Renewable energy

Renewable energy is energy obtained from renewable energy sources, meaning natural sources that are naturally replenished at the same rate or faster than they are consumed. The main types include solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy, as well as biomass and biofuels.

These sources are sustainable and virtually inexhaustible under normal use. The use of renewable energy helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, supports energy independence, and is a key pillar of the transition to a low-carbon economy.

You can learn more about the individual types of sources under the term renewable energy source.
