Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Photovoltaic Cells Section 1 Renewable Energy Today Sunlight falls on a semiconductor, causing it to release electrons. The electrons flow through a circuit that is complete when another semiconductor in the solar cell absorbs electrons and passes them on to the first semiconductor. Chapter 18

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Fuel Cells can run on natural gas Or any other hydrogen rich fuel, including gasoline. Bloom Box delivers electricity (60 Minutes) A power plant converts chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy. Then loses energy to scrubbers and transmission. A fuel cell leaves out the middle two steps, no pollution and can be set up in your back yard.

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Section 2 Alternative Energy and Conservation Energy Efficiency Most of our devices are fairly inefficient. More than 40 percent of all commercial energy used in the United States is wasted. Increasing efficiency may involve sacrifices or investments in new technology. Chapter 18

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. Section 2 Alternative Energy and Conservation Cogeneration production of two useful forms of energy from the same fuel source. For example, the waste heat from an industrial furnace can power a steam turbine that produces electricity. Small cogeneration systems have been used for years to supply heat and electricity to multiple buildings at specific sites. Chapter 18
