1. Energy conservation

2. Energy conservation Facts
• Energy conservation- reducing energy use.
• Over 70% of electricity in the U.S. is generated
from non-renewable sources.
• If the energy efficiency of commercial and
industrial buildings improved by 10%, it would
equal a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
equal to taking 30 million cars off the road.

3. Energy conservation Facts
• Energy can be conserved by using renewable
resources.
• There are 5 types of renewable resources.
• Solar, Hydroelectric, Biomass fuels,
Geothermal, and Wind.
• The EIA estimates that about 19% of world
electricity generation is from renewable
energy.

4. Solar energy
• Solar energy is energy from the sun.
• Solar energy is captured by solar panels.
• About 0.22% of US energy comes from solar
energy.

6. Hydroelectric Energy
• Hydroelectric energy is energy from moving
water.
• The water moves and turns a turbine that
generates electricity.
• 6% of US energy comes from Hydroelectric
energy.

8. Biomass Fuels
• Biomass fuels are made from living things.
• Biomass fuels are burned to get energy.
• 4.6% of US energy comes from biomass fuels.

9. Biomass Fuels

10. Geothermal Energy
• Geothermal energy is energy from Earth’s
heat.
• Geothermal pumps are used to tap into this
resource.
• .4% of US energy comes from geothermal
energy.

12. Wind Energy
• Wind energy is energy produced by wind.
• Wind spins a wind turbine which generates
electricity.
• 1.4% of US energy comes from wind energy.
