Abstract
The Energy Committee of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has in a series of projects gathered information and knowledge on renewable energy from various sources both within and outside the academic world In this article we synthesize and summarize some of the main points on renewable energy from the various Energy Committee projects and the Committee’s Energy 2050 symposium regarding energy from water and wind bioenergy and solar energy We further summarize the Energy Committee’s scenario estimates of future renewable energy contributions to the global energy system and other presentations given at the Energy 2050 symposium In general international coordination and investment in energy research and development is crucial to enable future reliance on renewable energy sources with minimal fossil fuel use
