What does the future hold for the world's largest renewable energy source, hydropower? Hydropower is an incredibly old source of energy, tracing its usage back to the watermills that have been a staple of civilisations since ancient times. Today, it is the largest source of renewable energy in the world, with an installed capacity of over 1126GW in 2018. Hydropower is particularly prominent in China, where the world's largest power station Three Gorges power plant in Hubei province produces 22.5GW. Other massive projects also dot the country, including the Xilodu (12.3GW) and Longtan (6.3GW) dams.

An exhaustive global study has found that climate change is set to drive up energy demand significantly by 2050, suggesting policymakers and the energy industry need to take action now to prevent a surge in energy related costs over the next few decades.

Switch to the future power generation of SOLAR energy for office, warehouse, etc..

Scientists in California have reached an important milestone in nuclear fusion research; generating more energy from a fusion reaction than transferred to the nuclear fuel. The holy grail of ignition remains elusive, but each step brings the world closer to a virtually limitless nuclear energy source with no emissions and negligible waste.

The upcoming Teesside energy-from-waste (EfW) plant at Teesside in the United Kingdom will use innovative technology to generate 49MW of green energy from residual municipal and commercial waste. The power project, whose groundbreaking is scheduled for 2014 and operation commencement scheduled for 2016, is being developed under a build, own, operate and transfer (BOOT) contract for Merseyside and Halton Waste Partnership (MHWP).

In January this year Iceland's National Energy Authority announced it had created the world's first magma-based geothermal energy system after drilling 1.3 miles through the earth's crust and hitting magma - only the second time magma has ever been reached. We find out how the project is progressing six months on and whether the project could be replicated anywhere else.

Researchers at the University of Bolton are pioneering developments in 3D textile structures using piezoelectric energy-harvesting fibres. The results of the project could lead to the development of energy-harnessing carpets or mobile devices that can be charged as your clothes move.

The earth is the water planet, so it should come as no great surprise that forms of water power have been one of the world's most popular "renewable" energy sources. Yet the largest water power source of all - the ocean that covers three-quarters of earth - has yet to be tapped in any major way for power generation. There are three primary reasons for this:

Company's patented technology to reduce energy consumption and provide a 'clean' mold resistant insulation will be utilized in the restoration of an historic, circa 1900's theatre in Vienna, Illinois by architect Matt Hupe of Architechniques Ltd., Herrin, Illinois. The Company has recently experience a significant increase in architects' interest in their patented nanotechnology-based Nansulate® thermal insulation and mold resistant coatings for energy savings.

Power-technology.com picks the ten biggest clean energy developments from 2013. The London Array, the world's biggest offshore wind farm, at 630MW installed capacity was opened in July 2013.

The US is the second largest producer of wind energy in the world, but output by state varies by factors including size, climate and policy. What are the top ten US states by wind energy capacity

With the UK going coal-free for a record-breaking 90 hours over the weekend, energy sources such as solar and onshore wind now play a key role in generating electricity. However, with the urgent need for new energy sources to replace the 60% of the electricity produced worldwide by fossil fuel combustion, it has become necessary to look further afield to alternative energy sources.

The UK Government pledged to support the development of the energy storage sector in February, stating that the technology could be 'potentially revolutionary'. But is the government creating the right policy framework to support the sector and help it integrate into the UK energy network?

Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) is developing the new 1,250MW Port Everglades Next Generation Clean Energy Centre (PEEC) to replace the existing Port Everglades power plant of the 1960s. FPL demolished the Port Everglades power plant in 2013 and plans to begin construction of the new $1bn combined-cycle power plant in the second quarter of 2014.
