Renewable Energy Sources
o Energy from non-fossil sources; wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower, biomass,
landfill gas, sewage treatment gas and biogases (EC Directive 2009/28);
o Use for electricity, heat and transportation
o Renewable sources can replenish in time through biological reproduction or other
naturally occuring processes
Solar power
o Solar photovoltaics (PV) - electricity
o Solar thermal – heating (hot water, space heating)
Wind power
o Conversion of kinetic wind energy into electrical power
o Renewable, clean, produces zero emissions
o Smaller environmental impact compared with fossil fuels
Hydropower
o Most widely used form of renewable energy
o Small hydro (< 10 MW)
o Emissions low, variable environmental impact
Geothermal energy
o Power generated using steam produced by heat
from the molten core of the Earth
Biomass
o Most complex renewable source due to different energy sources and
technologies of conversion
o Organic materials used as renewable energy sources – wood, crops,
waste
o Producing heat, electricity and mechanical energy (biofuels)
o Thermal, chemical or biochemical conversion
o Final products are biomass derivatives such as wood pellets,
briquettes, biogas etc.
Wood and wood residues
Industrial waste
Fishery and aquaculture
