The Sun

The sun is a part of our solar system. Thus, it is a natural source of heat energy. Sunlight is important for the existence of all living
organisms on the planet. This form of heat energy is also called solar energy.

The Earth

The heat energy that is found from the Earth is called geothermal energy. Sustainable and clean geothermal energy can be found in the
hot water and rocks present in the shallow ground. It is also found in the molten rocks available in the extreme depth of the Earth.

Air

The air around us is a very common source of heat energy for heat pumps. Exhaust air is also a good heat source for heat pumps in
buildings, both commercial and residential.

Burning Fuels

Heat energy can be generated by the burning of fuels. Fuel can be defined as any combustible substance that can burn and provide
energy. A few examples of fuels are wood, kerosene, coal, charcoal, gasoline/petrol and oil.

Electricity

Electricity is a form of energy that can be converted into heat energy, thus, it's considered a source. For example, the clothes iron that
is used in our domestic household uses electrical energy to generate heat.

Waste Heat Recovery

Waste heat recovery is a process in which heat energy that is excess for certain industrial processes is diverted to use in other work
applications. There are many industrial applications that generate large amount of excess heat. Waste heat recovery boilers are used to
channel this excess heat into other useful work applications.

Waste Water

Waste or effluent water is a possible source of heat energy as it has a constant high temperature throughout the year. For example,
untreated and treated water from sewers and industrial waste water and condenser heat that is generated from refrigeration plants are
used in making of electricity and other industrial processes.
