In the modern world, faced with the challenges of climate change and the depletion of traditional energy sources, the pursuit of alternative sources is becoming an integral part of sustainable development. With the constant increase in energy consumption and the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the search for alternative solutions is becoming increasingly important. The work examines the most widely used alternative energy sources. Their advantages and disadvantages are highlighted. A search has been made for patent solutions and developments that largely eliminate these shortcomings. It can be seen that although the shortcomings have not yet been completely overcome, there has been great progress in this direction over the past decade. The introduction of alternative energy sources is not only a strategic necessity, but also a step towards creating a sustainable and environmentally friendly future. Despite challenges and obstacles, these technologies are becoming increasingly integrated into our energy infrastructure, providing societies with a stable source of energy without harming the environment.
