Non-renewable?
3
Non-renewable Finite (being depleted – will run out) In general from a form of potential energy released by human action
4
Fossil fuels – Coal, oil, gas
5
Nuclear fuels
6
Renewable?
7
Renewable Will not run out (in the near future) Mostly directly or indirectly linked with the sun (the exception is tidal energy)

Energy Density
16
The energy that can be obtained from a unit mass of the fuel J.kg -1 If the fuel is burnt the energy density is simply the heat of combustion
17
Energy density Coal - 30 MJ.kg -1 Wood - 16 MJ.kg -1 Gasoline – 47 MJ.kg -1 Uranium – 7 x 10 4 GJ.kg -1 (70000000 MJ.kg -1 )
