Iceland

A geothermal exploration project begun in 2009 that aims to explore the potential of high-enthalpy geothermal resources by drilling into supercritical fluids found in volcanic areas.

Iceland's ongoing research and development efforts in wind energy, including installation of experimental wind turbines to explore wind power viability as a renewable energy source.

Repurposing carbon dioxide by fusing it with hydrogen split from water to create renewable methanol, which is then blended into gasoline.

Political and economic union of European states; sets climate, energy, trade and external funding policies, including the Global Gateway and hydrogen import strategy.

Electric power generation

Renewable energy source that experienced increased production in 2010 alongside solar and wind.

A renewable energy technology that harnesses heat from within the Earth to generate electricity. In Kenya's case, this is the primary focus of the World Bank-funded project.

Electricity generated from flowing or falling water, one of the alternative energy sources being developed in New Zealand's 25 planned projects.

A geothermal exploration project begun in 2009 that aims to explore the potential of high-enthalpy geothermal resources by drilling into supercritical fluids found in volcanic areas.

Global initiative to fund geothermal energy projects in developing countries, with particular focus on Africa's Rift Valley region. Aims to overcome technical, financial, and political barriers to renewable energy adoption.

Multiple geothermal power projects in Germany being developed to provide heating for greenhouse operators.

Renewable methanol produced by re-purposing carbon dioxide and hydrogen, which is then blended into gasoline.

A 1,000-watt portable wind turbine model weighing 17.6 pounds. Designed for home charging applications with larger power generation capacity.

Vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells, slated for commercial release in 2015. These vehicles produce zero emissions and are designed to be refueled at hydrogen fueling stations.
