- 4 Renewables 13.1% of world TPES - Geothermal 0.414%, Solar 0.039%, Wind 0.064%, Tide 0.0004%
- 5 Avg Annual growth rates of renewables: 1971-2004. Wind is 48.1%, solar 28.1%
- 5 2004 regional shares in supply of combustible renewables, hydro, and "new" - OECD dominates latter
- 6 Renewables in electricity production: 17.9%, but hydro is 16.1%,
- 7 Cost comparison of small hydro, solar PV, concentrating solar, biomass, geothermal, wind
- 7 Need for renewables to become cost competitive; paper doesn't mention, but flip side is that less jobs would be created
- 8 Longevity of policy supports important; feed-in tariffs usually have 8 to 20 year time frame
- 8 Biomass district heating plants in Austria
- 8 Three gens of renewable energy: hydro, biomass, geothermal; solar PV, wind, solar heating and cooling; concentrating solar, ocean energy, hot dry rock geothermals, advances in nanotech
- **10&11 Share of renewables by country for 2004, including and excluding combustable renewables and waste BUT DOES NOT EXCLUDE HYDRO, 68 countries. Not sure how measurements are obtained (defns on p 25)
- 12 Share of renewables by world region for 2004, separates out combustables, hydro, and others.
- 13 Alternative policy scenarios to 2030: fossil fuels acct for 77% of primary energy demand and CO2 emissions 8 Gt higher than today. These and other alternative scenarios outlined in second half of paper.
- 15 Large-scale hydropower was 2nd largest electricity source 5 years ago, now 4th. Mentions that environmental and social concerns have curtailed growth.
- 24 Definitions of types of renewables
- 25 Renewables technology development; sorted by generation
- 25 World potential for geothermal power gen estminated at 85 GW over next 30 years
- 26 Every doubling of volume of PV produced prompted cost decrease of 20%
- 28 Concentrating solar power - useful in arid or semi-arid climates. "Parabolic trough" is favored technology - no idea what this means.
