Abstract

The present world energy supply system is facing three basic problems: limitation of fossil fuel resources, climate change by carbon dioxide emission, and insecurity by nuclear weapon competence and radioactive materials. The strategic goal therefore should be: transition to unlimited resources, zero-emission fuels and no options for abuse. Renewable energies, in particular solar energy as the most abundant form, are an alternative for a global energy supply. Solar energy cannot be depleted by using it: it comes to earth at day as light, and leaves to outer space as heat radiation at day and night – wheth er we “use“ it or not. Being non-material solar energy does not create pollution, and the biotope earth is in natural balance with it. The most efficient places to harvest solar energy in large amounts are the deserts. This paper studies the change in the climate and the related progress in using renewable energy also, the effect of climate change on the future of solar energy, moreover the future of solar energy in Oman.
