Standards Of Implementing Renewable Energy Technologies In Cameroon

Renewable Energy (RE) sometimes referred to as ‘clean energy’ or ‘green power’ can be defined as any energy source that is naturally occurring and that cannot, in theory, be exhausted. RE sources include solar energy, biomass, tidal, wind or wave power, geothermal energy (English Dictionary Online 2003). Renewable energy is obtained from sources that are essentially inexhaustible. The reverse is true for non renewable such as fossil fuels, of which there is a finite supply (NATSOURCE 2005).
