What is the concept of green electricity?

Green electricity means that in the process of producing electricity, its carbon dioxide emission is zero or close to zero, because it has lower impact on the environment than electricity produced in other ways (such as thermal power generation). The main sources of green electricity are solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy and geothermal energy. In China, solar energy and wind energy are the main sources. According to the statistical report of the International Energy Agency, countries that implemented green electricity price in 20 12 include Australia, the United States, Austria, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

clean energy

Clean energy, clean energy or green energy refers to energy that does not emit pollutants. The narrow definition is renewable energy, which refers to energy with renewable raw materials, such as hydropower, wind power, solar energy, biomass energy (biogas), geothermal energy, tidal energy, seawater temperature difference power generation and so on. At present, if the two are almost established, renewable energy has no possibility of energy exhaustion, so it is paid more and more attention by many countries, especially those with energy shortage.
