    The document discusses several renewable energy resources including solar energy generated from heat engines and photovoltaics, wind power harnessed by wind turbines, hydropower from kinetic energy of water, geothermal energy from heat within the Earth, and biomass energy from organic matter that can be converted to biofuels. These renewable sources are characterized by their passive or active means of collecting, converting, and distributing energy as well as the processes by which their energy is captured and transformed into electricity or other useful forms of energy.
