APPLICATIONS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES IN ALL SECTORS

Renewable Energy Resources

Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. In its

various forms, it derives directly from the sun, or from heat generated deep within the earth

included electricity and heat generated from solar, wind, ocean, hydropower, biomass,

geothermal resources,biofuels and hydrogen derived from renewable resources.

Renewable Energy Resources in different sectors

Transport sector Agriculture sector Industrial sector Domestic sector Energy sector

Renewable energy resources in Transport Sector

• The challenge of alternative fuels is primarily an economic one.

• Although the volumetric cost of methanol (made from natural gas) and ethanol (made from corn) is on par with gasoline, a car running on ethanol consumes 50 percent more fuel and an ethanol car consumes about twice the fuel per mile traveled, in comparison to a car running on gasoline. Consequently, per-mile fuel costs are greater.

Renewable energy resources in Transport Sector

• Alternative fuels do not save primary energy, but they are cleaner than gasoline. Carbon dioxide levels remain essentially unchanged when alcohol fuels are made from renewable biological feedstocks.

• We should use biofuels in place of fossil fuels by bringing modifications in rngine and this can be used in all three modes of transport.

• Solar energy can also be used for running cars.

Renewable Energy Resources in Agriculture Sector

• Renewable energy and farming are a winning combination.

• Wind, solar, and biomass energy can be harvested forever, providing farmers with a long-term source of income.

• It provides an overview of renewable energy options for farmers and ranchers that how they can help make renewables a growing source of energy and rural income.

Renewable Energy Resources in Agriculture Sector

Wind Power and Agriculture• Wind energy alone could provide $1.2 billion in new

income for farmers and rural landowners by 2020, as well as 80,000 new jobs.

• Farmers can benefit from wind energy in many ways, including generating their own power, leasing land to wind developers, and becoming wind developers themselves.

• One wind turbine uses only one-quarter acre of land, including access roads, and can earn royalties up to $2,000 per year.

Renewable Energy Resources in Agriculture Sector

Solar Energy and Agriculture• Solar energy is clean and unlimited. • Capturing the sun's energy for light, heat, hot

water, and electricity can be a convenient way to save money, increase self-reliance, and reduce pollution. Whether drying crops, heating buildings, or powering a water pump, using the sun can make the farm more economical and efficient.

Renewable Energy Resources In Agriculture Sector

• We should start to grow fuel crops to an extent which should not harm food security.

• Preference should be given to non-edible fuels.

Renewable Energy Resources in Domestic sector

• We can use renewable resources effectively by using solar cooking stove,solar geasers, solar heaters and utilizing more and more solar light during day time.

• Food is easily and conveniently cooked with solar energy as the "fuel" in devices called solar cookers (or solar ovens).

Renewable Energy Resources In Domestic sector:

• Solar cookers are an ideal addition to any kitchen wherever there are predictable hours of sun many days of the year. Solar cooking and baking are easy.

• Solar cookers are safe around children and provide a great way to learn about and use solar energy. Solar cookers are clean, convenient, non-polluting and easy on the environment.

Renewable Energy Resources in Industrial sector

• Renewable energy resources should be used for power generation.

• Industries should have generators which can store solar energy as chemical energy to use on a rainy day or in night.

Renewable Energy Resources in Industrial sector

• Machines should be designed in such a way that can use solar energy

• We should use wind energy in industries for power generation.
