Potential of Renewable Energy Outlined in Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The IPCC has issued its final report on renewable energy sources suitable to help the climate.

The six technologies reviewed are:
  • Bioenergy, including energy crops; forest, agricultural and livestock residues and so called second generation biofuels
  • Direct solar energy, including photovoltaics and concentrating solar power
  • Geothermal energy, based on heat extraction from the Earth‘s interior
  • Hydropower, including run-of-river, in-stream or dam projects with reservoirs
  • Ocean energy, ranging from barrages to ocean currents and ones which harness temperature differences in the marine realm
  • Wind energy, including on- and offshore systems
