Browsing: Renewable Energy
Renewable energy refers to energy sources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale and are considered sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Common types of renewable energy include solar power, wind power, hydroelectric energy, biomass, and geothermal energy. These sources produce energy while emitting little to no greenhouse gases, thereby helping to mitigate climate change by reducing the dependency on carbon-intensive energy sources. The deployment of renewable energy technologies is growing rapidly due to advancements in technology, decreasing costs, and increased global commitment to reducing carbon emissions. This shift not only helps combat environmental issues like air pollution and global warming but also enhances energy security and generates economic benefits through job creation in new industries.
