The Future of Renewable Energy

BBC World Service - The Forum, The Future of Renewable Energy

How do we develop a practical, reliable and cheap supply of renewable energy?

Exploring new renewable energy sources such as the artificial leaf, sustainable biofuels and more powerful batteries.

How do we develop a practical, reliable, cheap and globally relevant supply of renewable energy and improve on the meagre 10% of our power needs which renewables currently provide? Quentin Cooper travels to the Royal Society of Chemistry's Challenges in Chemical Renewable Energy meeting in Cambridge, UK, to hear about ideas and latest research results from Brazilian authority on bioenergy Carlos Henrique de Brito Cruz, Cambridge University's creator of better batteries Clare Grey, Harvard pioneer of artificial photosynthesis Daniel Nocera and research director of the UK Energy Research Centre Jim Watson.
