What is the Renewable Energy? : 

What is the Renewable Energy? Period examples: Fossil Energy (petrol renewable period millions of years) Trees Energy (wood renewable period 10 years) Solar energy (heat or electricity renewable daily) the Energy that is naturally renewed within a short period of time with respect of the human being age.

Slide 13: 

How Can we benefit from these renewable energies in Lebanon??? -Wind Farms for electricity generation in Areas where wind speed exceeds 10 km/hr (Hills) -Wind Energy for well water pumping. -Biogas from Solid wastes (Landfills) -Hydropower from Dams. -Solar Heating energy (very promising) -Solar Electrical Energy (expensive) - Trees wood Energy needs large areas (profitable on low scale)

Impacts of well use of renewable energy : 

Impacts of well use of renewable energy 1- Reduction of 20% of the electrical Bill. 2- Reduction of 25% of the Environment degradation. 3- Reduction of 15% of the national Health Bill 4- Reduction of the climate Change. 5- Reduction of the global warming effect.
