- 287 dams provide 12% of the energy for state
- Biofuels
- Animal waste and organic waste is put into a tank and left to ferment, the methane is a product and is used for cooking and producing electricity
- It has low emission rate for producing heat
- Solar Energy - California
- Concentrating Solar Power (CSP): Generates electricity by concentrating the solar energy to heat a fluid which produces steam
- Solar Photovoltaic (PV): Directly convert the solar energy into electricity with PV cells in panels
- Hydrogen Technology; Toyota
- Most abundant element in the universe but is combined with others (eg. carbon)
- It can provide an alternative to oil once separated. This can be done with renewable energy
- It can power vehicles with water as exhausts
- Toyota has made a hydrogen fuel cell which is used in the car 'The Mirai'. The car has 4 motors (one for each wheel) which uses electricity converted by hydrogen
