CHAPTER 9 RENEWABLE ENERGY INTRODUCTIONR enewable ENERGY can be defined initially as any ENERGY source that is derived directly or indirectlyfrom solar ENERGY . In the broadest sense, however, almost all of the ENERGY we use today, including fossilfuels, can be considered a form of solar ENERGY . The most familiar forms of ENERGY , such as wood, oil, gas,and coal, are embodied forms of solar ENERGY gathered, stored, and transformed by natural change due to emissions of GHGs, particularly CO2, becomes an issue when stored solarenergy is converted to useable forms of ENERGY (heat, electricity, fuels, chemicals) at a rate far exceedingthe rate of formation.
