Renewable Energy

Renewable energy is generated from resources that are naturally replenished. The six main types of renewable energy sources are hydro, wind, biomass, biogas, solar and geothermal. By taking advantage of these clean ways of producing energy, these projects displace energy generated from carbon-intensive generation sources. Often, more energy than needed locally can be produced, so clean electricity can be fed into the regional or national grid. In addition, where they displace fossil-fuel energy, they also improve environmental and public health conditions.
