WEBINAR RENEWABLE ENERGIES/CONVENTIONAL ENERGIES – 19
February 2021

When climate change and the need to promote Sustainable Development are
more than ever discussed, it is important to look at the theme of using Renewable
Energies as well as Conventional Energies, and listening to different perspectives is
essential.
Renewable Energy is understood as energy which does not compromise future
generations since it is available in the nature and is capable of regeneration and is
therefore virtually inexhaustible and non-polluting. Examples of Renewable Energies
include Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Biomass. Seas and Oceans, Hydrogen.
The Conventional Energies are available in the Nature, they are limited that is
to say they cannot be regenerated or reused in a time scale that will sustain their rate
of consumption. Its conversion to final forms of energy implies several environmental impacts due to GHG emissions. Examples of Conventional Energies: fossil fuels: oil, coal, schist and natural gas; nuclear energy: which needs uranium and thorium to be
produced.

The different stages of development of each continent can lead to approaches
and different perspectives, to which we want this Webinar to draw attention,
particularly that of the African continent that is currently moving towards its
industrialization as the main strategy to promote an inclusive economic transformation in the search for solutions that will promote Sustainable Development. Also in this area, Technology has the potential to be a powerful ally in the
pursuit of environmentally friendly solutions that will not compromise the necessary Development.
