  • Renewable Energy Sources – The Basics
    Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources such as water, sunlight, wind, rain, tides, geothermal sources and biomass sources as energy crops. Renewable energy sources are energy sources that are continually and naturally replenished in a short period of time. In contrast, fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are non-renewable. Once a deposit of these fuels is [...]
  • 6 Benefits of Renewable Energy not Captured in Standard Economic Accounts
    Social and economic development Production of renewable energy, particularly biomass, can provide economic development and employment opportunities, especially in rural areas, that otherwise have limited opportunities for economic growth. Renewable energy can thus help reduce poverty in rural areas and reduce pressures for urban migration. Land restoration Growing biomass for energy on degraded lands can provide the incentives and financing [...]
