4 Renewable Energy in the World Nuclear: 2.5% Fossil Fuels: 79.1% Renewable Energy 18.0% Traditional Biomass (9.6%) Modern Biomass (3.7%) Biofuels (0.8%) Wind (0.3%) Solar (0.2%) Biogas (0.2%) Geothermal (0.2%) Waste (0.1%) Marine (< 0.01%) Hydro (3.1%) Source: IEA RE supplied an estimated 18% of global final energy consumption UN Secretary General s goal : doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix by 2030 Renewable energy continued to grow strongly despite policy uncertainty in some countries, the geography of renewables is expanding as prices fall and policies spread 4/24/2013 4

5 Global Market Overview Power Markets Renewables accounted for nearly half of the estimated 208GW of new electric capacity installed in 2011 Renewable energy comprised more than 25% of global power generation capacity 20.3% of global electricity was produced from renewable energy In 2011, new renewable capacity installed comprised: - wind (almost 40%) - solar photovoltaics (PV) (almost 30%) - hydropower (nearly 25%) 4/24/2013 5

7 Solar Power Click to edit Master title style 30GW of new solar PV capacity came into being in 2012 Global cumulative installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity has surpassed 100 GW in 2012, achieving just over 101 GW Prices of solar PV modules fell by more than 40 % in 2011 and by another 20 % in 2012 REN21 Global Renewable Energy Development 4/24/2013 7

8 Wind Power Click to edit Master title style In 2012, more than 40 GW of wind power capacity were installed, increasing the global total to 282 GW can be characterized as record year for US installations and a slower market in China. Asia still led global markets, but with North America a close second, and Europe not far behind. 4/24/2013 8

9 Concentrating Solar Thermal Power (CSP) Click to edit Master title style March 2013: Opening of Shams 100 MW CSP installation in the United Arab Emirates which makes it the largest parabolic trough power station in the world End of 2012: start of construction of 160 MW of CSP installation in Ourzazate in Morocco 4/24/2013 9

10 Global Market Overview Heating & Cooling Transition towards the use of larger Second systems, level increasing use of CHP and district schemes. Growing trend Fourth to use level solar resources to generate process heat for industry. Click to edit Master title style Solar hot water used in over 200 million households and commercial buildings.
