Abstract: World energy needs are the biggest challenge and are projected to increase sharply in the next decades. The non-renewable energy sources are finite and their extraction/usage is causing damage to the environment. For worldwide peace and prosperity, energy sector must be environmentally friendly, secure, efficient and cost effective in order to meet the world energy demand and world population trend. Renewable energy technology options could satisfy the global electricity, (heat/cool) demand and transport fuels. Current status of renewable energy sources and their technologies will be highlighted. Trend of global investment, global growth rates and market share of renewable energy are discussed. Renewable technology options in terms of cost and system capacity are also discussed.
