RENEWABLE AND NOT

RENEWABLE ENERGIES

ENERGY

Energy is defined as the capacity of performing changes

It allows almost everything in the Universe to happen

NON - RENEWABLE ENERGY

● Oil

● Coal

● Natural Gas

● Nuclear Fission Energy

By non-renewable energy we mean those kinds of limited sources of energy that can not be replaced when they are completely used up.

OIL

Advantages:● It is easy to manage and

its use is well organized.

Disadvantages:● It contaminates when is

produced, transported or used.

● It releases CO2

● It causes acid rainhttp://www.educapoles.org/swf/animations_loader.swf?path=/uploads/flashanims_files/energy_10_oil_061211.swf

COALAdvantages:

● Deposits are usually on the surface which makes it easy to remove and transport

Disadvantages:● Its extraction generates a

significant degradation of the landscape

● It produces too much CO2

● It causes acid rain

NATURAL GASAdvantages:

● It doesn’t produce acid rain

Disadvantages:● High installation cost

● High CO2 emissions and fuel consumption

NUCLEAR ENERGY

Advantages:

● High energetic output. ● Low atmospheric

contamination.

Disadvantages:● Radiactive residuals.● Detailed protocol program is

required.● An accident may have terrible

consequences.

RENEWABLE ENERGIES

● Solar● Wind● Minihidraulic● Tidal wave● Geothermal● Biomass

They are energies which are constantly renewed. It doesn’t mind what they are used far, and they always keep the same level of energy.

SOLARAdvantages:

● It does not use petrol

● It does not produce much residuals

● CO2 emission and enviromental impact are reduced

● The sun is free

Disadvantages:

● The location must be in a place with high solar radiation

● Less developed than other systems

● It is dangerous because of the high temperatures it reaches

WINDAdvantages:

● It does not produce pollution

● It is a safe and renewable source of energy

● It doesn’t release CO2 emissions and it doesn’t generate residues

Disadvantages:

● It depends on atmospheric conditions

● The transformation towers modify the landscape and produce a high level of acoustic contamination

● A lot of birds die when they crashed into the windmill spades

WAVE ENERGY

Advantages:● Low level of pollution● It is avaliable in any

climate and epoch of the year

Disadvantages:● Visual impact on the

coastal landscape● Punctual location● High cost

MINIHYDRAULIC

Advantages:

● It is a renewable and clean energy that even works at night

● Low cost. It doesn’t use fuel

Disadvantages:

● Landscape must be modified

● Need of flooding a large extension of land that forces people to move from their home

GEOTHERMAL ENERGYAdvantages:

● No acoustic contamination

● This energy doesn’t produce too much residuals

● This system allows us to save a lot of money

Disadvantages:

● Water is contaminated with substances as ammonia and arsenic

● It produces thermal pollution

● This energy damages landscape

BIOMASS

Advantages:

● You can use biomass fuel for a lot things

● The CO2 released in biomass’combustion has been previously fixed in plant growth, with a very favorable balance

Disadvantages:

● The plant construction causes alterations in the natural environment

● Getting a good energy supply needs a large amount of biomass
