What is Renewable Energy?
Renewable energy is the energy produced from sources that do not deplete or that can be replenished within a human’s lifetime. The most important sources of renewable energy are: Wind, Solar, Geothermal, Biomass and Hydropower.
Most of the renewable energy is derived directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight can be captured by using solar technologies. The sun’s heat drives wind whose energy can be captured by wind turbines to produce electricity. Plants rely on the sun to grow and their stored energy can be utilized as bioenergy. The geothermal energy utilizes the earth’s thermal heat, tidal energy relies on gravitational pull of the moon and hydropower relies on flow of water for production of electricity.
Renewable energy is more about the usage of the resources that are environment friendly and also help in maintaining a sustainable environment.
