Sustainable Energy Transition for Renewable and Low Carbon Grid ... frontiersin.org 3 facts
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.
