    ALTERNATIVE
    ENERGY
    SOURCES
    Or Renewable Energy

    Week 17 Presentation
    INTRODUCTION
    Oil, coal, and natural gas are our most
    prevalent sources of fossil fuels for electricity
    production. As a result, alternative energy is
    any energy that is generated from a source
    other than fossil fuels. In other words,
    alternative energy is any energy that comes
    from sources other than fossil fuels. In general,
    employing alternative energy can have low
    impact in the environment.
    WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE
    ENERGY?
    ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
    Alternative energy is frequently called as
    Renewable Energy. Renewable energy is one of
    the most frequently discussed solutions to
    global warming. Renewable energy is produced
    by natural sources that are continually
    replenished by nature at a higher rate than
    they are consumed. It is considered to be
    much cleaner, non-polluting and a more
    sustainable energy.
    DISCUSSION –
    ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
    Alternative energy is a term that refers to all
    usable energy that aims to replace conventional
    fuels without the unexpected consequences of it.
    The term is for the efforts of reducing the use of
    hydrocarbon fuels resulting in environmental
    damage due to high carbon dioxide emissions,
    which contribute greatly to global warming.
    DIFFERENCES
    Alternative energy sources are any source we
    use to supplement or even replace traditional
    energy sources used for power generation.
    Renewable energy sources are derived from
    naturally replenished sources or processes of
    Earth, such as the sun, wind, and water. We refer
    to these resources as renewable or sustainable (as
    in sustainable energy) since, unlike fossil fuels,
    this naturally occurring continual renewal makes
    them inexhaustible
    ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
    Benefits: Disadvantages:
    Human Growth No sun, No solar energy
    Economy Structured non-livable
    Development Without wind no energy
    Reduce Energy will be produced

    Green
    TYPES OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
    WIND ENERGY
    Wind power is one of the alternative energy
    sources that serves both individuals and entire
    communities. It’s versatile, and can be
    produced from small-scale windmills or wind
    turbines on residential properties to large-
    scale offshore wind farms in the ocean.
    SOLAR ENERGY
    Solar power most commonly refers to the use
    of photovoltaic cells (or solar cells) to create
    energy. On a small scale, you may see a few
    solar panels on a house roof used to produce
    energy for just that one home. On a larger
    scale, you may see a solar farm used as a
    power plant to produce electricity for their
    consumers.
    HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY
    Generated from the energy of moving water,
    hydroelectricity (also known as hydropower) is
    produced when water behind a dam causes
    turbine blades to move as it flows through an
    intake. The turbine blades then rotate a
    generator to produce electricity that is sent to
    power homes and businesses.
    GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

    We generate geothermal power by tapping into


    underground reservoirs of hot water and steam.
    Geothermal electricity can directly heat and
    cool buildings.
    BIOENERGY
    We generate bioenergy from organic materials
    known as biomass or biofuels. Some examples
    would be recently living animal or plant
    byproducts and wood. For example, methane
    can be captured from landfills to produce
    bioenergy, which we then used to produce
    electricity and heat. Ethanol is one example of
    a biofuel that many people are familiar with.
    NUCLEAR ENERGY
    Nuclear energy is created in the form of heat
    through the fission process of atoms. The initial
    fission process creates energy and triggers a
    chain reaction that repeats the process and
    generates more energy. In nuclear power
    plants, the heat that fission produces creates
    steam. The steam then rotates a turbine, which
    leads to the production of electricity.
    TIDAL ENERGY
    With the movement of the tides, we get tidal
    energy when the kinetic energy of the water
    movement converts into electrical energy. Of
    course, this is one of the location-specific
    sources of energy, but it’s very effective. Tidal
    energy is renewable and produces large
    amounts of energy even with low-speed tides.
    WAVE ENERGY
    Wave energy is an alternative energy source
    derived from waves as they move across the
    water. Wave energy uses electricity generators
    placed on the ocean’s surface. Wave height,
    wavelength, wave speed, and water density
    determine the energy output. Wave energy is
    environmentally friendly, renewable, and
    harmless to the atmosphere.
    RENEWABLE ENERGY IN THE
    PHILIPPINES
    INTRODUCTION
    Renewable been an alternative way to lessen electricity
    cost for citizens, it is also to replenished energy from the
    environment without harming it. Lately renewable energy
    is discussed as an important project in the Philippines,
    considering electricity bills cost higher recently due to
    inflation or maybe the pandemic. Wherein they build
    programs like the recent news about nuclear power plants
    that can help in building economic growth for the country.
