The renewable-energy industry is the part of the energy industry focusing on new and appropriate renewable energy technologies. Investors worldwide have paid greater attention to this emerging industry in recent years. In many cases, this has translated into rapid renewable energy commercialization and considerable industry expansion. The wind power, solar power and hydroelectric power industries provide good examples of this. In 2020, the global renewable energy market was valued at 881.7billionandconsumptiongrew2.9EJ.Chinawasthelargestcontributortorenewablegrowth,accountinganincrementof1.0EJinconsumption,followedbytheUS,Japan,theUnitedKingdom,India,andGermany.InEurope,renewableconsumptionincremented0.7EJ.Netzeroand100In2020,renewablesourcesincorporatedintoenergyconsumptionatitsfastestrateintwodecades.During2006/2007,severalrenewableenergycompanieswentthroughhighprofileinitialpublicofferings(IPOs),resultinginmarketcapitalizationnearorabove881.7 billion and consumption grew 2.9 EJ. China was the largest contributor to renewable growth, accounting an increment of 1.0 EJ in consumption, followed by the US, Japan, the United Kingdom, India, and Germany. In Europe, renewable consumption incremented 0.7 EJ. Net-zero and 100% renewable energy global goals create market opportunities for renewable industries such as solar and wind energy and lithium-ion batteries. By 2050, it’s estimated that the renewable market will reach a value of one trillion dollars, the same size as the current oil market. In 2020, renewable sources incorporated into energy consumption at its fastest rate in two decades. During 2006/2007, several renewable energy companies went through high profile initial public offerings (IPOs), resulting in market capitalization near or above 1 billion. These corporations included the solar PV companies First Solar (USA), Trina Solar (USA), Centrosolar (Germany), and Renesola (U.K.), wind power company Iberdrola (Spain), and U.S. biofuels producers VeraSun Energy, Aventine, and Pacific Ethanol. Renewable energy industries expanded during most of 2008, with large increases in manufacturing capacity, diversification of manufacturing locations, and shifts in leadership. By August 2008, there were at least 160 publicly traded renewable energy companies with a market capitalization greater than 100million.Thenumberofcompaniesinthiscategoryhasexpandedfromaround60in2005.Some100 million. The number of companies in this category has expanded from around 60 in 2005. Some 150 billion was invested in renewable energy globally in 2009, including new capacity (asset finance and projects) and biofuels refineries.

100% renewable energy
100% renewable energy means getting all energy from renewable resources. The endeavor to use 100% renewable energy for electricity, heating, cooling and transport is motivated by climate change, pollution and other environmental issues, as well as economic and energy security concerns. Shifting the total global primary energy supply to renewable sources requires a transition of the energy system, since most of today's energy is derived from non-renewable fossil fuels.
