In addition‚ renewable energy is generated by natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind and biomass which produce less or no pollution when generate energy. Furthermore‚ renewable energy will be demanded for approximately half of the worldwide electricity supplies to reduce CO2 emissions by 2050‚ which it is estimated by The International Energy Agency (Cited in Shi 2010). This essay will focus on two forms of renewable energies which are solar

Flemister Renewable Energy is best America’s dependency on foreign oil is costing us more than just money; it costs us our clean air and potentially thousands of jobs in America. Our nation needs to create its own renewable energy. The dependency on other countries is crippling our economy. Drilling for oil in the United States is not the answer. We need to take better care of our planet and that each of us must

Impact (s) 8 Conclusion 9 References 10 INTRODUCTION Biomass is a source of renewable energy. Biomass is a fancy name for material from plants and animals. Some kinds of biomass can be burned to produce energy. One common example is wood. Biomass contains stored energy. That’s because plants absorb energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. When biomass is burned‚ this stored energy is released as heat. Burning biomass releases carbon dioxide. However‚ plants also take

Renewable sources of Energy Summary The potential of renewable energy sources is enormous as they can in principle meet many times the world’s energy demand. Renewable energy sources such as biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ hydropower‚ and geothermal can provide sustainable energy services‚ based on the use of routinely available‚ indigenous resources. A transition to renewables-based energy systems is looking increasingly likely as their costs decline while the price of oil and gas continue to fluctuate
