This is a bibliography of renewable energy.

Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished). About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewables, with 10% coming from traditional biomass, which is mainly used for heating, and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro, modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels) account for another 3% and are growing very rapidly.

Total investment in renewable energy reached $244 billion in 2012. The top countries for investment in recent years were China, Germany, Spain, the United States, Italy, and Brazil.REN21 (2012).

Leading renewable energy companies include BrightSource Energy, Enercon, First Solar, Gamesa, GE Energy, Goldwind, Nordex, Sinovel, Suntech, Trina Solar, Vestas and Yingli.Top of the list, Renewable Energy World, 2 January 2006.Keith Johnson, Wind Shear: GE Wins, Vestas Loses in Wind-Power Market Race, Wall Street Journal, March 25th 2009, accessed on January 7th 2010.
