Hydroelectric dams, wind and tidal flow use a fluid directly to drive a turbine.
Other energy sources can also be used to heat water or some other fluid, sometimes to generate steam, to drive a turbine. These include biomass, coal, natural gas, petroleum (usually as oil or diesel) and waste (including methane from landfill), all of which involve burning, geothermal fields, nuclear fission, differences in ocean temperature, and the sun.
Solar photovoltaic panels convert light from the sun directly into electric current.
