ENERGY
RESOURCES
By- Aleena Khan
IX ‘A’
ENERGY
Energy is the capacity of a physical system to do
work. The common symbol for energy is the
uppercase letter E. The standard unit is the joule,
symbolized by J. One joule (1 J) is the energy resulting
from the equivalent of one newton (1 N) of force
acting over one meter (1 m) of displacement. There
are two main forms of energy, called potential
energy and kinetic energy.
ENERGY RESOURCES
That which provides usable energy. A resource
can be renewable, as in the sun, sea, and wind.
A resource can be non-renewable, as in a coal
mine, gas well, and oil well. These resources
are sources of energy producing substances.
TYPES OF ENERGY
RESOURCES
Non-renewable energy resources
These resources have formed over millions of years of geological processes, and
we're using them faster than they can be naturally replenished. Examples include
fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, and natural gas. We currently depend on non-
renewables to meet most of our energy demands, extracting and combusting
them primarily to generate electricity or develop fuels for transportation.
Renewable energy resources
Renewable energy resources are those sources of energy which can be
replenished and are not depleted because of our consumption. Renewable
resources include wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower, tidal, and biomass energy.
Nuclear fusion also falls into this category. Typically, renewable energy resources
have much lower greenhouse gas and other emissions associated with use.
CONVENTIONAL
ENERGY
1.Conventional sources of energy are those
sources which have been in use from time
immortal.
2 . They are exhaustible except hydro-energy.
3. They cause pollution when used as they emit
smoke and ash.
4. Their generation and use involve huge
expenditure.
5. Very expensive to maintain, store, transmit as
they are carried over long distances through
transmission grids.
6. Examples are – coal, natural gas, water, firewood
NON-CONVENTIONAL
ENERGY
1. Non-conventional sources of energy have
generally been identified in the recent past.
2. They are inexhaustible.
3. Generally, these are pollution-free.
4. Low expenditure required.
5. Less expensive due to local use and easy
maintenance.
6. Examples are – geothermal energy,solar
energy, wind energy, tidal energy, biogas
energy, nuclear energy
