Energy Sources
Primary energy sources (meaning energy is created directly from the actual resource) can be classified in to two groups: non-renewable and renewable. Secondary sources are derived from primary sources.
Non-renewable Energy Sources
Energy from the ground that has limited supplies, in the form of gas, liquid or solid, are called non-renewable resources. They cannot be replenished, or made again, in a short period of time. Examples include; OIL, petroleum), natural gas, coal and uranium (nuclear). Oil, natural gas, and coal are called "fossil fuels" because they have been formed from the organic remains of prehistoric plants and animals.
Renewable Energy Sources
Energy that comes from a source that’s constantly renewed, such as the sun and wind, it can be replenished naturally in a short period of time. Because of this we do not have to worry about them running out. Examples include: solar, wind, biomass and hydropower. Currently, about 20% of the world's electricity comes from renewable resources. There is a global debate as to whether geothermal energy is renewable or non-renewable.
Secondary Energy Sources
Energy that is converted from primary sources is secondary sources of energy. Secondary sources of energy are used to store, move and deliver energy in an easily usable form. Examples include electricity and hydrogen.
