Energy Sources
An energy resource is anything that can be used to produce heat, power, or
electricity for various purposes like powering homes, transportation,
industries, and more.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed – it can only be transformed from


one form to another.

Energy sources are the origins of energy we use to do work, produce


electricity, and power machines.
Energy Sources
They are classified into two main types:
1. Conventional (Non-renewable)
2. Unconventional (Renewable)
Coal
- Source: Fossil fuel formed from dead plants and over
millions of years.
- Use: Mainly in thermal power plants to generate
electricity.
- Advantages: Cheap and abundant.
- Disadvantages: Causes air pollution and global warming.
Petroleum (Oil)

- Source: Extracted from underground reserves.


- Use: Fuel for vehicles, machines, and electricity.
- Advantages: High energy output, easy to transport.
- Disadvantages: Limited supply, major cause of pollution.
Natural Gas
- Source: Found near petroleum deposits.
- Use: Cooking, heating, and electricity generation.
- Advantages: Burns cleaner than coal or oil.
- Disadvantages: Still non-renewable, risk of leakage/explosion.
Hydropower
- Source: Water stored in dams.
- Use: Generates electricity by rotating turbines.
- Advantages: Renewable, no pollution.
- Disadvantages: Affects aquatic life and nearby villages.
Nuclear Energy
- Source: Fission of uranium atoms in nuclear reactors.
- Use: Electricity generation.
- Advantages: High energy output, low emissions.
- Disadvantages: Radioactive waste, risk of accidents.
Solar Energy
- Source: Sunlight captured by solar panels.
- Use: Home lighting, heating, and power generation.
- Advantages: Free, abundant, no pollution.
- Disadvantages: Works only in sunlight, high setup cost.
Wind Energy
- Source: Wind turns turbines to generate electricity.
- Use: Power supply in wind-rich areas.
- Advantages: Clean and renewable.
- Disadvantages: Needs open space, not constant.
Biomass Energy
- Source: Organic waste like crop remains, wood, animal
waste.
- Use: Cooking, heating, electricity in rural areas.
- Advantages: Reuses waste, reduces landfill.
- Disadvantages: Air pollution if not used efficiently.
Tidal Energy
- Source: Ocean tides moving turbines.
- Use: Coastal electricity generation.
- Advantages: Predictable and renewable.
- Disadvantages: Expensive and limited to coastal areas.
Geothermal Energy
- Source: Heat from inside the Earth.
- Use: Heating and electricity generation.
- Advantages: Eco-friendly, constant supply.
- Disadvantages: Only available in specific areas.
Conclusion
- Conventional resources are limited and
polluting.
- Unconventional resources are cleaner and the
future.
- We should shift to renewable energy for a
better planet.
