Sources of Renewable Energy |
Explanation |
| 1 |
Biogas |
A source in gaseous form produced by anaerobic digestion or fermentation of non-dehydrated and biodegradable organic matter, including fertilizers, sewage sludge, yield, by products and residues from agricultural, industrial or municipal waste originating from Malaysia. |
| 2 |
Biomass |
A source in solid form comprising non-fossilized and biodegradable organic matter, including revenue and by products and residues from agricultural, industrial or municipal waste derived from Malaysia. |

Small hydropower |
• A technology that utilizes flowing water power to generate electricity• Hydroelectricity is the electricity generated when flowing water from reservoirs or flowing water from rivers, rivers or waterfalls are distributed through water turbines.• The pressure on the water flowing on the turbine blade causes the wooden part of the turbine to rotate and drive the electric generator. It will then convert to electricity.• Normally, dam water and flow of water to the turbine will be controlled by the opening and closing of the water gate and pipes. This is known as a penstock. |

Geothermal |
Geothermal refers to thermal obtained from earth (geo).• There is a steady stream of heat from the centre of the earth (5000 ° C) through the earth's surface. |
| 5 |
Wind |
• Wind energy is generated by converting existing winds to other forms of energy using wind turbines.• The wind turbine will absorb energy from the air or wind to kinetic energy from rotational motion through the rotors.• Wind power is usually used to generate electricity and is also used for pumping water especially in rural areas. |
| 6 |
Solar |
• Solar energy is generated when energy from the sun is converted to electricity or used to heat water, air and others.• There are two types of solar thermal and solar photovoltaics. |
| 7 |
Sea |
• There are two types, namely, mechanical energy from tides and surfaces, and heat energy from sun heat.• This sea energy is classified as tidal power, solar energy and thermal energy. |
