Describe the major sources, scale, and impacts of biomass energy
• Fuelwood remains the major source od biomass energy today, especially in developing nations.
• Biofuels, including ethanol and biodiesel, are used to power automobiles…- Some crops are grown specifically for this purpose, and waste oils are
also used.
• Biomass is used to generate electrical power…- Sources include special crops as well as waste products from agriculture
and forestry.
• Biomass energy, theoretically, adds no net carbon to the atmosphere and can use waste efficiently, but…- Harvesting of wood can lead to deforestation, and…
- Growing crops solely for fuel production is inefficient and ecologically damaging.

Describe the scale, methods, and impacts of hydroelectric power.
• Hydroelectric power is generated when water from a river runs through a powerhouse and turns turbines.
• Dams and reservoirs and run-of-river systems are alternative approaches.
• Hydropower produces little air pollution, but dams and reservoirs can greatly alter riverine ecology and local economies.
