Renewable Energy is energy produced from resources that are regenerative and all practical purposes cannot be depleted. Sources such sunlight and the wind, can never be exhausted and for that reason called renewable. They cause fewer emissions and are available locally. Their use can, to some large extent, reduce chemical, radioactive and thermal pollution. They're a viable supply of clean and limitless energy. These are the basic non-conventional sources of energy. The majority of the renewable sources of energy are fairly non-polluting and considered clean except for biomass, a renewable source, is a major polluter indoors.

Reasons for renewable energy or non-conventional energy are the sun, wind, agricultural residue, firewood and animal dung. Energy generated from the sun is known as solar power. Energy derived from water is known as hydroelectricity. Biomass is firewood, animal dung, biodegradable waste from cities and crop residue. It might be a source of energy when it's burnt. Geothermal energy is energy produced from hot, dry rocks, magma, warm water springs and natural geysers. Ocean thermal is energy produced from waves and tidal waves.

Solar Power

With regards to renewable energy, the most powerful and useful may be the sun. The sun is available from sunrise to sunset and produces an unimaginable level of energy each and everyday. What solar collectors do is always to harness the energy from the sun in the form of radiation to be usable forms of energy including heat and electricity, Solar cells in particular converts the sun's energy into electricity. With technology being so advanced, cells are taken to a fresh level. There are motorhomes, cell phones and cars.

Solar Heat

Solar heating systems depend on a source of bright light, a surface or liquid that may absorb light along with a storage device for the resulting heat generated. A greenhouse is a good example of this effect. Solar heat is certainly the cheapest and most practical form of renewable energy in the world. Some practical uses are water heaters, ovens, cookers and home heating.

Green Living - Wind Energy

From times long, way back when, sailing ships been dependent on the energy of the wind depict oceans. Likewise wind energy have also been used to work windmills for pumping water. Today, wind power has been used as a clean electrical source around the world. Wind farms, because they are often called can provide enough electricity for a large number of homes at a time. The power of wind is used to show turbines, which in turn is linked to an electrical generator and the gearbox inside the generator converts the power of the spinning turbine into electricity.

Water Power

Hundreds of years ago, waterwheels were used to offer power for grain mills and lumber cutting. Hydroelectricity, because it is called today, produces over 60% from the electricity in Canada and 60% in america.
