Abstract:

Renewable energy sources have gained attention in recent decades because fossil fuel resources are depleting and global population growth has increased energy demand. This study reviews how remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used to identify and evaluate renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, and geothermal energy. This paper is to show the application of GIS techniques and remote sensing to identify optimal locations for harnessing these resources. The results show that combining remote sensing and GIS is more efficient than using either technology alone. This article also analyzes current and future challenges in applying these technologies and proposes potential solutions. The findings and recommendations of this study can be useful for researchers and policymakers in the field of renewable energy.
