As resource management continues to threaten our planet, we ought to look at an infinite source of power that could be the answer to many of our issues.

Nuclear power is the second-largest source of low-carbon electricity in the world. But in order to reap the benefits of this low carbon energy, society must quell its dark history.

Sustainable energy can be extracted from biomaterials, including food waste, crops, animal and agricultural waste, wastewater, and wood.
The U.S. has the potential to produce 1 billion dry tons of non-food biomass resources annually by 2040, but only if funding can keep up with innovation.

While geothermal energy has the potential to become a critical component in the world’s transition away from fossil fuel dependency, many countries already rely on geothermal energy.
Compared to its renewable counterparts, geothermal’s strength is its independence from weather and seasons — better yet, it's available 24/7. Its two main limitations at the moment are geographic locations, subsequent proximity to high tectonic plate activity, and upfront costs.

The forces driving wind’s expanding share of the global energy market remain strong. Public sentiment and government incentives increasingly favor wind along with other renewable energy sources. The business thesis sees companies increasingly adopting ESG guidelines, often pushed into doing so by big banks, pension funds and mainstream institutional investors like BlackRock Inc.

With the Earth having warmed a full degree Celsius since 1900, companies, environmentalists, and investors have gotten behind the idea that we can suck carbon out of the air with machines — although not everyone is buying in.

As data centers around the world hum in their processing of nearly uncountable amounts of information, they are doing more than categorizing and storing. They are generating heat. Lots of it.

The global energy landscape is changing at a rapid pace. The world is moving away from the conventional twentieth-century-style centralized grid, which was fueled by coal and gas power plants. In its place a new market, powered by distributed energy, is emerging.

As energy utilities move away from fossil fuels to meet international emission reduction commitments, all sources of renewable energy resources have experienced considerable growth. While solar photovoltaics and wind turbines are often the first technologies that come to mind, the International Energy Agency predicts bioenergy will contribute the most renewable production over the next five years and account for more than 30% of growth.
