Sustainable Energy Transition for Renewable and Low Carbon Grid ... frontiersin.org 4 facts
perspectiveRenewable energy sources such as geothermal, solar, hydro, and wind should be utilized to their maximum potential due to their immense resource supply.
referenceMoriarty and Honnery (2019) identify five options for the future use of renewable energy: (1) electricity from intermittent wind, solar, and wave energy; (2) dispatchable electricity from hydropower; (3) thermal dispatchable power from solar, geothermal, and biomass; (4) direct thermal energy use from bioenergy and low-temperature geothermal for heating and cooling; and (5) biochemical conversion of biomass to biogas and liquid fuels.
referenceHollaway and Bai (2013) categorize renewable energy technologies into three generations: the first generation (19th century) includes hydropower, biomass, and geothermal; the second generation (1980s) includes tidal, wind, wave, and solar; and the third generation (currently under development) includes gasification, bio-refinery, and ocean thermal power.
claimMoriarty and Honnery (2019) assert that solar energy, wind, bioenergy, and geothermal will play a leading role in the global energy transition away from a century of fossil fuel dominance.

What Role Does Nuclear Energy Play in the Race to Net Zero? earth.org 1 fact
claimRenewable energy sources, including wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, tidal, and sustainable bioenergy, face constraints in deployment speed due to challenges regarding intermittency, energy storage, transmission, and seasonal variability.
The potential land requirements and related land use change ... nature.com 1 fact
referenceThe study models three pathways for electricity generation from 2020 to 2050: the Solar energy pathway (land-based PV, rooftop-based PV, CSP), the Bioenergy pathway (conventional biomass, biomass gasification with/without Carbon Capture and Storage, and Biomass-driven Combined Heat and Power), and the Non-land-occupying pathway (wind, geothermal, rooftop-based PV, and nuclear).
