Slide 2 - Slide

Goals of last lessons

You can explain how 5 different types of sustainable energy work.
You can explain the what the energy transition means.
You can explain what the energy transition involves for the Netherlands.

Slide 3 - Slide

C3.2: ENERGY OF THE FUTURE

Slide 4 - Slide

ENERGY TRANSITION

The shift from using fossil fuels to using sustainable sources.

Slide 5 - Slide

Think:

What are the 5 sustainable energy sources and

how do they work?

Slide 6 - Slide

5 sustainable energy sources

Slide 7 - Open question

SOLAR ENERGY

Electricity generated sustainably using solar penals.

You can also use the sun to heat water.

Slide 8 - Slide

WIND ENERGY

Electricity generated sustainably using wind turbines.

Slide 9 - Slide

HYDRO-ELECTRICITY

Sustainable energy that is generated using falling water.

Slide 10 - Slide

BIOMASS

Organic materials such as vegetable oils, wood and biodegredable waste (vegetables, fruit and garden waste).

Slide 11 - Slide

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

Sustainable energy from the natural heat deep inside the Earth.

"Earth heat"

Slide 12 - Slide

USE FIGURE 8 & 10

5 The level of carbon dioxide does not change: CO2 is created when wood is burned. The CO2 is absorbed by trees; the wood from the trees is used to generate energy.

6 a Oil palms for biofuels instead of tropical rainforest.

b Large areas of tropical rainforest were removed for cultivation of oil palms, a loss of nature areas.
