Renewable Energy - Page 13

Renewable energy refers to energy derived from natural sources that are continually replenished and can be renewed over time. This includes sources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, geothermal heat, and biomass. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and emit greenhouse gases when burned, renewable energy sources are sustainable and have a lower environmental impact. The transition to renewable energy is vital for reducing carbon emissions, combating climate change, and promoting energy security.
