1. Three non-renewable energy resources are:
· -Coal
· -Oil
· -Gas
2. Three renewable energy resources are:
· -Solar
· -Wind
· -Hydro-Electricity
3. Australia is looking to develop clean energy sources due to the concern of the environment and climate change.
4. The top four coal produces in the world are: China, USA, India and Australia.
5. Australia’s coal reserves are up to 76 billion tonnes.
6. Australia is rich in natural gas resources
7. The Solar Power Plant to be built in Mildura, Victoria will cover 0.8 square kilometres. It will use technology developed to power satellites and consist of fields of mirrors. Because of the size and the mirrors, the Sun’s energy will be concentrated using cells that produce 1500 times more energy than a typical rooftop solar panel.
8. Electricity can be generated by the wind using large turbines. The wind will blow the
turbines around causing friction to generate electricity.
9.
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
| · Provides 18,000 households with their energy needs, 2% of SA’s residential customers · Will reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by around 2 million tonnes. · Will hold 23 turbines | · Will cost $65 million · Will last 25 years · It will ruin the views of the country. |
10. Hydro Power, Wind Power and Solar Power are all Renewable Energy Sources and give of no greenhouse gasses. They don’t hurt the environment and are easy to make.
13. The Gas Fields of Australia are located on the West Coasts, inland and the South Coasts covering 1,000’s of kilometres squared. The pipelines are directed to the main cities and towns around Australia most of them located in Victoria & NSW.
14. a.) i. AU $15 billion approx.
ii. AU $5.05 billion approx.
iii. AU $3 billion approx.
b.) i. AU $25 billion
ii. AU $ 5.3 billion approx.
iii. AU $ 3 billion approx.
c.) Coal has the greatest increase in export value.
