What is geothermal energy?

Back

Geothermal energy is heat energy generated and stored in the Earth. It can be used for heating and electricity generation.

Front

What is biomass energy?

Back

Biomass energy is produced from organic materials, such as plants and animal waste, which can be burned or converted into biofuels.

Front

What is wind energy?

Back

Wind energy is the energy obtained from the movement of air, which can be harnessed using wind turbines to generate electricity.

Front

What are wind turbines?

Back

Wind turbines are devices that convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy, which can then be converted into electricity.

Front

What is tidal energy?

Back

Tidal energy is energy generated from the movement of tides, which can be harnessed to produce electricity.

Front

What is solar energy?

Back

Solar energy is energy from the sun that can be converted into thermal or electrical energy using solar panels.

Front

What are solar panels?

Back

Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells.

Front

What is the importance of renewable energy?

Back

Renewable energy is important because it reduces greenhouse gas emissions, decreases reliance on fossil fuels, and promotes sustainable development.

Front

What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy?

Back

Renewable energy comes from sources that can be replenished naturally, while non-renewable energy comes from sources that are finite and will eventually run out, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.
