Prospect of Renewable Energy due to COVID-19 and Opportunity for Transition to Future Fuels

Abstract

enewable energy is the energy of the future because it is the best long-term alternative for fossil fuels, which are facing numerous issues, particularly from an environmental standpoint. The world has established a number of targets to address the issues posed by the conventional energy sector. The United Nations has set 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030; previously, many countries were not on track to meet these goals; however, the Covid-19 pandemic, which not only affected people's health, but also the energy sector, has demonstrated how quickly we are accustomed to change and can respond quickly and collectively with a common goal. As a result, the focus of this article is on the COVID-19's influence on the RE industry and its implications for future greener fuels. We talked about the opportunities that have arisen as a result of the COVID-19 situation that can help with the shift to alternative fuels. Finally, the problems and opportunities facing the creation of more environmentally friendly transportation fuels are identified.
