PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Renewable resources provide energy in four important areas like : 1. Electricity generation 2. Water heating or cooling 3. Transportation or Mobility 4. Agriculture INTRODUCTION OF ENERGY Energy sources are the materials used to produce energy. ENERGY ENERGY ELECTRICAL ENERGY: Electrical energy is the energy associated with the movement of electric charges. It is a fundamental form of energy that powers our homes, businesses, and industries. Measurement of electrical energy: Electrical energy is measured using a watt-hour meter. This device records the total electrical energy consumed over a period of time. The reading on the watt-hour meter is typically expressed in kilowatt-hours. Example: If a light bulb uses 100 watts of power and is left on for 5 hours, the total energy consumed would be: 100 watts * 5 hours = 500 watt-hours = 0.5 kilowatt-hours APPLICATIONS OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY: Powering devices: Electrical Lighting: Electrical energy is energy is used to power a used to produce light through wide range of devices, from various technologies, such as smartphones and computers incandescent bulbs, to appliances and industrial fluorescent lamps, and LED machinery. lights. Heating and cooling: Transportation: Electric Electrical energy can be used vehicles and trains are to heat or cool buildings and powered by electrical energy. spaces. Communication: Electrical energy is essential for communication technologies, such as telephones, computers, and the internet. ELECTRICAL ENERGY GENERATION: Power plants: Electrical energy is generated in power plants through various methods, including: Thermal power plants: Burning fossil fuels to heat water and produce steam, which turns turbines to generate electricity. Hydroelectric power plants: Using the force of flowing water to turn turbines and generate electricity. Nuclear power plants: Using nuclear reactions to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam and generate electricity. Solar power plants: Converting sunlight into electricity using solar panels. Wind power plants: Using the force of wind to turn turbines and generate electricity. ENERGY SOURCES AND THEIR AVAILABILITY CLASSIFICATION Energy sources can be broadly classified into different categories: Conventional and Primary and Renewable and Non- non-conventional Secondary Energy Renewable. (renewable) energy Sources sources. RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES These sources are naturally replenished and can be used indefinitely without running out. Solar Energy: Solar Photovoltaic (PV) cells Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Wind Energy: Wind turbines Hydropower: Dams Tidal power Wave power Biomass: Wood Agricultural waste Biofuels Geothermal Energy: Geothermal power plants Ocean Energy: Tidal power NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES These sources are finite and will eventually be depleted. Fossil Fuels: Coal Oil Natural gas Nuclear Energy: Nuclear power plants Note: While nuclear energy is considered non-renewable due to the limited supply of uranium, it is often discussed separately due to its unique characteristics and environmental concerns. CONVENTIONAL AND NON-CONVENTIONAL (RENEWABLE) The two main categories of energy sources are conventional and non-conventional (renewable) energy sources. Conventional energy sources include fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) and nuclear energy, which have been the primary sources of energy for decades. These sources are finite and can have significant environmental impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions. Non-conventional or renewable energy sources include solar, wind, hydropower, biomass, geothermal, and ocean energy. These are naturally replenished and generally have a lower environmental impact. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CONVENTIONAL AND NON-CONVENTIONAL SOURCES Conventional sources of energy Non-conventional sources of energy These sources of energy are not abundant, present in These sources of energy are abundant in nature, e.g. solar limited quantity, e.g. coal, petroleum, natural gas. energy, wind energy, tidal energy, biogas from biomass etc. They have been in use for a long time.

Lower impact on ecosystems, but some challenges (e.g., Higher ecosystem disruption due to mining, drilling, and Impact on Ecosystems hydropower). waste (e.g., oil spills). PRIMARY AND SECONDARY ENERGY SOURCES Primary energy sources are those found in nature and extracted directly. They are the raw materials from which energy is obtained. Primary Energy Sources The energy sources which provide a net supply of energy are defined as Primary Sources. Examples are Coal, Oil, Natural Gas and Nuclear. The energy required to produce energy from these sources is very less as compared to the energy produced by them. Energy Yield Ratio of these sources is very high. Energy Yield Ratio is defined as the ratio of energy fed back by the material to the energy taken from the environment. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY ENERGY SOURCES Secondary energy sources are derived from primary energy sources through various processes. They are often more convenient or efficient to use than primary sources. Secondary Energy Sources Examples: Electricity: Produced from primary sources like coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind, and hydropower. Gasoline, Diesel, and Other Fuels: Derived from crude oil (a primary energy source). But due to low Energy Yield Ratio (as compared to the Primary Sources) they are not that efficient. In essence, primary energy sources are the raw materials, while secondary energy sources are the processed forms that we use in our daily lives. COMPARISON OR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY ENERGY SOURCES ENERGY SOURCES AND THEIR IMPORTANCE OR SIGNIFICANCE OF AVAILABILITY. Renewable Energy Sources Non-Renewable Energy Sources These sources are naturally replenished and can be These sources are finite and will used indefinitely without running out. eventually be depleted. Solar Energy: Derived from the sun's rays. Fossil Fuels: Coal, oil, natural gas Wind Energy: Generated by harnessing the power Nuclear Energy: Uranium of the wind. Hydropower: Produced by utilizing the energy of flowing water. Biomass: Derived from organic materials like plants, wood waste, and agricultural residues. Geothermal Energy: Generated by tapping into the heat from the Earth's interior. Ocean Energy: Harnessing the energy from tides and waves. ENERGY SOURCES AND THEIR IMPORTANCE OR SIGNIFICANCE OF AVAILABILITY. Renewable energy sources are generally abundant and widely available, but their availability can vary depending on geographic location and weather conditions. For example, solar and wind energy are more abundant in regions with high levels of sunlight and wind. Non-renewable energy sources are limited in supply and are concentrated in certain regions of the world. For example, the Middle East is a major source of oil and natural gas. ENERGY SOURCES AND THEIR IMPORTANCE OR SIGNIFICANCE OF AVAILABILITY. The availability of energy sources is crucial for several reasons: Economic Development: Energy is a fundamental input for economic growth. Industries, transportation, and other sectors rely heavily on energy to function. A reliable and affordable energy supply is essential for attracting investment, creating jobs, and improving living standards. Energy Security: A nation's energy security is its ability to meet its energy needs reliably and affordably. Dependence on foreign energy sources can make a country vulnerable to geopolitical risks and price fluctuations. Having access to diverse energy sources can help ensure energy security. Environmental Impact: The choice of energy sources significantly impacts the environment. Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, have a lower environmental footprint compared to fossil fuels, which contribute to climate change, air pollution, and water pollution. Quality of Life: Access to energy is essential for basic human needs like cooking, heating, and lighting. It also enables access to essential services like healthcare and education. A reliable energy supply improves the quality of life for individuals and communities. Technological Advancement: Energy is a key driver of technological innovation. The availability of energy has enabled advancements in transportation, communication, and other sectors. A secure and affordable energy supply is essential for continued technological progress. ENERGY SOURCES AND THEIR AVAILABILITY: GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION AND AVAILABILITY Global Distribution and Availability: Renewable energy sources, on the other hand, are Fossil fuels are unevenly distributed, with more evenly distributed across the globe. For significant reserves concentrated in specific instance, solar energy is abundant in regions close regions such as the Middle East (oil), Russia to the equator, wind energy is prevalent in coastal (natural gas), and the United States and China and open plains, and geothermal energy is (coal). concentrated in tectonically active areas. This uneven distribution often leads to geopolitical tensions and energy security concerns. RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES Renewable energy is the energy derived from natural sources that replenish themselves over a short period of time. These sources are naturally replenished and can be used indefinitely without running out. Unlike non-renewable resources like fossil fuels, renewable energy sources are virtually inexhaustible. Here are examples of renewable energy sources: Solar energy: This is derived from the sun's rays and can be converted into electricity using solar photovoltaic (PV) cells or concentrated solar power (CSP) technology. Wind energy: This is generated by harnessing the power of the wind through wind turbines. Hydropower: This is produced by utilizing the energy of flowing water to turn turbines. Biomass: This refers to the energy derived from organic materials like plants, wood waste, and agricultural residues. Geothermal energy: This is generated by tapping into the heat from the Earth's interior. Ocean Energy: Ocean energy is a form of renewable energy that harnesses the power of the ocean's tides, waves, and currents. It offers a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES ✓ This is the energy acquired from never ending sources of energy available in nature. ✓ The main feature of this is, it can be extracted without causing pollution. ✓ Example Solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy SOLAR ENERGY: Solar energy is harnessed through photovoltaic (PV) cells, which convert sunlight directly into electricity, and concentrated solar power (CSP) systems, which use mirrors or lenses to focus sunlight and generate thermal energy. Solar energy is a key renewable resource, especially in regions with high solar insolation. Recent technological advancements have significantly reduced the cost of solar PV, making it increasingly competitive with conventional energy sources. SOLAR ENERGY ✓ Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic's (PV), indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination. WIND ENERGY: Wind energy is captured using wind turbines that convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electricity. Wind farms can be located onshore or offshore, with offshore wind farms benefiting from stronger and more consistent winds but at a higher cost. Countries like Denmark and the United Kingdom have successfully integrated wind energy into their national grids. WIND ENERGY ✓ A wind mill converts the kinetic energy of moving air into mechanical energy that can be either Average wind speed 25 km/h used directly to run the machine (or) the Wind turbine speed 10 and 20 revolutions per minute Types based on Technology Vertical axis & Horizontal Axis generator to produce Type of electricity AC electricity. Type of generator Induction generator ✓ lifespan of wind Typical parts Rotor, gearbox, direct drive turbine, turbines is about 20 to generator Protect the turbine wheel against Stop operation (such as feathering 25 years. damage at very high wind the velocities blades) at cut out velocity HYDROPOWER: Hydropower generates electricity by using the energy of flowing water, typically through dams. While large-scale hydropower is a significant source of renewable energy, it can have substantial environmental and social impacts, such as ecosystem disruption and the displacement of communities. Small-scale hydropower offers a more sustainable alternative with fewer environmental concerns. GEOTHERMAL ENERGY: Geothermal energy exploits the heat from the Earth's interior to generate electricity or provide direct heating. It is a reliable and consistent energy source, particularly in regions with high geothermal activity, such as Iceland and parts of the United States. However, its availability is geographically limited, and there are concerns about induced seismicity (earthquakes) in some areas. GEOTHERMAL ENERGY ✓ Geothermal energy is heat derived within the sub-surface of the earth. Water and/or steam carry the geothermal energy to the Earth's surface. ✓ Depending on its characteristics, geothermal energy can be used for heating and cooling purposes or be harnessed to generate clean electricity. OCEAN ENERGY OCEAN ENERGY: Ocean energy includes tidal, wave, and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). Tidal energy harnesses the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans, while wave energy captures the energy of surface waves. OTEC exploits the temperature difference between warmer surface water and colder deep water to generate electricity. These technologies hold significant potential for coastal regions. BIOMASS ENERGY: Biomass energy is produced from organic materials such as wood, agricultural residues, and animal waste. It can be converted into electricity, heat, or biofuels through various processes, including combustion, gasification, and anaerobic digestion. Biomass is a versatile energy source, but its sustainability depends on how the biomass is sourced and managed. EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES: Other promising technologies include hydrogen fuel cells, which produce electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, and algae- based biofuels, which could offer a sustainable alternative to traditional biofuels without competing with food production. PROSPECTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES : ECONOMIC & ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydropower generate electricity without emitting CO2, helping to mitigate climate change. Lower Air Pollution: Unlike fossil fuels, renewables do not produce harmful pollutants like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), improving air quality and public health. Energy Independence: Reducing reliance on fossil fuels can enhance energy security and reduce dependence on foreign energy sources. Reduced Energy Costs: Over time, renewable energy can become more cost-competitive with traditional energy sources, leading to lower energy costs for consumers. Conservation of Water Resources: Renewable energy technologies like wind and solar require minimal water for operation, conserving freshwater resources compared to water-intensive fossil fuel power plants. Biodiversity Protection: By reducing habitat destruction and pollution associated with fossil fuel extraction and use, renewable energy can help protect ecosystems and biodiversity. These benefits underscore the importance of the global transition to renewable energy as a key strategy for sustainable development and environmental protection. PROSPECTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES PROSPECTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES Technological Advancements Economic Viability Policy Support and Global Barriers to Adoption Initiatives PROSPECTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES PROSPECTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES Technological Advancements: Continuous improvements in technology are driving down the costs of renewable energy sources and increasing their efficiency. For example, advancements in solar PV technology have led to more efficient panels with lower production costs, while innovations in wind turbine design have resulted in larger, more efficient turbines that can generate more electricity. PROSPECTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES Economic Viability: Economic Viability: Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly cost- competitive with conventional energy sources.

DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: Developed countries tend to have higher per capita energy consumption, but their energy demand is stabilizing or even declining due to improvements in energy efficiency. In contrast, developing countries are experiencing rapid growth in energy consumption as they industrialize and urbanize. This presents both opportunities and challenges for integrating renewable energy into their energy systems. ROLE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY IN ALTERING CONSUMPTION PATTERNS: Role of Renewable Energy in Altering Consumption Patterns: The increasing adoption of renewable energy is starting to shift consumption patterns, particularly in the electricity sector. For example, the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is gradually reducing the demand for petroleum in the transport sector, while decentralized energy systems like rooftop solar are changing how electricity is generated and consumed at the residential level. These changes are helping to decouple economic growth from fossil fuel consumption. ENERGY EFFICIENCY Energy efficiency refers to the practice of using less energy to perform the same task, thereby reducing energy waste. It is a critical component of a sustainable energy strategy, as it helps to reduce overall energy demand, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance energy security. Energy efficiency is often referred to as the “first fuel” because it can provide significant energy savings at a lower cost than generating new energy. ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF LED LIGHT BULBS LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs are significantly more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs. This means they use less electricity to produce the same amount of light. Example: Let's say you have a 60-watt incandescent light bulb, it emits about 800 lumens of light and want to replace it with an LED bulb that produces the same amount of light. A typical 60-watt equivalent LED bulb actually uses only about 8-10 watts of power. Incandescent bulb: 60 watts LED bulb: 8-10 watts So, by switching to the LED bulb, you're using 85-87.5% less energy. This reduction in energy consumption can lead to significant savings on your electricity bill and a smaller environmental impact.

Energy Conservation Building Codes IMPACT OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES ENERGY SECURITY Energy security is the ability to ensure a reliable and affordable supply of energy to meet the needs of a country’s population and economy. It encompasses both the availability of energy resources and the stability of energy supply, which can be threatened by factors such as geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters, and market fluctuations. It's important because it ensures economic stability, national security, and the well- being of citizens. HOW RENEWABLE ENERGY ENHANCES ENERGY SECURITY: Renewable energy sources, which are locally available and not subject to international market fluctuations, can enhance energy security by diversifying the energy mix and reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels. For example, countries like Germany and Denmark have increased their energy security by transitioning from imported fossil fuels to domestically produced renewable energy. Additionally, decentralized energy systems, such as microgrids and distributed generation, can improve resilience against grid failures and natural disasters.

The environmental problems directly related to energy production and consumption includes air pollution, water pollution, thermal pollution, and solid waste disposal. The emission of air pollutants from fossil fuel combustion is the major cause of urban air pollution. ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT ENERGY AND ITS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Fossil fuels have Environmental Costs of significant Fossil Fuels: environmental costs, including air and water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, habitat destruction, and health impacts. ENERGY AND ITS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS Benefits of Renewable Energy for the Environment: Renewable energy sources have far lower environmental impacts compared to fossil fuels. Solar, wind, and hydropower generate electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants. Biomass energy can be carbon-neutral if managed sustainably. Geothermal energy has a small environmental footprint, and ocean energy has minimal emissions. By replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air and water quality, and protect ecosystems and biodiversity. KYOTO PROTOCOL The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty which extended the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, based on the scientific consensus that global warming is occurring and that human-made CO2 emissions are driving it. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005. There were 192 parties (Canada withdrew from the protocol, effective December 2012)to the Protocol in 2020. KYOTO PROTOCOL The Kyoto Protocol implemented the objective of the UNFCCC to reduce the onset of global warming by reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere to "a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system" (Article 2). The main goal of the Kyoto Protocol was to control emissions of the main anthropogenic (human-emitted) greenhouse gases (GHGs) in ways that reflect underlying national differences in GHG emissions, wealth, and capacity to make the reductions The Kyoto Protocol applied to the seven greenhouse gases listed in Annex A: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), nitrogen trifluoride (NF3). Nitrogen trifluoride was added for the second compliance period during the Doha Round. KYOTO PROTOCOL KYOTO PROTOCOL flexibility mechanisms The Kyoto Protocol defines three "flexibility mechanisms" that can be used by Annex I Parties in meeting their emission limitation commitments. Clean Development Mechanism The flexibility mechanisms are International Emissions Trading (IET), the Clean Development Clean Development Mechanism Joint Implementation Mechanism (CDM), and Joint Implementation (JI). The CDM and JI are called "project-based mechanisms", in that they generate emission reductions from projects. The difference between IET and the project-based mechanisms is that IET is based on the setting of a quantitative restriction of emissions, while the CDM and JI are based on the idea of "production" of emission reductions. The CDM is designed to encourage production of emission reductions in non-Annex I Parties, while JI encourages production of emission reductions in Annex I Parties.
