Renewable Energy |

|
Sunlight is Earth's primary source of energy. The solar constant is the amount of power that the Sun deposits per unit area that is directly exposed to sunlight. The solar constant is ~1,370 watts per square meter or ~1273 watts per 10 square feet. All Renewable energy is directly connected with our sun. Solar energyEnergy generated fromwhat we call natural resources:A) SunlightB) Wind C) Rain D) Tides E) Geothermal heat F) Biomass G) Biofuel What is the good thing about RENEWABLES? They are naturally replenished by the sun: Hydroelectricity
All renewable energy does not produce |





We give information
on all RENEWABLE ENERGY sources.
Renewable Energy BasicsMost countries currently rely heavily on coal, oil, and natural gas for their energy. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable, that is, they draw on finite resources that will eventually dwindle, becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve. In contrast, renewable energy resources—such as wind and solar energy—are constantly replenished and will never run out. Solar
Most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight, or solar energy, can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and other buildings, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses. Wind
The sun's heat also drives the winds, whose energy is captured with wind power. Then, the winds and the sun's heat cause water to evaporate. When this water vapor turns into rain or snow and flows downhill into rivers or streams, its energy can be captured using hydropower. BiomassAlong with the rain and snow, sunlight causes plants to grow. The organic matter that makes up those plants is known as biomass. Biomass can be used to produce electricity, transportation fuels, or chemicals. The use of biomass for any of these purposes is called biomass energy. HydrogenHydrogen also can be found in many organic compounds, as well as water. It's the most abundant element on the Earth. But it doesn't occur naturally as a gas. It's always combined with other elements, such as with oxygen to make water. Once separated from another element, hydrogen can be burned as a fuel or converted into electricity. GeothermalNot all renewable energy resources come from the sun. Geothermal energy taps the Earth's internal heat for a variety of uses, including electric power production, and the heating and cooling of buildings. And the energy of the ocean's tides comes from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun upon the Earth. OceanThe ocean can produce thermal energy from the sun's heat and mechanical energy from the tides and waves. BSBNCG conducts research in ocean thermal energy or ocean mechanical energy. U.S. Department of Energy's Consumer Guide Web site for basic information ocean energy. HydropowerFlowing water creates energy that can be captured and turned into electricity. This is called hydroelectric power or hydropower. We study hydropower technologies. Information on hydroelectric power, Hydropower Basics from the U.S. Department of Energy's Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program.
