This is up from just 8 percent in 2008. Globally, renewable energy sources now account for more than 25 percent of total electricity generation. Renewable energy sources are also being used in the chemical and agricultural industries. Renewable chemicals are derived from renewable sources such as plants, algae, and bacteria. These renewable chemicals can be used to create a variety of products, including plastics, solvents, and fuels. Renewable agriculture is the practice of using renewable energy sources to power
Renewable polymers are polymers that are derived from renewable resources such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. Examples of renewable polymers include polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and cellulose–based polymers. These polymers are biodegradable and can be used in a variety of applications, including packaging, medical devices, and textiles.
The future of renewable energy is bright. With the world’s population growing and the demand for energy increasing, renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important. Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower are becoming more efficient and cost–effective, making them a viable option for powering homes and businesses. The use of renewable energy sources is growing rapidly. In the United States & Canada, renewable energy sources now account for nearly 20 percent of total electricity generation
