Based on usability of energy
(a) Primary resou rces:
Resources avai lable in nature in raw form are cal led p r imary energy
resourc es, e.g. foss i l fuels (coal, oi l and gas), uranium , hydro energy, etc.
(b) Intermediate resources
This is obta ined from p r imary energy by one or more steps o f
transform at ion and is u sed as a vehicle of energy.
(c) Secondary resources
The form of energy, which is f inal ly sup pl ied to con sum er for u t i l izat ion
e.g. electr ic al energy, thermal energy (in the form of s team or hot water),
chem ical energy ( in the form of Hydro gen).

Based on traditional use(a)Conventional Energy resourceswh ich h ave been tradit ion al ly used for m any decades, e.g. fossi l fuels,
nuc lear and hydro resourc es.
(b) Non-con ventional Energy resou rceswh ich are cons idered for large scale use, e.g. , solar , win d, biom ass, etc.
Based on long-term availability
(a)Non -renewable Resou rceswh ich are f ini te and do no t get reloaded after their cons umption , e.g.
foss i l fuels, uranium etc.
(b) Renewable Resourceswh ich are renewed by nature again and again and th eir sup ply is no t
affected by th e rate of their cons umption e.g. solar, win d, biomass, ocean

IMPORTANCE OF NON-CONVENTIONAL
ENERGY SOURCESThe concern for environm ent due to the ever increasing use of fos si l fuels
and rapid deplet ion of these resources have led to the development ofal ternat ive sou rces of energy, whic h are renewable and env ironm ent fr iendly.
• The convent ional sources o f energy wi l l not be suf f ic ient to meet the
grow ing indu str ial as wel l as domest ic demand.
•Convent ional sou rces (except hyd ro) are no n-renewable and bound tof in ish one day.
• Convent ional sou rces (foss i l fuels, nu clear) also cause po l lut ion , thereby
their use degrade the environment.
• Large hydro -resourc es affect wild l i fe, cause deforestat ion and causevar ious socia l problems, due to construc t ion of big dams.
• Fossi l fuels are also used as raw mater ials in the chemical indus try (for
chemicals, medicin es, etc.) and need to be co nserved for fu ture
generat ions.

COMMON FORMS OF ENERGY1. Mechanical energy
Mechanical energy is used for m ovement o f objects, changing the shape of
the objects, etc. in transpo rtat ion , hand l ing, process ing, agr iculture and
industry.
2. Elect r ical energy
Electr ical energy is considered to be the top grade energy. I t is used
un iversal ly as a vehicle of energy. Abou t 30 –40% energy d istr ibu t ion in the
wo r ld is m et through elect rica l supply system at present .
3. Chem ical energy
Fuels and organic matter contain chemical energy. Exothermic chemical
react ion s release heat energy. Als o ch emical energy is d irect ly con verted
into electr ical energy in fuel cel ls, storage batter ies, etc. and in to th ermal
energy by combust ion .

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
CONVENTIONAL ENERGY SOURCES
Advantages1. Its very cheap.
2. Secur i ty b y sto r ing c ertain q uant i ty, the energy avai labi l i ty can be ensured
for a certain per iod .
3. It is very co nvenient to u se .
Disadvantages
1. Fossil fuel s generate po llutan ts CO, CO2, NOX, SOX. The po llutant s
degrade the enviro nm ent, po se health hazards and cause var ious o ther
problems.
2. Coal is also a valuable petro-chemical and u sed as source of raw m ater ial
for chemical, pharmaceut icals and paints, etc. indus tr ies. long-term poin t
of v iew, it is desirable to co nserve coal for future needs.

3. Safety of nuc lear plants is contro versial subject . Major prob lems w ith
nu clear energy are:
The waste mater ial generated in nuc lear plants h as dangerou s levels of
radioact iv i ty.
It is a health h azard.
Poss ibi l i ty o f accidental leakage of radio act ive mater ial from reactor.
(as happened in Chernob yl, former USSR in Apr i l 1986) Lim ited
resources.
4. Hydroelectr ic plants are cleanest but large hydro -reservoirs c ause the
fo l lowing prob lems:
As large land area submerges into w ater, wh ich leads to deforestat ion.
Causes enviro nm ental distu rbances suc h as earthqu akes.
Affects w ildl i fe.Causes d is locat ion of large popu lat ion and c onsequent ly their
rehabi l i tat ion prob lems.

SALIENT FEATURES OF NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY
SOURCES
Merits
1. Non-con vent ion al sourc es are avai lable in nature, free of c ost.
2. They cause n o o r very l i t t le po l lut ion . Thus , by and large, they are
environment fr iendly.
3. They are infin ite.
4. They have low development per iod.
Demeri ts
1. Thou gh avai lable freely in nature, the cos t of co ntrol l in g energy from non-
convent ional sou rces is h igh , as in general, these are avai lable in d i lute
form s of energy.
2. The energy f low depends on var ious natural Phenomena beyond hum an
contro l .
3. Dif f icu l ty in transpo rt ing th is form of energy.

Greenhouse Effect
The CO2 envelope present around the globe in the atmosph ere
behaves similar to a glass pane, and forms a big global
greenhou se. This tends to prevent th e escape of heat from earth,
wh ich leads to glob al warming . This phenomenon is know n as
green hou se effect .
8/10/2019 Lecture ERU

Pollution
(a) Indoor pollution
Indo or po l lu t ion is m ain ly caused du e to the use of con vent ional Chulhas,
Gas Heaters in rural areas.
This requires the need of im prov ed hou sehold stove (Chulh as), Electr ic
Heaters to reduce indo or po l lut ion .
(b) Outdoor pollution
Outdoor po l lu t ion is main ly caused due to us e of fossi l fuels. Emissions
f rom fossi l fuel based p lants d egrade the environm ent and cause var ious
other pro blems . Coal and o i l are more po l lutant than gas.
8/10/2019 Lecture ERU
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/lecture-eru 18/37
Remedy
1. Use of fossi l fuels sho uld be slowly cu r tai led, i .e . gasi f ied coal , wh ich is
less p ol lu t ing sho uld be used in power plants.
2. Clean alternat ive fuels suc h as hydrogen sho uld be used.
3. Electr ic vehic les or battery-operated vehicles should be used in place of
I.C eng ine based vehic les.
