3. The Need for Renewable Energy Every year, the world consumes 35 billion barrels of oil, polluting the Earth and depleting our fossil fuel reserves. Scientists estimate that we have already consumed 40% of the world's oil, and at the current rate, we will run out of oil and gas in about 50 years, and coal in about a century. However, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and water are abundant and can provide a sustainable alternative. Image By Pixabay

4. Challenges of Transitioning to Renewable Energy Despite the potential of renewable energy, it currently only meets about 13% of our needs. Achieving 100% renewable energy requires accessibility and affordability. This is a complex problem involving science, engineering, economics, and politics. In this presentation, we will focus on two crucial aspects: electricity and liquid fuels, specifically for transport vehicles. Image By Mike Bird

5. Renewable Energy for Electricity Solar energy offers tremendous potential, with the sun radiating about 173 quadrillion watts of solar energy at the Earth, almost 10,000 times our current needs. However, capturing this energy efficiently and transporting it to densely populated areas poses challenges. Other renewable energy sources like hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass also have limitations based on availability and location. Building a global electrical energy network and developing advanced technologies are crucial for maximizing efficiency and reducing costs. Image By Scott Webb

6. Renewable Energy for Liquid Fuels Liquid fuels derived from oil play a vital role in transportation. Storing renewable energy in an easily transportable form is a scientific challenge. While lithium-ion batteries have improved, they still store significantly less energy compared to gasoline. To power larger vessels like ships and planes, a technological leap is needed to develop higher energy density and better storage solutions. Converting solar energy into chemical energy shows promise but requires further research and innovation to increase its efficiency and viability in the market. Creative solutions, incentives, and global collaboration are essential in achieving a transition to all-renewable energies. Image By Mirko Fabian
