Climate change is one of the most pressing current challenges in terms of ecosystem stability, individual and global health and economy. The emissions of greenhouse gases due to the activities of anthropogenic origin on the combustion of fossil fuels, deforestation and other industrial processes. A renewable energy system converts the energy found in sunlight, wind, falling water, sea waves, geothermal heat or biomass, such as heat or electricity. Most of the renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from sun and wind and can never be exhausted, and therefore they are called renewable. Renewable energy that includes technologies, like solar, wind, hydro and biomass, has really received lots of attention and is identified as an effective strategy to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions and makeshift to a sustainable energy. Renewable energy sources are one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Traditional energy sources are depleting due to the growing population of the world and unlimited demands. Renewable energy sources supplies depend on technological innovation and instrument policy. Renewable energy sources based on coal, fuel, wood and fossil fuel are extensively used for the manufacturing industries like generation of electricity. Growing population increased demand of non-renewable energy resources are depleting and recognition of scientific reasons for the climate change in the global community. There is the need of alternative energy resources to transition from fossil fuels. The exhaustion of these resources, together with the environmental deterioration resulting from their extraction and use, highlights the need for a major transformation in energy production and consumption methods. The non-renewable energy sources are depleting due to the growing population of the world and unlimited demands. Renewable energy sources supplies depend on factors, technological innovation and instrument policy. In this paper we explore how renewable energy could have a positive effect on greenhouse gases and sustainable development by combating the current environmental issues.
