Welcome to solar, wind, hydro, and more: combating climate change.
The slide is titled "Renewable Energy Overview" and serves as a title slide for the presentation. Its subtitle highlights the harnessing of sun, wind, and water as sources for sustainable power.
Harnessing Sun, Wind, and Water for Sustainable Power
Source: Introduction to sustainable energy sources that harness natural processes like sun, wind, and water for clean power generation.
Renewable energy is derived from naturally replenishing sources such as the sun, wind, and water. It reduces carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, making it essential for fighting climate change and securing energy supplies.
Renewable energy sources include solar, which harnesses sunlight via photovoltaic panels to generate electricity, and wind, which uses turbines to convert kinetic motion into power. Other types encompass hydroelectric energy from flowing water driving generators, geothermal energy tapping Earth's internal heat for steam-powered generation, and biomass energy converting organic materials into fuel for heat and electricity.
The slide outlines key types of renewable energy in two columns. The left column covers solar, which uses photovoltaic panels to convert sunlight into electricity; wind, which employs turbines to harness air movement; and hydro, which generates power from flowing water driving turbines. The right column describes geothermal, tapping Earth's heat to produce steam for turbines, and biomass, converting organic materials like plants and waste into energy via combustion or processing.
| Solar, Wind, Hydro | Geothermal, Biomass |
|---|---|
| Solar harnesses sunlight via photovoltaic panels to generate clean electricity. Wind uses turbines to convert kinetic energy from air movement into power. Hydro captures energy from flowing water to drive turbines for electricity production. | Geothermal taps Earth's internal heat to produce steam that spins turbines for electricity. Biomass converts organic materials like plants and waste into biofuels, generating energy through combustion or conversion processes. |
The slide highlights key benefits of renewable energy, including a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to fossil fuels and the creation of 12 million jobs worldwide. It also showcases the global renewable capacity reaching 3,000 GW in 2023 and an 89% drop in solar prices since 2010.

Renewable energy sources like solar and wind face intermittency challenges due to variable supply, causing grid instability and difficulties in matching production with demand, which necessitates reliable storage solutions. Thermal Energy Storage (TES) addresses this by capturing excess energy in forms such as molten salt, water tanks, or phase-change materials, allowing it to be released later to balance supply and demand effectively.
| Challenges: Intermittency Issues | Solutions: Thermal Energy Storage (TES) |
|---|---|
| Renewable sources like solar and wind are variable, leading to intermittency. This causes supply fluctuations, grid instability, and challenges in matching energy production with demand, requiring reliable storage to ensure consistent power availability. | TES systems, including molten salt for high-temperature storage, water tanks for sensible heat, and phase-change materials for latent heat, capture excess thermal energy and release it later, effectively balancing supply and demand in renewable energy systems. |
Thermal Energy Storage (TES) captures and stores heat from renewable sources like solar thermal for later use, employing methods such as tanks, molten salt, and phase-change materials. It balances energy supply and demand via seasonal storage, enabling efficient utilization across diverse conditions.
The conclusion slide, titled "Embrace Renewables," emphasizes that renewable energy is essential for a green future, highlighting innovations like TES to deliver reliable and sustainable power, and urges immediate action for a brighter tomorrow. It features a subtitle "Closing: Power a Sustainable Tomorrow" with a call-to-action to advocate for renewables in your community today.
