In renewable energy: innovative technologies that harness RE resources, typically in the early stages of development or adoption, and often offer novel solutions to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, promote sustainability, and address specific challenges within the RE sector such as, but not limited to: advanced solar photovoltaics (PV) with higher efficiency and lower costs, next-generation wind turbines designed for improved performance and reliability, tidal and wave energy converters, innovative biomass conversion processes, advanced energy storage technologies such as flow batteries and green hydrogen storage systems, bioenergy solutions, and enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) and advanced geothermal systems (AGS), which enable the extraction of geothermal energy from resources that were previously considered uneconomical or inaccessible [Section 3(p), Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 9513, as amended by Section 1, DOE Department Circular No. DC2025-09-0014, Prescribing Amendments to Department Circular No. DC2009-05-0008 Titled “Rules and Regulations Implementing Republic Act No. 9513, Otherwise Known as the ‘Renewable Energy Act of 2008’”]
