Energy is the capacity and ability to

do work while resource refers to

any item which is used
 RENEWABLE RESOURCES
•Also called as exhaustible source of
energy.

 The primary source of energy derived from
prehistoric plants and animals that died million
years ago which also supports various human and
industrial activities.

•A group of energy sources that were formed

ancient plant and organisms during
Carboniferous Period (360 to 286 million years ago).
•Different types of fossil fuels formed depending
on the combination of the organic matter,
temperature time, and pressure conditions while
decomposing
•Coal is a black combustible rock
made up of elemental carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and
varying amounts of sulfur.
•Coal was formed from fern plants and
trees which hardened due to pressure
and heat.
•considered to be the precursor
of coal, formed from decaying
vegetation.
 referred to as brown coal, formed from
compressed peat
 formed from compressed
lignite, coals are a dense,
usually black in color but
sometimes can be dark
brown. Widely used in the
manufacturing of
briquettes, used in power
stations, foe heat and
power applications, and to
make coke.
 highest rank of ignitable
coal; it is hard, black and
glossy; used primarily for
residential and
commercial space heating.
Anthracite is the main
source of manufactured
fuels and provides a good
heat output, and long
burning times.
 the technically highest
rank of coal. Graphite is
difficult to ignite and is
rarely used as a fuel . It is
mostly used in pencils
and as a lubricant in its
powdered form.
 comes from the Latin word petra which means
“rock:, and oleum which means “oil”.

 formed from small organisms like zoo plankton

and algae where pressure caused the more
complex organic matter to decompose. Organic
molecules will turn into hydrocarbons through the
process called catagenesis.

Hydrocarbons are complex organic molecules that

consist of chains of hydrogen and carbon.
 A clean energy resource found in association with or
without petroleum.

 used as a source of energy as well as an industrial raw

material in the petrochemical industry.

 considered an environment friendly fuel because of

low carbon dioxide emissions and is, therefore, the
fuel for the present century.
 is energy from sources that are naturally
replenishing but flow-limited. They are
virtually inexhaustible in duration but limited
in the amount of energy that is available per
unit of time.
 Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth. It's
clean and sustainable.
Resources of geothermal energy range from the
shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a
few miles beneath the Earth's surface, and down
even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of
Hydroelectricity relies on water,
which is a clean, renewable
energy source.
It essentially due to gravity.
