What is Renewable Energy?
What is Renewable Energy?
• Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly.
In its various forms, it derives directly or indirectly from the sun, or from heat
generated deep within the earth. Included in the definition is energy generated from
solar,, wind,, biomass,, geothermal,
g , hydropower
y p and ocean resources,, and biofuels
and hydrogen derived from renewable resources. (IEA)
• Renewable energy resources: Energy resources that are naturally replenishing but
flow-limited. They are virtually inexhaustible in duration but limited in the amount
of energy that is available per unit of time. Renewable energy resources include:
biomass, hydro, geothermal, solar, wind, ocean thermal, wave action, and tidal
action. (EIA)
• “Renewable electricity” refers to electric power obtained from energy sources
whose utilization does not result in the depletion of the earth’s resources.
Renewable electricity also includes energy sources and technologies that have
minimal environmental impacts, such as less intrusive hydro and certain biomass
combustion. These sources of electricity normally will include solar energy, wind,
biomass co-generation and gasification, hydro, geothermal, tide, wave and
h d
hydrogen energy. ((Nigeria

Forms of Renewable Energy
Forms of Renewable Energy
• Wind energy ‐
Wi d Ki i
Kinetic energy present in wind motion that can be converted to mechanical
i i d i h b d h i l
energy for driving pumps, mills, and electric power generators.
• Solar ‐ Solar energy is the sun’s rays (solar radiation) that reach the earth. Solar energy can
be converted into other forms of energy such as heat and electricity
be converted into other forms of energy, such as heat and electricity.
• Hydropower ‐ Hydro energy is simply energy that is taken from water and converted to
electricity. Hydro energy can be obtained by using many methods of capture. The most
common method of using energy from water is a hydroelectric dam, where water coming
g gy y g
down through an area causes turbines to rotate and the energy is captured to run a
generator.
• Biomass ‐ Organic non‐fossil material of biological origin constituting a renewable energy
source.
• Geothermal energy ‐The heat that is extracted from hot water or steam that is mined from
geothermal reservoirs in the earth’s crust. Water or steam can be used as a working fluid for
geothermal heat pumps water heating or electricity generation and then is reinjected back
geothermal heat pumps, water heating, or electricity generation, and then is reinjected back
into the earth.
• Ocean energy ‐ Energy conversion technologies that harness the energy in tides, waves, and
g
thermal gradients in the oceans.
