Captain says that human activity is using up nature’s resources at rates beyond the capacity of nature to restore them. Since deriving energy from fossil fuels (coal, crude oil, oil shale, natural bitumen, peat and natural gas) is an unsustainable practice, utilization of renewable energy is core to sustainable development, which therefore becomes significance that human activity uses the natural resources in ways that allow regeneration for future use.
Major forms of renewable energy, including, but are not limited:
• hydroelectricity;
• nuclear energy;
• solar energy - solar heating, photovoltaic electricity and solar thermal electricity
• biomass - wood, biofuels, forest residues, agricultural residues, livestock residues (manures), municipal soli waste, municipal bio-solids (sewage) and industrial waste;
• biomass based methanol and ethanol;
• hydrogen - hydrogen base fuel cell
• wind power;
• ocean energy, such as tidal, wave and ocean current;
• geothermal energy.
