Sustainable energy as an alternative option

Sustainable energy is an energy production, which run continuously to fulfill our needs without affecting the future needs. Renewable energy is an energy production which use different kinds of energy sources. `

Renewable Energy: –

* Solar Energy

* Wind Energy

* Wave power

* Geothermal Energy

* Hydroelectricity

* Biofuels and Biomass

Fossil fuel like natural gas, oil, coal is non-renewable resources.it has many disadvantages than advantages. Fossil fuel affects environment by creating pollution. Fossil fuels are finite resources, and it’s unsustainable. It affects animals, birds and people by pollution. So we need to find out the alternative options of fossil fuel.

So, here is some list of alternative options of renewable energy to replace fossil fuel.

Alternative options of Fossil fuels: –

* Geothermal Energy: – It is a thermal energy stored below the earth surface. It’s very popular, clean and renewable energy. It can be used for producing hot water for bathing and other purposes like cleaning instead of burning Coals and woods. It can also be used in industries and buildings to generate a power.

Benefits: – Low maintenance, cost effective, hygienic and durable, prevent air pollution.

* Wind power: – Wind Turbines like vertical and horizontal axis wind turbines can be used to produce wind energy as an alternative of submersible pumps and mechanical water pumps which consume Large amount of energy. It’s major contributors to wind power and commonly found in large groups known as wind farms. Wind power is one of the fastest growing energy sources in world.

Benefits: – Economical, improvement in quality of air, sustainable, cost effective

* Solar Power: – Solar power is best option to produce heat and light. Many types of techniques available for solar energy.

Two Types of Solar energy: – Active solar and passive solar

Active Solar: – It relies on external energy sources.it is used for cooling and pool heating. Solar photovoltaic energy converts sun light in to DC/AC power inverters.

Passive Solar: – It depends on the structure, design and buildings of home. It does not rely on external sources. It uses passive collectors to convert rays in to sunlight.

* Hydroelectricity: – Hydroelectric power can be generated from the running water of waterfalls and rivers with the help of turbine. Hydroelectric power is one of the most commonly used alternative option nowadays.

In conclusion, Sustainable energy has many benefits as an alternative option of unsustainable energy like fossil fuel. Renewable resources can be very helpful for Energy
production. It can improve our environment effectively. It can solve world’s one of the biggest problem of global warming. Most importantly it does not affect our future needs and providing best option for our current needs.
