Renewable energies are those produced from resources that do not run out or that can be recycled. These energies are often derived from natural sources, such as sun, wind, and water power. Every day of our lives, we utilize energy – to power our electronic gadgets, to illuminate our streets with lamps, to fuel our automobiles with gasoline and diesel.

The quantity of power produced from renewable sources climbed from slightly over 13% in 2012 to 22% the following year, according to a report by the International Energy Agency. Renewable sources of energies are very crucial to the today’s world. Governments and corporations are eager to transition to renewable energies as quickly as possible for several reasons, but the primary one is that fossil fuels are a limited resource.

Furthermore, the non renewable energy sources have adverse impacts towards climate change due to high amount of carbon emissions. For the sake of our healths and the global environment at large, the application and usability of the renewable energy sources is inevitable.

The following are some of the examples of renewable energy sources:

i. Hydroelectricity

It is not a novel idea to use the motion of water to create electricity; we have been doing so for almost a century, and the majority of nations have some type of water-generated electrical source.

ii. Tidal power

Although tidal power is not yet widely used, it has been shown that energy may be produced at sea by responding to the ebb and flow of the seas.

iii. Solar power

One of the most well-known renewable energy sources is solar energy, and many people believe that it should have gained popularity far sooner. It is a very adaptable energy source that can not only produce electricity but also heat water directly and provide light.

iv. Wind Energy

Few nations in the world do not use energy produced by the wind. They are frequently the target of attempts to have them shut down or have planning approval denied, and to many, they are an eyesore that destroys a really beautiful natural vista. Others view them as an excellent method of utilizing an infinite resource produced by the planet's weather systems naturally.

v. Biomass or biofuel

The creation of the fuels we use in our cars—typically diesel—from plants or other organic materials rather than from fossil fuels that are dug up from the earth is known as biofuel. There are two techniques to make biofuels:

i. Directly processing a plant's primary materials to create fuel, such as by removing its natural oils.

ii. Removing leftovers or decaying material that has been produced by natural anaerobic processes (such as broken down by bacteria or algae into an alcohol substance - bioethanol)
