Exploring the most common renewable sources and their global usage.
Solar power harnesses sunlight through photovoltaic panels to produce clean, abundant electricity, offering low operating costs and scalability for homes and large-scale farms in the renewable energy revolution. Wind power converts kinetic wind energy via large turbines into emission-free electricity, though intermittent and weather-dependent, it scales effectively in windy areas for national grids and offshore use.
| Solar Power | Wind Power |
|---|---|
| Solar energy captures sunlight using photovoltaic panels to generate clean electricity. It is widely used globally due to its abundance, low operating costs, and scalability for homes and large farms, driving the renewable energy revolution. | Wind power utilizes large turbines to convert kinetic wind energy into electricity. Though intermittent and dependent on weather, it scales effectively in windy regions, providing a reliable, emission-free source for national grids and offshore installations. |
Hydropower harnesses energy from water controlled by dams, providing a reliable renewable source. Geothermal energy draws from the Earth's internal heat to generate steady baseload power, making both options dependable renewables.

--- Speaker Notes: Visual of dams for hydropower and geothermal plants. Hydropower is controllable; geothermal provides steady baseload from Earth's heat.
Renewables play a pivotal role in addressing climate change by drastically reducing worldwide greenhouse gas emissions and advancing the Paris Agreement's global targets. They also enable efficient electrification in heat and transport sectors while driving rapid deployment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
In 2022, renewable energy accounted for 30% of global electricity share while creating over 12 million jobs worldwide in the sector. Bioenergy and hydro remain significant contributors to renewable energy in many countries.
