1 Energy Sources

2 Non-renewable?

3 Non-renewable Finite (being depleted – will run out) In general from a form of potential energy released by human action

4 Fossil fuels – Coal, oil, gas

5 Nuclear fuels

6 Renewable?

7 Renewable Will not run out (in the near future) Mostly directly or indirectly linked with the sun (the exception is tidal energy)

8 Photovoltaic cells

9 Active solar devices

10 Wind

11 Wave

12 Tidal

13 Biomass

14 World energy production Fuel% total energy production CO 2 emission g.MJ -1 Oil4070 Natural gas2350 Coal2390 Nuclear7- Hydroelectric7- Others< 1-

15 Energy Density

16 The energy that can be obtained from a unit mass of the fuel J.kg -1 If the fuel is burnt the energy density is simply the heat of combustion

17 Energy density Coal - 30 MJ.kg -1 Wood - 16 MJ.kg -1 Gasoline – 47 MJ.kg -1 Uranium – 7 x 10 4 GJ.kg -1 (70000000 MJ.kg -1 )
