This is a bibliography of renewable energy.
Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished). About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewables, with 10% coming from traditional biomass, which is mainly used for heating, and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro, modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels) account for another 3% and are growing very rapidly.[1]
Total investment in renewable energy reached $244 billion in 2012. The top countries for investment in recent years were China, Germany, Spain, the United States, Italy, and Brazil.[2] [3] Leading renewable energy companies include BrightSource Energy, Enercon, First Solar, Gamesa, GE Energy, Goldwind, Nordex, Sinovel, Suntech, Trina Solar, Vestas and Yingli.[4] [5]
