It is seen as the energy power house, and our goal in the 21st Century. It represents a realistic upcoming revolution. Renewable energy contributes to clean water and air, helps fight climate change, fosters energy independence and security.

Renewable energy helps to create jobs, new industries, builds access to community development in which CreatingNrg actively participates, and is backed by the European Commission. The Commission’s proposal for The Directive on the promotion of the use of renewable energy, targets 20% of Europe's energy to be produced from renewable sources by 2020.

Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished). In 2006, about 18% of global final energy consumption came from renewables, with 13% coming from traditional biomass, which is mainly used for heating, and 3% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro, modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels) accounted for another 2.4% and are growing very rapidly
