Renewable Energy

Renewable energy comes from natural sources that are replenished on a human timescale, such as solar power, wind power, hydropower, and geothermal energy. It is considered a core strategy for reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. RTI supports renewable energy development by evaluating technologies, designing policies, and analyzing economic and environmental impacts.
