Globally, renewable electricity capacity is forecast to increase by over 60% between 2020 and 2026, reaching more than 4 800 GW.

The United Kingdom is aiming to secure 12 GW of electricity capacity in the fourth round of the CfD scheme;

The proposals include 5,170 MW of renewable projects, of which 4,132 MW are solar PV projects, 243 MW geothermal projects and 151 MW biomass projects.

FERC's latest monthly "Energy Infrastructure Update" report (with data through September 30, 2021) reveals that renewable energy sources accounted for 87.61% - or 16,665 megawatts (MW) - of the 19,022 MW of new capacity added during the first nine months of the year.

The number of geothermal power plants in Japan has quadrupled since the 2011 nuclear disaster in Fukushima Prefecture, according to industry data.

In fact, “renewable” energy is the least renewable, sustainable, eco-friendly energy source of all. Any ESG program that fails to recognize this is dishonest, even fraudulent – and must be reformed or scrapped.

From small wind, micro hydro, tidal, geothermal, biomass, and even hydrogen fuel cell technology, any of these combinations contain the keys to unlocking a hybrid solution that will overcome the dependence we have on fossil fuels.

While wording was removed from the original strategy calling for maximising nuclear utilisation, new reference was added in the latest strategy on the promotion of nuclear-related R&D and personnel training with an eye to the future.

Taro Kono, the administrative reform minister, has announced a goal of doubling Japan's geothermal power facilities by 2030.

The U.S. is the largest producer of geothermal energy, though its uses and popularity remain low.

Indonesia has a total capacity of 67 GW (end of 2019), distributed as follows: 52% coal, 27% gas, 10% oil, 8% hydroelectricity, and 3% geothermal.

The US Energy Department has a Geothermal Technologies Office and they are understandably optimistic.

Since the heat to create the energy is stored in the Earth’s crust, people living on every continent could access this potential climate-changing technology.

With renewable energy making up a staggering 70% of Kenya’s energy mix in 2018 (Onyango, 2018) and as high as 87% as of January 2020, (Zarembka, 2020) one would be curious to see what steps Kenya took to shape its renewable energy landscape and attract private sector investment.

the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced that five projects will receive up to $28 million to promote the advancement of the next generation of geothermal energy technologies.
