Electricity generation accounts for more than 90% of power sector emissions, far greater than the contribution from heat production.
Energy Technology is an applied energy journal that provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and engineers to share important progress in energy research. We publish articles from all perspectives
The study is carried out in an energy-importing Yangtze River Delta region in China. • Sustainability of the 8 most applied electricity generation technologies was assessed and ranked based on 14 sustainability indicators. • Policymakers rated fossil fuel
A new energy economy is emerging. There are unmistakeable signs of change. In 2020, even as economies sank under the weight of Covid-19 lockdowns, additions of renewable sources of energy such as wind and solar PV increased at their fastest rate in two decades, and electric vehicle sales set new records. A new energy economy is coming into view
Against this backdrop, Energy Technology Perspectives 2023 ( ETP-2023) provides analysis on the risks and opportunities surrounding the development and scaling up of clean energy and

Renewable energy comes from unlimited, naturally replenished resources, such as the sun, tides, and wind. Renewable energy can be used for electricity generation, space and water heating and cooling, and transportation. Non-renewable energy, in contrast, comes from finite sources, such as coal, natural gas, and oil.
Global consensus on the future of energy supply is all about low-carbon, diversified sources. Observing the latest trends, and catering to growing energy demands, while protecting the
