SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & ENERGY
NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY
An energy resource that is not replaced or is
replaced only very slowly by natural processes
Fossil fuels are continually produced by the decay
of plant and animal matter, but the rate of their
production is extremely slow, very much slower
than the rate at which we use them.
Types:
 Coal
 Oil
 Nuclear
 Natural Gas
 Tar Sands and Oil Shale

NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY: COAL
composed primarily of carbon: it is a fossil fuel that forms from dead
plants buried millions of years ago

secure energy source:


abundant but finite
inexpensive generation:
volatile price

with health and environmental impacts

NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY: PETROLEUM
composed primarily of hydrocarbons: it is a
fossil fuel that forms from dead organisms
buried underneath rocks and subjected to
intense heat and pressure
secure energy source:
abundant but finite
inexpensive generation:
volatile price

with health and environmental impacts


NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY: NATURAL GAS
consists mainly by methane: it is a
fossil fuel that forms from dead
organisms buried underneath rocks
and subjected to intense heat and
pressure

secure energy source:


abundant but finite

with less health and environmental


impacts but more expensive
NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY: NUCLEAR
energy released from nuclear
fission: it is the energy from the core
of an atom

with serious health and


waste impacts
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable energy is natural energy which does
not have a limited supply.
Renewable energy can be used again and
again, and will never run out.
Types:
 Biomass
 Hydro-electric
 Geothermal
 Solar

RENEWABLE ENERGY: HYDROPOWER
relies on the water cycle: using the
force of moving water to produce
mechanical energy

expensive to build, depends


on amount of rainfall

do not directly emit air


pollutants but may affect
ecology
RENEWABLE ENERGY: WIND
relies on daily wind cycle: using the
force of moving air to produce
mechanical energy

no
greenhouse gas
emission but
noisy, unreliable
& expensive
RENEWABLE ENERGY: SOLAR

collecting solar
thermal energy:
photovoltaic devices
convert sunlight into DC

low maintenance and


works in remote places

expensive installation with irregular supply


RENEWABLE ENERGY: GEOTHERMAL
using the heat within the Earth:
steam turns the generator turbine

reliable source but can only


be built in limited locations

expensive
installation with
high water usage

RENEWABLE ENERGY: BIOMASS
organic material that comes from plants
and animals: can be burned directly or
converted to liquid biofuels or biogas
ENERGY CHALLENGES

energy equity accessible and affordable across


population
security reliable supply

sustainability efficient and ‘good’ for the


environment
TRENDS IN ENERGY

greener (sustainable)
and diversified energy
sources

infrastructure evolution
