Thomson-Reuters Predict Solar Power Will Dominate Energy by 2025

You heard it here first, though. We predicted that solar energy will provide 100% of our energy needs by 2027 . Now, just over a year since we made that projection, a new study by Thomson-Reuters analysts says that by 2025, solar will provide the majority of our energy. The newly-released study says: This paper is a compilation of 10 innovation predictions for the world in 2025, based on research done by Thomson Reuters analysts using the company's patent and scientific literature solutions... In 2025, Solar is the largest source of energy on the planet. Methods for harvesting, storing and converting solar energy are so advanced and efficient that it becomes the primary source of energy on our planet. Thanks to improvements in photovoltaic technology, chemical bonding, photocatalysts and three-dimensional nanoscale heterojunctions, the use of the sun as the world's primary source of energy is no longer for the environmentally conscious select; it is for the masses. The sun's energy will be harvested much more efficiently. Its energy will be stored and used when needed. And the conversion of solar power will be much more efficient. Solar thermal and solar photovoltaic energy (from new dye-sensitized and thin-film materials) will heat buildings, water, and provide energy for devices in the home and office, as well as in retail buildings and manufacturing facilities. Chemical bonds, a photosynthetic process, will make solar energy available when needed. Increased efficiency of energy conversion will be realized through new materials such as cobalt-oxide and titanium-oxide nanostructures, photocatalysts and 3D nanoscale heterojunctions; while new methods using mesoscopic oxide films sensitized by dyes or quantum dots will contribute to improving the 2014 solar conversion efficiency rate of less than 10 percent.
