List of renewable energy topics by country
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of renewable energy topics by country. The list refers to renewable energy in general, as well as solar power, wind power, geothermal energy, biofuel, and hydro-electricity.
Wind power has a worldwide installed capacity of 74,223 megawatts (MW) and is widely used in several European countries and the USA.[1] The manufacturing output of the photovoltaics industry reached more than 2,000 MW per year in 2006,[2] and PV power plants are particularly popular in Germany.[3] Solar thermal power stations operate in the USA and Spain, and the largest of these is the 354 MW SEGS power plant in the Mojave Desert.[4] The world's largest geothermal power installation is The Geysers in California, with a rated capacity of 750 MW.[5] Brazil has one of the largest renewable energy programs in the world, involving production of ethanol fuel from sugar cane, and ethanol now provides 18 percent of the country's automotive fuel.[6] Biodesiel and ethanol fuel are widely available in the USA.
