  1. Solar energy By: Christopher Rogers

  2. How is solar energy used to produce electricity Form of solar cell or panel that will be used to absorb the sun's energy.

  3. Is it renewable or nonrenewable? renewable!

  4. How is it used to day ? • COOKING • WATER PASTEURIZATION • INTERIOR HEATING • ELECTRICITY GENERATION • INTERIOR COOLING

  5. Petroleum

  6. How is petroleum used to produce electricity? • Oil is burned in power-stations to produce heat. The heat boils water to make steam, which is used to turn the generators. 

  7. Is it renewable or nonrenewable? nonrenewable

  9. ProsOil is one of the most abundant energy resources Liquid form of oil makes it easy to transport and use Oil has high heating value Relatively inexpensive No new technology needed to useConsOil burning leads to carbon emissions Finite resources Oil recovery processes not efficient enough—technology needs to be developed to provide better yields Oil drilling endangers the environment and ecosystems Oil transportation (by ship) can lead to spills, causing environmental and ecological damage
