5. Fossil Fuel E. Its renewable energy from living or once living things.
Question 2 Case Study Read the text below and answer the questions 20
Renewable energy, also referred to as ‘alternative energy’, is energy generated from a natural
source that is not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power. Renewable energy
has gained popularity as it does not harm the environment.The renewable energy market is
booming worldwide and is predicted to surpass fossil fuel use, thanks to such factors as falling
prices and the Paris Climate Agreement. It is seen by many as a route to mitigating climate
change, a problem brought on in part, by the widespread use of fossil fuels such as coal.
