Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished). About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewables, with 10% coming from traditional biomass , which is mainly used for heating , and 3.4% from hydroelectricity .

Renewable energy often displaces conventional fuels in four areas: electricity generation, hot water/space heating, transportation, and rural (off-grid) energy services. [22] Although almost all forms of renewable energy cause much fewer carbon emissions than fossil fuels, the term is not synonymous with low-carbon energy.
Energy Autonomy: The Economic, Social & Technological Case for Renewable Energy is a 2006 book written by Hermann Scheer. [1] It was first published on 1 December 2006 through Routledge and discusses the topic of renewable energy.

Greenhouse Solutions with Sustainable Energy is a 2007 book by Australian academic Mark Diesendorf.The book puts forward a set of policies and strategies for implementing the most promising clean energy technologies by all spheres of government, business and community organisations.
In the report, the IPCC said "as infrastructure and energy systems develop, in spite of the complexities, there are few, if any, fundamental technological limits to integrating a portfolio of renewable energy technologies to meet a majority share of total energy demand in locations where suitable renewable resources exist or can be supplied".
