We promote humanity mainly by burning fossil fuels, converting chemical energy into
heat that finally radiates into space. In doing so, we obtain some results that are
considered useful: we cook food, we maintain our homes and offices at comfortable
temperatures, we watch television, we listen to music, we take showers with hot
water, we generate light during the hours of darkness and we go from one point to
another and back.
The use by man of renewable energy sources, including solar, wind and hydro, is
very old; since many centuries before our era they were already used and their use
continued throughout history until the arrival of the "Industrial Revolution", in which,
due to the low price of oil, they were abandoned.
Biogas Energy
Biomass Energy
It is obtained from the biodegradation of the products, and residues of biological
origin (both of vegetable origin and of animal origin), or of industrial and municipal
waste, and of solid fuels recovered.
The generation of electrical energy from biomass can be done in different ways:
Biomass power stations for the exclusive production of electricity.
Biomass cogeneration plants that produce electricity and heat.
Conventional thermal power plants (co-combustion), in which biomass
replaces part of the fossil fuel.
Energy of the sea
Geothermal Energy
Hydrogen:
A very abundant element in the universe, but it is not usually found in its pure state,
so to obtain it, other sources of energy are needed. Hydrogen can be transformed
into energy using technology similar to the manufacture of batteries that transform
chemical energy into electricity.
