Resumo de Recurso
Energy Resources
Nuclear
electricity comes from a nuclear power station
Challenges
huge building costs
enormous costs to store and transport nuclear waste
expensive to shut down
waste has to be stored safely for many years
dangerous if accidents occur
accidents lead to long term detrimental impacts on people and the wildlife
opportunities
creates jobs
energy generated is cheap
nuclear power is considered cleaner and less polluting than fossil fuels
$130 dollars per megga what
45 killograms of carbon dioxide is produced per megga what
carbon footprint 45kg co2
Renewables
Wind
Offshore
challenges
impact the current, fish and wildlife
ugly
noisy
opportunities
can act as an artificial reef and make habitats
cost 7.5c/kwh
Onshore
challenges
block TV and phone signals
disturb wildlife and people
noisy
wind turbines affect bird migration patterns and bat life
ugly
impact untouched land
opportunities
land used can also be used for farming or leisure
cost 3.3c
carbon footprint 50kg co2
Hydro electric
cost 4.8c/kwh
275kg co2
Solar
making solar panels is an energy and resources intense process. it makes a lot of waste
once you have paid to have them on your house they are free
Tidal
50kg co2
Geothermal
cost 6.8
carbon footprint 78kg co2
Waves
carbon footprint 50kg co2
Biomass
6.7c/kwh
opportunities
many jobs in manufacturing, research and development
low carbon emtions
challenges
high set up costs
more highly skilled jobs needed
imapact on visual environment
affect tourism
low profitability
Fossil fuels
Oil
it comes from the USA, Saudi Arabia and Russia
it releases 970g of carbon dioxide on a life cycle basis
challenges
the burning of fossil fuels creates greenhouse gas leads to climate change
gas and oil take up space and mean digging up of large areas of land for pipelines
cannot be done onshore in the UK because it causes mini earthquakes
opportunities
creation of jobs
it can bring money into the area
carbon captive storage is more efficient but expensive
carbon dioxide 900kg c02
Gas
challenges
non renewables
emits carbon dioxide
natural gas can be difficult to harness
opportunities
major source of energy
is relatively cheap
more jobs
energy security
it comes from the USA, Russia, Iran and Canada
it produces 0.185kg of carbon dioxide per 1 killowhat
carbon footprint 1000kg co2
Coal
challenges
coal is hard to access
coal must be imported from overseas
burning coal may contribute to climate change
waste heaps from coal mines can create visual pollution
opportunities
creates jobs
brings money and jobs to an area
carbon captive storage is efficient but expensive
it costs $0.032 megga whats
it comes from: china, Australia, Indonesia and Russia
it releases 8.2 grams of carbon dioxide on a life cycle bases
carbon footprint 1050kg co2
Fracking/ shale gas
challenges
air quality is impacted
noise, dust and disturbance
ground contamination
opportunities
helps our planet decarbonise
increase energy security
it comes from the USA, canada, china and argentina
it releases 490g of carbon dioxide on a life cycle basis
cannot be done onshore in the UK as it causes mini earthquakes
