Renewable Energy Increase = 1% in just 24 months. NATION’S ENEGERY

22% INCREASE In Biomass & Wind Energy RENEWABLE ENERGY

• Unlike fossil fuels, which are exhaustible, renewable energy

sources regenerate and can be sustained indefinitely.

• The five renewable sources used most often are

 Biomass (wood & wood waste, municipal solid waste, landfill gas & biogas, biodiesel)  Water (hydropower)  Geothermal (lava, volcano, geysers)  Wind  Solar

• U.S. Energy Information Administration

• The use of renewable energy is not new. More than 150 years ago, wood, which is one

form of biomass, supplied up to 90% of our energy needs.

• As the use of coal, petroleum, and natural gas expanded, the United States became

less reliant on wood as an energy source.

• Today, we are looking again at renewable sources to find new ways to use them to help

meet our energy needs.

• In 2010, consumption of renewable sources in the United States totaled about

8 quadrillion Btu — or about 8% of all energy used nationally.

• About 10% of U.S. electricity was generated from renewable sources. Over half of

renewable energy goes to producing electricity.

• The next largest use of renewable energy is biomass (wood and waste) for the production
• f heat and steam for industrial purposes and for space heating, mostly in homes.
• When renewable energy sources are used, the demand for fossil fuels is reduced.
• U.S. Energy Information Administration

• Renewable energy has generally been more expensive to produce

and use than fossil fuels.

• Renewable resources are often located in remote areas, and it is

expensive to build power lines to the cities where the electricity they produce is needed.

• The use of renewable sources is also limited by the fact that they

are not always available — cloudy days reduce solar power; calm days reduce wind power; and droughts reduce the water available for hydropower.

• U.S. Energy Information Administration

• The production and use of renewable fuels has grown more quickly in

recent years as a result of higher prices for oil and natural gas.

• A number of State and Federal Government incentives, including the

Energy Policy Acts of 2002 and 2005, have been legislated.

• The use of renewable fuels is expected to continue to grow over the next

30 years.

• Although, EIA projects that we will still rely on non-renewable fuels to meet

most of our energy needs.
