Green energy, also called renewable or clean energy, comes from natural sources like sun, wind, water, and Earth's heat, offering sustainable power with minimal pollution and greenhouse gases, crucial for combating climate change by reducing fossil fuel reliance. Key types include solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass, providing power with little to no environmental harm, though large projects like dams can have local impacts.

Types of Green Energy
Solar: -
Captures sunlight using panels or thermal systems.
Wind Power: -
Uses turbines to convert wind's kinetic energy into electricity..
Hydropower: -
Generates power from flowing water, often using dams.
Geothermal: -
Harnesses heat from the Earth's core for heating and electricity.
Biomass: -
Uses organic matter (plants, wood waste) for energy.
Why Green Energy Matters
Reduces Pollution: -
Significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels.
Combats Climate Change:-
A key strategy to mitigate global warming.
Sustainability: -
Uses resources that replenish naturally, ensuring long-term availability.
Energy Security: -
Diversifies energy sources, reducing dependence on finite resources.
Green vs. Renewable vs. Clean Energy
Renewable: -
Energy from sources that replenish naturally (e.g., sun, wind).
Clean:-
Energy that produces little to no pollution.
Green: -":
Often used interchangeably with renewable and clean, but emphasizes no harm to the environment, meaning it's both renewable and clean. Not all renewables are perfectly green (e.g., large dams can harm ecosystems), but green energy aims for minimal impact.
T
Renewable energy (also called green energy) is energy made from renewable natural resources that are replenished on a human timescale.
Reached over 200 GW of renewable capacity, with non-fossil sources making up about 50% of total installed capacity (around 485 GW) by mid-2025, ahead of 2030 targets..
