6.5.1 Renewable Energy

• Renewable energy sources replenish naturally and can be used repeatedly without depleting the resource
• What are some examples of renewable energy sources?

  Solar, wind, hydro
• Renewable energy sources deplete over time and must be replaced regularly

  False
• Order the benefits of renewable energy based on their impact, from environmental to economic

  1️⃣ Low greenhouse gas emissions

  2️⃣ Renewable resources replenish naturally

  3️⃣ Creates jobs and investment
• Match the key terms with their definitions:

  Renewable energy ↔️ Self-replenishing resources

  Sustainability ↔️ Resources replenish naturally

  Environmental impact ↔️ Low greenhouse gas emissions

  Economic growth ↔️ Creates jobs and investment
• Why are renewable energy sources considered renewable?

  Replenish without depletion
• Renewable energy sources are considered renewable because they replenish naturally and can be used repeatedly without depleting the resource
• The sustainability of renewable energy is due to its ability to replenish naturally
• Match the benefits of renewable energy with their descriptions:

  Sustainability ↔️ Resources replenish naturally

  Environmental Impact ↔️ Low greenhouse gas emissions

  Economic Growth ↔️ Creates jobs and investment
• What is one advantage of renewable energy over non-renewable sources?

  Lower environmental impact
• Renewable energy is considered a vital component of sustainable development
• Renewable energy sources contribute to job creation and economic growth

• Match the type of renewable energy source with its description:

  Solar energy ↔️ Utilizes sunlight through solar panels

  Wind energy ↔️ Harnesses wind power using wind turbines

  Hydro energy ↔️ Generates electricity from flowing water

  Geothermal energy ↔️ Uses heat from the Earth’s interior

  Biomass energy ↔️ Converts organic materials into energy
• Why are renewable energy sources considered renewable?

  They replenish naturally
• Intermittency is a disadvantage of renewable energy because it relies on weather
• How does renewable energy reduce environmental impact?

  Lowers greenhouse gas emissions
• Renewable energy fosters economic growth by creating jobs.
• Reduced environmental impact aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 13, which focuses on climate
