Biomass Power
|
Electricity | Biomass feedstock can replace fossil fuels for generating heat and electricity. Perennial biomass offers a “bridge” to a clean, renewable energy future. | details |

Concentrated Solar Power
|
Electricity | Concentrated solar power uses sunlight as a heat source. Arrays of mirrors concentrate incoming rays onto a receiver to heat fluid, produce steam, and turn turbines. | details |
|
Distributed Energy Storage
|
Electricity | Standalone batteries and electric vehicles store energy. They can enable 24/7 electricity supply even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. | details |
|
Distributed Solar Photovoltaics
|
Electricity | Whether grid-connected or part of stand-alone systems, rooftop solar panels and other distributed solar photovoltaic systems offer hyper-local, clean electricity generation. | details |
|
Geothermal Power
|
Electricity | Steamy hot water from underground reservoirs is the fuel for geothermal power. It can be piped to the surface to drive turbines that produce electricity without pollution. | details |
|
Grid Flexibility
|
Electricity | Smarter, more flexible electric grids can cut energy losses. They also are critical to mainstreaming renewables, which are more variable than conventional energy sources. | details |
