Renewable Energy Industry

Renewable energy industry is the energy industry focusing on the use of renewable energy sources. Solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, and geothermal power refer to renewable energy. Their use has a lot of benefits for both people and nature.

Renewable energy plays a key role in the decarbonization of the energy system and is absolutely complimentary energy source. It doesn't need to be mined or produced. Renewable energy sources provide energy and are nature-friendly. They allow avoiding temperature rising and cope with negative effects caused by extensive use of fossil fuels. Renewable energy sources allow reducing CO2 emissions, decreasing local air pollution, and do not consume oxygen.

The rate of use of renewable energy sources rises and it is incredibly useful today. Because the active burning of coal, oil, and other fossil fuels for the last decades has led to the extreme level of greenhouse gases. The fossil fuel emissions of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide greatly affect environmental purity and contribute to global warming. The last one is a serious problem because it causes unexpected weather effects, rising sea levels, shifting wildlife populations, and many more negative impacts. In turn, there are no harmful emissions and planet-warming when renewable sources are used. Moreover, the use of most renewable energy sources is a rational and cost-effective solution.

Example 1. Renewable Energy Industry

Solar energy is the most popular source from a variety of renewable energy sources. It is based on the direct use of solar radiation to generate energy. Solar energy is environmentally friendly and does not produce harmful waste during extraction and use. The use of solar energy is actively developed around the world. China, Japan, and the U.S. occupy the leading positions.

Hydroelectric power and tidal energy are two technologies of using water sources. Hydropower is also one of the world's biggest sources of renewable energy. China, Brazil, Canada, the U.S., and Russia are the leading hydropower producers.

The use of wind energy is one of the most prospective areas today. Because the potential of wind is more than 100 times greater than ones of all Earth's rivers. One of the most common ways to convert the wind flows into energy is to use wind turbines. The wind turbines convert the energy of the flow into rotational motion, then it is transmitted to generators to produce an electric current. The U.S., China, and Germany are leading wind energy producers at the moment.

Biomass energy including biofuels like ethanol, biodiesel, biogas, wood is mainly used by developing countries. Biomass energy requires little processing and is available for areas with a low economic level. The most widespread generation of energy from biomass is in Kenya, India, and Brazil. Some developing countries use a combination of biomass and solar energy.

Geothermal energy derives from the Earth’s internal heat. Underground reservoirs of hot water and steam are used to generate electricity. Unlike solar and wind energy, geothermal energy is always available but the monitoring of the quantity of released hydrogen sulfide is required. Using geothermal sources is widespread in Indonesia, China, Japan, Kenya, New Zealand, Italy, France, Lithuania, Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Philippines, Tajikistan.

Example 2. Renewable Energy Library Design Elements

The Energy Industry Infographics solution from the Business Infographics area of ConceptDraw Solution Park is time-saving and helpful when designing infographics for the energy industry. It is useful for making an overview of the renewable energy industry and its advantages over the non-renewable energy industry.

The Energy Industry Infographics solution includes a lot of prime examples of read-made samples and examples and large collection of libraries including design elements - renewable energy, power engineering, solid fuel, liquid fuel, nuclear power, and many more.

Example 3. Smart Grid

The samples you see on this page are infographics made for the energy industry. They were created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software using the Energy Industry Infographics Solution for ConceptDraw Solution Park. An experienced user spent 10-15 minutes creating each of these samples.

Use the Energy Industry Infographics Solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software to develop your own professional-looking diagrams related to the energy industry quickly, simply, and effectively.

The possibility of exporting to a variety of popular graphical formats (PNG, JPEG, JPG, GIF, TIF, TIFF, BMP, DIB, EMF, SVG) and file formats like Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT), Adobe Acrobat (PDF), Microsoft Visio (VDX, VSDX), Adobe Flash (SWF), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), HTML, opens wide opportunities for you.
