… means capturing heat when it is available and releasing it later when needed
Geothermal power
Solar panels
Thermal storage
Linear system
… is generated from running water. Dams are built across the lake or river in a valley to trap water. The water flows through tunnels and turns the turbine which makes electricity.
Nuclear energy
Wave power
Thermal storage
Hydroelectricity
Geothermal Heat Pump (GHP) is a highly efficient heating and cooling system that transfers heat between a building and the earth using a network of underground pipes
True
False
… comes from the movement of water in the sea. These movements happen twice a day.
Tidal energy
Wave power
Fossil fuels
Hydroelectricity
