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