In this month’s issue we wrap up the latest developments and innovations in alternative energy.
Oil makes up over a third of the world’s energy usage, but it won’t last forever. With increasing concerns that peak oil will be reached within a few decades and that demand will outstrip supply, massive worldwide investments in renewable energy are needed.
Go deeper with GlobalData
We investigate where the world is heading for its energy supplies and look at the efforts that are being made to find alternatives, from cleaner gas technologies to the renewable options of solar, wind and wave.
Although previously associated with additional costs, green power solutions are now doing their bit to improve efficiency. We look at the economy of green technology and the true cost of a reduced carbon future, and round up some of the most innovative developments in renewable energy.
