- Solar Energy: Solar energy harnesses the power of the sun's rays to generate electricity or heat. Photovoltaic (PV) cells, solar panels, and solar thermal systems are some of the technologies used to tap into solar energy.
- Wind Energy: Wind energy uses wind turbines to convert wind kinetic energy into electricity. Wind farms, both onshore and offshore, are being developed to harness this energy source.
- Hydrogen Energy: Hydrogen energy involves the production of hydrogen gas through electrolysis, which can be used as a clean-burning fuel for transportation, power generation, and industrial applications.
- Geothermal Energy: Geothermal energy utilizes the heat from the Earth's core to generate electricity or provide heating and cooling.
- Biomass Energy: Biomass energy is derived from organic matter such as wood, crops, and waste, which can be burned to produce electricity or heat.
- Tidal and Wave Energy: Tidal and wave energy harness the power of ocean tides and waves to generate electricity.
