Green energy refers to energy sources that are renewable and non-polluting, such as solar, wind, and hydropower. As fossil fuels are the largest driver of climate change, there is a need to transition away from coal, oil and gas to cleaner energy sources. Currently around 11% of global primary energy comes from renewable technologies like solar, wind, hydropower, and nuclear. The benefits of green energy include zero carbon emissions, abundant sources, and cleaner energy for a sustainable future. However, green energy technologies also have some limitations that need to be addressed through further research and development.
