Renewable energy comes from natural sources that replace themselves more quickly than they are used up. Examples of such sources that are continuously replenished are the sun and the wind. There are many different types of renewable energy available to us.

Energy development is the process of supplying enough primary energy sources and secondary energy forms for supply, cost, influence on air and water pollution, and climate change mitigation using renewable energy.

Renewable energy technologies play a crucial role in sustainable development by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy security and providing access to energy to communities that previously lacked it.

By 2024, solar power capacity worldwide is expected to increase by 600 gigawatts (GW), nearly doubling Japan's installed total electricity capacity. The overall amount of renewable electricity is expected to increase by 1200 GW by 2024, which is equal to the US's whole installed capacity.

We can promote renewable energy by reducing car and fossil fuels use, shifting people away from cars towards more sustainable transport modes such as public transport and cycling.
