Renewable Energy

Renewable energy sources are obtained from natural resources that regenerate constantly and almost infinitely. Their use enables the generation of electricity or heat without emitting polluting gases, making them a key tool in the fight against climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Main types:

• Photovoltaic and thermal solar energy
• Onshore and offshore wind energy
• Hydropower
• Geothermal energy
• Biomass and biogas
• Marine energy (tidal and wave power)
  
  

Advantages:

• Inexhaustible and sustainable
• Zero emissions during operation
• Reduce dependence on fossil fuels
• Boost employment and technological innovation
