 The Role of Renewable Energy in Smart Cities
Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, form the backbone of smart
cities' sustainable energy strategies.

Reduction of GHG Cost Savings:

Emissions:

CO2  Cost saving in long-term
Reduce reliance on fossil fuels,
significant reductions in GHG  According to the New Climate
emissions. Institute, save the global economy
 By IEA, almost 27% of global $160 trillion in health costs, climate
electricity generation in 2020 change mitigation and others by
2050

Energy Efficiency: Resilience:
