RENEWABLE ENERGY by Mind Map: RENEWABLE ENERGY

1. DOWNSIDES

1.1. ENERGY CAPACITY

1.1.1. The energy produced is not enought for a good use

1.2. ENERGY CAN BE UNRELIABLE

1.2.1. As the energy depend of the natural sources it will not have a full day working

2. BENEFITS

2.1. COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGES

2.1.1. It dosent produces danger gases that usuallyt other types of energyes use and contamine the planet directly

2.2. SOURCE OF POWER

2.3. IMPROVED PUBLIC HEALTH

2.4. INEXHAUSTIBLE ENERGY

2.5. STABLE ENERGY PRICES

2.6. JOBS AND OTHER ECONOMIC BENEFITS

3. TYPES

3.1. WIND

3.1.1. Wind energy is generated by converting wind currents into other forms of energy using wind turbines. Wind turbines convert the force of the wind into a torque (rotational force), which propels an electric generator to create electricity.

3.2. SOLAR

3.2.1. Solar energy is energy generated from the sun’s heat or sunlight. Solar power is energy captured from the sun which is converted into electricity, or used to heat air, water, or other fluids.

3.3. HYDRO

3.3.1. Hydropower uses the force or energy of moving water to generate power. This power is called ‘hydroelectricity’.

3.4. GEOTHERMAL

3.4.1. Geothermal energy is stored as heat in the earth.The heat is generated by the natural decay over millions of years of radiogenic elements including uranium, thorium and potassium.

3.5. BIOMASS

3.5.1. Bioenergy is derived from biomass to generate electricity and heat, or to produce liquid fuels for transport. Biomass is any organic matter of recently living plant or animal origin, such as agricultural products, forestry products, municipal and other waste.

4. WHAT IS?

4.1. Renewable energy is produced using natural resources that are constantly replaced and never run out.
