Biomass Energy - National Geographic Society Biomass is a clean, renewable energy source Its initial energy comes from the sun, and plants or algae biomass can regrow in a relatively short amount of time
Nonrenewable Energy - Education Biomass feedstocks can include crops such as corn or soy, as well as wood If people do not replant biomass feedstocks as fast as they use them, biomass energy becomes a nonrenewable energy source
Renewable Resources - National Geographic Society Renewable resources include biomass energy (such as ethanol), hydropower, geothermal power, wind energy, and solar energy Biomass refers to organic material from plants or animals
Renewable Energy Explained - Education Biomass: Biomass energy includes biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, wood, wood waste, biogas from landfills, and municipal solid waste Like solar power, biomass is a flexible energy source, able to fuel vehicles, heat buildings, and produce electricity
Renewable Energy - Education Biomass energy can also be a nonrenewable energy source Biomass energy relies on biomass feedstocks—plants that are processed and burned to create electricity
Resource Types - Education Resources are characterized as renewable or nonrenewable; a renewable resource can replenish itself at the rate it is used, while a nonrenewable resource has a limited supply Renewable resources include timber, wind, and solar while nonrenewable resources include coal and natural gas
Electricity Generation from Renewable Energy - Education In 2010, biomass made up about 7% of the country's electricity generation from renewable energy Because biomass energy comes from any usable organic matter, it is available almost anywhere
Geothermal Energy - National Geographic Society Geothermal energy is renewable; it is not a fossil fuel that will be eventually used up Earth is continuously radiating heat out from its core, and will continue to do so for billions of years
Coal - National Geographic Society Coal is a nonrenewable fossil fuel that is combusted and used to generate electricity Mining techniques and combustion are both dangerous to miners and hazardous to the environment; however, coal accounts for about half of the electricity generation in the United States
