Reflection 4

I have investigated different ways to generate energy for my sustainable resort and here is some ways my building can be sustainable;

Biomass Energy; Biomass is biological material most often referring to plants or plant-derived materials. and using it as a renewable energy source. Biomass can converted into another type of energy product, this product is called biofuel. Biomass can be converted to energy in three ways: thermal conversion, chemical conversion, and biochemical conversion.

Hydroelectricity Power; Hydroelectricity is a term referring to electricity generated by hydropower; which is the production of electrical power generated through the use of falling or flowing water. It is the most widely used form of renewable energy, accounting for 16 percent of global electricity generation.

Geothermal electricity; Geothermal electricity is electricity generated from geothermal energy. The process includes dry steam power plants, flash steam power plants and binary cycle power plants. Geothermal electricity generation is currently used in 24 countries, while geothermal heatings is in use in 70 countries. Geothermal power is considered to be sustainable because the heat extraction is small compared with the Earth's heat content.
