4.8 Renewable Vs Non Renewable energy
Renewable
Tidal
Tidal water drives turbines the main producers
France And Russia
its used for electricity and large skimes could produce a lot of electricity it is clean and protect coast from erosion
Solar
solar pannels or photovoltaic cells using sun light most producers are
Usa India
is used by direct heating and electricity could be used in most parts of the world they are unlimited supply its clean and efficent and can be built in to new buildings but it is expensive and needs sun light and cloud-night and require tecnological development
Wind
Drives blades to turn turbines the main producers are
China Usa Brazil Canada Germany
is used to electricity it is very clean no air pollution and is cheap but wind are not costant and cause visual and noise pollution and produce little energy
Geothermal
bore holes can be drilled below ground to use the earth natural heath the main producers
Japan New Zeland Russia Island and Unghary
its used for electricity direct heating many are in vulcanic areas but releases sulfuric gasses it is expensive to develop and the high temperature can create problems
biofuels and waste
fermented animals or plant waste or crops refuse inceneration main producers are
argentina brazil japan germany denmark india
is used to ethanol methane electricity and heating they are widely avaiable, uses waste products and be used at a local level but can be expensive cannot be recicled and causes pollution
Hydro
is good for regular supply of water needed water held in a reservoir channeled trough pipes to a turbine the main producers are
China Canada Brazil Usa Russia And Norway
is used to electricity. it is very clean can controll flooding and provide water intimes of shortage spartially popilated areas but large areas of land flooded sealt trapped the behind dum lake sealts up
Non Renewable: are finite, once they are used up they cannot be replaced because they take too long to form or regrow and they include the major fossil fuels
Natural Gas
Formed Undergrownd from plant and animal matter the main producers are
Usa Russia Canada Iran Qatar and Norway
is used to electricity it is used for cooking heating. it is efficent clean and easy to transport but cause explosion and air pollution
Fuel Wood
Formed by trees and main producers are
Africa and Asia
is used to heating and cooking or building homes it is easy and avaiable collected by local people free and replanting possible but is consumed quickly and deforstation leads to other problems ( soil erosion and desertification)
Oil
Formed Undergrownd from plant and animal matter the main producers are
Usa Saudi Arabia Russia China Canada Iran And Iraq
is used to electricity petroleum diesel coke and plastics medicines and fertilizers it is easy to transport and efficient but there are low reserves cause air pollution and its dangerous
Nuclear energy
is non renewable because of realiance on uranium and renewable because the nuclear fuel maybe reused is from heavy metal (uranium) the main producers are
Usa France Japan Russia China And South Korea
is used in a chain reaction to produce heat for electricity
advantages clean fewer greenhouses gases efficent uses small ammount of raw material and small ammount of waste
disadvantages: radiations high cost of buildings and decommissioning power station problems over disposal of waste
Coal
Formed Underground from the decaying plant and animal matter, the main producers are
China Usa Australia India Indonesia and Russia*
is used to electricity heating and coke and there are a lot world reserves, newer mines are highly mechaniced but is the major responsible from the global warming
