The renewable energy market is set to be one of the most critical and high growth markets of the 21st Century, driven by compelling strategic forces that will reshape society’s energy usage forever.

Renewable energy resources are naturally replenished in a relatively short period of time. They include biomass, hydropower, geothermal energy, wind energy, and solar energy. In 2005, about 6% of all energy consumed, and about 9% of total electricity production was from renewable energy sources. Building on a foundation of hydropower, biomass combustion, and geothermal power pioneered during the industrial revolution in the late 1800s, new forms of renewable energy began to be developed and commercialized, including solar, wind, and several forms of advanced bio-energy. Today, these renewable energy technologies are the fastest growing energy technologies and are cost competitive in a variety of grid, off-grid, and remote applications worldwide. They utilize locally available resources, off setting the need for costly fuel imports; are environmentally beneficial, without the harmful emissions of conventional energies; provide diversification to a country’s energy mix; and create local job and income opportunities.
