RENEWABLE & GREEN ENERGY
A subset of renewable energy , green energy – generated from natural resources like sunlight , wind or water – includes renewable energy resources that offer the greatest environmental benefit . So , despite all green energy resources being renewable , not all renewable resources are considered green .
The wider renewable power sector is going through an unprecedented spurt of growth – turbocharged as businesses and countries seek to secure energy as a result of the global energy crisis . This factor is one of the main contributors to the world being set to add as much renewable power to its arsenal in the next five years as it did in the last 20 .
Numerous green energy solutions are driving positive change , says Rönesans Holdings ’ President of Energy Group and Board Member of Rönesans Enerji Emre Hatem , namely energy storage and sustainable transportation .
“ Integrating intermittent renewable sources , such as solar and wind , into the
RENEWABLE ENERGY IN FIGURES
Worldwide , renewable power capacity is expected to grow by 2,400 gigawatts ( GW ) between 2022 and 2027 , according to the International Energy Agency ( IEA ). This figure from 2022 – 30 % higher than what was estimated a year prior , the IEA says – is equal to the entire power capacity of China .
The report also suggests that renewables are set to account for more than 90 % of global electricity expansion over the next five years , overtaking coal to become the largest source of global electricity by early 2025 .
grid heavily relies on advances in energy storage technologies , especially batteries ,” he explains . “ Energy storage solutions play a vital role in enhancing grid stability and reliability by storing excess energy when it is abundant and releasing it when needed .
