Renewable Energy sources in Engineering
High costs, environmental pollutions from emissions and unreliability of nonrenewable
energy resources have developed an insight for the world to consider the use of renewable
sources of energy which are cost effective, environmentally friendly and are reliable. There is a
wide range of supply of renewable energy that is available for modern economies as well as
agricultural production. Such renewables are essential inputs in every production sector for
sustainability; hence an encouragement towards their growth is remarkable. Green energy
resources include wind power, hydro energy, biomass, solar energy and other continuing sources
like a waste. The scale of application of these forms of energy in totality is considered global
resources.
Green energy resources are naturally replenished, and their applications promote
sustainable development. Renewable technologies have resulted in the human and economic
development of both remote and rural areas in recent years. Renewable energy resources are
currently considered a backbone to the developing countries. Furthermore, green energy
technologies provide a wide range of employment in the installation as well as managing the
systems. The forms of energy from these sources are clean and efficient in comparison to
nonrenewable sources. There are many authors with numerous publications about renewable
sources of energy. Due to its adverse applications, this text will analyze and annotate the
bibliographies of articles published by different authors.

The article addresses the role of renewable energy sources in the conservation of the
environment. According to the article, renewable energy sources minimize environmental
pollution, help in the production of minimum secondary waste and are sustainable according to
the needs of the society currently and in the future. They are also the best in the mitigation of gas
emissions in greenhouses. The article further explains the role of substituting conventional
energy sources in the reduction of global warming. According to the article, sunlight is the
primary source of energy, and it gets absorbed in the form of wind energy, biomass among other
ways (Panwar, Kaushik and Kothari 2011).

According to the article, renewable energy can play a significant role in the reduction of
emissions from the electricity industry primarily from the power plants. This can be achieved
through solar and wind sources of energy. Saber and Venayagamoorthy further explain that the
main factors contributing to greenhouses gas emissions on earth are transportation and electricity
industries. Therefore, through the application of renewable energy sources, it is possible to
minimize such emissions and thus achieve a better environment (Saber and Venayagamoorthy,
2011p.1229).
