Pros and cons of renewable energies+ -

endless Conditions and locations huge impact

No burning of fossil fuels no toxic chemicals

Investment costs are high

Widely available drawbacks, or limitations with respect to environment and ecology

low maintenance costs associated with them

Not yet a global acceptance

Hydroelectric station

Pumped storage hydroelectric station

Geothermal energy

Heat energy electric energy

the drilling can cause an earthquakeyou might drill a hole without finding a heat

sourceyou could hit the groundwater testing for places with enough heat is very

expensive

Sustainability of renewable energy forms

Solar radiation energy

• Solar energy is up to 50 times more

sustainable in comparison to coal

• the solar panels must be produced

before they can be placed on the roof

Production

• Mining of silicium• Silicium gets raffined

takes a lot of hydrochloric acid• Wafer gets formed• Wafer goes into bath of

industrial acids and heavy metals to become a useful solar cell.

• the poisonous production processes endanger the environment and must be replaced by an other, responsible way.

• Health of local population and workers must be guaranteed

• BUT:• Responsible choises are expensive• Hard global competition• Economization is necessary

LOCATIONS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGIESSolar Energy Panels

- Solar Heat Panels- Solar Electricity

Wind Energy Parks

Water Energy Locations- River Power Plant- Reservoir Power

Station

Geothermal Energy Plants

next to the equator

coastal regions; high plateaus

-> rivers; barrier lakes (ex. the Alps)

-> in the best case Island; Greece; Turkey

LOKATIONS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGIESSolar electricity panels

Solar heat panels Next to the equator

Wind energy parks Coastal regionsHigh altitude plateaus

Water energy:-River power plants- Reservoir power stations

Rivers and barrier lakes in mountain regions

Geothermal power plants Iceland, Greece, Turkey
