2.6 GW for non-specified renewables and wastes. From these figures<br />
provided by IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2002, it can be assumed that<br />
worldwide biopower capacity is around 37 GW. Electricity generation from<br />
solid biomass has been steadily increasing in the European Union over the<br />
course of the last decade with growth averaging 2.5% per year<br />
(see Figure 40). The market in the European Union has become particularly<br />
dynamic (see Figure 42).<br />
