Impact (s) 8 Conclusion 9 References 10 INTRODUCTION Biomass is a source of renewable energy. Biomass is a fancy name for material from plants and animals. Some kinds of biomass can be burned to produce energy. One common example is wood. Biomass contains stored energy. That’s because plants absorb energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. When biomass is burned‚ this stored energy is released as heat. Burning biomass releases carbon dioxide. However‚ plants also take

ENERGY: Energy is the amount of force or power when applied can move one object from one position to another or Energy defines the capacity of a system to do work. Energy exists in everybody whether they are human beings or animals or non-living things for e.g.: Jet‚ Light‚ Machines etc... Energy can have many forms: kinetic‚ potential‚ light‚ sound‚ gravitational‚ elastic‚ electromagnetic or nuclear. The many different natural and renewable energy technologies are by no means breakthrough. Many

Renewable Energy Vs. Non-Renewable Disley Perera HUM/111 March 30th‚ 2013 Pamela Harris Abstract For my research on renewable energy and nonrenewable energy I gathered several pros and cons. I have described them‚ and the reasons as to why I believe both sources have important facts of why and why not we should continue the use of these. My thoughts on renewable energy of course is more determined for the fact that it is based of natural energy unlike nonrenewable that is

Renewable sources of Energy Summary The potential of renewable energy sources is enormous as they can in principle meet many times the world’s energy demand. Renewable energy sources such as biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ hydropower‚ and geothermal can provide sustainable energy services‚ based on the use of routinely available‚ indigenous resources. A transition to renewables-based energy systems is looking increasingly likely as their costs decline while the price of oil and gas continue to fluctuate

Lecturer: Mrs. Priyadharshini Ahrumugam Impacts of renewable energy sources Renewable energy is a form of usable energy generated by non-conventional energy sources. Non-conventional energy refers to geothermal heat‚ biomass‚ wind and solar. They are constantly replenished and will never run out. These renewable sources are not causing environmental pollution and produce less or zero carbon emissions. Relying on renewable energy sources will help reduce the contribution of carbon dioxide

What is a renewable source of energy? Energy is essential for life. We use it in factories‚ in cars‚ airplanes‚ trains and ships. To heat food‚ light our houses etc. However‚ energy consumption is different in different countries. Since always human beings have used energy sources to do work or produce heat. Firstly‚ they used domestic animals or their physical forces. After‚ they used the wind and the water. Then‚ they exploited the use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy. In the near future we
