| What is Renewable Energy? Renewable energy is | | | | resources offer a definitive supply of energy it |
| that source of energy that does not diminish and | | | | definitely reduces the dependency on other non |
| gets their replenishment of energies from other | | | | renewable energy supplies. Use of renewable energy |
| natural sources like wind, sun, flowing water, | | | | is also environmentally friendly as it reduces the |
| geothermal flows of heat and biological processes. | | | | emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, |
| With the depletion in resources of fossil fuel there | | | | making it possible for a cleaner and greener |
| seems to be a growing demand for solutions that | | | | environment. |
| can generate the same output but will not die out at | | | | The use of renewable energy is currently recorded |
| the same time. Using renewable energy resources | | | | at 15.5% gross in Denmark and is higher than 27% of |
| also is environmentally friendly as we are only taking | | | | other generated electricity. By the year 2025, the |
| what nature has to offer, and generating energy | | | | Danish government proposes to see an increase in |
| from it. | | | | the renewable energy consumption upto 30% |
| Almost 18 % of energy consumption globally was | | | | The various types from where energy can be drawn |
| from renewable energy sources in the year 2006. | | | | are; |
| The Geysers in United States, California is one of the | | | | Solar Thermal Energy |
| world's largest geothermal installations. The leader in | | | | Wind Power |
| Ethanol fuel is Brazil, this fuel drawn out of sugarcane, | | | | Photovoltaic's |
| is used to drive vehicles. The highest ownership in | | | | Wave Power |
| household solar is Kenya, where most of the | | | | Hydropower |
| households draw their energy from solar power | | | | Biomass |
| stations. | | | | Geothermal Energy |
| With so much happening globally in terms of | | | | Biogas |
| renewable resources, several countries now have | | | | Biofuel Technologies |
| passed legislations that will help increase its use. This | | | | Heat Pumps |
| has seen a trend in increase in market demand for | | | | Waste Incineration |
| newer technologies in the renewable energy resource | | | | The energy that we now use like petrol and gas are |
| industry. | | | | all drawn from non renewable resources, and with it |
| Renewable energy is definitely cost effective and | | | | being exploited to the fullest, it won't be long when |
| since it can be renewed there is no fear of running | | | | we run out of these sources. Why not make use of |
| out of that source of energy since it is Mother | | | | what Mother Nature has to offer! |
| Nature that renews it. As renewable energy | | | | |
