Blog Renewable energy : The basis of all development
Today, the demand for energy is increasing rapidly. This has contributed not only to a massive use of natural resources, through unsustainable methods of energy production and consumption, but also to a large-scale degradation of the environment.
As a result, developing “clean” energies and diversifying resources are important issues for our society. The energy sector is in full development and needs competent and trained professionals in the field of nuclear and renewable energies.
Here’s what you need to know about renewable energy and how you can help make a difference in those around you. We tell you all about it!
What is renewable energy ?
An energy is said to be renewable when it is produced by a source that nature constantly renews, contrary to an energy that depends on sources that are exhausted. Renewable energies are very diverse but they all come from two main natural sources :
- The Sun : it emits radiation that can be transformed into electricity or heat, it generates zones of uneven temperature and pressure that are the source of winds, it generates the water cycle, it allows the growth of plants and the generation of biomass .
- The Earth, whose internal heat can be recovered at the surface.
Renewable energy and non-renewable energy: what’s the difference?
Non-renewable energy, in contrast, is energy produced by burning fossil fuels that are becoming scarce: coal, oil, natural gas, etc. Although reserves are vast, they are not inexhaustible and their stocks tend to disappear little by little.
What is the impact on society ?
By allowing more decentralized production, at the level of territories and even of each household, in combination with digital progress, renewable energies are likely to gradually bring about profound changes in society. Energy is everywhere in our daily lives and simple gestures can help us save it.
For all the inhabitants of the planet, in both developed and developing countries, without energy there would be no drinking water, no hospitals, no schools, no housing, no means of transportation…
Therefore, the proper functioning of society and our well-being require reliable energy sources that meet our needs for heat, light and mechanical power. Renewable energies are destined to play an increasing role in our energy supply. The good distribution of renewable energy sources, especially biomass, hydroelectricity, solar and wind power, makes them an important asset for our country, especially in rural areas where they can improve the economic situation and quality of life of the population, create local jobs and contribute to alleviate the burden on the environment.
In sum, renewable energies are one of the potential choices, even the best alternative as long as they do not contribute to environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, they are a real locomotive of economic and social development, especially in a developing country like Morocco where a large part of the population lives in very difficult conditions, especially in rural areas.
By championing renewable energies or by using them around you , you can accelerate the transition to a clean energy future. Even if you are not yet in a position to install solar panels, you may be able to opt for electricity from a clean energy source.
