The sources from which we draw power to drive our
daily needs and actions.
 Conventional Resources :-
Those which have been in a common use for a long time.
 Non-Conventional Resources:-
Non conventional energy resources is energy that is
renewable. That means that it will replenish itself naturally.
 Firewood
 Coal
 Petroleum
 Natural Gas
 Hydel Power
 Solar energy
 Wind energy
 Nuclear energy
 Geo-thermal energy
 Tidal energy
 Bio-gas
 It is widely used for cooking & heating.
 In our country, more 50% of energy comes from
villagers.
 Most abundantly found fossil fuel.
 Generated thermal power.
 It is also called as Buried Sunshine.
 Products of petroleum are used from many year to
light fire .
 Products of petroleum are used for driving vehicle.
 It is found with petroleum depoists and is released
when crude oil is bought to the surface.
 Accounts for about 15% of electricity generated
quickly becoming the fuel of choice.
 Rain water stored in dams is made to fall from
heights. The falling water flows through pipes in the
dams thus generating electricity called as hydro
electricity.
 One fourth of world's electricity is produced by
hydel power.
 Sun is the major resource for this energy.
 Energy trapped from this can be used in solar cells.
 Wind used near coastal areas and high ridges.
 Its is an inexhaustible energy.
 Splitting uranium atoms produces a great deal of
heat energy that is processed into electrical energy
in nuclear plants.
 Utilizes the Earth’s inner heated rocks to heat water
that reaches these areas through seismic faults.
 This water is turned to steam them captured to
operate steam-powered generators.
 Energy generated by tides are called tidal energy.
 They can be harnessed by building dams at narrow
openings of the sea.
 Uses heat generated from burning solid municipal
waste to heat water to operate steam powered
generators.
Thank You
