Bioplastics are an alternative for plastics. It is produced from  a renewable biomass sources like vegetable fats and oils, cornstarch, straw, woodchips, sawdust, recycled food waste, etc.  It can also be made from used plastics like plastic bottle by using micro organisms.  Bioplastics are usually derived from sugar derivatives unlike fossil-fuel plastics which are derived from petroleum or natural gas.

Wind energy is currently one of the most important alternative energy sources in the UK, and roughly supplies about 4 mil. homes. Offshore wind is still underdeveloped due to costly maintenance and being situated in deep waters, but in the future, we will be able to generate energy more efficiently from the oceans and deep waters.
Flaws in the design of current wind turbines limits the potential of wind power use, unable to reach high altitudes winds. Future airborne technology may lead the way with much more promising reach up to 500m, where winds are stronger.

Nuclear fusion energy can be used as a temporary and immediate alternative to fossil fuels. Though there is a lot of fear surrounding nuclear energy and nuclear energy plants they are a very safe option and significantly more sustainable than fossil fuels. While nuclear energy does rely partially on a finite resource, often uranium, it can be reused for so long that it is considered both renewable and finite. The process of harnessing nuclear energy includes the fission of atoms that emits large amounts of energy, generating heat to produce steam and moving turbines to generate electricity. Compared to fossil fuels it’s impact on the environment is little to none and unlike solar, wind, or hydroelectric energy it does not rely on specific geographic and environmental factors, allowing it to be used anywhere. Therefore, it should be used along with other sources of renewable energy to eliminate fossil fuels as it is a good step and transitional source towards a world that is run on completely renewable resources.

Biomass energy involves burning organic materials and waste from landfills to create heat or electricity . the heat generated can be equivalent to that of a central heating system and the costs involved tend to be lower and the amount of carbon released by this kind of fuel falls below the amount released by fossil fuels. We should use this resource because it cost less, releases less carbon to the atmosphere and will reduce waste in land fills and alleviates the risks from letting the waste sit around.

Fusion Energy is a very new power source currently being researched and developed. It involves the fusing of atoms to farm the excess energy. As an example, one may fuse two hydrogen atoms to create a helium atom. What's great for us is that some mass is lost during the transformation creating a large amount of excess energy. The problem which now needs to be solved is the capture of said excess energy. This is currently being devolved with ITER and other experiments globally. Should it be successful, It would produce enough power to out-compete all other sources of energy. It releases almost 4 million times more energy than a reaction with fossil fuels and 4 times as much energy than that produced with nuclear fission. Fusion Energy is the future.

Biodiesel is an alternative to diesel made from organic waste like vegetable oil and animal fats. Although it can only be used when blended and can't function on its own, it greatly reduces the amount of greenhouse gas produced. Until we can find a cost-efficient and renewable energy source for transportation, biodiesel and other biofuels that require blending to work are great options to lessen our impact on the environment.

Whereas there is only so much oil found in the earth, electricity can be generated from a numerous amount of renewable resources. Electric cars are a good substitute to gas powered cars as it is cheaper and less harmful to the environment, while also being sustainable.

Hydropower is a renewable form of energy, a substitute for other non-renewable sources, such as coal mining, that are known for their harmful effects on the Earth. Simply put, hydropower relies on running water, the forces of water in rivers and streams, to generate energy. Hydropower is a renewable source that relies on the water cycle, it is inexhaustible. Coal mining produces 100 times more emissions than hydropower.

Biomass involves burning organic materials to produce electricity. Converting agricultural industrial and domestic waste into solid, liquid and gas fuel. A more cleaner and energy efficient process for generating electricity.

An alternative renewable resource to replace electricity produced by fossil fuels is hydroelectricity. Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine then converts the kinetic energy into mechanical energy. Lastly, a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into usable electrical energy.

Solar energy can be used to heat homes instead of coal or the burning of other fossil fuels. This is a good choice because the sun is a constant, and can be very efficient in creating enough energy to heat people's homes or works. By placing solar panels on the roof of a building, the energy accumulated from the sun will be used to heat the building. -Rachel

Ethanol could be used to replace other types of oil. Unlike other oils, ethanol is made from biomass, which makes it a renewable resource. Even replacing a percentage of gas with ethanol could help manage our natural resources better.

Tidal energy is made from the surging and the movement of ocean tides. It works similar to how a wind turbine works. In the water there is a turbine of sorts that moves about 12 to 18 times a minutes depending on the tides. The turbine is connected to a gearbox that turns a generator, creating electricity. You can find tidal energy testing sites and projects in Canada, Ireland, France, and Australia. Tidal energy is completely renewable and tides unlike wind and solar is very predictable. Tidal energy is also much more powerful then wind energy. Tidal turbines are 80% efficient, which is higher than solar or wind energy generators.

You can replace fossil fuels used to make electricity with wind farms. They use giant windmills that generate power when they spin. They are usually found in open areas where the wind wont be blocked.

Hydropower is a form of energy that harnesses motion (such as water flow) and generates electricity. Hydroelectric plants are more efficient at providing for peak power demands during short periods than are fossil-fuel and nuclear power plants, and one way of doing that is by using "pumped storage", which reuses the same water more than once. Not only is hydropower renewable but it is also emission free, reliable, adjustable and still has lots of benefits.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the known universe. with conventional automotive fuels depleting rapidly, an alternative fuel is needed. hydrogen has shown to be a viable replacement fuel in vehicles, such as the Toyota Mirai, which runs on hydrogen and produces water as an emission. Hydrogen is the new replacement for gasoline.
