This lecture introduces renewable energy sources and their importance for Pakistan. It aims to help students understand different renewable resources like wind, solar, tidal, and geothermal energy as well as biofuels and hydro energy. The lecture distinguishes renewable sources that replenish naturally from non-renewable resources and highlights exploring renewable alternatives to conventional energy to benefit Pakistan through managing renewable sources and their applications.

4. Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is generally defined as
energy that comes from resources which are
naturally replenished on a human timescale
such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves
and geothermal heat.
For this reason they are sometimes called infinite
energy resources.

5. Sources of Renewable Energy
There are many different sources of renewable energy
These sources are listed below.
1. Wind Energy
2. Solar Energy
3. Tidal Energy
4. Geothermal Energy
5. Biofuel (Bagasse, Animal Dung)
6. Hydro Energy
