To power the world efficiently with a sustainable and a reliable future, Renewable energy or clean energy is the solution. Clean energy revolution is displacing 500 years of fossil fuels to lower carbon emissions as well as other types of pollution. Due to experts in the field, innovative technology, and robust software, the cost of the energy is down. Renewable energy utilization is on the rise around the world because of industrialization. Still, the world relies on petroleum oil and coal to meet demand. Burning many fossil fuels creates substantial CO2 emission into the atmosphere-can be catastrophic. For example, concern of climate change due to Green Gas Emissions (GHG). A viable option to this problem would be to use Renewable energy (RE) in exchange to fuel burning. The objective of the work is to investigate the types of Renewable, the function of Renewable energy sources to mitigate CO2 Emission, the potential for developing country to scale back CO2 emission and the problems associated with applying RE in third world countries.
