Biomass
Energy from burning organic or living matter.
What is Biomass?
Energy from the sun.
What Is solar energy?
It comes from the nucleus of atoms. The energy is released by nuclear fusion or nuclear fission. Nuclear plants use nuclear fission of radioactive element called Uranium to generate electricity.
What is Nuclear Energy?
It is energy produced from force of moving water. This force can be extremely powerful and is driven by gravity.
What is Hydro Power?
Energy From the Wind.
What is Wind Energy?
Renewable energy from plants and animals.
How Biomass is Made?
t’s easy to generate
It’s silent-makes no noise at all as they turn sunlight into usable electricity. We can enjoy the peace and quiet.
It’s non-polluting. Solar electricity power plants produce zero emissions when they’re up and running.
What are benefits of Solar Energy?
when nuclei of atoms are combined or fused together. This is how the sun produces energy.
What is Nuclear Fusion?
is used to generate electricity in Dams.
What is Hydro Power?
Clean, infinite in supply over the long term and cheap with decreasing costs once the wind farm is established.
The generation process doesn’t lead to pollutants and greenhouse gases
Wind does not need to be mined, fracked or extracted, so it’s truly a clean energy.
What is Pros of Wind Energy?
releasing CO2 in combustion
Environmental damage because of various gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds which all contribute to air pollution
What is Cons of Biomass?
Renewable energy source
Reduces electricity bills
Diverse applications
It can be used for diverse purposes: generate electricity (photovoltaics) or heat(solar thermal)
What are pros of Solar Energy?
when nuclei of atoms are split apart. This is the method used by nuclear plants to generate electricity.
What is Nuclear Fission?
can be opened or closed to control the flow of water
What is a Dam?
For local communities can come at a cost. Wind turbines and wind farms take up a significant amount of space, and they can mean both noise and visual pollution for the local communities.
Wind supply can vary throughout any given time period, so generation might not be as reliable as expected unless the farm’s located in a very windy area.
What is Cons of Wind Energy
Reduced dependence on fossil fuels
Carbon neutral: During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon present in the atmosphere and it is again released back when they are burnt in a biomass energy plant.
What is the Pros of Biomass?
Weather dependent
Solar energy storage is expensive
Uses a lot of space
What is Negatives of Solar Energy
It is a radioactive element that was formed when the Earth was first created. It occurs naturally in certain types of rock. It is easily fissioned, so is used as fuel by nuclear power plants. Although Uranium is found all over the world, it is still a non-renewable energy source.
What is Uranium?
Renewable energy source
Clean energy source. Creating power with hydroelectric energy is not contaminating itself and do not produce any toxic or greenhouse gases that pollutes the atmosphere.
What is the Pros of Hydropower?
The biggest state producer of wind energy.
What is Texas?
What is the Top Producing state in Biomass?
What is North Dakota?
Solar Thermal and Solar photovoltaic.
What are the 2 types of Solar Technology?
Accidents happen.The radioactive waste can possess a threat to the environment and dangerous for humans.(Chernobyl accident)
Disadvantages of Nuclear Energy
Environmental damage: interruptions of natural water flow can impact the river ecosystem and the environment. Some fish normally migrate when there is food shortage or when the breeding season begins. Building of dams could cut off their paths leading to lack of reproduction or fish deaths.
What is the Cons Of Hydropower?
An unlimited energy source.
What is Wind Turbine?
