Future energy generation technologies to take us all forward in perpetuity - must be those which deliver massive, enduring, clean, safe and low cost power for all peoples.

This technological challenge is in the hands of the world’s best and brightest scientists, physicists, engineers and researchers who quite rightly are focused clearly on reaching the pinnacle of energy generation possibilities known to science – nothing less is acceptable.

Fortunately the world of science already understands well the immutable laws of thermodynamics underpinning energy dense generation concepts, so we are well advanced on the subject. Importantly, we can all expect to see these very low footprint, versatile, and scalable modular generation technologies start to “pop up” and be put into service progressively and everywhere globally within 30 years for sure.

There are four imperatives that any energy technology suitable for future use must satisfy fully to qualify as a forward thinking and enduring new era technology.

(1) New age generation must be at the peak or near the peak of the energy density and generation scientific pyramid;

(2) New age generation must generate massive, clean, safe, low cost power cost effectively, and be of a modular, scalable, and easily reticulatable everywhere globally, form factor;

(3) New age generation must be one that provides low cost and abundant power for all peoples ad-infinitum, sufficient to power new age energy intensive industries much needed to elevate all peoples globally through new technological opportunities and incremental prosperity advancements for all;

(4) New age generation most importantly at the same time as achieving points 1 - 3 above, must eliminate greenhouse gasses GHG currently generated by fossil fuels generation in all forms to insignificant levels permanently and quickly, and consign climate change issues to posterity going forward.

So a better question is this: “Can We Generate 100% Of Our Energy from New Age Clean Generation Technologies by 2100 Eliminating Greenhouse Gasses at the same time?

Yes of course we can, as we must

I invite you to discussion and cooperation. Greetings

The prevailing RES can be different from region to region but given the state of maturity of the technologies and the economic accessibility to to each of them both in developed and developing countries in my view biomass, hydro, wind and solar will dominate.

Indeed, the RES development is mainly determined by region, technological maturity, economic feasibility, but also by the coexistence of fossil fuels deposits at the areas of reference. It seems that high solar radiation and hydro-potential are prevailing at the developing countries of the southern hemisphere, but of low pace of technological maturity and disadvantageous scaling-up perspectives. Contrarily, wind energy and biomass sources can advance the future energy mix of developed countries of northern hemisphere. Again, the decisive role of fossil fuels deposits is still a pronounced motivational aspect to those areas of abundant fossil fuels deposits. In this context, common ground of all future RES plans is the solidification of social cohesion, the new working opportunities offered, as well as the energy autonomy of remote areas, comparing to the energy dependence by the mainland power grid.

As we're encountering a rapid technological globalization, e-waste could become a dominant source for clean energy production via application of thermo-chemical and plasma technologies using nano-catalysts as the supporting agents.

In South Africa Solar PV will dominate in the near future

My suggestion is the ETD (Energy Transformer Device) to use the motion energy of the ambient air's molecules for generating electricity. This energy is the naturally stored solar power. See more on website: www.magai.eu

German renewables share jumps to 38% for 2018, nearly catches coal

Germany is edging ever closer to its national target of 65 per cent renewable energy by 2030, with new data showing wind and solar produced 38 per cent of the electricity consumed in the country between January and September 2018.

https://reneweconomy.com.au/german-renewables-share-jumps-to-38-for-2018-nearly-catches-coal-18432/

"I think the things that would really blow us away if we could jump forward 20 years would not be the giant fields of windmills, but the 1,000 changes in daily life that have taken place in order to save energy," says Alex Steffen, executive editor of Worldchanging.com, which covers sustainable technology.

There is no doubt that Solar is the source of our future clean energy.

Solar Energy is the key to future which further nurture use of electricity in machineries instead of diesel and petrol.

Renewables increasingly central to total energy consumption growth

The share of renewables in meeting global energy demand is expected to grow by one-fifth in the next five years to reach 12.4% in 2023.

Renewables will have the fastest growth in the electricity sector, providing almost 30% of power demand in 2023, up from 24% in 2017. During this period, renewables are forecast to meet more than 70% of global electricity generation growth, led by solar PV and followed by wind, hydropower, and bioenergy. Hydropower remains the largest renewable source, meeting 16% of global electricity demand by 2023, followed by wind (6%), solar PV (4%), and bioenergy (3%).

There are a host of enormous problems with the conventional fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) that we've relied upon to power our societies since the industrial revolution. For one, they're running out: Some analysts believe we've already hit peak oil, and global production will more or less decline. And while there's considerably more coal and natural gas, they're still extremely finite resources, and experts can already foresee 'peak' coal and gas, too. Secondly, the burning of fossil fuels emits greenhouse gases which are the biggest culprits in the global warming issues we face today.

The energy of the future will need to be generated by a patchwork of renewable sources: wind, solar, geothermal, hydro and biomass. Solar is by far the most promising because sunlight is by a long shot the most abundant power source on the planet. However, the energy of the future will not be a single source of fuel but a jumble of competing clean technologies that will diversify the energy mix and none of them are fossil fuels. In a nutshell, there are plenty of good options.

In developed countries (with maritime space, of course) and in the midterm, I would bet on ocean renewable energy - including wave, wind, floating PV and tidal energy. My reason is simple: because of the limited areas available onshore for installing new wind and solar plants.

When comparing, for example, solar and atomic energy, many significant differences can be shown.

Solar energy is safer than nuclear energy. There are no environmentally hazardous radioactive waste in solar energy. In addition, solar power plants can be of any size, while nuclear power plants are usually very large investments and require huge financial outlays for the construction of a modern nuclear power plant.

But besides, many other energy technologies are being developed, energy innovations are being developed in the field of renewable energy sources, such as wind, water, or sea waves.

In addition, geothermal energy and the development of energy storage technologies. This is an important issue because the consumption of electricity is growing in many developing countries. In the future, electricity consumption may increase even more when electromobility starts to spread, ie electric cars will be produced and sold on a massive scale.

In my opinion, it is good that there was a discussion in the question of this query. This is a very interesting and scientifically important topic. Because the topic is very important so I still read the answers, I follow the interesting discussion. The above discussion inspired me to the following considerations: Please, answer the following questions: What pro-ecological activities can and should be implemented by the World Bank to inspire and effectively act on the issue of the sustainable pro-ecological development of the World? According to the announcement of the President of the World Bank, from 2020 on, the expenditure on pro-ecological activities will be doubled. Among other things, the World Bank will allocate USD 100 billion for investments in the public sector and additional USD billion for pro-ecological projects on various topics that are supposed to implement and inspire changes in the new green economy to ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions on Earth and to slow down increase in average temperature on the Earth's surface. However, what specific pro-ecological investments should be implemented in order to achieve the intended results? How should those pro-ecological projects be run and in which topics, eg renewable energy sources, creation and implementation of ecological innovations, technologies and pro-ecological materials, etc.? What pro-ecological activities can and should be implemented by the World Bank to inspire and effectively act on the issue of the sustainable pro-ecological development of the World? Please reply.

The above discussion inspired me to the following considerations:

Is the source of RES energy that should be developed in the 21st century mainly solar energy or rather other types of renewable energy?

Renewable energy sources based on solar energy belong to those types of renewable energy, which should be developed in the next years in the energy sector, because it is the production of clean energy.

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Good question

Following

Dear Friends and Colleagues of RG

Taking into account the increasing global problems related to the progressing environmental pollution, depletion of mineral resources and the greenhouse effect, the need to create and develop new, innovative RES technologies and clean green energy sources is gradually increasing.

Does any of you conduct research in this area? Apparently, the greenhouse effect is an irreversible process. the only thing that can be done is to slow down this process and thus adverse weather anomalies, unusual atmospheric phenomena, disasters caused by climate change. The development of industry based on traditional energy sources, ie burning of minerals, still dominates in many regions of the world. In domestic terms, the management of economies often boils down to economic growth, development of the industry without taking into account environmental protection issues and analysis of greenhouse gas emissions. In national economic policies, the tendency of the race is dominating for a higher number of economic growth, and the negative effects of this growth are forgotten. An attitude is assumed that the next generations are worried about how to solve this problem. Such an approach will accelerate only the negative effects of the global greenhouse effect and the emergence of disasters and natural disasters about the sources of climate change in a larger part of the world. More and more often the question is asked: how can we stop this process only as this process of warming up of average temperatures on Earth could be slowed down? What scale of this downturn could be generated if mankind would start to take this problem seriously? Does any of you conduct research in this area? Has any of you developed a theoretical model that would answer the question: Will switching all energy, communication and industry to renewable energy sources and ecological technologies significantly slow down the greenhouse effect on Earth?

Please, answer, comments.

I invite you to the discussion.

Best wishes

In the coming years, humanity should carry out pro-ecological reforms of the classic energy based on the burning of minerals by converting it into environmentally friendly energy based on renewable energy sources. It should be possible to allocate as much as possible to this environmentally-friendly transformation of the energy industry because what will be realized in this matter over the next dozen or so years depends on the pace of the progressive and accelerating process of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. Ecological innovations developed primarily in the field of new technologies of renewable energy sources are helpful in the process of proecological energy transformation.

Thanks to ecological innovations, the scope and possibilities of implementing sustainable ecological development are increasing. In connection with the progressing global warming process, it is necessary to develop eco-innovations in the field of renewable energy development, improvement of sorting techniques, recycling, electromobility, organic farming, plastic reduction from packaging and conversion of plastics to biodegradable materials, etc.

In this way, through the development of ecological innovations and their implementation on an industrial scale, it is possible to implement sustainable pro-ecological economic development in modern economies. This is a key challenge for humanity in the 21st century. It is a challenge to the necessary and possibly quick implementation in the coming years.

In view of the above, it is necessary to change the development strategy based on intensifying the exploitation of the Earth's resources on the sustainable development strategy. It is necessary to develop new energy technologies based on renewable energy sources to slow down the progressing greenhouse effect of the Earth in order to reduce the risk of dramatic natural cataclysms. It is necessary to develop ecological innovations, while it may not be too late. It is necessary to save the Earth from destruction for future generations.

The 21st century is the last moment to introduce global sustainable development based on the development of renewable energy and ecological innovations. Sustainable development should be analyzed and measured in correlation with the analysis of economic growth and the share of individual sectors in the country's economic development, including the transformation of traditional energy sources into renewable energy, environmental reclamation and recovery of recyclable materials, and ecological innovations.

Of course SOLAR will be...appropriate and has good potential...
