Natural gas | Methane | More efficient than other fuels | ||
Nuclear energy | Uranium | Gives a lot of energy | It is risky because it creates nuclear radiation | |
Hydraulic energy | RENEWABLE ENERGY | Water | It is clean, does not generate waste and the water can supply the population | Transporting the energy is expensive |
Wind energy | Wind | Clean enerry | Intermittent energy | |
Solar enegy | Sun | Clean, free and high quality | Requires large areas to store it | |
Geothermal energy | Heat from inside the Earth | Clean | Only used in those placed with thermal reserves | |
Biomass | Agricultural, forestry, livestock… waste | Supplies continuous energy and saves on waste | ||
