Abstract :
Renewable energy, also called reversible energy, is a type of energy that its source, unlike non-renewable (fossil fuels), is capable of being re-created by nature in a short time or renewed. In recent years, due to the fact that non-renewable energy sources are coming to an end, these resources have been taken into consideration. The clean energy industry has been the main target for three reasons: (i) More energy independence, (ii) Improving the quality of the environment in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (iii) As well as having a positive economic impact. Indeed, the creation of green jobs is an important issue that provides the Opportunities for controlling climate change issues as well as providing the right conditions for building a low carbon economy. In this paper, the role of renewable energies in developing a low-carbon economy, their importance for saving other resources, as well as creating green jobs in clean energy technologies, is aimed to improve the quality of environment.
