Produced as part of the Galway Atlantaquaria Renewable Ocean Energy Series, funded by the SFI Discover Programme 2015.

2. What is Renewable Energy
Renewable Energy is the term used to describe energy made from sustainable sources

3. Energy Sources Wind Water Fossil fuels Wood Biomass Geo Thermal Solar
Nuclear

4. Renewable Energy Devices
On this slide you can see pictures of Wind turbines, solar panels, biomass (woodchip) boiler, wave energy (wave dragon), water current turbine (for under water, in strong ocean currents), tide stream turbine ( for areas where the tide is going in and out), Nuclear Energy Power Plant, Electric Cars, Geothermal Power Plant, Hydro electric Plant or Dam, Pump Storage (Turlough Hill in Ireland)

5. Renewable Energy Devices
Wind turbine
Solar panels
Nuclear Power Plant
Tidal Turbine
Wave Energy Devices
Water Current
Geothermal turbine
Biomass/Wood Chip Boilers
Electric Vehicles
Hydro electric
Pumped Storage
These are the devices that are the most well developed and researched around the world, but there are new devices being developed all the time.

6. Main Reasons For Renewable Energy
Limited Amounts of Fossil Fuels
High Electricity Costs
Growing Electrical Demand
Global Warming
Other CO2 environmental effects (Acid Rain)
