Energy Transition

Solar thermoelectric technology utilizes mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a small area, generating heat that drives a turbine or heat engine to produce electricity.

Geothermal power involves harnessing naturally occurring underground heat—typically found in regions near volcanic activity, geysers, or hot springs—to generate steam for powering turbines and producing electricity.

Onshore wind power is generated through the use of large wind turbines equipped with long blades that harness the kinetic energy of the wind to drive a connected electric generator.

Offshore wind power is the generation of electricity through wind turbines located in bodies of water, typically in the ocean on the continental shelf. The kinetic energy of the wind turns the turbine blades, driving a generator to produce renewable electricity.

Wave energy, or ocean power, involves harnessing the kinetic energy produced by the natural oscillation of waves, typically achieved through a weighted buoy system that converts the wave motion into electrical energy via a linear or rotary generator.

Sustainable hydropower refers to using smaller-scale dams that generate electricity through the controlled flow of water but preserve aquatic ecosystems and ensure unobstructed fish migration pathways.

Sustainable biomass uses cellulosic waste products such as wood scraps, agricultural residues, and organic landfill materials for combustion in a thermoelectric generator to produce electricity while ensuring that harvested trees are not used as a fuel source to maintain forest sustainability.

Green hydrogen fuel is produced using renewable energy to electrolyze water (splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen). The resulting hydrogen can be stored and used on demand in a fuel cell to create renewable power.

Advanced nuclear is a next-generation climate solution that builds on the benefits of conventional nuclear while addressing its limitations. Using innovative designs like small modular reactors and advanced fuel cycles, it offers safer, more flexible, and cost-effective carbon-free power. These reactors can provide steady, reliable electricity to complement renewables, while also delivering clean heat and hydrogen for hard-to-decarbonize industries.
