The document discusses different types of energy sources including renewable and non-renewable sources. Non-renewable sources such as coal, petroleum and natural gas are conventional energy sources that are being depleted. Renewable sources like solar, wind, water and biomass are alternative sources that do not cause pollution and can replenish themselves.

ENERGY

WHAT IS ENERGY?
◻ It is the capacity to do work, such as moving matter
over a distance.
◻ Types of energy
Kinetic energy: electrical, light, thermal, solar, sound,
wind, hydro.
Potential energy: chemical, mechanical, nuclear,
gravitational.
ENERGY
IMPORTANCE
❑ Human activities are dependent on the
usage of several forms and sources of
energy.
❑ Energy demand is increased with
economic development.
ENERGY SOURCES
ENERGY SOURCES
◻ Non Renewable ◻ Renewable
(Conventional) (Non-Conventional)
◻
Non-Renewable Energy (Conventional)

◻ Coal
◻ Petroleum
◻ Natural gas
COAL
◻ major energy source at the beginning of the 19th
century.
◻ releases large amounts of energy when it is
burned.
◻ formed by dead plants being put under significant
pressure and temperature for millions of years.

◻ Coal resources are vast.


COAL
USES
◻ power generation (70%)

◻ energy supply to industries

◻ domestic uses
PETROLEUM
◻ coal was replaced by OIL and was used in the 20th
century due to the ease of shipping and burning
liquid fuels.
◻ formed from the compression of animal and plant
remains over millions of years.
◻ it is usually located deep below
the earth's surface.
❑ also known as crude oil.
PETROLEUM
USES
◻ generation of electricity

◻ main source of energy for transport activities

◻ lubricants for machinery

◻ raw material for manufacturing industries/chemical


industries.
◻ the “Greater Middle East” contains 91% of proven,
economically-recoverable oil.
◻ Saudi Arabia
NATURAL GAS
◻ consists mainly of methane.
Uses
◻ mostly used for energy generation.

◻ both as a raw material and a source of heat.

◻ an ingredient used to make fertilizer.


Renewable Energy (Non-Conventional)

◻ Solar
◻ Wind
◻ Water/Hydropower
◻ Biomass
◻ Geothermal
SOLAR ENERGY
◻ Solar energy is the energy derived from the sun
through the form of solar radiation. Solar powered
electrical generation relies on photovoltaic and heat
engines.
WIND ENERGY
◻ use of wind to provide the mechanical power
through wind turbines to turn electric generators and
traditionally to do other work, like milling or
pumping
WATER ENERGY
◻ derived from the energy of falling or fast-running
water, which may be harnessed for useful purposes.
BIOMASS
◻ Energy from living organisms.

◻ It involves the growing of crops for fuel rather than


food.
◻ Plants capture immense amounts of solar energy by
storing it.
GEOTHERMAL
◻ heat that comes from the sub-surface of the earth. It
is contained in the rocks and fluids beneath the
earth’s crust and can be found as far down to the
earth’s hot molten rock, magma.
◻ Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in
four distinct areas:
◻ power generation,
◻ hot water/ space heating,
◻ transport fuels and
◻ rural (off-grid) energy services.
ENERGY USAGE
◻ Currently, 88% of the world’s
commercial energy needs is being
supplied by FOSSIL FUELS.

petroleum, natural gas coal


ENERGY USAGE

◻ Worldwide commercial energy consumption. This


does not include energy collected for personal use
or traded in informal markets.
Source: Date from British Petroleum, 2010.
ENERGY USAGE
◻ In the Philippines, coal has the biggest usage for
electricity supply.
HOW DO WE USE ENERGY?
ENERGY CONSERVATION
◻ simply to use less
◻ walking, biking, or taking public transport
◻ reducing air infiltration is usually the cheapest
◻ green building can cut energy costs by half.
◻ several utilities are experimenting with smart
metering
◻ improved industrial design
DID YOU KNOW?
◻ Utilization Efficiencies
One of the easiest ways to save energy is to turn off
and unplug appliances which are on standby
-ie. TV’s, printers, and computers. Appliances on
standby represent 25% of the typical monthly
electrical bill.
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY/RENEWABLE
ENERGY
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY/RENEWABLE ENERGY

◻ Renewable energy sources such as


wind, solar energy, geothermal
power, and biomass crops, could
eliminate our dependence on fossil
fuels and prevent extreme global
climate if we act quickly.
How realistic is Alternative Energy?

◻ Very realistic according to studies from


Stanford University and the University of
California at Davis.

◻ With existing technology, renewable


sources could provide all the energy we
need, including the fossil fuels we use now.
How realistic is Alternative Energy?
1. Wind - could supply 50 percent of our energy.

2. Solar energy could provide 41 percent of our


total energy supply.
How realistic is alternative energy
3. Hydropower (dams, tidal, geothermal, wave
energy) could supply about 9 percent of our energy.
◻ Conservation is a key factor in a sustainable
energy future.

◻ The choices we make about our energy sources


and uses will have profound effects on our
environment and society.
SUMMARY

NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES


◻ The sources which once used are lost

forever and cannot be replenished.


◻ causes pollution.

◻ conventional sources.

◻ exhaustible sources.
SUMMARY
RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
◻ The sources that have inherent capacity to

reappear or replenish themselves by quick


cycling, reproduction and replacement
within a reasonable time.
◻ Do not cause pollution.

◻ Non-conventional sources.

◻ Inexhaustible sources.
