Non-Conventional Sources of

Energy
These energy sources, often called renewable
energy, are becoming increasingly important as the
world transitions away from fossil fuels. They offer a
sustainable and environmentally friendly way to
meet our energy needs.
Examples-solar energy, nuclear energy,etc..
TH
Solar Energy
1 Harnessing the Sun 2 Photovoltaic Cells
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into These cells use the photovoltaic effect to
electricity. generate electricity directly from sunlight.

3 Sustainable Option 4 Environmental Benefits


Solar energy is a renewable source, meaning it It reduces greenhouse gas emissions and pollution.
can be replenished naturally.
Energy from the Sea
Wave Energy Tidal Energy Ocean Thermal Energy
Conversion (OTEC)
Harnessing the power of ocean Utilizing the rise and fall of tides
waves to generate electricity. to generate electricity. Generating electricity from the
temperature difference between
warm surface water and cold
deep water.
Geothermal Energy
1 Heat from the Earth
Harnessing the heat from the Earth's interior to
generate electricity.

2 Drilling Wells
Wells are drilled deep into the Earth to access
geothermal resources.

3 Power Generation
The heat is used to create steam, which drives
turbines and generates electricity.
Nuclear Energy
Nuclear Fission High Energy Output
The process of splitting Nuclear power plants
atoms to release energy. generate large amounts
of electricity with
relatively small amounts
of fuel.

Safety Concerns Long-Term Storage


Nuclear accidents can Radioactive waste must
have devastating be stored securely for
consequences and the thousands of years.
disposal of radioactive
waste is a significant
challenge.
