8. PETROLEUM PETROLEUM is formed from animals and plants that lived millions of years ago when heat and pressure turned decayed matter into crude oil. nonrenewable

9. PROPANE PROPANE is produced as a byproduct from natural gas processing and crude oil refining. It burns hotter and more evenly than other fuels. nonrenewable

10. NATURAL GAS NATURAL GAS consists primarily of methane but includes significant quantities of ethane, butane, propane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium, and hydrogen sulfide. nonrenewable

11. COAL COAL is formed from trees and plants in vast primeval forests, when heat and pressure turned decayed matter into coal. Coal is a part of the fossil fuels family. nonrenewable

12. NUCLEAR ENERGY NUCLEAR ENERGY is generated in reactors, when nuclear fuel fission heats water, and the steam turns turbines to run the generators that convert energy into electricity. nonrenewable

13. SOLAR ENERGY SOLAR ENERGY is generated when photovoltaic (PV) cells convert heat from the sun directly into electricity. renewable

14. HYDROELECTRIC HYDROELECTRIC POWER is generated when flowing water turns turbines to run generators that convert energy into electricity. renewable

15. WIND POWER WIND POWER is generated when wind turns turbines to run the generators that convert energy into electricity, which is then stored in batteries. renewable

16. BIOMASS BIOMASS is produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, recycled restaurant greases, and other byproducts of plant, agricultural, and forestry processing or industrial and human waste products. renewable

17. ETHANOL ETHANOL is a subset of biomass that is manufactured from alcohols, ethers, esters, and other chemicals extracted from plant and tree residue. It can be made from corn, sugar, wheat, and barley.

18. HYDROGEN HYDROGEN fuel is a byproduct of chemically-mixing hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, water, and heat. It’s stored in a “cell” or battery. renewable

19. GEOTHERMAL GEOTHERMAL ENERGY is generated by heat in the earth’s core. It is found underground by drilling steam wells (like oil drilling).. nonrenewable renewable
