Wind –harnessing the naturally occurring energy of the wind to generate electricity, both onshore and offshore Photovoltaics – using semi-conductor materials to capture the energy in sunlight and convert it directly into electricity Biomass – converting organic matter such as wood, plants and agricultural waste to provide heat, produce fuel and generate electricity Concentrated solar power – concentrating the energy of the sun to generate electricity or provide heat Ocean energy systems – exploiting energy from the ocean such as tidal ...[+++] current and waves to generate electricity Geothermal – using steam and hot water generated by heat from the earth’s crust to produce electricity and provide heating.
