Renewables-based refers to energy systems, technologies, or policies that rely primarily on renewable energy sources to meet demand. Renewable energy encompasses sources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Unlike fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—renewables are sustainable because they produce little to no greenhouse gas emissions during operation and do not deplete finite resources.
The term "renewables-based" is often used to describe energy infrastructure, such as power plants, grids, or
Adopting a renewables-based approach is driven by environmental, economic, and energy security considerations. Renewables reduce carbon
Challenges in achieving a fully renewables-based system include intermittency—renewables like solar and wind are not always
Countries and regions worldwide are increasingly committing to renewables-based transitions, with targets like net-zero emissions often
