Description

Renewable energy has made strong advances in the power generation fuel mix in many developed and developing nations in the past decade. Energy-hungry nations are increasingly turning to renewables in order to meet their rapidly increasing demand. While some better established sources of renewable power, such as small hydro, biomass, wind, and increasingly solar PV (photovoltaics) are supported in a more concerted manner, niche renewable energy sources such as geothermal and concentrated solar power (CSP) are also on the rise where the natural conditions are suitable. The study focuses on hydro, wind, solar PV, CSP, biomass and waste, geothermal, and marine power globally, highlighting key trends and developments in 7 regions.
