Renewable Energy

Renewable energy comes from naturally renewing but flow-limited sources; renewable resources are nearly limitless in terms of length but have a finite amount of energy per unit of time. Renewable energy is derived from sources that can be regenerated or replenished spontaneously. Electricity is generated using all renewable energy sources. When it comes to greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy sources are classified as zero (wind, solar, and water), low (geothermal), or neutral (biomass). In the future decades, renewable energy will play a critical role in decarbonizing our energy systems.

• Biomass (biofuel and biopower)
• Geothermal (power and heating)
• Solar (power and hot water)
• Water (hydropower and hydrokinetic)
• Wind
