How can we identify decarbonated sources of electricity?
Generating electricity with low-carbon solutions

A decarbonated source is one that produces with low CO ₂ emissions. Today, there are eight decarbonated sources:

• hydroelectricity, whose energy source is water (rivers, snowmelt, tidal power, ocean currents, etc.);

• wind power, whose energy source is the wind;

• photovoltaic solar energy, whose energy source is the sun;

• thermodynamic solar energy, whose energy source is the sun;

• biomass, whose energy sources are wood and waste ;

• geothermal energy, whose source of energy is the heat of the earth;

• nuclear energy, whose energy source is uranium;

• green hydrogen, biomethane,...
