Renewable energy source

A renewable energy source is a natural resource that replenishes itself naturally at a rate equal to or faster than it is consumed, and is therefore virtually inexhaustible under normal usage.

The main renewable sources include:

solar radiation (photovoltaics, solar thermal systems),
wind (onshore and offshore turbines),
water (hydropower plants, pumped storage systems),
geothermal heat,
biomass and biofuels.

Renewable energy sources are the foundation for producing renewable energy and enable a long-term sustainable energy mix with minimal environmental impact.

How energy from these sources is used and what benefits it brings for climate goals can be found under the term renewable energy.
