The global energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation as the world increasingly explores renewable sources over traditional fossil fuels. Conventional energy relies heavily on limited resources like coal, oil, and natural gas, which involves extensive mining and environmental degradation.

While conventional energy sources like coal, oil, gas, and nuclear power are limited, they continue to account for the majority of the energy market.

Overview

The fast pace of innovation in distributed generation technologies, the need for increasingly empowered consumers and communities
There are a number of factors pointing to fundamental change for sustainable energy through a decentralised approach:
Based on their existing and forecast consumption, fossil fuel reserves are predicted to last between 50 and 120 years. As its name implies, renewable energy is inexhaustible and, in at least one form, is accessible wherever in the world.
Burning fossil fuels that were deposited millions of years ago is a common practice in traditional energy generation, which takes the form of coal, oil, and natural gas.
