The slide, titled "Renewable Energy Overview," serves as an introductory title slide. Its subtitle highlights sustainable energy sources and their vital role in addressing climate change.
Introducing sustainable energy sources and their importance in combating climate change.
The slide is titled "Renewable Energy Overview" and serves as a title slide for the presentation. Its subtitle, "Harnessing Nature's Power," highlights the theme of utilizing natural resources for sustainable energy.
Harnessing Nature's Power
The slide outlines key types of renewable energy sources, including solar, which harnesses sunlight via photovoltaic panels for electricity; wind, using turbines to convert kinetic energy; and hydro, generating power from controlled water flow in dams and reservoirs. It also covers geothermal, extracting Earth's internal heat, and biomass, converting organic materials into fuel for heat and electricity.
Renewable energy is derived from naturally replenishing sources such as the sun, wind, and water, providing an unlimited supply to meet future generations' needs. It significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.
The slide on Types of Renewable Energy divides its content into two columns. The left column covers solar energy, which uses photovoltaic panels to harness sunlight, and wind energy, captured by turbines, noting 22% growth in solar capacity and 900 GW installed worldwide in 2022. The right column discusses hydroelectric power from flowing water, geothermal from Earth's heat, and biomass from organic matter, with 5% global growth and hydro leading at over 1,300 GW capacity.
| Solar and Wind | Hydro, Geothermal, Biomass |
|---|---|
| Solar energy harnesses sunlight via photovoltaic panels, while wind energy captures air movement with turbines. Globally, solar capacity grew 22% in 2022, and wind reached 900 GW installed worldwide, driving rapid adoption for clean power. | Hydroelectric power uses flowing water to generate electricity; geothermal taps Earth's internal heat; biomass converts organic matter like wood into energy. These sources saw 5% global growth in 2022, with hydro leading at over 1,300 GW capacity, emphasizing sustainable expansion. |
Thermal Energy Storage in Renewables involves capturing excess heat generated from solar and wind sources for later use. It releases this stored energy during peak demand periods through systems such as molten salt tanks or rock caverns.

--- Speaker Notes: TES stores thermal energy for later use, balancing demand in solar/wind setups (e.g., summer heat for winter).
Thermal Energy Storage (TES) captures and stores heat or cold from renewable sources for use on demand, helping balance intermittent supply with consistent needs, such as using summer heat in winter. Key methods include sensible heat storage in tanks or ponds, high-temperature molten salt systems for solar applications, and compact phase-change materials for efficient energy density.
The slide highlights key benefits of renewable energy, projecting that renewables will supply 90% of electricity by 2050 according to IRENA, alongside a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions. It also notes an 89% decline in solar costs since 2010 and how thermal energy storage (TES) ensures 24/7 reliability for constant supply.

Renewable energy combats climate change by cutting emissions while driving economic growth through jobs and energy independence. The slide highlights Thermal Energy Storage (TES) as key to making renewables reliable, urging an immediate shift to clean energy for a sustainable future.
Renewable energy significantly mitigates climate change by reducing emissions and boosts the economy through job creation and energy independence.
Key Takeaway: Thermal Energy Storage (TES) enhances the reliability of renewables, ensuring stable power supply.
Closing Message: Secure a sustainable tomorrow.
Call to Action: Transition to clean energy now for a greener planet.
The slide titled "Future of Renewable Energy" concludes with the main message: "Embrace Renewables for a Sustainable Tomorrow." Its subtitle reinforces this by urging support for green initiatives today to achieve energy independence.
Embrace Renewables for a Sustainable Tomorrow
Support green initiatives today for energy independence
--- Speaker Notes: Embrace renewables for a sustainable world. With advancements like TES, we're poised for energy independence. Call to action: Support green initiatives today!
