Renewable energy is energy from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind. A fossil fuel such as oil or gas can not be reused after it is burnt so therefore is not a renewable energy.

People have become too reliant on the use of fossil fuels and that supply is fast running out. The answer to all of these problems is renewable energy. Energy such as solar, wind energy and water power is generated from natural energy sources and unlike fossil fuels, these sources of energy never run out. Using renewable energy helps to protect our planet by reducing the amount of carbon emissions we produce. This source of energy has a much lower impact on the enviroment.

Being energy efficient can also have it’s financial benefits and could reduce your energy bills. Furthermore, there are government financial incentive to promote the use of renewable heat, which includes the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive). Switching to heating systems that use eligible energy sources can help the UK reduce its carbon emissions and meet its renewable energy targets.
