Study Notes

Climate Change and Renewable Energy

Climate change is a pressing global issue.
Renewable energy, derived from replenished natural sources, is a solution.
Renewable energy includes solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass.

Renewable Energy Sources

Solar Energy: Harnesses power from the sun.
Wind Energy: Captures kinetic energy from moving air.
Hydro Energy: Uses the movement of water.
Geothermal Energy: Leverages heat from beneath the Earth's surface.
Biomass Energy: Utilizes organic materials (wood, crop waste, animal dung).

Advantages of Renewable Energy

Significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions (unlike fossil fuels).
Produces little to no emissions during operation.
Reduces dependency on finite, non-renewable resources.

Challenges of Transitioning to Renewable Energy

High initial investment costs.
Technological limitations (like intermittent nature of solar and wind).
Many countries are setting ambitious goals for renewable energy adoption.
