Descriptions of Renewable Energy Resources

The different renewable energy resources, and a brief overview of how they produce energy.

Wind Energy

Energy generated from wind through turbines that convert kinetic energy into electrical power.

Solar Energy

Energy harnessed from sunlight using solar panels or photovoltaic cells.

Tidal Energy

Energy produced by the movement of tides, using underwater turbines or barrages to convert kinetic and potential energy into electricity.

Wave Energy

Energy generated from ocean waves, harnessed through various technologies to convert the motion of waves into electrical power.

Hydroelectric Energy

Energy produced from the flow of water, typically generated by dams or run-of-the-river systems to convert the kinetic energy of flowing water into electricity.

Biofuel

Energy produced from organic matter, including plant materials and animal waste, which can be used to generate electricity or as transportation fuel.

Geothermal

Energy derived from the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface, utilized for electricity generation and direct heating applications.
