Clean energy technologies in sustainable development of energy, agriculture, food security and environment

Abstract

It is now a well-established fact that the rapid industrialization, economic growth, human civilization and its progress, restrain inadequate availability of energy demand to meet basic needs of the society such as communications, health, shelter, transportation, etc. The implementation of the transition towards a low carbon economy requires measures transforming the energy and transport system. In addition to the climate challenges, we are now facing challenges related to high energy prices and the high risk of supply shortages. Renewable resources prove to be of strategic importance to achieve a sustainable energetic supplying. So far environmental pollution is concerned, energy efficiency and utilization of renewable energies, seems to be a better route to follow. As renewable energies are becoming a growing part of the energy portfolio, focus is being put on increased performance of a sustainable renewable energy sources World-wide and more so in the context of the developing countries. The present paper will focus its attention predominantly on comprehensive review of most appropriate and advanced environmental friendly renewable technologies best suited to reduce huge amount of carbon emission into the atmosphere, global temperature rise, threats of climatic changes, etc.
