Biomass is all the organic matter of plant or animal origin capable of regenerating in a short period of time and in a sustainable way. Biomass comprises forest by-products, agriculture, livestock, and organic municipal waste.
The wind results from pressure differences across the Earth’s surface, due to the solar radiation received on Earth being greater in the equatorial zones than in the polar zones. Wind energy is harnessed through wind turbines.
Geothermal energy is energy obtained from heat that comes from inside the Earth. Due to high temperatures, magmatic intrusions and other places with volcanic activity are areas with high geothermal potential.
Solar energy is the name given to radiation from the sun and is one of the most important aspects of renewable energy. The production of electricity from solar energy is possible through photovoltaic solar panels.
Hydroelectric energy is obtained from the kinetic energy of a body of water that is converted into mechanical energy through hydraulic turbines, which activate alternators that generate electrical energy, as happens in hydroelectric exploitations.
