Renewable energy

Renewable energy is energy from a resource that is replaceable by existing flows of energy, such as sunshine, wind, water, biological processes and geothermal heat flows. Bellona believes that major political and financial investments in renewable energy sources will be among the most important measures we can take in order to fight climate change.
