Energy Resources

Energy Resources

Natural resources such as energy, water, and soil harnessed for sustainability.

Renewable Energy Sources

Energy resources that can be replaced naturally and include biomass, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and ocean energy.

Hydro Energy

Energy generated by utilizing the kinetic energy of flowing or falling water.

Ocean Power

Energy generated from waves, tides, and temperature fluctuations of ocean water.

Geothermal Energy

Energy derived from the heat stored within the Earth.

Biomass

Organic material that comes from plants and animals, used as a renewable energy source.

Solar Energy

Energy harnessed from the sun, which can be converted into electricity using solar cells.

Wind Energy

Energy produced by the movement of air, converted into electricity using wind turbines.

Nonrenewable Energy Sources

Energy sources that do not replenish within a human time frame, including coal, natural gas, and petroleum.

Coal Energy

Energy produced from burning coal, which is formed from sedimentary rock made up of organic materials.

Natural Gas

Fossil fuel composed mostly of methane, used for heating, cooking, and electricity generation.

Petroleum

A liquid fossil fuel formed from ancient microorganisms, used for transportation fuels.

Environmental Concerns

Issues related to the impact of energy production and consumption on the ecosystem and public health.

Hydraulic Fracturing

A method of extracting natural gas by drilling and injecting high-pressure fluid.

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC)

Utilizes temperature differences between surface and deep ocean water to generate energy.

Renewable Act of 2008

Philippine law promoting the development and utilization of renewable energy resources.

Flash Steam

A type of geothermal energy that utilizes high-pressure hot water to produce steam.

Kinetic Energy

Energy possessed by a body due to its motion, which can be harnessed for electricity generation.

Pollution Prevention

Strategies aimed at reducing or eliminating waste and emissions to protect environmental quality.

Carbon Footprint

The total greenhouse gas emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event, or product.
