Natural resources are depleting rapidly and there is increasing demand from growing population for use of these resources. Necessity has provoked the need to look for alternative energy resources or renewable energy resources for fulfilling the ever increasing demands of this growing population. Governments of many countries are encouraging the use of renewable energy resources for various purposes.

According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "FGD Market for new FGD systems (Wet and Dry FGD systems), Reagents and Replacement Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2019," global FGD market was valued at USD 14.89 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach USD 22.18 billion by 2019, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2013 to 2019.

Growing need of alternative energy sources due to rapidly depleting non-renewable energy sources is driving the market for photovoltaics. The global photovoltaic market is expected to reach 55,621 megawatts value by the year 2015 with the compounded annual growth rate of 38%. Continuous developments in this market and growing support from government of most countries are some of the major factors contributing to the growth of this market.

The technology used for producing/generating electricity by burning coal is known as coal fired power generation. Globally it is one of the oldest and an efficient way for generating electricity. Its value can be understood as its ability of supplying power during both peak-demand and non-peak demand.

Energy is one of the most important factors in each and every industry.. The per capita energy consumed in 2009 accounted to 1,790 kg as reported by the World Bank. The energy consumption market can be segmented into white goods, consumer electronics, and general illumination in residential and commercial premises. Innovations such as induction cooking and rising natural gas and oil prices are expanding the energy consumption market. The innovation of electric and hybrid cars is also facilitating new opportunities for the market.

According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Video Surveillance and VSaaS Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019," the global market is expected to reach a value of USD 42.81 billion by 2019, growing at a CAGR of 19.1% from 2013 to 2019. Increased security and safety concerns and need to monitor activities to detect intrusion, theft and traffic surveillance are some important reasons driving the growth of the video surveillance and VSaaS market globally.

Biofuels are a class of fuels whose energy is derived biologically from carbon fixation. They are derived from various conversion procedures from solid biomass, liquid fuels and various gases. Liquid biofuels are produced from various oil-rich crops and are grown in many regions across the globe. With the growing demand for energy across the globe, the biofuels market is witnessing large amounts of investments to ensure a permanent source of clean energy. There has been a tremendous increase in the demand for biofuels since they are naturally derived and can replace non-renewable resources.

The rising demand for energy and limited/inefficient storage systems are proving inadequate to satisfy the demand for industrial energy requirements. Researchers are aggressively and continuously working in order to develop and manufacture effective and efficient systems that will store and distribute the required amount of energy globally. Energy retrofits are the adjustment or addition to the existing energy consuming equipment that are utilized in commercial outlets and in buildings.

Coal can be converted into liquid fuel by the process of coal liquefaction. There are two methods used (direct and indirect liquefaction) for obtaining liquid fuels from coal. The major objective of coal liquefaction is to produce synthetic oil to supplement the natural sources of petroleum. Liquid fuel made from coal is cleaner and cheaper than existing synthetic fuels. Large quantities of coal reserves and good technological knowhow related to this market and process are boosting the growth of this market. In addition to these factors, stringent regulations related to emissions followed by many countries, and high oil prices and demand are enhancing the market for coal made fuel. The initial investment and the operational cost related to coal liquefaction is very high which is hindering the growth of this market.

Geothermal energy is a type of heat energy that is produced in the earth’s core. This energy is utilized in a wide range of applications from power stations to simple pumping systems. Geothermal energy is considered as a renewable source of energy since the water which is captured in the form of heat while extracting geothermal energy is continuously replenished by rainfall and again the heat generated from it can be used. A major concentration of geothermal energy on the planet is in the area bordering the Pacific Ocean and is called the Ring of Fire.
