Future energy

Elina Aunbaum

Solar energy

It can be used to produce electricity, heat houses and warm water.

When we go renewable energy sources over the solar energy would decrease air pollution by 90%.

Estonia would not be able to use solar energy in winter, but other times it would be good

Wind Power Nowadays wind energy is technically well developed and

is competitive Small wind turbines give individuals and businesses for

energy security and independence of fossil fuels for power cuts, and with large price fluctuations.

Estonian beach, open sea, and Lake Peipsi are enough windy to build wind farms and therefore are our wind energy resources quite large.

Wind randomness is not yet possible to ensure a stable electricity production capacity, which makes it unsuitable for use as the only source of energy.

Hydropower

Water is an environmentally friendly means of power generation, does not violate the air as greenhouse gases.

Estonia can not only depend on hydropower, but it is a good way to reduce our dependency on oil shale energy.

Biomass Energy

Biomass perhaps forest, scrub, reed beds and agricultural energy.

Biomass supply is high - half of Estonia's territory is forested.

Biomass recovery time is comparable to the human lifespan.
