The Future of Energy: Transitioning from Fossil Fuels to Renewable Sources

As the world grapples with the consequences of coal, oil, and natural gas, the urgent need for renewable energy sources is more crucial than ever. Fossil fuels emit harmful greenhouse gases, create environmental hazards, and are finite resources. In contrast, renewable energies, including geothermal options, provide sustainable solutions with minimal emissions and lower environmental impacts. This transition not only mitigates climate change but also promotes energy security and long-term cost savings. Exploring geothermal energy reveals innovative methods like Binary, Flash Steam, and Dry Steam systems that can harness the Earth's natural heat efficiently.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Where the World is going

  2. Coal • I levels of emission that are harmful to the atmosphere • Not renewable, they will not come back • Burning coal creates sulfur dioxide • Mining for coal is dangerous and time consuming.

  3. Crude Oil (petroleum) • Formed from plants and animals decomposing for millions of years • Burning creates carbon emissions • Recovering oil is inefficient • Oil transportation is very dangerous and spills can occur • Not considered a renewable energy source

  4. Natural Gas • Finite amounts left in the earth • Very expensive to pump out of the Earth • Contributes to green house gasses • Mostly methane • Prone to leaking

  5. Why are renewable energy’s Valuable • They will never run out • Most give off very little or no emissions • Usually have low environment impacts • Will pay for themselves over time • Prevalent in many ecosystems • Do not contribute towards greenhouse gasses

  6. Geothermal Energy Geothermal Power Plant • There are three types of Geothermal energy • Binary • Flash Steam • Dry Steam Coal Power Plant

  7. Binary Geothermal Power • Heat doesn’t need to be extreme • All water used goes back into the Earth • There is Almost no waste of Anything
