Renewable Energy
Renewable Energy is energy generated from natural resources—such as
sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat—which are renewable. In
2006, about 18% of global final energy consumption came from renewables,
with 13% coming from traditional biomass, such as wood-burning.
Hydroelectricity was the next largest renewable source, providing 3%
(15% of global electricity generation), followed by solar hot
water/heating, which contributed 1.3%. Modern technologies, such as
geothermal energy, wind power, solar power, and ocean energy together
provided some 0.8% of final energy consumption.
Renewable Energy Technologies are in following categories:
- Water Power
- Wind Power
- Solar Power
- Biofuel ( liquid
biofuel, solid biomass, biogas )
-
Geothermal Energy
As we promote Work at home jobs we also like to give
special attention to Renewable Energy programs that is quietly changing
the traditional ways of our total dependence on petro oil.
The majority of renewable energy technologies are
powered by the sun. The Earth-Atmosphere system is in equilibrium such
that heat radiation into space is equal to incoming solar rediation, the
resulting level of energy within the Earth-Atmosphere system can
roughly be described as the Earth's "climate." The hydrosphere (water)
absorbs a major fraction of the incoming radiation. Most radiation is
absorbed at low latitudes around the equator, but this energy is
dissipated around the globe in the form of winds and ocean currents.
Wave motion may play a role in the process of transferring mechanical
energy between the atmosphere and the ocean through wind stress. Solar
energy is also responsible for the distribution of precipitation which
is tapped by hydroelectric projects, and for the growth of plants used
to create biofuels.
