Renewable Energy

"The future of our Planet lies in our hands"

Renewable energy is the collective name for energy that is produced using the earth’s natural resources like sunlight, wind, water resources (rivers, tides and waves), heat from the earth’s surface, or biomass. The process by which these renewable resources are converted into energy emits no net greenhouse gases, which is why renewable energy is also referred to as ‘clean energy’ . It can be used to directly produce electricity or heat for our homes and industries. It can also be used for biogases in heat or electricity production, and for biofuels in the transport sector. Renewable energy will play a fundamental role in achieving the EU’s energy and climate objectives. Not only is it abundantly available within the EU, but it is also cost-competitive with fossil fuels. As such, it can help make our energy systems more affordable and reduce the EU’s dependency on imported fossil fuels.
