Renewable Energy: Reality And Challenges In Algeria

Authors : Benmoussa Nabil .

Abstract

Energy is the pillar of growth and development. With rapid population growth and increasing global interest in environmental issues, renewable energy has become a focal point. The study addresses the global status of renewable energy, focusing on policies to promote renewable energy in Algeria. The study concluded that renewable energy includes sustainable, clean, reliable, and abundant sources that primarily contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), mitigating climate change, enhancing energy security, reducing costs, creating jobs, and promoting sustainable development. These advantages have led Algeria to launch promising projects to promote renewable energy. However, efforts have focused on harnessing solar energy while neglecting other abundant renewable energy sources, such as wind and biomass, thereby necessitating incentives for the private sector to invest in this promising sector.
