- Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems and molten salt storage.
- Floating solar farms (floatovoltaics) and agrovoltaics (solar over crops).

Wind Power:
- Onshore and offshore wind farms, including floating offshore turbines.
- Low-wind speed and vertical-axis wind turbine designs.

Other Renewables:
- Geothermal Energy: Harnessing the earth's heat for electricity and heating/cooling.
- Hydropower: Modernizing hydroelectric and tidal/wave energy systems.
- Bioenergy & Biofuels: Production of biogas, bioethanol, and sustainable biomass from organic waste.

Energy Storage:
- Battery Technology: Advanced Li-ion, solid-state, zinc-bromide, and Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) batteries.
- Grid-Scale Storage: Pumped hydro, compressed air, and thermal energy storage (e.g., molten salt).
- Green Hydrogen: Production of hydrogen via electrolysis powered by renewable energy for fuel cells and industrial use.

2. Energy Efficiency & Smart Systems

Focuses on reducing energy consumption in buildings, industry, and the power grid.

Smart Grids: Using digital technology for two-way communication to optimize energy distribution and manage intermittent renewables.

Energy Management Systems (EMS): Software and hardware for monitoring and optimizing energy use in commercial and industrial settings.

Smart Building Technology:
- LED and smart lighting systems (motion sensors, automated dimming).
- High-efficiency HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) and passive cooling/heating designs.

Insulation and Materials: Developing advanced, eco-friendly insulation and phase-change materials to stabilize indoor temperatures.

3. Waste, Water, and The Circular Economy

Topics dealing with resource efficiency, pollution control, and closing material loops.

Waste Management and Recycling:
- Advanced Recycling: Chemical and thermal processes to break down difficult materials (e.g., plastics) into usable raw materials.
- E-Waste Recycling: Efficient recovery of precious metals and materials from electronic devices.
- Waste-to-Energy (W2E): Converting non-recyclable waste into heat or electricity (e.g., incineration, pyrolysis).

Water Management:
- Wastewater Treatment: Advanced filtration, membrane technology, and microbial fuel cells.
- Water Conservation: Rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling, and smart irrigation systems.
- Desalination: Low-energy and renewable-powered desalination techniques.

Circular Economy Models: Designing products for longevity, easy disassembly, and reuse to eliminate waste.

4. Green Transportation

Innovations aimed at decarbonizing the movement of people and goods.

Electric Vehicles (EVs):
- Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs).
- EV charging infrastructure development and smart charging networks.

Alternative Fuels:
- Hydrogen fuel cells for heavy-duty transport (trucks, shipping).
- Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) and low-carbon shipping solutions.

Smart/Sustainable Transit: Integrating public transit systems, cycling, and walking infrastructure into urban planning.

5. Sustainable Agriculture & Land Use

Applying technology to reduce the environmental footprint of food production.

Precision Agriculture: Using sensors, IoT, and data analytics to optimize the application of water, fertilizer, and pest control.

Vertical Farming & Indoor Agriculture: Growing crops in vertically stacked layers in controlled environments, drastically reducing water and land use.

Biopesticides and Biofertilizers: Developing natural, microbial-based alternatives to synthetic chemicals.

Agroecology: Integrating farming with ecological processes (e.g., carbon farming, no-till methods).

6. Environmental Remediation & Carbon Management

Technologies focused on cleaning up existing pollution and removing greenhouse gases.

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS):
- Capturing CO2 emissions directly from industrial sources (e.g., cement, steel).
- Direct Air Capture (DAC): Removing CO2 directly from the ambient air.
- Converting captured CO2 into valuable products (fuels, chemicals, building materials).

Bioremediation: Using microorganisms or plants to remove pollutants or clean up contaminated soil and water.

Pollution Control: Technologies for industrial emissions treatment (e.g., VOCs,NOx, SOx removal).
