Renewable Energy
Renewable energy: An alternative to dying conventional resources
Renewable energy is a nature’s gift that originates from naturally replenished resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. In the modern world where conventional power resources are dying, this energy resource has become a perfect tool for the production of electricity, hot water, space heating, motor fuels, and off-grid energy services. Interestingly, about 16% of global energy consumption comes from renewable resources.
Benefits of using renewable energy than traditional resources. These include:
Environmental benefits.
Reduce CO2 emissions and improve air quality.
Generate significant benefits for local economies.
Highly abundant and long lasting forever.
security.
