Nuclear power

  • A non-renewable energy source that comes from the nucleus of atoms 
  • Nuclear power plants use enriched uranium as fuel to produce electricity 
  • Nuclear energy is produced through fission, when atoms split, or fusion, when atoms fuse together 

Hydroelectric power 

  • A sustainable energy source that uses the energy of moving water to generate electricity
  • Also known as water power, hydroelectric power has been used for thousands of years
  • Hydroelectric power plants convert the kinetic or gravitational energy of water into electricity

Tidal energy

  • A renewable energy source that uses the energy of ocean tides and currents 
  • Tidal energy is produced by the rise and fall of tides, which is caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth, the sun, and the moon 
  • Tidal energy can be harvested using turbines and paddles 

Biomass energy 

  • A renewable energy source that uses matter from recently living organisms, such as wood, agricultural residues, and organic waste
  • Biomass energy can reduce reliance on fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, and coal
  • Biomass energy has the potential to be carbon neutral.
