This document discusses different types of renewable energy sources including biofuels, wind, solar, and nuclear power. It provides some key details about biofuels, noting that they are liquids made from plant materials like corn, soybeans, and algae that can be used as fuel. The production of biofuels involves using plants, which absorb CO2 from the air through photosynthesis, to eventually become biofuel through a production process.

23. How much power can we get from wind energy?
Use the Diercke International Atlas, map 49-3.
a. What countries are in this map?
b. What do the numbered lines mean?
c. How many power plants of each type are there in the
Copenhagen and Malmö region?
d. What is the total power each type can generate?
(‘Decomissioned’ means ‘no longer active’)
e. What percentage of total power is generated by wind
power in the Copenhagen and Malmö region?
f. What could be two effects of wind farms on ship traffic
in the Öresund?

24. How much power can we get from wind energy?
Use the Diercke International Atlas, map 49-3.
f. Where would you build a new wind farm in this area
and why?
• Choose a location and show this location on a map.
You will have to draw the map. Do this carefully.
• Write a short report on your choice. You must
discuss two pros and two cons of your chosen area
and make clear if the pros outweigh the cons.
• Hand in everything at end of class.
