What is Green Energy Sustainability?

Nowadays, the majority of the energy we use comes from fossil fuel resources such as coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear power. All of these energy sources consume the fuel that produces the energy and all of these create adverse effects to our environment. This is the reason why many people endeavor to seek green energy solutions to avoid further damages to our environment.

Green energy also referred as renewable energy does not consume natural resources, but instead harness the energy found in nature. Solar energy is the harnessing of energy from sunlight. Nowadays solar energy is the commonly used renewable energy Wind energy is another commonly used renewable energy and one of the ancient ways of harnessing energy. It uses wind turbines for energy production. Hydroelectric energy is the energy from moving water. Hydropower plants are usually in the form of large dams. The only problem with it is that it destroys habitats and displaces people if poorly managed. Geothermal energy is known as thermal energy which comes from the earth’s crust. The heat under the earth is used for generating electricity. And the best so far is the waste to energy systems, wherein it destroys and converts waste materials into clean green energy.

The best part about green energy is that it helps in conserving our environment while providing the need for clean energy. If we fully developed it could finally replace our dependency on fossil fuels at the same time will provide a more sustainable future for all of us.

Aside of maintaining the balance of nature, it is also important to secure sustainability without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Consuming natural resources that are generating greenhouse gasses and causing global warming is not a sustainable solution for producing energy. Green energy doesn’t produce greenhouse gasses and doesn’t consume resources. It is the answer for ensuring sustainability from energy sources.

In addition, the great way to generate green energy is through biosphere technology, a waste to energy system. With this technology both problems on energy and waste management can be solved without harming our natural environment. Biosphere technology eliminates and converts garbage into green energy and other marketable by products. Its process has passed U.S. and European atmospheric emissions standards thus it is considered to be ecological.
