Is electrical energy renewable or non renewable?
The most popular renewable energy sources currently are: Solar energy. Wind energy. Hydro energy. Tidal energy. Geothermal energy. Biomass energy.
Can hydrogen be produced from renewable sources?
Yes, it is (96%) produced by coal and oil, but can be made from renewable sources like wind or solar power!
Is electricty nonrenewable?
Electricity itself cannot be considered renewable or nonrenewable--what matters is how that electricity is produced. Any resource that can be replenished by sustainable processes at a rate faster or equal to its use by humans can be considered renewable. Most of the electricity in the world is generated from nonrenewable fuel sources, such as coal, gasoline, natural gas, or other fossil fuels. Sources such as solar cells, windmills, hydroelectric dams, and geothermal power plants are considered renewable sources of electricity. Alcohol and biodiesel derived from renewable crops such as corn, sugarcane, and switch grass are also renewable sources of energy. Nuclear power plants, especially breeder-style reactors, may also be considered renewable sources of energy.
Can renewable energy and non-renewable energy can be used at the same time?
Answer : YES Renewable power sources and non-renewable power souces are both used to generate electricity, which is then transfered through the 'power grid' (power lines) to different houses. Electricity generated from renewable sources is not different in any way to electricity generated by non-renewable sources. Therefore, they can both be used at the same t5ime
Why is it important to use electricity?
1. Safety. Electricity can kill by shock or by fire. 2. Energy conservation. Waste will cost you money, most supplies are produced by non-renewable sources.
Is electricity non renewable or renewable?
Sources of energy are termed renewable and non-renewable. Electricity can come from many sources including power plants, wind farms, hydroelectric plants and solar panels. Power plants that burn fossil fuels are using non-renewable fuel sources, but energy from solar panels use renewable energy. A power plant can use biofuels, which are renewable.
Use of different energgy sources including fuels and renewable sources to provide a nations electricity supply?
The use of different energy sources including fuels and renewable sources to provide a nations electricity supply is referred to as clean energy or renewable energy. Examples are solar power, biofuels, geothermal, and hydro-power.
How renewable and non-renewable enerygy sources produce electricity?
They produce electricity be burning coal and then the coal is used to heat, light and do lots of other things.
Non-renewable sources of electricity?
Five sources of non-renewable energy:CoalOilNatural gasNuclear (uranium)Rainforest timber
What can the electricity produced by a fruit battery be used for?
Future sources of electricity?
If renewable resources can be replaced why do we need to conserve them?
The wind and the sun and moving waters are all renewable energy sources. We really do not have to conserve them.At present much of our electricity is generated from fossil fuels, producing extra carbon dioxide emissions and causing global warming and climate change, so it is important to conserve electricity. Conserving electricity will reduce these harmful emissions.When all our energy is produced from renewable sources and we are no longer burning fossil fuels (some time in the future), then electricity will be cheaper (or completely free), and conserving electricity will not be as important.
What are the different types of electricity according to their sources?
Electricity produced from:Fossil power plants (Coal, natural gas, oil fueled power plants)Renewable power plants (solar, wind, biomass, ... )nuclear power plants
