FAQ

What is energy?

Energy is the ability to do work or produce heat. It can exist in different forms such as heat, light, electrical, mechanical, chemical, and nuclear energy.

What are the different types of energy sources?

There are several types of energy sources such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), nuclear energy, renewable energy sources (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, biomass), and alternative energy sources (fuel cells, hydrogen, tidal).

Why is energy efficiency important?

Energy efficiency is important because it helps to reduce energy consumption and minimize greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change. It also helps to save money on energy bills and reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources.

What is renewable energy?

Renewable energy is energy that is generated from natural resources that are replenished over time and will not be depleted, such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass energy.

What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy sources?

The main difference between renewable and non-renewable energy sources is that renewable energy sources are replenished naturally and will not run out, whereas non-renewable energy sources are finite and will eventually be depleted. Renewable energy sources also have lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to non-renewable energy sources.
