Renewable energy

Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources - such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and

geothermal heat which are renewable. In 2006, about 18% of global final energy consumption came

from renewables, 13% came from traditional biomass, such as wood-burning. Hydroelectricity was the

next largest renewable source, providing 3%, solar hot water/heating, contributed 1.3%. Modern

technologies, such as geothermal energy, wind power , solar power, and ocean energy together

provided 0.8% of final energy consumption.

Climate change concerns, high oil prices and increasing government support are driving increasing

renewable energy legislation, incentives and commercialization. European Union leaders reached an

agreement in principle in March 2007 that 20 percent of their nations' energy should be produced from

renewable fuels by 2020, as part of its drive to cut emissions of carbon dioxide, blamed in part for

global warming. Investment capital flowing into renewable energy climbed from $80 billion in 2005 to a

record $100 billion in 2006.

Wind power is growing at the rate of 30 percent annually, with a worldwide installed capacity of over

100 GW, and is widely used in several European countries and the United States. The manufacturing

output of the photovoltaics industry reached more than 2,000 MW in 2006, and photovoltaic (PV) power

stations are particularly popular in Germany. Solar thermal power stations operate in the USA and

Spain, and the largest of these is the 354 MW SEGS power plant in the Mojave Desert. The world's

largest geothermal power installation is The Geysers in California, with a rated capacity of 750 MW.

Brazil has one of the largest renewable energy programs in the world, involving production of ethanol

fuel from sugar cane, and ethanol now provides 18 percent of the country's automotive fuel. Ethanol

fuel is also widely available in the USA.

While there are many large-scale renewable energy projects and production, renewable technologies

are also suited to small off-grid applications, sometimes in rural and remote areas, where energy is

often crucial in human development. Kenya has the world's highest household solar ownership rate with

roughly 30,000 small (20–100 watt) solar power systems sold per year.

Some renewable energy technologies are criticised, but the market is growing for many forms of

renewable energy.
