NON-CONVENTIONAL
RESOURCES
And its types

SANJANA
GRADE 8
What are non-conventional resoures ?
Non-Conventional energy sources (also called
alternative energy sources) are any sources or
substances that can be used to produce fuels, other than
conventional fuels. These are sources that are
continuously replenished by natural processes, including
biomass, hydropower, nuclear power, solar energy, and
tidal energy.
Renewable energy sources also called non-conventional
energy, are sources that are continu- ously replenished by
natural processes.
non-conventional resoures Types
Nuclear power or atomic power
Hydroelectric power
Wind
Solar energy
Geothermal energy
Tidal energy
Biogas
Nuclear power or atomic power
The energy that is released through a nuclear
reaction or radioactive decay process. Of
particular interest is the process known as
fission, which occurs in a nuclear reactor and
produces energy usually in the form of heat.
Atomic energy is more correctly called nuclear
energy. ...
Hydroelectric power
Hydroelectric energy, also called hydroelectric power
or hydroelectricity, is a form of energy that harnesses
the power of water in motion—such as water flowing
over a waterfall—to generate electricity.
Wind
Wind energy is a form of solar energy. Wind energy (or
wind power) describes the process by which wind is used to
generate electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic
energy in the wind into mechanical power. A generator can
convert mechanical power into electricity.
Solar energy
Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is
harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such
as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar
architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial
photosynthesis.
Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is heat derived within the sub-surface of the
earth. Water and/or steam carry the geothermal energy to the
Earth's surface. Depending on its characteristics, geothermal
energy can be used for heating and cooling purposes or be
harnessed to generate clean electricity.
Tidal energy
Tidal energy is a renewable energy powered by the natural
rise and fall of ocean tides and currents. Some of these
technologies include turbines and paddles.
Biogas
Biogas is the mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of
organic matter in the absence of oxygen (anaerobically),
primarily consisting of methane and carbon dioxide. Biogas can be
produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure,
municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food
waste
