Renewable Energy
Renewable Energy in Cambodia I. Introduction Cambodia is a country in Southeastern Asia, bordering the Gulf of Thailand, between Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos. Cambodia is located surrounded by mountainous and highland areas in the periphery and flat like a stove in the central area. Cambodia is the country that full of the natural resources. The natural resources are classified in two categories are renewable resources and non-renewable resources, and natural resources can be converted to power energy, but renewable energy is better than non-renewable energy because it is sustainable for our life, so renewable energy is the best energy in which people all over the world should consume it, because it has a little impact to our environment. Renewable energy sources are being use all over the world. All countries over the world need energy to maintain their life. As in our book said “Energy is essential to maintain life.” But the percentage of using the renewable energy all over the world is not more than 10% of the world’s total energy. As you can see in the picture, renewable energy that we use nowadays are solar, geothermal, biomass, wind, and hydroelectric. Moreover, countries that have been using a lot of renewable energy mostly are developed countries, in contrast, for developing countries have been constructing renewable energy to maintain the economic in their countries. For example, Cambodia is trying to build more and more renewable energy plant power to gain more electricity to provide for its country, so it doesn’t need to buy electricity from other countries, and it can use this money for other section of country. In here we will pick some renewable energy sources to describe about them, and they are hydro power, wind power, and solar power. II. Hydropower
“Flowing water creates energy that can be captured and turned into electricity. This is called hydroelectric power, or hydropower.”
