GREEN ENERGY

Green energy is renewable energy that is generated from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, geothermal heat and plants. Theses resources are naturally replenished. On the other hand,
Fossil fuels are a finite resource that is made from decomposing plants and other organisms, buried beneath multiple layers of sediment and rocks, established over millennials of years. This non-renewable fuels, which include
crude oil, coal and natural gases, supplies majority of the world’s energy, hence continues to diminish with use.

Green energy is immaculate energy, including green electricity, which is produced with little to no environmental damage. Unlike fossil fuels, it does not dispense greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change.

Why is renewable energy important for reaching climate goals?

To combat climate change
To reduce air pollution
To improve public health.

Difference Between Renewable and Green Energy

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), green energy provides the highest environmental benefit including power produced by solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, low-impact hydroelectric, and certain eligible biomass sources.

These renewable energy sources enter the power grid and are indistinguishable from conventional energy sources. For example, when you flip a light switch or charging a device. Although renewable energy encompasses the same sources as green energy, this energy includes technology and products which can have a considerable impact on both, the local and global environment. Essentially, when investing in green energy, you are also supporting various renewable energy projects and investments in technology that help them flourish.

Types of green energy

Solar power

Solar power is produced by accumulating sunlight and transforming it into electricity. This is done by using solar panels, which are large flat panels composed of many individual solar cells. Furthermore, it is often used in remote locations, although it is becoming more popular in urban areas.

Biofuels

The term biofuel is usually used referred as liquid fuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, which are replacements for transportation fuels such as petroleum, diesel and jet fuel. There are two main types of biofuels – ethanol and biodiesel. Moreover, biofuels include solid fuels for instant, wood pellets and biogas or syngas.

Wind power

When the wind blows past a wind turbine, its blades capture the wind's kinetic energy and rotate, turning it into mechanical energy. This then triggers the main shaft of the wind turbine, which is connected to a gearbox within the nacelle, to spin, which increases the speed of rotation by a factor of 100. That spins a generator that produces electricity. Electricity then travels to a transformer, where voltage levels are adjusted to match with the grid.

Biomass

Biomass is organic material that comes from plants and animals, and it is a renewable source of energy. The most common biomass materials used for energy are plants, wood, and waste. These are known as biomass feedstocks. Biomass energy can also be a non-renewable energy source.

Hydropower

Hydropower, also known as hydroelectricity refers to the conversion of energy from flowing water into electricity. Hydropower is considered a renewable energy source because, water constantly moves through the water cycle, evaporating from lakes and oceans, forming clouds, precipitating as rain or snow, then placed back into the ocean.

Geothermal energy

Geothermal energy is the heat that emerges from sub-surface of the earth. It is found within rocks and fluids beneath the earth’s crust and can be found as far down to the earth’s hot molten rock, magma.To produce power from geothermal energy, wells are dredged deep into underground reservoirs to access steams and hot water, which can be used to drive turbines connected to electricity generators.
