    Sousa
    This document summarizes different sources of energy. It discusses renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy and outlines their advantages like sustainability but also challenges like intermittent availability. It also describes non-renewable fossil fuels like oil and coal, noting they are easy to transport but cause pollution. The document provides details on characteristics of different energy sources and where energy comes from, both renewable sources stored in nature and non-renewable fossil fuels formed from buried plant and animal matter over millions of years.

    • The Vantages and Advantages


    01 Energy
    Characteristics

    Large amount of work per unit mass or volume - It should have high calorific value.

    Safe and convenient to use – energy sources should be safe as it is used by a large number of people
    and should be convenient.

    Should be easy to transport – Most common sources of energy such as coal or petrol need to be
    transported from their points of production. Thus it is important to store and transport these sources
    safely and economically-

    Where it comes from?

    Renewable Energy
    Storage Sources
    Energy is stored in the nature
    in various sources and
    forms.
    Non-Renewable
    Energy Sources
    02 Renewable Sources
    of Energy
    Solar Energy from the Sun

    This is the most common renewable


    source of energy, the solar collectors
    are installed and collect the solar
    energy converting it into various
    forms.
    Wind Energy

    This type of energy is being used


    extensively for generation of
    electricity which fans are used to tap
    the wind.
    Advantages and Disvantages

    Sustainability Maintenance Regional Beneficts


    These sources will never run Renewable Energy require Those projects can also bring
    out less maintenance reducing economic benefits to many
    the vosts of operation regional areas

    Weather Energy Quantity


    Renewable Energy often The capacity of make energy Those sources of energy may
    relies on the weather for its is unpredictable and not produce as much energy
    source of power inconsistent as traditional fossil fuel
    does.
    03 Non-Renewable
    Sources of Energy
    Fossil Fuels

    Fossil fuels are made up of plant


    and animal matter. When plants and
    animals died, their bodies
    decomposed and were buried.
    Millions of years later we have the
    Fossil Fuels:
    • Oil
    • Natural Gas
    • Coal
    Fossil Fuel Energy Oil

    Crude Oil is a fossil fuel that is


    refined into many different energy
    products (gasoline, diesel fuel, jet
    fuel).
    It is also burned in factories to make
    electricity.
    Advantages and Disvantages

    Sustainability Productivity Efficiency


    Fossil Fuels are very easy to Fossil Fuels have the capacity to Power plants that utilize oil
    find generate huge amounts of energy are very efficient
    in a single location

    Pollution Acid Rain Mining


    This is because they give off Acid rain can be created by Fossil Fuels are difficult to
    carbon dioxide when burned, the the fossil fuels extract
    main consequence is the Global
    Warming
