1 Factors affecting the use of Non- Renewable Energy Resources

2 Energy Resources The advantages and disadvantages of renewable and non-renewable resources in relation to: Application to a particular use; Environmental impact; Future availability.

3 What is energy density? Order these from H – L energy density: Solar HEP Wood Fossil Fuels Nuclear fission Nuclear Fusion V High V Low Nuclear Fusion Solar Hydrogen Fossil Fuels Wood HEP Nuclear Fission

4 What are the advantages of using a fuel of higher energy density? Smaller quantities needed; User less dependent on fuel deliveries; Cheaper to transport

5 NON - RENEWABLES Primary Fuels “is an energy form found in nature that has not been subjected to any conversion or transformation process.”

6 NON – RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES Examples to illustrate their ease of use and therefore their likely use in the future: Finite Resources Ease of Storage Intermittency and Reliability Energy Density Amount of Available Resource Level of Technological Development Environmental Impacts Political and International Trade Problems Economic Issues
