An Organized Review of Public Attitudes, Technologies, and Renewable Energy Sources: Towards Sustainable Energy Shubham Kadam1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract - Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and
contributed to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, greenhouse gas (GHG) issues, and environmental damage as environmental consciousness has grown [10], [11]. With the ability to supply energy services with zero or almost zero emission of air pollutants and GHGs, RES can meet domestic energy needs. With the growth of RE, crucial issues including the sustainable development of isolated desert and mountain regions as well as the fulfilment of the requirements to fulfil international agreements relating to environmental protection are anticipated to be resolved. There is currently a global trend to replace conventional fuels with RES in order to meet the excessive energy demand . The need for RE is expanding in the current environment due to a variety of issues, including GHG emissions, CO2 emissions, climate change, and energy security. In contrast to fossil fuels, RES offers economic advantages, environmental benefits, and a pollution-free environment. Therefore, it is crucial for both the present and future generations to rely on RES in order to meet the energy need. To do this, policy-making and public opinion research are needed to encourage the adoption of RE. The impact that public opinion on RE may have on the formulation of policy makes analysis of that opinion essential. Through computer-mediated environments like Web 2.0, public attitudes, a hot area of research, are intensifying. These allow a growing number of individuals to interact and communicate with one another via social media sites like Twitter, Amazon, the blogosphere, etc. By analysing public opinion on social media, this survey hopes to gain insightful information about the use of RE, the difficulties encountered therein, awareness of utilising RES, and acceptance of renewable energy technology (RET) for home use. The purpose of this survey paper is to examine the global demand for RE, the many types of RES used domestically, and to draw practical conclusions on the use and acceptance of RET and RES by the general public.
biomass won't become less accessible as a result of use. The ever-increasing need for energy is met by using sunlight, a reliable source of energy. This assessment addresses global energy requirements, domestic renewable energy technology, and popular perceptions of renewable energy. From 2009 to 2018, a thorough assessment of the literature was done. More than 300 articles were categorized during this process, and 42 papers were filtered for critical review. The review of the literature revealed that in spite of significant efforts at all levels to promote renewable energy as a viable alternative to fossil fuels and reduce dependency on them, in 2017 fossil fuels still made up 73.5% of the world's electricity output. On the other hand, renewable energy sources only made up 26.5%. This study also shows that one of the biggest obstacles to the adoption of renewable energy technology is a lack of public knowledge. The findings of this study demonstrate that incorporating renewable energy sources into power generation can help to handle the current global energy crisis. Additionally, this systematic research has emphasized the significance of public opinion and carried out a real-time analysis of public tweets in order to aid the development of renewable energy technology. Key Words: Energy policies, public opinion, renewable energy sources (RES), renewable energy technology (RET), solar energy, wind energy.
1.INTRODUCTION Experts and the general public are becoming more concerned about the topic of renewable energy (RE). In absolute and relative terms, research on renewable energy sources (RES) has increased in recent years [1]. By tackling the problems of fossil fuel depletion and global warming, RES can play a significant role [2]. The three primary sources of energy are nuclear power, renewable energy, and fossil fuels. similar RES Liandong Zhu served as the assistant editor who oversaw the evaluation of this manuscript and gave final approval for publication. Since solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower are all used to generate energy, they are all extremely helpful in the fight against energy shortages [3]–[5]. The attitude of the general people and their readiness to pay for electricity from renewable electricity sources were the topic of a recent research [6] of villages in Western Greece. Because they are beneficial to the environment, renewable energy sources are regarded as clean energy sources [7] and are crucial [8], [9]. Traditional reliance on fossil fuels is thought to have

1.1 Planning the review The review is organized by putting out the research questions pertinent to our study goal. We also determined the search technique, the search terms, and the inclusion/exclusion standards. 1) Research Questions The primary goal of this effort is to increase understanding of the importance of RE, RES, and RET. To accomplish the research goals, we have created the following research questions (RQs).
