Can old fossil fuel facilities be repurposed for renewable energy?hrui/iStock
- Unused fossil fuel facilities are undergoing conversion into renewable energy hubs.
- This shift can help us reduce carbon emissions and deal with depleting fossil fuels.
- But does this transition actually hold promise as a sustainable alternative?
Sustainable and renewable energy sources like solar and wind are all the rage nowadays, and for good reason: They reduce pollution and carbon footprint.
However, a significant portion of our electricity needs (more than 61 percent in countries like the US) is still met by fossil fuels. But does the transition to renewables mean we should forget about old fossil fuel-generating facilities?
Well, the answer is, unsurprisingly, no.
