- Types of Energy
- Non-renewable: Natural Gas (UK)
- Used for electricity, heating and cooking
- Most comes from under the North Sea. 60% comes from a pipeline from Norway
- Other energy sources will soon have to be found to replace gas when it runs out
- Renewable: Wind Power (USA)
- Wind turbines convert wind power into elctricity
- There are 16,000+ large turbines in California with many homes using smaller turbines
- In 2015, 6.9% of the total energy came from wind
- However, if there is no wind, then other renewables will have to be used to replace it
- Recyclable: Biogas (India)
- Organic matter (eg. wood and animal dung) is put into a pit and left to ferment
- The methane collected from the fermented matter is collected in a tank
- The methane is used as cookers in houses and in generators to produce electricity
- There over 2.5 million plants across India
- Non-renewable: Natural Gas (UK)
