RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable energy is any type of useful energy that comes from sources which are naturally replenished on a short time scale. Most sources of this clean energy are driven by the Sun. Hydro-electric, solar and wind make up the largest sectors. Geothermal and biomass also provide renewable clean energy. Projects4climate studies developments in the renewable energy sector and supports projects transitioning to clean energy. Renewable energy is a vital aspect of Sustainable Development and forms Goal 7 in the UN SDG's.

Hydroelectric power
Hydroelectric power produces the largest sector of renewable energy. It has many benefits, including on demand energy with zero emissions and low unit cost of electricity produced. However, there are a number of environmental and human issues that need to be managed and large scale alterations of the flood plan can have negative impacts.
Solar Energy & Photovoltaic cells
Nothing epitomizes renewable energy more than Solar power. It has huge potential to help reduce GHG emissions. The range of technologies and applications is vast so please click below to explore its potential and the ways Prjects4climate is using solar power.
Wind Farms
Wind power provides clean carbon free energy and can produce power at similar costs to fossil fuels. Offshore wind farms have less of an impact on natural habitats and provide a more consistent power supply, but are more expensive to install and maintain.
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy has huge potential in many countries. It is used in Geothermal power and direct geothermal heating.
