Abstract

In current periods, renewable fuel generation and its utilization have become a big challenge for the world. There are many renewable energy resources reported and there are technical challenges noted for their generation at high efficiency at a lower cost. These challenges in developing and underdeveloped countries are greater with limited resources and technical skills, devices, or procedures. The massive quantity of fuel utilization finds itself in developed countries. This is due to the number of developmental activities and industrial growth. Another factor for fuel utilization is the exponential rate of population that needs fuel utilization for their daily needs. We are rich in resources of energy that require the utilization of fuel energy production, but it needs the advanced levels of technical approaches or devices for energy harnessing at a lower cost with high efficiency. We are continuously utilizing non-renewable energy like coal, natural gases, and petroleum oils that created the environmental degradation trends and natural health issues for the world from ancient periods. The authors will discuss biomass, the solar system, and wind resources for renewable energy generation and make it our habit to utilize this renewable energy to maintain a green ...
