The term Green energy is used to describe sources of energy which are considered environmentally friendly, non-polluting; and therefore may provide a remedy to the systemic effects of certain forms of pollution, and Global warming.
Green energy is commonly thought of in the context of electricity, heating, and cogeneration, and is becoming increasingly available. Consumers, businesses, and organizations may purchase green energy in order to support further development, help reduce the environmental impacts associated with conventional electricity generation, and increase their nation’s energy independence. Renewable energy certificates (Green certificates, or green tags) have been one way for consumers and businesses to support green energy. Over 35 million homes in Europe, and 1 million in the United States, are purchasing such certificates.[citation needed]
Additionally, some governments have drafted specific definitions for Green energy or similar terms which may be eligible for subsidies or other support for related technologies.
