HARNESSING ENERGY

• A source from which useful energy can be extracted

or recovered either directly or by means of a

conversion or transformation process.

• An energy source that can be easily replenished

because there are infinite sources.

• An energy source that cannot be replenished since

they are finite.

• Some of these energy sources also emit GHG.

• A fuel that is formed from the decomposition of

fossils or remains, of dead animals, plants and other

organic matter that were buried under dirt and rock.

• It includes natural gas, coal and oil which can all be

found below the Earth.

• It also accounts for about 90% of the world’s energy

consumption.

3 Types of Fossil Fuels

• Solid, Liquid, Gas

• Water, Rocks, Gas

• An energy that comes from the splitting of atoms of a

radioactive element in a reactor to heat water into

steam, turn a turbine and generate electricity.

• Nuclear power plants use uranium (U) as fuel, a

clean and efficient way to drive turbine generators.

• A renewable source of fuel to produce energy that

comes from waste residues.

(plant and animal waste & wood and other solid waste)

• The cleanest and most abundant renewable

energy source available in the world.

• Solar power plant uses solar panels which are

made up of solar cells that harnesses solar energy

from the sun which will be converted to electrical

energy.

• A power plant that offers an enormous and clean

source of energy.

• It is a power plant that are composed of clusters of

wind turbines that produce large amounts of

electricity.

• It is also a clean source of energy.
