The Renewable Energy Institute has seen a growing need to provide a central source of information on the full range of renewable energy technologies. Inquiries from federal and state governments, colleges and universities, renewable energy companies, foreign companies and governments, journalists, and the general public have revealed that such an information source was sorely lacking. National energy statistics generally identify only the ''tip of the iceberg'' by surveying traditional supply sources (e.g. electric utilities) and group the renewable energy contribution into the ''other'' category. Because of their decentralized application, the direct contribution of these technologies and their displacement of conventional energy sources are often overlooked. The Annual Renewable Energy Technology Review: Progress Through 1984 marks the second effort by the Renewable Energy Institute to quantify the contribution of renewable energy. The publication has been greatly expanded from the previous edition. Information on total resources availability, international activities, and state government incentives has been added. Also, sections which appeared in the previous edition on technology status, industry status, and market status have been enhanced to provide readers with vital information for evaluating the status and prospects of each technology.
