RENEWABLE ENERGY can make a vital contribution to our energy sustainability, energy independence and energy affordability. Yet, RENEWABLE ENERGY has been the subject of many exaggerated claims and unrealistic expectations. As is the case with all types of energy, It’s important to know what RENEWABLE ENERGY can do and what it can’t do. And to have the expertise to tell the difference. it is therefore crucial to know the pros and cons of the different types of RENEWABLE ENERGY. That’s what RESEARCH on RENEWABLE ENERGY is all about.

I am GEORGE VAN (PhD, Cambridge) and I share my mindset, insights and outlook on RENEWABLE ENERGY. I liaise with technical experts, industry leaders and policy makers. Together we inform, shape and advance the public debate on RENEWABLE ENERGY and critically examine RESEARCH on RENEWABLE ENERGY that is realistic, reliable and reasonable. Through my own academic research, executive training and business practice, I have taken a keen interest in the operational, business and security argument for RENEWABLE ENERGY:

(1) The operational argument for renewable energy is threefold: Sources of renewable energy are for the most part superior to sources of conventional non-renewable energy in terms of energy provision efficacy, energy conversion efficiency and energy financial economies. (2) The business argument for renewable energy is threefold: Sources of renewable energy such as wind, hydro, solar and geothermal energy as well as biomass and biofuel energy exhibit flexibility in local availability, a diversified risk-return trade-off and a favourable cost-benefit profile. (3) The security argument for renewable energy is threefold: Sources of renewable energy are required to pass a triple litmus test in that they be realistic energy for energy sustainability, reliable energy for energy independence and reasonable energy for energy affordability.
