Floating solar farms (floatovoltaics) and agrovoltaics (solar over crops).

Wind Power:

Onshore and offshore wind farms, including floating offshore turbines.

Low-wind speed and vertical-axis wind turbine designs.

Other Renewables:

Geothermal Energy: Harnessing the earth's heat for electricity and heating/cooling.

Hydropower: Modernizing hydroelectric and tidal/wave energy systems.

Bioenergy & Biofuels: Production of biogas, bioethanol, and sustainable biomass from organic waste.

Energy Storage:

Battery Technology: Advanced Li-ion, solid-state, zinc-bromide, and Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) batteries.

Grid-Scale Storage: Pumped hydro, compressed air, and thermal energy storage (e.g., molten salt).

Green Hydrogen: Production of hydrogen via electrolysis powered by renewable energy for fuel cells and industrial use.

2. Energy Efficiency & Smart Systems

Focuses on reducing energy consumption in buildings, industry, and the power grid.

Smart Grids: Using digital technology for two-way communication to optimize energy distribution and manage intermittent renewables.

Energy Management Systems (EMS): Software and hardware for monitoring and optimizing energy use in commercial and industrial settings.

Smart Building Technology:

Biopesticides and Biofertilizers: Developing natural, microbial-based alternatives to synthetic chemicals.

Agroecology: Integrating farming with ecological processes (e.g., carbon farming, no-till methods).

6. Environmental Remediation & Carbon Management

Technologies focused on cleaning up existing pollution and removing greenhouse gases.

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS):

Capturing CO2 emissions directly from industrial sources (e.g., cement, steel).

Direct Air Capture (DAC): Removing CO2 directly from the ambient air.

Converting captured CO2 into valuable products (fuels, chemicals, building materials).

Bioremediation: Using microorganisms or plants to remove pollutants or clean up contaminated soil and water.

Pollution Control: Technologies for industrial emissions treatment (e.g., VOCs,NOx, SOx removal).
