Clean energy is that energy source that does not release pollutants into the atmosphere and that have an impact on a nature without a local installation of the plant, when they talk about electric energy for a movement of vehicles, a clean energy Contributes significantly to a quantity Of carbon (more specifically, carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere and, consequently, does not intensify the greenhouse effect and does not aggravate the problem of global warming. One example is biomass (biofuel), such as ethanol and biodiesel.

2 Solar energy

Solar energy is a term that refers to the energy coming from the light and the heat of the Sun. It is used by means of different technologies in constant evolution, such as solar heating, photovoltaic solar energy, heliothermic energy, solar architecture and photosynthesis artificial. Solar technologies are widely characterized as active or passive, depending on how they capture, convert and distribute solar energy. Among the active solar techniques are the use of photovoltaic panels, solar thermal concentrators of heliothermic plants and solar heaters. Among the passive solar techniques are the orientation of a building to the Sun, the selection of materials with favorable thermal mass or translucent properties and design spaces that make the air circulate naturally.

4 Hydro-electric energy

The hydroelectric energy is the obtaining of electric energy through the use of the hydraulic potential of a river. In order for this process to be carried out, it is necessary to build plants in rivers that have a high volume of water and that present unevenness in their course.

The force of the water in motion is known as potential energy, this water passes through the plant pipes with great force and speed, carrying out the movement of the turbines. In this process, the transformation of potential energy (water energy) occurs in mechanical energy (turbine motion). The moving turbines are connected to a generator, which is responsible for the transformation of mechanical energy into electrical energy.

3 Wind Energy

Wind energy is one of the most promising natural sources of energy and has many advantages because it is renewable, ie it is not depleted, cleaned, widely distributed globally and, if used to replace fossil fuel sources, which helps reduce Of the greenhouse effect.

Despite its many advantages, there are also disadvantages, as they have some environmental impacts. The wind farms and wind turbines are very large and the wind blowing through their blades makes a lot of noise, which prevents people living near these parks. In addition, wind farms may affect the migration phenomenon of some bird species.
