Cost metrics and investments in energy generation with renewable sources, on a global scale
Keywords:
clean energy, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), renewable energy, cost studies.Abstract
The objective of this scientific contribution is to analyze the metrics of costs and investments in energy generation with renewable sources on a global scale. To achieve this objective, information from the databases of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Web of Science database is used. Using the tools and data contained in these two platforms, the evolution of costs, investments and scientific productivity in energy generation technologies with renewable sources was analyzed. The main results of the research point to a notable increase in research projects and their financing in this technological sector, which is so important for the planet's energy and climate security.
