What is Renewable Energy?
Renewable energy comes from natural sources such as the wind or sun, and either lasts forever or can be replenished over time. ‘Renewables’ can provide us with clean electricity, heating and transport fuels.There are many forms of renewable energy, including solar, wind, hydro, biomass (from plants and trees), wave, tidal and geothermal (which harnesses the heat of the earth’s core). Australia is lucky to have excellent reserves of all forms of renewable energy.
