Introduction about Energy What is energy?
The ability to do work.
Need for energyThe use of energy will be doubled in the next 25 year Fuel type Average power in TW[21]

Types of energy
Non-renewable Energy:it is energy which is taken from the sources that are available on the earth in limited quantity and will vanish fifty-sixty years from now
Renewable Energy:It is energy obtained from the continues or repetitive current of energy occurring in natural environment.
Non-renewable source Examples:
fossil fuels (gas, oil and coal). Nuclear fuels.
Disadvantages Environment impact (pollution, acidic
rain, global warming and climate change)
Finite (will expire in 50-100 years)
Renewable Sources: Examples:
Solar power Wind power Geothermal power Ocean power Hydro power
Advantages: Cheap (at the long period) Clean Easy used Reliable Infinite (not finished)
Why should we conserve energy?
Energy needs to be conserved to protect our environment from drastic changes, to save it.
The two main renewable sources which are available in Oman: Hydropower energy. Solar energy.
Hydropower Energy What is hydropower energy?Using moving water to produce electricity.

Advantages of Using Hydropower
Renewable.
Clean (No pollution).
Long life span.
No waste products.
High efficiency (80%).
Disadvantages of Hydropower High Cost Floods natural areas Converts land habitat to lake habitat
How hydropower works?
Solar Energy What is Solar Energy?Solar Energy is the energy that is produced by the sun in the form of heat and light.
Top 5 countries using solar power:
1. Germany (9,785 MW)2. Spain (3,386 MW)3. Japan (2,633 MW)4. United States (1,650 MW)5. Italy (1,167 MW)
Advantages of Using Solar Energy
Renewable.
Clean (No pollution).
Low maintenance.
Easy Installation.
Economically viable.
Disadvantages of Solar Energy initial Cost Location and installing area Efficiency (40%) Reliability
How Solar Energy Works?
Using Solar panels:
Molten Salt Tanker
Combination of both techniques Solar panel & Molten salt
Using Solar Energy at SQU
