Energy Resources Presentation

The document discusses various energy resources, categorizing them into conventional (coal, petroleum, natural gas) and unconventional (hydropower, nuclear, solar, wind, biomass, tidal, geothermal). Each resource is described with its source, uses, advantages, and disadvantages. The conclusion emphasizes the need to transition from limited and polluting conventional resources to cleaner, renewable energy sources for a sustainable future.

Energy Resources

• Conventional and Unconventional


• Presented by: [Your Name]
Coal
• - Source: Fossil fuel formed from dead plants
over millions of years.
• - Use: Mainly in thermal power plants to
generate electricity.
• - Advantages: Cheap and abundant.
• - Disadvantages: Causes air pollution and
global warming.
Petroleum (Oil)
• - Source: Extracted from underground
reserves.
• - Use: Fuel for vehicles, machines, and
electricity.
• - Advantages: High energy output, easy to
transport.
• - Disadvantages: Limited supply, major cause
of pollution.
Natural Gas
• - Source: Found near petroleum deposits.
• - Use: Cooking, heating, and electricity
generation.
• - Advantages: Burns cleaner than coal or oil.
• - Disadvantages: Still non-renewable, risk of
leakage/explosion.
Hydropower
• - Source: Water stored in dams.
• - Use: Generates electricity by rotating
turbines.
• - Advantages: Renewable, no pollution.
• - Disadvantages: Affects aquatic life and
nearby villages.
Nuclear Energy
• - Source: Fission of uranium atoms in nuclear
reactors.
• - Use: Electricity generation.
• - Advantages: High energy output, low
emissions.
• - Disadvantages: Radioactive waste, risk of
accidents.
Solar Energy
• - Source: Sunlight captured by solar panels.
• - Use: Home lighting, heating, and power
generation.
• - Advantages: Free, abundant, no pollution.
• - Disadvantages: Works only in sunlight, high
setup cost.
Wind Energy
• - Source: Wind turns turbines to generate
electricity.
• - Use: Power supply in wind-rich areas.
• - Advantages: Clean and renewable.
• - Disadvantages: Needs open space, not
constant.
Biomass Energy
• - Source: Organic waste like crop remains,
wood, animal waste.
• - Use: Cooking, heating, electricity in rural
areas.
• - Advantages: Reuses waste, reduces landfill.
• - Disadvantages: Air pollution if not used
efficiently.
Tidal Energy
• - Source: Ocean tides moving turbines.
• - Use: Coastal electricity generation.
• - Advantages: Predictable and renewable.
• - Disadvantages: Expensive and limited to
coastal areas.
Geothermal Energy
• - Source: Heat from inside the Earth.
• - Use: Heating and electricity generation.
• - Advantages: Eco-friendly, constant supply.
• - Disadvantages: Only available in specific
areas.
Conclusion
• - Conventional resources are limited and
polluting.
• - Unconventional resources are cleaner and
the future.
• - We should shift to renewable energy for a
better planet.
