1. Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources, which are naturally
replenished on a human timescale, such as,
Sunlight
Wind
Geothermal Heat
Rain
Tides
Waves
Renewable energy often provides energy in four important areas: electricity generation, air and
water heating / cooling, transportation, and rural (off – grid) energy services.
Based on Ren21’s 2017 report, renewable contributed 19.3% to humans’ global energy
consumption and 24.5% to their generation of electricity in 2015 and 2016, respectively. This
energy consumption is divided as 8.9% coming from traditional biomass, 4.2% as heat energy
(modern biomass, geothermal and solar heat), 3.9% hydroelectricity and 2.2% is electricity from
wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies
amounted to more than US$286 billion in 2015(155), with countries like China and the United States
heavily investing in wind, hydro, solar and biofuels. Globally, there an estimated 7.7 (198) million
jobs associated with the renewable energy industries, with solar photovoltaics being the largest
renewable employer. As of 2015 worldwide, more than half of all new electricity capacity installed
was renewable.
1.1 Sunlight
This form of energy relies on the nuclear fusion power from the core of the sun. This energy can
be collected and converted in a few different ways. The range is from solar water heating with
solar collectors or attic cooling with solar attic fans for domestic use to the complex technologies
of direct conversion of sunlight to electrical energy using mirrors and boilers or photovoltaic cells.
Unfortunately, these are currently insufficient to fully power our modern society.

1.2 Wind
The movement of the atmosphere is driven by differences of temperature at the Earth’s surface
due to varying temperatures of the Earth’s surface when lit by sunlight. Wind energy can be used
to pump water or generate electricity, but requires extensive areal coverage to produce significant
amounts of energy.
