Las Clean energy is characterized by not polluting or generating waste. Its use has emerged as an alternative that can provide economic and environmental benefits. It is usually confused with renewable energy sources, but in reality some clean energy sources are finite and the production of some renewable energy sources can cause pollution, so they cannot be considered synonyms.
There are also clean energies that come from finite sources, and above all, there are many clean energy sources that are also renewable. These are called green energies. and these mainly include solar photovoltaics, wind energy, green hydrogen, hydropower, geothermal energy, biomass and/or tidal energy.
