Future Renewable Power Generation Technologies: The Future Costs, Impact and Growth of Green Energy
Business Insights, Sep 2006, Pages: 165
The world today faces two major problems with its energy supply, which is highly dependent on fossil fuels; the first problem relates to security of supply of fossil fuel; the second to the effect of its use on the environment. These two problems have forced the energy industry to face up the prospect of renewable energy as a basis for mainstream power generation.
‘Future Renewable Power Generation Technologies’ is a new management report that sets out the key renewable energy technologies that are available within the energy industry today, as well as potential emerging technologies. It will examine the economics and costs behind these technologies as well as the political and legislative barriers and opportunities that present themselves to the renewable energy market. It also features a proprietary executive survey conducted by Business Insights, in August 2006.With over 100 executive respondents from the energy industry, it allows you to benchmark your opinions against those of the industry as a whole.
Use this new report’s independent, expert analysis of all available data to directly compare the investment case and future prospects of different power generation technologies.
Some Key Findings from This Report:
- Energy collected from around one per cent of the earth's surface could provide for all current electricity demand.
- Solar energy generates many of the other sources of energy that can be used to generate electricity including hydro, wind, wave and biomass.
- The cost to society of fossil fuel power generation would rise, in comparison to that from most renewable sources, if it was recouped in the form of a tax on power generation.
- Hydropower is the most widely exploited and the best understood renewable energy resource available for power generation today.
- A doubling of global capacity of wind power within four years, to 120,000MW seems easily achievable.
- Biomass has the power to make a significant contribution to renewable energy. However, there is little established infrastructure capable of collecting biomass from whatever source and delivering it to a power plant.
This New Report Will Provide You With:
- Our exclusive renewable energy executive survey 2006, an industry executive survey of over 100 respondents. The respondents were mostly based in Western Europe (72%); however
6% were from Eastern Europe, 6% were from North America, 1% were based in Japan and the remaining 15% were from the rest of the world.
- Detailed technical analysis of hydropower, wind power, biomass, solar power and marine power technologies.
- Economics, together with resources, sites as well as project types and viability and feasibility studies into each renewable energy technology.
- Environmental considerations and capital and generating costs for each technology.
- Political and legislative barriers and opportunities for each technology, including an examination of the green trading schemes, carbon taxes and the EU Emission Trading Schemes.
- Future prospects for power generation of each renewable technology and their growth capacity.
Key Questions Answered in this Report:
- What are the renewable energy technologies in the market today and how are they developing?
- Are green tariffs likely to attract a significant market share in the next five years?
- What are the costs associated with each technology?
- Which of the renewable energy technologies is the most economically attractive in the short term and which in the long term?
- How long will it be before renewable energies can compete directly with traditional energy sources?
- What are the environmental considerations for each technology?
- Which is the most attractive technology for power generation?
Hot Issues Analysed in this Report:
- Environmental considerations - the environmental effects of increased uptake of different technologies for power generation.
- Costs - how they stack up against one another, the most viable costs and how they are changing with new developments in technology.
- Legislation and regulation - the political and legislative barriers and opportunities within the renewable energy industry and how they will impact on the development of renewable energy as a viable energy source.
- Time scale - the time scale for renewable energy technologies to become commercially viable as an alternative to fossil fuel energy and the factors that will influence this time-scale.
- Industry opinion - Investment in renewable energy is dependent upon key changes in the attitudes of industry executives. What do they forecast as the leading technologies and the prospects for renewable energy as a whole?
Top 5 Reasons to Order Your Report:
- Understand the long term prospects for renewable energy technologies.
- Identify the time scale for making renewable technologies economically viable as an alternative to fossil fuel energy.
- Assess the technology behind each renewable energy in the industry.
- Quantify the costs, both capital and environmental, behind the renewable energies today.
