报告摘要：The global transition to a decarbonized energy system necessitates the development of sustainable power technologies that are efficient, scalable, and environmentally benign. This article explores emerging options—such as advanced solar photovoltaics, offshore wind, green hydrogen, and next-generation energy storage systems—that hold promise for reshaping the future energy landscape. Critical challenges, including intermittency, resource availability, and integration with existing infrastructure, are analyzed alongside potential pathways to overcome these barriers. The role of smart grids, AI-driven energy management, and circular economy principles in enhancing the viability of these technologies is also discussed. By evaluating technological readiness, economic feasibility, and environmental impact, this study aims to provide a holistic perspective on how sustainable power technologies can collectively support global climate goals and foster energy resilience in the coming decades.
