Energy Resources
Is something that can produce
heat, power life, move objects, or
produce electricity.

Energy resources can be divided

into:

Renewable energy
Non-renewable energy
MODULE 04

Energy Resources
Renewable energy
Renewable energy is energy
that is collected from
renewable resources, which
are naturally replenished on
a human timescale.
MODULE 04

Energy Resources
Non-renewable energy
A non-renewable resource
is a natural resource that
cannot be readily replaced
by natural means at a quick
enough pace to keep up
with consumption.

Solar Energy
Also known a Solar Power is the
conversion of energy from sunlight
into usable energy that we can use.

Current technologies allow us to use

solar energy in three ways:
Passive solar heating
Active solar heating,
Electricity production by solar cells

Electricity production by solar cells

A solar cell or photovoltaic (PV) cell produces electricity
directly from the sunlight

TRIVIA#1
Artificial photosynthesis
A widely-used gas that is
currently produced from
fossil fuels can instead be
made by an ‘artificial leaf’ that
uses only sunlight, carbon
dioxide and water, and which
could eventually be used to
develop a sustainable liquid
fuel alternative to petrol.

Wind Energy
Also known as wind power refers to
the process of creating electricity using
the wind, or air flows that occur
naturally in the earth's atmosphere.

Modern wind turbines are used to

capture kinetic energy from the wind
and generate electricity.
MODULE 04

Wind Energy

Wind energy production is growing rapidly

because the construction of wind generators is
cheaper than building new fossil fuel-fired
power plants.

Wind energy is also clean and virtually limitless.

Worldwide, the wind is the second-fastest

growing source of energy and many countries
are rapidly investing in new wind farms.

The most recent development in the

Philippines are the:

Bangui Wind Farm, Burgos Wind

Farm, Caparispisan Wind Farm in
Ilocos Norte
Wind Energy Power System in
Oriental Mindoro, San Lorenzo
Wind Farm in Guimaras,
Nabas Wind Farm in Aklan
Pililla Wind Farm in Rizal.

Geothermal Energy
Natural hot ground water can be
pumped top the surface to generate
electricity, or it can be used directly
to heat homes and other buildings.

Cool surface water can be pumped

deep into the ground, to be heated
and then circulated to the surface
for use.
MODULE 04

TRIVIA#2
The Philippines is the world's second-largest producer
of geothermal energy for power generation.

According to the International Geothermal

Association (IGA), worldwide, the Philippines
ranks second to the United States in
producing geothermal energy.
As of 2010, the US had a capacity of 3093

Hydroelectric Energy
When flowing water is captured and
turned into electricity, the energy of
water dropping downward through
the dam can be harnessed to turn
turbines that produce electricity.

Biogas
Is a type of biofuel that is naturally
produced from the decomposition of
organic waste.

When organic matter, such as food

scraps and animal waste, break down

release a blend of gases, primarily
methane and carbon dioxide.
