Abstract
The book chapter “Renewable Energy and Sustainable Transportation” delves into the intricate interplay between renewable energy solutions and the transformation of transportation systems toward sustainability. It explores the profound impact of shifting from fossil fuels to renewable sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change. The chapter also delves into the integration of electric vehicles and advanced biofuels, showcasing their potential to revolutionize transportation by minimizing air pollution and decreasing dependence on finite resources. Through a comprehensive analysis of policy frameworks, technological advancements, and real-world case studies, this chapter offers valuable insights into the symbiotic relationship between renewable energy adoption and the establishment of eco-friendly transportation networks. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges, opportunities, and synergies that emerge at the nexus of renewable energy and sustainable transportation, ultimately contributing to a cleaner and more resilient future.
