Alternative Energy Research Biography
Research for Renewable Energy Development
Meeting the nation's energy needs, maintaining a strong economy, and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases are inextricable goals. Solutions must include the development of carbon-free energy sources that are environmentally sustainable and economically viable. Renewable energy sources including wind, solar, and biomass/biofuels are the most rapidly growing energy sectors within the U.S. and hold the promise of becoming a significant portion of the total U.S. energy supply.
Renewable energy sources depend on improved atmospheric information to be economically viable and successfully integrated into the U.S. electrical grid system. Further, proposed ocean-based renewable energy technologies, including hydrokinetic energy and ocean thermal energy conversion, will require research and information about ocean conditions and processes before they can be developed. NOAA can contribute to the development and integration of renewable-energy sources into the U.S. energy system through better atmospheric and oceanic observations, models, forecasts, and analysis tools.
