NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
A nonrenewable resource is a natural

resource that cannot be replenished or
regenerated on a human time scale or
at a scale comparable to its consumption.
FOSSIL FUELS
These are nonrenewable sources of energy derived from the remains of
prehistoric plants and animals that died millions of years ago and were buried
under the right conditions to form fossils.

NUCLEAR ENERGY
What is it?
❖ Radiation is released from
the nuclei of metal atoms.
❖ The radiation can be used to
generate electricity.
❖ Even though it is a renewable

energy source it uses uranium which is a
non-renewable
resource.
COLLAPSE OF A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

The control unit of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant
in Morong, Bataan
Reasons for not operating as a source of energy:
❖ Issues on safety
❖ Technology use
❖ Presence of potential geologic hazards near active faults and volcanoes
❖ Occurrence of nuclear plant accidents
RENEWABLE RESOURCES
Renewable resources are
natural resources that can be
replenished in a short period of
time.
● Solar ● Geothermal
● Wind ● Biomass
● Water
What is it?
•Biomass, is a renewable energy source made of
biological material from
living, or recently living organisms.
•Energy is released by combustion
(burning).
•It is the oldest source of energy ever since
prehistoric man discovered fire.
Targeting Achievement of SDGs Contributing to Local Forestry and Combating Global Warming
❖ This refers to the movement of air caused by differences
in atmospheric pressure.
What is wind energy?

• Wind turbines are used to generate electricity from the wind.
• The wind turns the large blades and the blades turn a generator.
Wind farm
❖ These structures are built onshore in flat areas usually near
coastline which form a collection of wind turbines.
What is it?
• Solar power uses energy from the Sun.
• Solar panels transfer the Suns energy to
heat water.
• Solar panels transfer the Suns energy
directly into electricity.
Photovoltaic Cells
❖ This refers to the direct conversion of
light into electricity at the atomic level.
❖ A solar cell consists of semiconductor
materials made into thin sheets called Wafer
.
What is it?
• Rocks under the ground are hot.
• Water can be pumped through these
hot rocks and warmed up.

Hydropower
What is it?
• Flowing water is
used to turn a
turbine which
generates
electricity.
Head
❖ The difference in height between the
source and the water’s outflow.
❖ A tunnel or a large pipe where the
water flows.
❖ Turned by the force of the water on their blades.

Weirs
❖ A solid obstruction put
across river to raise its
water level and divert
water into canal (low
head structure)
Barage
❖ It is a dam built in the
tidal inlet and water is
allowed to enter during
high tide and the allowed to
be released during low tide.
Tidal Wave
• Waves force air in and out of a chamber.
• The air causes a turbine to generate electricity.
