Alternative Energy

Alternative energy is a term that refers to
methods of generating energy that are not
the usual method.

Nuclear Fission
Bio-Fuels
 Bio-fuel is defined as solid, liquid or
gaseous fuel obtained from relatively
recently lifeless or living biological
material.
Solar Energy
Solar energy is the radiant light and
heat from the Sun that has been
harnessed by humans since ancient
times using a range of ever-evolving
technologies.
Wind Energy

Wind power is the conversion of wind
energy into a useful form of energy, such
as electricity, using wind turbines.
Hydro-electric
• Hydroelectricity is electricity generated by
hydropower. For example, the production of
power through use of the gravitational force of
falling or flowing water.
Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels are fuels formed by natural
resources such as anaerobic decomposition
of buried dead organisms.
Nuclear Power

Nuclear power is any nuclear technology
designed to extract usable energy from
atomic nuclei via controlled nuclear
reactions.
Chemical Energy
 Chemical thermodynamics is the study
of the interrelation of heat and work with
chemical reactions or with physical
changes of state within the confines of
the laws of thermodynamics.
Wave Power
 Wave power is the transport of energy by
ocean surface waves, and the capture of
that energy to do useful work — for
example for electricity generation, water
desalination, or the pumping of water (into
reservoirs).
Tidal Power
 Tidal power, sometimes called tidal
energy, is a form of hydropower that
converts the energy of tides into electricity
or other useful forms of power.
Nuclear Fission
 In nuclear physics and nuclear
chemistry, nuclear fission is a
nuclear reaction in which the nucleus
of an atom splits into smaller parts,
often producing free neutrons and
lighter nuclei, which may eventually
produce photons (in the form of
gamma rays).
