Morphology
The phrase is transparently compositional: 'renewable' (capable of being renewed) modifies 'energy' (power), and 'industry' denotes the business sector, so a learner can infer it refers to the business sector producing or selling renewable power. This straightforward noun-compound pattern is common across languages and follows regular English noun-modifier composition, making it understandable to a B1 learner who knows the parts.
Etymology
Renewable energy industry comes from simple ideas: renewable (things like the sun and wind that keep coming back), energy ('power'), and industry ('businesses'). So the phrase names the group of companies that make and sell power from natural sources that do not run out.
