Green Energy

What is Green Energy?
Green energy is any energy type that is
generated from natural resources, such as
sunlight, wind or water.
How Does it Work?
The main sources are wind energy,
solar power and hydroelectric power
(including tidal energy, which uses
ocean energy from the tides in the
sea). Solar and wind power are able
to be produced on a small scale at
people’s homes or alternatively,
they can be generated on a larger,
industrial scale.
The six most common forms are as follows:
1. Solar Power
2. Wind Power
3. Hydropower
4. Geothermal Energy
5. Biomass
6. Biofuels
Solar Power
This common renewable, green energy
source is usually produced using
photovoltaic cells that capture
sunlight and turn it into
electricity. Solar power is also used
to heat buildings and for hot water
as well as for cooking and lighting.
Solar power has now become affordable
enough to be used for domestic
purposes including garden lighting,
although it is also used on a larger
scale to power entire neighbourhoods.
Wind Power
Particularly suited to offshore and
higher altitude sites, wind energy
uses the power of the flow of air
around the world to push turbines
that then generate electricity.
Hydropower
Also known as hydroelectric power,
this type of green energy uses the
flow of water in rivers, streams,
dams or elsewhere to produce energy.
Hydropower can even work on a small
scale using the flow of water
through pipes in the home or can
come from evaporation, rainfall or
the tides in the oceans.
Exactly how ‘green’ the following
three types of green energy are is
dependent on how they are created…
Geothermal Energy
This type of green power uses thermal
energy that has been stored just under
the earth’s crust. While this resource
requires drilling to access, thereby
calling the environmental impact into
question, it is a huge resource once
tapped into. Geothermal energy has been
used for bathing in hot springs for
thousands of years and this same
resource can be used for steam to turn
turbines and generate electricity.
Biomass
This renewable resource also needs
to be carefully managed in order to
be truly labelled as a ‘green
energy’ source. Biomass power
plants use wood waste, sawdust and
combustible organic agricultural
waste to create energy. While the
burning of these materials releases
greenhouse gas these emissions are
still far lower than those from
petroleum-based fuels.
Biofuels
Rather than burning biomass as
mentioned above, these organic
materials can be transformed into
fuel such as ethanol and biodiesel.
Having supplied just 2.7% of the
world’s fuel for transport in 2010,
the biofuels are estimated to have
the capacity to meet over 25% of
global transportation fuel demand by
2050.
