What Are The Top Types of Renewable Energy Solutions?
More than ever, people are looking for renewable energy options that are sustainable in the long term. Why is that? Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energies cannot potentially run out over time. With this in mind, the energy industry is invested in finding and incorporating energy solutions to provide for a more innovative, more sustainable future.
Renewables Worldwide is committed to finding more efficient energy solutions that are affordable and available for everyone!
Solar Energy
Sunlight is abundant and freely available as a reliable source of renewable energy. It’s also our primary expertise here at Renewables Worldwide. Did you know that the amount of solar energy that touches Earth each hour can power the planet for a whole year? However, it’s not a reachable goal at this point in time. Researchers are working diligently to find solutions to technological, storage, and space limitations.
Wind Energy
Are you familiar with wind farms? Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy from the wind, turning blades into mechanical energy. Then, a generator can convert mechanical energy into electricity that is capable of powering homes and businesses. Large wind turbines in groups of farms are proficient at powering thousands of homes.
Hydro Energy
Also known as hydroelectric power, hydroenergy harnesses the power of water in motion. In other words, it uses flowing water to generate electricity. Currently, hydropower is the most commonly used form of all renewable energy solutions. To be exact, 71% of all renewable energy generated is from hydroelectric power!
Geothermal Energy
What’s cooler than using the heat beneath the Earth as a form of renewable energy? Geothermal energy can be used in a wide variety of applications. For example, it’s commonly used for heating baths, building, and generating electricity. How do people access geothermal energy? They make wells deep into the ground to reach underground reservoirs of steam and hot water. Then, the heat drives turbines that connect to generators, resulting in electricity.
