Outlook On Renewable Energy In America is a comprehensive two volume report, published in 2007 by The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), about the future of renewable energy in the United States.〔(''The Outlook On Renewable Energy In America'' )〕 It has been said that this report exposes a "new reality for renewable energy in America".〔(635 GW Possible with U.S. Political Shift )〕 Volume One of the report presents background information on government research conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Energy Information Administration, Electric Power Research Institute and other institutions. It also collates information from industry associations such as the American Wind Energy Association, Solar Energy Industries Association, National Hydropower Association, as well as some non-profit organizations.〔(Energy leaders call for long-term commitments to renewable resources )〕 ''Joint Outlook on Renewable Energy in America'' is the second volume of the report which presents a scenario compiled by the American renewable energy community. ACORE makes it clear that this report is not a forecast -- it is a scenario of what is achievable if the country wants renewables to reach their full potential, and is willing to embrace the public policies to make that happen.〔(''Joint Outlook on Renewable Energy in America'' ) Joint Outlook on Renewable Energy in America〕 ACORE released an update of the report in March 2014, which assesses the marketplace and forecasts the future of each renewable energy technology sector from the perspectives of U.S. renewable energy trade associations. Each sector forecast is accompanied by a list of the trade association’s specific policy recommendations that they believe might encourage continued industry growth.〔(ACORE Releases Outlook for Renewable Energy in America: 2014, Jointly Authored by U.S. Renewable Energy Trade Associations )〕 ==Scenario== According to experts, renewable energy could provide up to 635 gigawatts (GW) of new electricity generating capacity by 2025 – a substantial contribution and potentially more than the nation’s need for new capacity. According to this scenario, this capacity could come from a wide array of new technologies utilizing the full range of our renewable resources:〔(''Joint Outlook on Renewable Energy in America'' ) page 7〕 *Wind power could provide 248 GW by 2025 *Solar energy and power could provide 164 GW *Geothermal energy and power 100 GW *Biomass energy, power, and fuels 100 GW *Water power 23 GW〔 In addition, the scenario shows that renewable fuels could meet a large portion of U.S. liquid fuel needs. Recent studies show that biofuels could supply 30% to 40% of U.S. petroleum products by 2030. Ethanol fuel alone could reach per year by the end of the first quarter of 2009, a significant contribution to the approximately of gasoline consumed annually.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Outlook On Renewable Energy In America」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
