Renewable Energy

Renewable energy is generated from renewable resources and waste materials, which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, like sunlight, rain, tides, wind, water waves, and geothermal energy. The rapid increase of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and also the limitation of non-renewable resources have accelerated the research and use of renewable energies. Various forms of renewable energies are biofuels, biomass, hydro thermal energy, geothermal energy, solar energy, ocean energy, wind power etc.
