Conventional and Non-

Conventional Sources of Energy

A Comparative Study
Introduction
• Energy sources can be classified into
conventional and non-conventional types.
This presentation explores both categories,
highlighting their characteristics, advantages,
and limitations.
Conventional Sources of Energy
• Conventional energy sources are those that have
been in use for a long time and are mainly
derived from fossil fuels.
Examples:
• - Coal
• - Petroleum
• - Natural Gas
• - Hydro Power
• - Nuclear Energy
HYDROELECTRIC POWER

•Dams hold large


amounts of
water back.
•Water flowing
through forces
turbines to spin
and create
electricity.
Conventional Energy
• Advantages:
• - High energy output
• - Well-established infrastructure
• - Reliable and consistent supply

• Disadvantages:
• - Non-renewable and depleting
• - Environmental pollution
• - Greenhouse gas emissions
Non-Conventional Sources of Energy
• Non-conventional energy sources are renewable
and eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels.

• Examples:
• - Solar Energy
• - Wind Energy
• - Biomass Energy
• - Geothermal Energy
• - Tidal & Wave Energy
Non-Conventional Energy: Pros & Cons
• Advantages:
• - Renewable and sustainable
• - Environmentally friendly
• - Reduces dependence on fossil fuels

• Disadvantages:
• - Initial high cost
• - Dependent on weather conditions
• - Requires technological development
Comparison: Conventional vs. Non-
Conventional Energy
• - Conventional energy is non-renewable, while
non-conventional energy is renewable.
• - Conventional sources cause pollution; non-
conventional sources are eco-friendly.
• - Conventional energy has well-established
infrastructure, while non-conventional energy
is still developing.
• - Non-conventional sources require large areas
for installation.
Conclusion
• Both energy sources are essential for global
energy needs. However, a shift towards non-
conventional energy is necessary for a
sustainable future. Investments in renewable
technology will help reduce dependence on
fossil fuels.
