Abstract

The lack of available space for renewable energy installations is a major obstacle in urban areas. The equilibrium between city energy demand and renewable energy density serves as the basis for our analytical methodology for decarbonized urban environments. Waves of innovation in the energy sector could come from a variety of sources in the future. These sources include solar electricity generated in space, nuclear power facilities that can be disassembled and reused, and deep geothermal systems. If these techniques are put into practice, greenhouse gas emissions and the need for clean water and air may decrease. To meet the energy needs of modern cities while also lowering their carbon footprint, widespread adoption of renewable energy sources is essential. Improvements in efficiency, usability, cost-effectiveness, accessibility, and sustainability are all on the horizon for renewable energy sources.
