roheenergia

Roheenergia is a term used to describe energy produced from renewable sources with a low environmental footprint. It refers to electricity, heating, and transportation energy derived from sustainable resources and, in many markets, verified through labeling or certification schemes to ensure that the claimed renewable content is real.

The main sources typically included in roheenergia portfolios are wind, solar (photovoltaic and thermal), hydroelectric power, geothermal energy, and modern biomass. Some systems also recognize waste-to-energy or other technologies that meet defined environmental criteria. Certification and guarantees of origin help trace and verify the renewable contribution of energy supplies, enabling consumers and businesses to choose roheenergia products with confidence.

Roheenergia plays a central role in the transition to low-carbon energy systems. Benefits often include reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved local air quality, enhanced energy security through diversification of supply, and potential economic activity in installation, operation, and services. However, challenges remain, such as intermittency and variability of wind and solar, the need for grid upgrades and storage solutions, land use and biodiversity considerations, and the evolving cost and market design as technologies mature.

Policy and market frameworks support roheenergia through a mix of incentives, regulatory standards, and market-based mechanisms. These can include feed-in tariffs, renewable portfolio standards, carbon pricing, and labeling schemes or certificates that authenticate the renewable origin of energy. Consumer access to green tariffs and roheenergia certificates further facilitates demand for renewable energy.
