RENEWABLE ENERGY
Wind – Windmills Solar – Solar panels Geothermal – Earth
core heat (Geothermal plant in Iceland)
Hydropower – Dam (Clyde Dam in New Zealand)
BIOMASS
Biological materials such as corn, switch grass, sugarcane, algae
Can be used as fuel i.e. Biofuels such as biodiesel
Biodegradable waste that can be burned as fuel
COMPRESSED AIR
Air engine Emission free, 10
times less expensive than gasoline
Not as efficient Used in small drills
and early forms of self propelled torpedoes
HYDROGEN
Highly flammable Has to be produced by
other means such as electrolysis of water because there is no natural reserve of uncombined hydrogen in atmosphere
High energy content by weight, but low energy content by volume making it hard to store in vehicles
10 times more expensive than oil
