According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA):<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAvoiding the worst effects of global warming will require us to source at least 85 per cent of global power from renewables, with a minimum of two thirds of total energy from renewable sources \u2013 wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, bioenergy and the burgeoning tidal technology \u2013 by 2050.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>Recognizing that education is an essential element of the global response to climate change, the tour of Moree Solar Farm was organized by <a href=\"https:\/\/frv.com\/\">Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV)<\/a> to help the students to not only understand the impact of global warming, but to provide a practical insight into how solar photovoltaic energy works and why it should be considered as an alternative \u2013 and preferred \u2013 source of power generation.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A tour of Moree Solar Farm\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i0C6qT5HLUw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Owned by FRV, a global leader in the development of utility-scale renewable energy projects, Moree Solar Farm is one of six solar projects developed by the company in Australia. Spanning a vast site of 287 hectares in northern New South Wales, the 56 MW dc capacity farm can produce up to 146,180 MWh of clean energy every year, which is enough to power around 24,000 Australian households.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the tour, students were asked to summarize the simple steps they could, themselves, take at home to become more energy efficient and reduce their own carbon
