Renewable Energy and How We Can Utilize It

For the past 150 years, we have heavily relied on coal, oil and other damaging fossil fuels to power our buildings, transport, factories etc. The use of these fuel sources has resulted in the carbon levels in our environment to reach exceptionally high levels and led to a global crisis. But times are changing, and we are realising the other amazing options that are much greener and play a key role in protecting our planet from the dangers of climate change.Renewable energy has an impressive number of benefits that go way past just being “green”, which is why the industry is growing constantly. Renewables create jobs, improves the national energy grids, increases energy access in developing countries and lowers energy bills.

Types of Renewable Energy Sources
Solar: Utilising the light and heat that come from the sun
Wind: Using wind power to generate mechanical power or energy
Biomass: Producing energy from chemical energy contained in organic matter
Thermal: Creating power from converting heat into electricity
Hydropower: Generating power from the use of flowing water
