Alternative Energy Source
Geothermal
Refers to producing energy from the internal heat of the earth.
Can also be used to produce electrical heat
The most volcanically and tectonically active regions of the world
Reliable and consistent
Seismic sensing test well drilling confirmation testing
Biomass
Biomass conversion process
combustion
pyrolysis
anaerobic digestion or biodigestion
gasification
fermintation
Biomass is the primary source of energy
Moves up a small percentage of worlds use
For approximately 2.5billion people, it remains the primary source of energy for cooking and heating.
Availability of resources , technology and economic viability are all drivers or biomass use
The environmental benefits and costs are highly contextual depending on the technology and feedstocks used.
Health risks
Hydroelectricity
Power from moving water
Produced using turbines and generators
Dams and run of river
Dams have more controlled
energy production
Most used for public energy production.
Cost competitive form of electricity
Reliable , helps flood control, and. Water supply for communities.
Negative impact on fish habitats,
people may have to move from riverside home.
Wind
Clean energy
Power generated from moving wind
Wind doesn’t always blow
Different speeds due to location,
season, and the surrounding structures
Cost more than traditional energy
recources
Cost is decreasing
Solar energy
Very clean energy
Very renewable
Not always available at night time
