The term clean energy typically refers to renewable and non-polluting energy sources. Renewable energy is derived from natural resources that can be replenished constantly. Renewable energy takes various forms and includes electricity and heat generated from solar, wind, ocean, hydropower, biomass, geothermal resources and biofuels and hydrogen derived from renewable resources. In addition, certain clean coal technologies and energy efficiency measures also fall under the broad definition of clean energy initiatives. The term Clean Energy solutions broadly refers to systems which promote, enhance or advance the energy generation, transport, storage and use so as to reduce the environmental footprint and decrease energy intensity. Such systems include products, services, technologies and regulatory and market-based incentives. These have typically focused on the six key sectors: power; transport; industry; buildings; carbon sequestration; and carbon capture and storage.
