Renewable Energy
Renewable energy refers to energy sources that are not depleted by their use, including biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar and wind. Renewable energy generation requires significant land area and can impact ecosystems and land-use options. Renewable energy also requires water to grow energy crops, drive turbines, manufacture and clean solar panels and wind turbines.
