 354 megawatts.

17. •Solar energy will
last forever whereas
it is estimated that
the world’s oil
reserves will last for
30 to 40 years.

18. •Solar cells make
absolutely no noise at all.
On the other hand, the
giant machines utilized for
pumping oil are extremely
noisy and therefore very
impractical.
30-12-2013
18

19. •Very little maintenance
is needed to keep solar
cells running. There are
no moving parts in a
solar cell which makes
it impossible to really
damage them.

20. •Solar energy can
be used in remote
areas where it is
too expensive to
extend the
electricity power
grid.
30-12-2013

21. •Solar energy does not
cause pollution. However,
solar collectors and other
associated equipment /
machines are
manufactured in factories
that in turn cause some
pollution

22. • Biomass is used to make biofuels.
• Biomass is biological material derived from
living, or recently living organisms.
• Biofuels are liquid fuels which have been
derived from other materials such as waste
plant and animal matter.

23.  Waste residues will always
exist – in terms of scrap wood,
mill residuals and forest
resources.
 Properly managed forests will
always have more trees, and we
will always have crops and the
residual biological matter from
those crops.

of waste
materials.

26. •Biofuel is
cheap.
•It will lead to
less demand on
fossil fuels.

27. •Hydropower is renewable energy source that doesn't
cause global warming because it doesn't releases
dangerous greenhouse gases.
•China is the largest producer of hydroelectricity,
followed by Canada, Brazil, and the United States
(Source: Energy Information Administration).
•Hydropower is the most important and widely-used
renewable source of energy.

30.  To meet any changes in demand for
electricity, hydroelectricity generators can
be stopped and started in minutes.
 A fossil fuel power station can take up to eight
hours to shut down or restart
 A nuclear power station can take up to several
days.

31.  Operation and maintenance costs for
hydroelectricity plants are much lower than
for thermal electricity power plants.
 Breakdowns are few because their mechanical
design is relatively simple, and no excess heat
is generated during operations.

32. Constant rate
of electricity
production
Long life
No waste by-
products

33.  Geothermal energy is the heat from the
Earth.
 Geothermal energy is called a renewable
energy source because the water is
replenished by rainfall, and the heat is
continuously produced by the earth.

34. The Pohutu Geyser in New Zealand erupts with a natural blast
of the Earth's interior heat.
30-12-2013

35. • Because geothermal energy is energy in and of itself,
no outside sources of fuel are needed to keep the
power houses running.
• The supply of this renewable energy is constant, as
well as without limits since the earth is never going to
stop producing heat energy and in theory, energy is
abundant enough to supply all the needs of all
mankind.

36.  First country in the world to set up a ministry of
non conventional resources, in early 1980s
 The renewable power installed capacity forms
12% of the total installed capacity as on Oct 2012
 Actual electricity generation from renewable
energy sources equals 49.04 billion units.
30-12-2013

37.  RE generation from Small Hydro power
is 3421 MW, i.e 13% of RE
 With 17,875 MW of generation, wind
continues to account for 70% of the
installed RE capacity
