Natural gas: Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is burned to produce electricity, heat homes and businesses, and power vehicles. It is a cleaner-burning fuel than coal, and it produces less carbon dioxide emissions.
Biomass: Biomass is organic matter that can be used to produce energy. Examples of biomass include wood, plants, and animal waste. Biomass can be burned to produce heat or electricity, or it can be converted into other fuels, such as biogas or ethanol.
Solar power: Solar power is energy that is generated by the sun. Solar panels can be installed on homes, businesses, or other buildings to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity.
Wind power: Wind power is energy that is generated by the wind. Wind turbines can be installed on land or at sea to capture wind energy and convert it into electricity.
Hydropower: Hydropower is energy that is generated by the flow of water. Hydroelectric dams can be built to capture the energy of flowing water and convert it into electricity.
Geothermal power: Geothermal power is energy that is generated by the heat from the earth's interior. Geothermal power plants can be built near hot springs or other areas where there is a lot of heat underground.
Nuclear power: Nuclear power is energy that is generated by the splitting of atoms. Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using heat from nuclear reactions to boil water and turn a turbine.
Hydrogen fuel cells: Hydrogen fuel cells produce electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen. They are a clean-burning fuel, and they produce only water vapor as a byproduct.
