Elastic (potential)

• All forms of energy are stored
in different ways, in the energy
sources we use every day.
• These sources are divided into
2 groups.

Renewable
An energy source that can
be replenished in a short
period of time.
Non–Renewable
Non-renewable resources
are resources for which
there is a limited supply.
2TYPESOFRESOURCES

Examples of:
Non-Renewable Energy
Oil
Coal
Natural Gas
Nuclear

Examples of:
Renewable Energy
Sun
Wind
Geothermal
Biomass (plants)
Water

Fossil fuel
 Primary non-renewable fossil sources
burn coal or hydrocarbon fuels, which
are the remains of the decomposition
of plants and animals.
3main types of fossil fuels:
• coal
• petroleum
• natural gas

Effect of fossil fuel
 The combustion of fossil fuels leads
to the release of pollution into the
atmosphere.
 They are causes of the global
warming.
 Greenhouse gas emissions result
from fossil fuel-based electricity
generation.

Nuclear Fuels
The other form of non-
renewable resource used
to produce energy,
nuclear fuels, is primarily
obtained through the
mining and refining of
uranium ore.
Uranium
is a naturally occurring
element found within the
Earth's core.

The Philippines has large reserves
of many natural resources. these
are oil, natural gas and coal.
Other sources of energy that can be
harnessed include geothermal
energy and hydroelectricity.

Oil barrels
The Philippines' proven oil deposits
currently stand at 138 million barrels.
Natural gas flame
Natural gas deposits in the Philippines are
located offshore, above the country's deep-
sea oil reserves. The Philippines possesses
3.9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas
reserves.

Coal mining
The Philippines holds 260 million short
tons of usable coal reserves.
While it has recently increased extraction,
consumption still far outpaces production,
forcing the country to rely on imports to
meet demand.

Other sources of energy
Geothermal Energy
Currently, the
Philippines is the
second highest
producer of
geothermal energy.
The government has
set a goal to surpass
the United States as
the highest producer
in the world.

THE PRODUCTION OF
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
In the Philippines
geothermal energy
already provides
27% of the
country's total
electricity
production
generated in power
plants.
Geothermal power
plants are on the
islands Luzon,
Negros, Mindanao
and Leyte.

Hydroelectricity
Hydroelectricity centers in
the Philippines generate
2,900 megawatts of
electricity, which is 19
percent of the country's
total electricity
consumption.
The rate of production has
remained constant for
decades, but there are
plans to introduce more
hydroelectric centers.

!!!

Hydroelectricity is the
term referring to
electricity generated by
hydropower.
The production of
electrical power through
the use of the
gravitational force of
falling or flowing water.

• The heat inside the
Earth produces
steam and hot
water that can be
used to power
generators and
produce electricity,
or for other
applications such as
home heating and
power generation
for industry.

• The sun is our most
powerful source of
energy.
• Solar energy, radiant light
and heat from the sun, is
harnessed using a range
of ever-evolving
technologies such as solar
heating, photovoltaic,
concentrated solar power,
solar architecture and
artificial photosynthesis.

• Wind energy is
captured by wind
turbines and used to
generate electricity.
• As offshore wind
speeds average ~90%
greater than that of
land, so offshore
resources can
contribute substantially
more energy than land
stationed turbines.

• Biomass is biological material
derived from living, or
recently living organisms. It
most often refers to plants or
plant-derived materials which
are specifically called
lignocellulosic biomass.
• biomass includes plant or
animal matter that can be
converted into fibers or other
industrial chemicals, including
biofuels.
