A The Adoption of Renewable Energy Technologies, Benefits, and Challenges: Mini-Review

Abstract

Due to a growing understanding of the environmental and financial advantages of these technologies, the adoption of Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) is accelerating globally. By reducing dependency on Fossil Fuels (FFs) and reducing their detrimental effects on the environment, RETs like solar, wind, and hydropower can provide clean and sustainable sources of energy. These technologies are being adopted thanks to regulatory incentives, technological development, rising public demand, and more public knowledge. Wider acceptance is still hindered by concerns including some technologies' intermittent nature and expensive upfront prices. In general, RET adoption is crucial for building a more robust and sustainable energy system and tackling the world's climate catastrophe. This article summarizes the main benefits and challenges of RET and is considered to be beneficial to scholars in the field of renewable energy systems.
