Abstract

Abstract: As global economic growth accelerates, the limitations and environmental costs of traditional fossil fuels—such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas—have become increasingly critical. To mitigate pollution and ensure long-term energy security, non-conventional energy sources have emerged as vital, sustainable alternatives. This paper examines the fundamental types of renewable energy, including solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, and biomass, detailing their specific mechanisms for power generation. While these sources offer significant ecological benefits and help reduce carbon emissions, their widespread adoption is currently hindered by high installation costs, geographical limitations, and technological barriers in developing regions. By analyzing current applications and future prospects, this research concludes that integrated policy support and technological innovation are essential for transitioning to a renewable-led global energy framework
