Global Energy Demand

Global population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050
Global energy demand could double by 2050
Climate change necessitates cleaner energy sources

Hydroelectric Power

Itaipu Dam, located on the Brazil-Paraguay border, is the world’s largest hydroelectric dam
Constructed between 1966 and 1984
The dam has seven power plants, each capable of producing 200 megawatts of energy
Total potential output of 14,000 megawatts

Geothermal Power

Iceland utilizes geothermal energy due to its volcanic activity
Geothermal power plants convert heat energy from Earth's interior into electricity
Over 25% of Iceland's electricity and heating are powered by geothermal energy
Two geothermal power plants in southeastern Iceland generate over 420 megawatts of electricity

Solar Power

Morocco is building one of the world's largest solar power plants near Ouarzazate
The plant utilizes the Sahara desert's abundant sunshine
Upon completion, the plant will produce 580 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 1.1 million people
