January 2024. Renewable Energy is derived from natural sources that are constantly replenished. These sources include solar, wind, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal. There are numerous benefits to renewable energy utilization, such as cleaner air, lower carbon emissions, climate change mitigation, revenue from electricity generation, new job creation, and economic growth. However, renewable energy faces challenges, such as the high initial cost of installation, lack of grid infrastructure, and lack of policies supporting renewable energy development. Policy wise, the Paris Agreement aims to reduce global temperature rise below 2°C by 2050, requiring a clean energy transition. Renewable energy and carbon capture can achieve 90% carbon emission reduction to reach net zero by 2050. Renewable energy use directly supports Sustainable Development Goal SDG7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, types, benefits, challenges, UN policy, and global statistics of renewable energy utilization. Discover how renewable energy technologies can reduce global carbon emissions, accelerate the clean energy transition, and meet net zero emission goals by 2050.
