Report Scope
This report covers the major sources of renewable energy as primary fuels: hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, oceanic sources (wave, tidal and thermal), and bioenergy. This study is helpful for both renewable technology and material suppliers and power generation companies that produce power through renewable resources. It will be beneficial for companies making decisions such as estimating the market demand for technologies and materials, making expansion and upgrade plans for existing facilities, deciding on investments in renewable energy sectors, etc.
This report deals intensively with power generation through renewable resources and therefore does not focus on other applications of renewable resources. However, it provides essential data on applications such as heating and lighting.
The scope of this report is intentionally broad. We cover the major sources of renewable energy as primary fuels—hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, oceanic sources (wave, tidal and thermal), bioenergy, and focus on liquid biofuels for transportation. There is no shortage in the marketplace of reports on each source. However, what the existing marketplace lacks and what this report intends to provide is a global perspective that places each source in a relevant context for decision-makers in both the public and private sectors.
In particular, this report includes:
- An overview of the global market for renewable energy and technologies.
- Analyses of global market trends, with data from 2019 to 2021 and projections through 2027.
- Coverage of the major renewable energy sources as primary fuels, including hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, oceanic (wave, tidal and thermal) and bioenergy.
- Examination of the impact on the renewable energy market brought about by surging global demand for energy, the impact of climate change on alternative fuels, improvements in technology and the availability of new materials.
- Comprehensive profiles of major players in the various renewable energy fields and technology patents.
