Abstract

In a world grappling with heightened carbon levels, the imperative for mankind to coordinate efforts toward a carbon-reduced future has reached a critical juncture. Against this backdrop of ecological urgency, the emergence of renewable energy harmonizes as a crucial note, promising a melodic progression in the collective journey toward sustainability, decarbonization, and climate change mitigation. This comprehensive review navigates through the literature, offering a panoramic exploration of the historical, contemporary, and prospective landscapes of renewable energy sources. It delves into their merits, drawbacks, research gaps, and various storage and transmission methods. The study deeply compares the efficiency of renewable sources, considering factors such as the levelized cost of electricity, capacity factor, and installation costs. Additionally, it highlights the practical applications of renewables through insightful case studies. The central focus is on assessing the status of renewables in the energy mix, elucidating its holistic capacity amidst rising energy demands, and examining prevailing policies, research investments, and the contributions of oil companies to the renewable industry. The review envisions renewables claiming a larger share in electricity generation than fossils, but recommends alliances with hydrogen energy and carbon capture, utilization, and storage for a low-carbon future. It stresses continuous advancements in renewable technologies and enhancing efficiency, reliability, and scalability to accelerate the transition to sustainability.

碳罪犯:追逐可再生能源进入功率谱的顺利突破的文献综述
在一个与高碳水平作斗争的世界里,人类为减少碳排放的未来而协调努力的必要性已经到了一个关键时刻。在这种生态紧迫的背景下,可再生能源的出现成为一个关键的音符,有望在可持续发展、脱碳和减缓气候变化的集体旅程中取得旋律上的进步。这篇全面的综述通过文献导航,提供了可再生能源的历史、当代和未来景观的全景探索。探讨了它们的优点、缺点、研究差距以及各种存储和传输方式。该研究深入比较了可再生能源的效率,考虑了电力平准化成本、容量因素和安装成本等因素。此外,它还通过富有洞察力的案例研究强调了可再生能源的实际应用。重点是评估可再生能源在能源结构中的地位,阐明其在不断增长的能源需求中的整体能力,并审查现行政策、研究投资以及石油公司对可再生能源行业的贡献。该报告设想可再生能源在发电中所占的份额将超过化石能源,但建议与氢能和碳捕获、利用和储存合作,以实现低碳的未来。它强调可再生能源技术的不断进步,提高效率、可靠性和可扩展性,以加速向可持续发展的过渡。
