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 .
Energy materials are used for energy harvesting, storage, and conversion. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Applications of energy materials include photovoltaics , as well as piezoelectronics . The study of energy materials is usually interdisciplinary , uniting materials scientists , chemists , physicists , biologists , and engineers .
Books about or featuring the environment as a prominent theme have proliferated especially since the middle of the twentieth century. The rise of environmental science , which has encouraged interdisciplinary approaches to studying the environment, and the environmental movement , which has increased public and political awareness of humanity's ...
