WHAT IS GREEN ENERGY

GREEN ENERGY is the sustainable provision
of sustainable energy development that meets the
needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their needs.
Technologies that promote sustainable energy
include renewable energy sources, such
as hydroelectricity, solar energy, wind energy, wave
power, geothermal energy, bioenergy, tidal
power and also technologies designed to
improve energy efficiency.

TYPES OF GREEN
ENERGY
Solar energy
Hydro Power
Biomass
Geothermal Energy
Wind Energy

SOLAR ENERGY
Solar energy is
radiant light and heat from
the sun harnessed using a
range of ever-evolving
technologies such as solar
heating, solar
photovoltaics, solar
thermal electricity, solar
architecture and artificial
photosynthesis.

APPLICATIONS OF SOLAR
ENERGY

Architecture and urban planning

Agriculture and horticulture
Transport and reconnaissance
Solar thermal

Water heating
Heating, cooling and ventilation
Cooking

HYDRO POWER
Hydro-power or water power is power derived
from the energy of falling water and running
water, which may be harnessed for useful
purposes.

BIOMASS
Biomassisbiological
materialderived from living, or
recently living organisms. It most
often refers to plants or plantbased materials which are
specifically calledlingo cellulosic
biomass.
Conversion of biomass to biofuel can
be achieved by different methods
which are broadly classified
into:thermal,chemical,
andbiochemicalmethods.

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated
and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the
energy that determines the temperature of matter.
The geothermal energy of the
Earth's crust originates from the original formation
of the planet (20%) and from radioactive decay of
minerals (80%).
Geothermal power is cost effective, reliable,
sustainable, and environmentally friendly, but has
historically been limited to areas near tectonic
plate boundaries.

WIND ENERGY
Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a
useful form of energy, such as using wind turbines to
produce electrical power, windmills for mechanical
power, wind pumps for water pumping or drainage,
or sails to propel ships.
Large wind farms consist of hundreds of individual
wind turbines which are connected to the electric
power transmission network. For new constructions,
onshore wind is an inexpensive source of electricity,
competitive with or in many places cheaper than fossil
fuel plants.

ENERGY
CONSERVATION
Energy conservation refers to reducing
energy consumption through using less
of an energy service. Energy
conservation differs from efficient
energy use, which refers to using less
energy for a constant service.
Even though energy conservation
reduces energy services, it can result in
increased environmental quality, nation
al security, personal financial
security and higher savings. It lowers
energy costs by preventing future
resource depletion.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Efficient energy use, sometimes simply
called energy efficiency, is the goal to
reduce the amount of energy required to
provide products and services. For
example, insulating a home allows a
building to use less heating and cooling
energy to achieve and maintain a
comfortable temperature.
Installing fluorescent lights or
natural skylights reduces the amount of
energy required to attain the same level
of illumination compared with using
traditional incandescent light bulbs.
