Innovations in Renewable Energy and Environmental Management

Abstract

The world has entered the wave of sustainable energy systems as never before as the world experiences two crisis; climate change and environmental degradation. The world energy profiles are not only being altered by renewable energy and the environmental management, the economic, societal and ecological agendas are also being re-defined. The article will examine how the technological innovation can evolve so as to enhance efficiency in renewable energy and sustainable environmental practices. Based on secondary data due to the efforts of the international energy agencies, academic literature, and global development reports, the study identifies the role of the improvement of solar, wind, bioenergy, and hydropower system in cleaner production and less carbon imprint. Also, it examines the areas of usage of digital technologies in energy governance and environmental monitoring improvisation, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The findings indicate that policy-based innovation on renewable energy should be embraced to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and 13 (Climate Action). The research paper makes finds a conclusion that the sole way out is the promotion of the technological innovation, policy modification and global cooperation that would guarantee a sound and sustainable future.
