Renewable Energy sources |
Fact: Renewable Energy sources can reduce Air pollution Fact: Renewable Energy sources can reduce water pollution Fact: Renewable Energy sources can reduce soil pollution Fact: Renewable Energy sources can reduce Health risk for humans Fact: Renewable Energy sources can extend natural resources for our children |
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, can be called Solar energyEnergy generated from what we callnatural resources: A) Sunlight B) Wind C) Rain D) Tides E) Geothermal heat F) Biomass G) Bio-fuel What is the good thing about RENEWABLE energy sources? They are naturally replenished by the sun: Hydroelectricity Solar hot water/heating Geothermal energy Wind power Solar power photovoltaic Ocean energy All renewable energy does not produce air and water pollution All renewable energy can be harvested without burning fossil fuels. Another good thing: With about 129,000 jobs, the American solar industry now employs much more workers than the U.S. steel production sector. ![]() |
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. Biomass![]() Hydrogen![]() Geothermal![]() Ocean![]() The ocean can produce thermal energy from the sun's heat and mechanical energy from the tides and waves. BSB conducts research in ocean thermal energy or ocean mechanical energy, gives advice. Hydropower![]() Ask us for advice, + what prices to expect + what system would fit to your needs .. The power of the sun can be used in many ways: |
![]() Heat = hot water heat + power cooking Electricity generation Photovoltaic heat engines Desalination of seawater Solar design in architecture Solar heating systems Solar hot water panels Solar cooking Solar lighting Photo voltaic Solar thermal electric Bio gas Concentrating collector with steam engine Concentrating collector with Stirling engine Solar updraft tower Energy tower Solar pond Solar powered car |
![]() ![]() Why to use renewable energyRenewable energy producers use the power of our sun to transform sun energy to electricity with photovoltaic. |
![]() ![]() air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels ! KILLS them! BSB-Quizzes BSB shows the use of Renewable energy at our Nature Preserve in the Texas Hill Country - close to San Antonio See a working Solar water heating panel See a working electricity producing Windmill See solar panels, photo-voltaics - BSB members receive free advice Nature will survive without Humans BUT Humans cannot survive without Nature |
