Renewable Energy

Last Updated: 01.12.2025

Renewable energy is energy that comes continuously and without end from nature. This energy is obtained from natural phenomena such as sunlight, wind, and flowing water. Renewable energy sources are inexhaustible, like a toy that renews itself as it is used. For this reason, they are crucial for protecting our planet.



Why Is Renewable Energy Important?

Some of the energy sources we use globally, such as coal and gasoline, deplete over time and harm our environment when consumed. However, renewable energy sources are clean, do not pollute our surroundings, and are inexhaustible. Thus, we can protect our natural environment. Moreover, these energy sources enable us to generate electricity, heat our homes, and power our vehicles.


What Are the Sources of Renewable Energy?

Solar Energy: Electricity and heat are derived from the sun’s rays using solar panels.


Wind Energy: Large turbines harness the power of the wind to generate electricity.


Hydropower: Electricity is produced from the movement of rivers and flowing water.


Geothermal Energy: Energy is extracted from hot water and steam beneath the Earth’s surface.


Biomass Energy: Energy is generated from plants, trees, and waste materials.


Renewable energy sources are both environmentally friendly and continuously available. Therefore, they are vital for meeting our future energy needs.

Renewable energy is clean energy that is continuously and endlessly supplied by nature. It is obtained from sources such as the sun, wind, water and geothermal hot water. These energy types are inexhaustible and do not pollute our environment. Unlike fuels such as coal and gasoline, they protect nature. Electricity is generated using solar panels and wind turbines. Additionally, biomass and geothermal energy are also used. Through renewable energy, we protect our natural environment and meet our energy needs in a sustainable manner. Therefore, renewable energy is of great importance for our future.
