The role of renewable energy in reducing carbon footprint

The renewable energy sector is critical in the fight against climate change. How do you see renewable energy contributing to reducing the carbon footprint on a global scale?

Absolutely, renewable energy is crucial in reducing the global carbon footprint by providing clean, sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Unlike coal, oil, and natural gas, renewables like solar, wind, and hydropower generate electricity without emitting greenhouse gases. By replacing carbon-intensive energy sources, renewable energy helps significantly lower global CO₂ emissions, a major driver of climate change.

Each megawatt of solar energy installed can offset approximately 1,000 tons of CO₂ annually, making it essential for reducing emissions, decreasing reliance on fossil fuels, and playing a key role in achieving global carbon reduction targets.
