Abstract

Renewable energy technologies have existed since the earliest days of energy conservation and preservation, which have been critical to the development of modern energy conservation plans around the globe. Although the earliest applications of wind, water, and solar power date back to the second millennium, the development of renewable energy has transformed into the present, with centuries of invention and adaptation of various types of wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, and bioenergy. This paper will record the history of renewable energy technologies, including critical milestones, technological advances, and the socio-political pressures that have driven their uptake. Moreover, it examines how these developments have helped the world work towards energy efficiency and the minimization of carbon emissions. The potential of renewable energy for the development of sustainable energy systems is argued, with particular focus on its role in meeting the global climate agenda, addressing energy source variability, and enhancing energy security. Based on the different metric analyses, solar energy has an adoption rate of 30%, an LCOE of 7%, and an Annual Energy production of 100%. Wind energy possesses an adoption rate of 25%, an LCOE of 4% and an Annual 75%. The hydropower adoption rate is 20%, the LCOE is 5%, and the annual energy production is 80%. The adoption rate, LCOE, and Annual Energy output of biomass are 10%, 8%, and 50%, respectively. With the historical background and technological transformation of renewable energy, we can examine its current position and prospects for developing an energy-efficiency policy in a sustainable, low-carbon global economy.
