This timeline of sustainable energy research from 2020 to the present documents research and development in renewable energy, solar energy, and nuclear energy, particularly regarding energy production that is sustainable within the Earth system. Renewable energy capacity has steadily grown, led by solar photovoltaic power. [1]
Renewable energy (also called green energy) is energy made from renewable natural resources that are replenished on a human timescale. The most widely used renewable energy types are solar energy , wind power , and hydropower .
English: The vertical access is the percentage of fossil vs non-fossil sources in the energy mix. The horizontal access is time from 2016 to 2050. The horizontal access is time from 2016 to 2050. Various source 'peaks' are shown and milestones in the trasition flagged in their projected positions on the timeline.
The development of renewable energy and energy efficiency marked "a new era of energy exploration" in the United States, according to former President Barack Obama. [9] In a joint address to the Congress on February 24, 2009, President Obama called for doubling renewable energy within the following three years.
2019 – The world record for solar cell efficiency at 47.1% was achieved by using multi-junction concentrator solar cells, developed at National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, Colorado, USA. [ 43 ] [ additional citation(s) needed ] This is above the standard rating of 37% for polycrystalline photovoltaic or thin-film solar cells as of 2018.
California’s Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) estimates that the state will need over 40,000 megawatts of new renewable and energy storage projects by 2032 to keep pace with fully ...
Renewable energy is a compelling approach, both philosophically and in engineering terms. Many renewable energy sources are limited in their ability to affordably provide the base load power required for global industrial development and prosperity, because of inherent land and water requirements.
During her final "State of the State" speech, Gov. Kate Brown said Oregon has one of the nation’s most aggressive clean-energy timelines.
