This report discusses some examples of the implementation of the world’s most common artificial and natural methods for converting hydrosphere energy. Most of them were discovered long ago, but until recently they were practically not used for energy production due to the complexity of implementation and low economic efficiency

In 2011-2012 The parity of the cost of energy of thermal power plants on fossil fuels and the cost of energy from wind farms and solar power stations had come. Since 2017, the capacities of introduced renewable energy sources in the world have exceeded the volumes of commissioned capacities of traditional energy.

As it was said on the Rio-de-Janeiro sustainable development confer- ence in 1992, economy without ecology is a way to a deadlock, and ecology without economy is a way to nowhere. The determining factor in this conflict of tendencies is energy.

The work is devoted to economic and geographical features and prospects for the development of renewable energy in the world. Three main as- pects are distinguished: structural, innovative and investment.
