- Solar-Derived Energy Resources - Biofuels
- Solar energy that was captured by plants during photosynthesis is stored as chemical energy, which can be used as fuel.
- Waste materials from other activities can be used as sources of energy...
- Crop wastes such as straw can be burned to heat buildings. In LEDCs crop waste is used for cooking
- Forestry wastes can be shredded and burned in furnaces for electricity generation
- Combustible domestoc and industrial wastes can be incinerated to generate electricity. Waste heat from the incinerator can be used to heat water or to heat local buildings
- Anaerobic bacterial digestion of sewage and dung produces methane that can be burned as a fuel for heating and cooking or to generate electricity
- Landfill sites that contain organic wastes will also produce methane by the action of anaerobic bacteria
- Energy crops may be deliberately grown for their energy value...
