• Biogas is created when slurry (a
mixture of water and cattle
dung/wet garbage/dry leaves) is
broken down by anaerobic
micro-organisms (bacteria).
Biogas power • Biogas is mainly 55-60%
methane and the rest is 40%
CO2.
• The slurry is created in the
mixing tank and is put in
digester tank using inlet
chamber. The digester tank is
where the micro-organisms
actually breakdown the slurry to
• This biogas is collected in exit pipe.
Meanwhile, the slurry is collected and
can be used as a fertilizer for plants.
• The biogas can be either used in
cooking, or can be burnt to heat
Biogas power water. This produces steam which is
used to power a turbine. The energy
created is then converted into
electricity using generator.
• Biomass powerplant is
very similar to biogas
powerplant.
• But rather than making
gas using waste products,
biomass uses animal
Biomass waste products and plant
power waste products as it is (in
solid form).
• The rest of the process is
same. The heat from the
burnt waste products is
used to heat water and
create steam. That steam
starts a turbine and
• Wave powerplant is
usually built on a
coastline. It uses the
constant ascent and
descent of the edge or a
wave, to create a push
and pull pressure in the
Wave air.
Power • This causes the turbine to
also move with the
pushing and pulling air.
And causes the turbine to
be in constant motion,
making a lot of electricity.
• Even the weakest waves
cause the turbine to
• Tidal powerplant is a form
of hydropower which uses
the energy from the
natural rise and fall of the
tides into electricity.
• This can only be formed at
Tidal coastlines and can only
work in the distance
Power between the tides is 5m or
higher.
• There are main three
types of tidal powers. Tidal
barrage, fence and
turbine.
• Tidal barrage is under a
dam, which utilizes the
water which travels from
high tide to low tide,
because it has to go
through the turbine. And
vice versa.
Tidal • Tidal fences and turbines
Power are both very similar to
how water powerplants
work. They use the
constant motion of the
water to keep the turbine
in motion.
• Tidal turbines are also
similar to wind turbines.
• Nuclear power uses the
power of uranium when it
is broken down into two
parts by nuclear fission.
• This happens when one
uranium atom is given one
neutron, it is broken down
Nuclear into two parts, releasing 3
power more neutrons. This
process continues until it
is stopped using control
rods.
• Some pieces of uranium
are put in a rod. Many rods
are collected into a bundle
and put in a cylinder.
• The heat from nuclear
fission is transferred
through deuterium oxide
(which is 10% more
heavier than water) to
steam chamber, where
steam is produced and
Nuclear used to power a turbine.
power And then converted to
electricity using alternater.
