Renewable energy, explained. Solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, and geothermal power can provide energy without the planet-warming effects of fossil fuels.

Non-renewable energy includes coal, gas and oil. Most cars, trains and planes use non-renewable energy. They all get the energy to move from burning fossil fuels to release the energy they contain.

Discover the different types of renewable and non-renewable energy with these interactive learning resources for KS2 Science students aged 7-11 from BBC Bitesize.
