EU: HEAT SUPPLY<br />

74 R<strong>en</strong>ewable Energy Sources in Figures<br />

R<strong>en</strong>ewables-based heat supply in the EU<br />

Roughly half the total final <strong>en</strong>ergy supplied in the EU-27 is due to the heating sector. However,<br />

the r<strong>en</strong>ewables contribution in this segm<strong>en</strong>t was only around 10 %. Thus r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy<br />

sources are less important in the heating market than in the electricity market (s<strong>ee</strong> preceding<br />

pages).<br />

By far the biggest r<strong>en</strong>ewable resource in the heating sector is biomass, with a share of around<br />

97 % or 646 TWh, the greatest part being due to wood in private households. The contribution<br />

by the other two segm<strong>en</strong>ts, solar thermal and geothermal <strong>en</strong>ergy, is comparatively unimportant<br />

at 2 % and 1 % respectively.<br />

Developm<strong>en</strong>t of the solar thermal market<br />

Sales on the EU solar thermal market declined in 2010 for the second year running.<br />

Observ’ER estimates that a total of around 2.6 GW th new solar collector capacity was installed,<br />

compared to around 2.9 GW th in 2009 and 3.2 GW th in 2008. New capacity in 2010 is
