Abstract
The adoption of renewable energy technologies to meet warehouse energy demand is a crucial step in achieving sustainable development, as there are global energy shortages and environmental challenges. This chapter provides an overview of the application of renewable energy technologies, including solar, wind, and geothermal, for adoption in warehouses. Moreover, it also describes the potential of these technologies in the reduction of fossil fuel utilization, operational cost reduction, and minimizing carbon footprints. Initially, solar energy, through photovoltaic (PV) and photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) systems, is discussed in detail as an attractive alternative for electricity and thermal energy requirements. Therefore, this chapter highlights the potential role of renewable energy technologies by carefully examining their benefits, associated challenges, and their practical applications as a way forward toward a sustainable future in the warehouse industry.
