INTRODUCTION
The world is now facing a number of serious challenges, including climate
change, energy security and economic inequality. Renewable energy can
help address all these challenges. Renewable energy is energy produced
from naturally regenerated sources, such as sun, wind, water, geothermal
heat and others. It is a clean and sustainable energy source that does not
produce greenhouse gases or other pollutants.
There are various types of renewable energy sources, including:
Solar power
Its energy produced by sunlight. Solar panels can be used to
generate electricity, or solar heat collector tools can be utilized to
heat water and move the turbine.
Wind power
This is the energy produced by the wind. Wind turbines can be
used to generate electricity.
Hydro power
This is the energy produced by the water stream. An evaporator
can be used to generate electricity, or a hydroelectric turbine can
be utilized to move a water pump.
Fuel Cell Power
The electric charge is produced by a chemical non-reactive
process, which is a reverse electrolysis process that uses the
element of water as the main material of the process.
