Renewable energy refers to energy sources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass. Unlike fossil fuels, renewables produce little to no greenhouse gas emissions, making them central to efforts to combat climate change and transition to more sustainable energy systems. Research in renewable energy explores everything from improving the efficiency and storage of solar panels and wind turbines to integrating variable energy sources into power grids. As global demand for clean energy grows, innovation in this field is shaping the future of how we generate, distribute, and consume power.
