What are clean energies?
Clean energies are an energy in full development that are linked
to the current concern to preserve the environment and the crisis
of exhaustible energies. Without any pollution and waste, clean
energies and renewable energies have differences , as we will see
below.
01
Types of

energies
 Photovoltaic Energy
It is obtained when sunlight is converted into

electricity using a technology based on the

photoelectric effect.

Energia Fotovoltaica
It is obtained by transforming the kinetic

energy of the wind into electricity.

 Hydroelectric Power

It harnesses the force of water falling down

a waterfall or gradient to produce electricity.

Green Hydrogen Energy

It uses electric current to separate the

hydrogen from the oxygen in water.

 Biomass Energy
It produces electricity through the combustion of

organic matter from nature or organic waste from

human activities.

Geothermal Energy
It makes use of the heat radiating from the centre

of the Earth by means of plants located in

deposits.
 Tidal Energy
Converts tidal power into electricity.

Nuclear Energy
This energy is obtained in two ways, by

nuclear fusion and fission.

Advantages and

Disavantages
 They will never run out
They do not produce greenhouse gases
They pose fewer risks than nuclear power
They allow the creation of new jobs
Reduce CO2 emissions
Reduce our society's energy dependency on
fossil fuels
Advantages They offer energy autonomy to a country
 High investment costs and appropriate
infrastructure
Negative visual impacts on the environment

Disadvantages the various types of energy
03
Why invest in them?
Why do local authorities

invest in them?
Why do local entities invest in this

type of energy?
The authorities are betting on these energies
because they are more sustainable and
although they are more expensive than
others, they are more worthwhile.
Would it benefit if there were

other types of renewable energy

in our area?
Yes because the more sustainable and
renewable energies are the better for the
environment.
