While often overlooked, hydro provides 71% of global renewable output. Small-scale "pico hydro" systems are electrifying remote regions, proving even centuries-old technology has untapped applications. $112B
Critics often cite intermittency as renewables’ weakness, but solutions like liquid-air energy storage now achieve 72-hour backup capacity. Grid modernization and distributed generation models further enhance reliability. As storage breakthroughs and smart grid integration accelerate, renewables are transitioning from alternative to primary energy sources. This shift promises not just environmental healing but unparalleled economic opportunities across the value chain.
