Abstract
The growing urgency to combat climate change and the finite nature of traditional fossil fuel reserves have prompted a worldwide call for a transition to sustainable energy alternatives. Green energy, derived from renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal, emerges as an essential solution to address environmental concerns while fostering economic development. This comprehensive review critically examines the current landscape of green energy technologies, exploring their potential impact, inherent challenges, and the crucial role they play in shaping a sustainable future. The review discusses issues such as intermittency, energy storage, and infrastructure requirements, proposing innovative solutions and policy considerations to overcome these hurdles. The review synthesizes the current state of green energy technologies, addressing their potential, challenges, and overall impact on sustainable development.
