Renewabe Physical Energy Sources
All of these require large amount of infrastructure and money.
Hydroelectricity
Is a form of potential energy but not an option because it requires electricity from the grld (off peak) to pump the water uphill. This water is then used to generate electricty when the electricity is more expensive (at peak time) by letting it flow downhill.
All the listed sources require a large battery to store energy when theese sources do not meet the power requirements
#
Wave Power
Need to be living near the sea where there are enough waves and high tides everyday.
Wind Mill
The developing country needs needs to have a windy climate and enough funding to make wind turbines
Water Mill
Only a good option if living near large fast flowing water bodies
Solar Energy
could potentially use if enough funding was availabe in developing countries to make the solar panels
Non Renewable Chemical Energy
Nuclear Energy
Is not a renewable source of energy.
Is not sutainable and creates radioactive waste which is toxic to the environment if released.
Is not a feasible source of energy in the developing countiries as it requires a large expensive infrastructure.
Fossil Fuels
Coal, Oil and Gas
All the sources need a lot of infrastructures and the developing country need large reserves of these fuels.
Fossil fuels have a net release of CO2.
Transesterification
Methanol and Ethanol
