The five major types of renewable energy are: Solar Energy: Harnesses the power of the sun to produce heat and electricity. It is the most abundant of all energy resources and can even be harnessed in cloudy weather. Wind Energy: Converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electric energy by spinning the blades of wind turbines. It is the largest producer of renewable electricity in both the UK and the US. Hydropower: Uses the energy of flowing water to spin a turbine and generate electricity. It is the largest renewable electricity source, responsible for 15.3% of global electricity generation in 2021. Biomass Energy: Produced from nonfossilized plant materials and organic matter burned as a fuel. It includes biofuels, municipal solid waste, and biogas. Geothermal Energy: Derives heat from the Earth's core to produce electricity and heat. It has a low levelized cost of energy and is considered a renewable resource. These renewable energy sources are natural, self-replenishing, and have a low- or zero-carbon footprint, making them vital in the race to tackle climate change.

Among the renewable energy resources Solar and Wind are the most cheaper. #solar #wind #renewableenergy #sustinability

A transition to renewable energy is critical for achieving Net Zero. Governments and energy companies are key players in this transition, but every purchaser has a level of power and influence. Understanding the transition to renewables, including both the generation of power, and building out the supporting infrastructure, will help build understanding of a company's Net Zero target dependencies. The transition also provides huge opportunities for companies able to provide green energy solutions. As a starter, the below infographic and article from Visual Capitalist provides a helpful overview of the five main renewable energy sources and the global use and average cost from 2021. As a comparison, the National Grid states the UK has transitioned from 2% renewable energy in 1991 to 38% in 2022 - 27% Wind, 5% Biomass, 4% Solar, and 2% Hydro. #netzerostrategy #netzero #renewableenergy #understandingESG

Energy transformation 

Indeed, the transition to renewable energy requires not only technological innovation, but also effective project management strategies. According to my experience, AWP, for example, fits perfectly into the energy and construction industries, providing efficient project management during the transition to renewable energy sources. These techniques can significantly optimize route planning, load balancing, and driving cost savings in infrastructure projects.
