 WHAT'S COAL?

• Non-renewable resource

• A sedimentary rock that burns

• Used for generating electricity, industrial processes

• Such as heating homes and buildings

• Cooking and other domestic purposes

 TYPES OF COAL

• Based on their carbon content,

energy value
• Peat

• Lignite Fig: Bitumnous

• Bituminous

• Anthracite coal

Fig: Types of Coal

Fig: Peat
PEAT

• Earliest stage of coal formation

• Low carbon content, Fig: A Lump of Peat

• Contains less than 40 to 55 percent carbon

• Uses; electricity generation, absorb oil and fuel spills on land & water

Fig: U.S. Geological Survey

 LIGNITE
• Formed from compress peat

• Called the brown coal

• Early state of coal formation

Fig: LIGNITE Coal

• Low ranking and high volatile

• Carbon content 40-55%

• Uses; used primarily power in generation

BITUMINOUS

• Dense black sedimentary rocks

• Carbon content 40-80%

• Moisture 15-40%
Fig: Bituminous Fig: Bituminous coal (Pikeville
Formation, Middle
Pennsylvanian, Kentucky, USA)
ANTHRACITE COAL
• High carbon content and
impurities

• Best quality ;hard coal Fig: Anthracite from Bay

City, Michigan
• 80 to95 percent carbon

• Semi-metallic lustre

• Lignites slowly=less loss of heat

=highly efficient
Fig: Anthracite Coal
86–97% carbon

 What is Nuclear ENERGY?

• Nuclear energy is the energy that is released during a nuclear

reaction,
either by nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.
• Nuclear fission is the process in which a nucleus is split into
two smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form
of heat and light.
Example, Uranium
• Nuclear fusion is the process in which two atomic nuclei come
together
to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy in the process.
• Nuclear energy has several advantages and disadvantages

** Nuclear energy, for example, results in 99.9% fewer deaths than

brown coal; 99.8% fewer than Fig: Nuclear Power Plant
coal;
WHAT IS NUCLEAR ENERGY?
• From an atomic nucleus
• Either a via a fission or fusion reaction
• A heavy nucleus (like uranium-235)is split apart into smaller
nuclei and energy is released
• Nuclear fission is the process in which a nucleus is
split into two smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of
energy in the form of heat and light.
• Nuclear fusion is the process in which two atomic
nuclei come together
• To form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy in the process

ADVANTAGES OF NUCLEAR
ENERGY

• oldest low carbon energy

• To produce electricity and one of the
smallest carbon footprints
• Reliable and cost effective
• Nuclear fuel can produce a large amount of
energy
• Nuclear power plants need less fuel than fossil
fuel
• Spurred in technology advancement like this in
many fields, including materials science
,chemistry and physics
DISADVANTAGES OF NUCLEAR
ENERGY

RADIOACTIVE WASTE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARMS THE AQUATIC
LIFE, KILLING OF SPECIES

NUCLEAR POWER YIELDS MINING OF URANIUM for Nuclear Energy
TOXIC WASTE CAN BE DANGEROUS
Chemical Energy
• Form of potential energy

• Stored within the chemical bonds of molecules

Real World Sources Of Chemical Energy
• There are many sources of chemical energy.
• Found in many energy-rich molecules on earth.
• Here are a few
• Fossil fuels
• Food
• Burning Wood
• Gasoline
• Batteries
• Biomass
Food And Fossil Fuels
• Stored in the chemical bonds of molecules

• Good digestion and stimulation for our body

• Can be used physical activities and cellular processes

Batteries And Biomass
• Consist of cathode and anode
Advantages & Disadvantages Of Chemical
Energy
• High energy density
• Easily transportable
• Versatility

• Environmental impact
• Safety concerns
Disadvantages Of Chemical Energy
Solar Power
• Solar energy is radiant light and heat
from the Sun that is harnessed using
a range of technologies such as solar
power to generate electricity, solar
thermal energy, and solar
architecture.
• (Fun Fact)China Use the most Solar
Energy 392 GW. The country is the
largest producer of solar energy in
the world.
• The solar power is used by humans
as early as 7th century B.C.
Purpose of Solor
Power
• solar power can be for electricity, passive
solar design for space heating and cooling,
and solar water heating.
• Businesses and industry use solar
technologies to diversify their energy
sources, improve efficiency, and save
money.
• solar energy has an important role in
reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
mitigating climate change
Wind Energy
• Converting of wind power to electrical power

• Renewable and source of energy

How Does It Work?
• Wind blows over the blades causing them to evolve

• The kinetic energy is transformed into mechanical energy

• Electricity flows down the shafts

• Electricity can be stored or transported to grid for distribution

Advantages Of Wind Energy

• Abundant and inexhaustible resource

• No air pollution or greenhouse gas emissions

• Reduces dependence on foreign energy sources

• Cost effective & No fuel costs

• Job creation

• Extremely efficient use of the lands

Disadvantages Of Wind Energy
• Requires a lot of space and loud noise

• Windmills are huge

• Can spoil the landscape

• Can't be utilized all the time

• can kills birds migrating

What's Nuclear Energy?
• Made in power plants

• By splitting the nuclei of heavy atoms

• Such as uranium

• Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fussion

• Nuclear fission releases a large amount of energy

Advantages Of Nuclear Energy
• One of the most low-carbon energy source

• Reliable power

• Clean source of energy: Without polluting the air

• Lower Greenhouse gas emissions

Disadvantages Of Nuclear Energy
• Impact on human life

• Radioactive waste

• High cost

• Environmental Impact
