forewordThe Global Energy[R]evolution seriespresents us with acompelling vision of an<strong>energy</strong> future for asustainable world. Thescenarios proposed by<strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionhave gained a reputationfor <strong>the</strong> insight andexplanations <strong>the</strong>yprovide decision makers.This fourth editioncarries on this tradition,by outlining an updatedand well-articulatedpathway to achieve <strong>the</strong>transition to a <strong>global</strong>sustainable <strong>energy</strong>future. The InternationalRenewable Energy Agency(IRENA) welcomes <strong>the</strong>recognition of <strong>the</strong> centralrole that renewable<strong>energy</strong> will play in thisnew <strong>energy</strong> paradigm.contentsat a glanceforeword 4introduction 12executive summary 1412climate & <strong>energy</strong> policy 19<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong>[r]evolution concept 2634implementing <strong>the</strong><strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution 48scenarios for a future<strong>energy</strong> supply 54image LA DEHESA 50 MW PARABOLIC SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANT.

Achieving this transition relies on addressing key <strong>energy</strong> issues suchas access to modern <strong>energy</strong> services, security of supply and <strong>the</strong>sustainability of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> mix. Environmental degradation,increasing <strong>energy</strong> demand, and unsustainable resource use arecritical challenges that must be addressed. Renewable <strong>energy</strong> willplay an essential role in advancing sustainable development byimproving <strong>the</strong> access of millions to <strong>energy</strong>, whilst helping ensure<strong>energy</strong> security, and mitigating <strong>the</strong> existential risk of climate changeby reducing emissions.The benefits associated with renewable <strong>energy</strong> are influencing howcountries meet <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>energy</strong> needs, <strong>the</strong> increase in policies andinvestment <strong>global</strong>ly attests to this. This growth in <strong>the</strong> uptake ofrenewable <strong>energy</strong> - <strong>the</strong> “Silent Revolution” - is playing out across <strong>the</strong>globe: over <strong>the</strong> last decade 430,000 MW of renewable <strong>energy</strong>capacity has been installed, with <strong>global</strong> total investment reaching arecord $ 257 billion in 2011, a year in which renewable <strong>energy</strong>became a trillion dollar industry, and <strong>the</strong> cost of modern renewable<strong>energy</strong> technologies continued to fall.Accelerating <strong>the</strong> “Silent Revolution” <strong>global</strong>ly requires greaterlevels of commitment and cooperation to develop enabling policy,combined with practical business solutions. To enable this, policymakers, scientists and businesses require access to up-to-date,relevant and reliable data. Scenarios are a helpful aid for decisionmaking, by mapping out <strong>the</strong> complex issues and information thatmust be considered. Through its investigation of issues surrounding<strong>the</strong> future of <strong>energy</strong>, <strong>the</strong> Global Energy [R]evolution 2012 makesan invaluable contribution to informing <strong>global</strong> decisions-makers.The Global Energy [R]evolution publication provides an importantcomplement to IRENA’s efforts to provide knowledge and know-how,and to facilitate <strong>the</strong> flow of information encouraging <strong>the</strong> deploymentof renewables. Therefore, it is with pleasure that IRENA welcomesthis fourth edition of <strong>the</strong> Global Energy [R]evolution scenario, and<strong>the</strong> contribution <strong>the</strong> European Renewable Energy Council andGreenpeace have made to <strong>the</strong> vital debate on transitioning <strong>the</strong> worldto a more secure and sustainable <strong>energy</strong> future.Adnan Z.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKintroduction“FOR THE SAKE OF A SOUND ENVIRONMENT, POLITICAL STABILITY AND THRIVING ECONOMIES, NOW IS THE TIME TO COMMITTO A TRULY SECURE AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FUTURE.”© SEAWIFS PROJECT, NASA/GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER, AND ORBIMAGEimage DUST IS SEEN BLOWING ACROSS THE WEST COAST OF SOUTHERN AFRICA FROM ANGOLA TO SOUTH AFRICA.The world’s <strong>energy</strong> system has bestowed great benefits on society,but it has also come with high price tag: climate change, which isoccurring due to a build of carbon dioxide and o<strong>the</strong>r greenhousegases in <strong>the</strong> atmosphere caused by human activity; military andeconomic conflict due to uneven distribution of fossil resources;and millions of premature deaths and illness due to <strong>the</strong> air andwater pollution inherent in fossil fuel production and consumption.The largest proportion of <strong>global</strong> fossil fuel use is to generate power, forheating and lighting, and for transport. Business-as-usual growth offossil-fuels is fundamentally unsustainable. Climate change threatensall continents, coastal cities, food production and ecosystems. It willmean more natural disasters such as fire and floods, disruption ofagriculture and damage to property as sea levels rise.The pursuit of <strong>energy</strong> security, while remaining dependent on fossilfuel will lead to increasing greenhouse gas emissions and moreextreme climate impacts. Rising demand and rising prices drives <strong>the</strong>fossil fuel industry towards unconventional sources such as tar sands,shale gas and super-coal mines which destroy ecosystems and putwater supplies in danger. The inherent volatility of fossil fuel pricesputs more strain on an already stressed <strong>global</strong> economy.According to <strong>the</strong> Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,<strong>global</strong> mean temperatures are expected to increase over <strong>the</strong> nexthundred years by up to 6.4° C if no action is taken to reduce12greenhouse gas emissions. This is much faster than anythingexperienced in human history. As average temperature increasesapproach 2°C or more, damage to ecosystems and disruption to <strong>the</strong>climate system increases dramatically, threatening millions of peoplewith increased risk of hunger, disease, flooding and water shortage.A certain amount of climate change is now “locked in”, based on<strong>the</strong> amount of carbon dioxide and o<strong>the</strong>r greenhouse gases alreadyemitted into <strong>the</strong> atmosphere since industrialisation began. No oneknows how much warming is “safe” for life on <strong>the</strong> planet.However, what we know is that <strong>the</strong> effects of climate change arealready being felt by populations and ecosystems. We can alreadysee melting glaciers, disintegrating polar ice, thawing permafrost,dying coral reefs, rising sea levels, changing ecosystems and fatalheat waves that are made more severe by a changed climate.Japan’s major nuclear accident at Fukushima in March 2011following a tsunami came 25 years after <strong>the</strong> disastrous explosion in<strong>the</strong> Chernobyl nuclear power plant in former Soviet Union, showingthat nuclear <strong>energy</strong> is an inherently unsafe source of power. TheFukushima disaster triggered a surge in <strong>global</strong> renewable <strong>energy</strong>and <strong>energy</strong> efficiency deals. At <strong>the</strong> same time, <strong>the</strong> poor state of <strong>the</strong><strong>global</strong> economy has resulted in decreasing carbon prices, somegovernments reducing support for renewables, and a stagnation ofoverall investment, particularly in <strong>the</strong> OECD.

GUANGDONG PROVINCE HAS ONE OF THEBEST WIND RESOURCES IN CHINA AND IS ALREADYHOME TO SEVERAL INDUSTRIAL SCALE WIND FARMS.© GP/XUAN CANXIONGRising oil demand is putting pressure on supply causing prices torise which make possible increased exploration for “marginal andunconventional” oil resources, such as regions of <strong>the</strong> Arctic newlyaccessible due to retreating polar ice, and <strong>the</strong> environmentallydestructive tar sands project in Canada.For almost a decade it looked as if nothing could halt <strong>the</strong> growthof <strong>the</strong> renewable industries and <strong>the</strong>ir markets. The only way wasup. However <strong>the</strong> economic crisis in 2008/2009 and its continuingaftermath slowed growth and dampened demand. While <strong>the</strong>renewable industry is slowly recovering, increased competition,particularly in <strong>the</strong> solar PV and wind markets has driven downprices and shaved margins to <strong>the</strong> point where most manufacturersare struggling to survive. This is good news for <strong>the</strong> consumer,however, as <strong>the</strong> prices for solar PV fell more than 60% between2010 and 2012, and wind turbine prices have also decreasedsubstantially. This means that renewables are directly competitivewith heavily subsidized conventional generation in an increasingnumber of markets, but for <strong>the</strong> industry to meet its full potentialgovernments need to act to reduce <strong>the</strong> 600 billion USD/annum insubsidies to fossil fuels, and move ahead with pricing CO2 emissionsand o<strong>the</strong>r external costs of conventional generation.As renewables play an increasing role in <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> system, one can nolonger speak of ‘integration’ of renewables’ but ‘transformation’, movingaway from <strong>the</strong> reliance on a few large power plants, or single fuels to aflexible system based on a wide variety of renewable sources of supply,some of which are variable. Investments in new infrastructure, smartergrids, better storage technologies and a new <strong>energy</strong> policy which takesall <strong>the</strong>se new technologies into account are required.<strong>the</strong> new <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolutionThe IPCC’s Special Report on Renewable Energy and ClimateChange (SRREN) chose <strong>the</strong> last Energy [R]evolution edition(published in 2010) as one of <strong>the</strong> four benchmark scenarios forclimate mitigation <strong>energy</strong> scenarios. The Energy [R]evolution was<strong>the</strong> most ambitious, combining an uptake of renewable <strong>energy</strong> andrigorous <strong>energy</strong> efficiency measures to put forward <strong>the</strong> highestrenewable <strong>energy</strong> share by 2050, although some o<strong>the</strong>r scenariosactually had higher total quantities of renewables. Following <strong>the</strong>publication of <strong>the</strong> SRREN in May 2011 in Abu Dhabi, <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution has been widely quoted in <strong>the</strong> scientific literature.The Energy [R]evolution 2012 takes into account <strong>the</strong> significantchanges in <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> sector debate over <strong>the</strong> past two years. InJapan, <strong>the</strong> Fukushima Nuclear disaster following <strong>the</strong> devastatingtsunami triggered a faster phase-out of nuclear power in Germany, andraised <strong>the</strong> level of debate in many countries. The Deepwater Horizondisaster in <strong>the</strong> Gulf of Mexico in 2010 highlighted <strong>the</strong> damage that canbe done to eco-systems and livelihoods, while oil companies started newoil exploration in ever-more sensitive environments such as <strong>the</strong> ArcticCircle. The Energy [R]evolution oil pathway is based on a detailedanalysis of <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> conventional oil resources, <strong>the</strong> currentinfrastructure of those industries, <strong>the</strong> estimated production capacitiesof existing oil wells in <strong>the</strong> light of projected production decline ratesand <strong>the</strong> investment plans known by end 2011. To end our addiction tooil, financial resources must flow from 2012 onwards to developingnew and larger markets for renewable <strong>energy</strong> technologies and <strong>energy</strong>efficiency to avoid “locking in” new fossil fuel infrastructure.Rapid cost reductions in <strong>the</strong> renewable <strong>energy</strong> sector have made itpossible to increase <strong>the</strong>ir share in power generation, heating andcooling and <strong>the</strong> transport sector faster than in previous editions. For<strong>the</strong> first time, this report takes a closer look at required investmentcosts for renewable heating technologies. The employment calculationhas been expanded to <strong>the</strong> heating sector as well and <strong>the</strong> overallmethodology of <strong>the</strong> employment calculation has been improved.For <strong>the</strong> urgently needed access to <strong>energy</strong> for <strong>the</strong> almost 2 billionpeople who lack it at present, we have developed a new “bottomup” electrification concept in <strong>the</strong> North Indian state of Bihar (seechapter 2). New technology coupled with innovative finance mayresult in a new wave of rural electrification programs implementedby local people. A power plant market analysis of <strong>the</strong> past 40 yearshas been added to fur<strong>the</strong>r develop <strong>the</strong> replacement strategy for oldpower plants. While <strong>the</strong> solar photovoltaic and wind installationhave been increased, <strong>the</strong> use of bio-<strong>energy</strong> has been reduced due toenvironmental concerns (see page 212). Concentrated solar powerstations and offshore wind remain cornerstones of <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution, while we are aware that both technologies experienceincreasing difficulty raising finance than some o<strong>the</strong>r renewabletechnologies. Therefore we urge governments to introduce <strong>the</strong>required policy frameworks to lower <strong>the</strong> risks for investors. Newstorage technologies need to move from R&D to marketimplementation; again this requires long term policy decisions.Without those new storage technologies, e.g. methane producedfrom renewables (see chapter 9), a transition towards more efficientelectric mobility will be more difficult.Last but not least, <strong>the</strong> automobile industry needs to movetowards smaller and lighter vehicles to bring down <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong>demand and introduce new technologies. We urge carmanufactures to finally move forward and repeat <strong>the</strong> hugesuccesses of <strong>the</strong> renewable <strong>energy</strong> industry.This fourth edition of <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution shows that with only1% of <strong>global</strong> GDP invested in renewable <strong>energy</strong> by 2050,12 million jobs would be created in <strong>the</strong> renewable sector alone; and<strong>the</strong> fuel costs savings would cover <strong>the</strong> additional investment twotimes over. To conclude, <strong>the</strong>re are no real technical or economicbarriers to implementing <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution. It is <strong>the</strong> lack ofpolitical will that is to blame for <strong>the</strong> slow progress to date.Josche MuthPRESIDENTEUROPEAN RENEWABLEENERGY COUNCIL (EREC)Sven TeskeCLIMATE & ENERGY UNITGREENPEACE INTERNATIONALJUNE 2012Steve SawyerSECRETARY GENERALGLOBAL WIND ENERGYCOUNCIL (GWEC)13


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKexecutive summary“AT THE CORE OF THE ENERGY [R]EVOLUTION WILL BE A CHANGE IN THE WAY THAT ENERGY IS PRODUCED, DISTRIBUTED AND CONSUMED.”© MARKEL REDONDO/GREENPEACEimage GEMASOLAR, A 15 MWE SOLAR-ONLY POWER TOWER PLANT. IT’S 16-HOUR MOLTEN SALT STORAGE SYSTEM CAN DELIVER POWER AROUND THE CLOCK. IT RUNS THEEQUIVALENT OF 6,570 FULL HOURS OUT OF A 8,769 TOTAL. GEMASOLAR IS OWNED BY TORRESOL ENERGY AND HAS BEEN COMPLETED IN MAY 2011.The Energy [R]evolution Scenario has became a well known andwell respected <strong>energy</strong> analysis since it was first published forEurope in 2005. This is <strong>the</strong> fourth Global Energy [R]evolutionscenario; earlier editions were published in 2007, 2008 and 2010.The Energy [R]evolution 2012 provides a consistent fundamentalpathway for how to protect our climate: getting <strong>the</strong> world fromwhere we are now to where we need to be by phasing out fossilfuels and cutting CO2 emissions while ensuring <strong>energy</strong> security.The evolution of <strong>the</strong> scenarios has included a detailedemployment analysis in 2010, and now this edition expands <strong>the</strong>research fur<strong>the</strong>r to incorporate new demand and transportprojections, new constraints for <strong>the</strong> oil and gas pathways andtechno-economic aspects of renewable heating systems. While <strong>the</strong>2010 edition had two scenarios – a basic and an advancedEnergy [R]evolution, this edition puts forward only one; based on<strong>the</strong> previous ‘advanced’ case.<strong>the</strong> fossil fuel dilemmaRaising <strong>energy</strong> demand is putting pressure on fossil fuel supplyand now pushing oil exploration towards “unconventional” oilresources. Remote and sensitive environments such as <strong>the</strong> Arcticare under threat from increased drilling, while <strong>the</strong>environmentally destructive tar sands projects in Canada arebeing pursued to extract more marginal sources. However,scarcity of conventional oil is not <strong>the</strong> most pressing reason tophase-out fossil fuels: cutting back dramatically is essential tosave <strong>the</strong> climate of our planet. Switching from fossil fuels torenewables also offers substantial benefits such as independencefrom world market fossil fuel prices and <strong>the</strong> creation of millionsof new green jobs. It can also provide <strong>energy</strong> to <strong>the</strong> two billionpeople currently without access to <strong>energy</strong> services. The Energy[R]evolution 2012 took a closer look at <strong>the</strong> measures required tophase-out oil faster in order to save <strong>the</strong> Arctic from oilexploration, avoid dangerous deep sea drilling projects and toleave oil shale in <strong>the</strong> ground.14

WE ALSOHAVE TWO CHILDREN AND WE CANNOT MANAGE TO FEED THEM.”© GP/PETER CATONclimate change threatsThe threat of climate change, caused by rising <strong>global</strong>temperatures, is <strong>the</strong> most significant environmental challengefacing <strong>the</strong> world at <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> 21st century. It hasmajor implications for <strong>the</strong> world’s social and economic stability,its natural resources and in particular, <strong>the</strong> way we produceour <strong>energy</strong>.In order to avoid <strong>the</strong> most catastrophic impacts of climatechange, <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> temperature increase must be kept as farbelow 2°C as possible. This is still possible, but time is runningout. To stay within this limit, <strong>global</strong> greenhouse gas emissions willneed to peak by 2015 and decline rapidly after that, reaching asclose to zero as possible by <strong>the</strong> middle of <strong>the</strong> 21st century. Themain greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by usingfossil fuels for <strong>energy</strong> and transport. Keeping <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong>temperature increase to 2°C is often referred to as a ‘safe level’of warming, but this does not reflect <strong>the</strong> reality of <strong>the</strong> latestscience. This shows that a warming of 2°C above pre-industriallevels would pose unacceptable risks to many of <strong>the</strong> world’s keynatural and human systems. 1 Even with a 1.5°C warming,increases in drought, heat waves and floods, along with o<strong>the</strong>radverse impacts such as increased water stress for up to 1.7billion people, wildfire frequency and flood risks, are projected inmany regions. Nei<strong>the</strong>r does staying below 2°C rule out largescaledisasters such as melting ice sheets. Partial de-glaciation of<strong>the</strong> Greenland ice sheet, and possibly <strong>the</strong> West Antarctic icesheet, could even occur from additional warming within a rangeof 0.8 – 3.8°C above current levels. 2 If rising temperatures are tobe kept within acceptable limits <strong>the</strong>n we need to significantlyreduce our greenhouse gas emissions. This makes bo<strong>the</strong>nvironmental and economic sense.<strong>global</strong> negotiationRecognising <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> threats of climate change, <strong>the</strong> signatoriesto <strong>the</strong> 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC) agreed to <strong>the</strong> Kyoto Protocol in 1997. The Protocolentered into force in early 2005 and its 193 members meetcontinuously to negotiate fur<strong>the</strong>r refinement and development of<strong>the</strong> agreement. Only one major industrialised nation, <strong>the</strong> UnitedStates, has not ratified <strong>the</strong> protocol. In 2011, Canada announcedits intention to withdraw from <strong>the</strong> protocol. In Copenhagen in2009, <strong>the</strong> members of <strong>the</strong> UNFCCC were not able to deliver anew climate change agreement towards ambitious and fairemission reductions. At <strong>the</strong> 2012 Conference of <strong>the</strong> Parties inDurban, <strong>the</strong>re was agreement to reach a new agreement by 2015and to adopt a second commitment period at <strong>the</strong> end of 2012.However, <strong>the</strong> United Nations Environment Program’s examinationof <strong>the</strong> climate action pledges for 2020 shows a major gapbetween what <strong>the</strong> science demands to curb climate change andwhat <strong>the</strong> countries plan to do. The proposed mitigation pledgesput forward by governments are likely to allow <strong>global</strong> warming toat least 2.5 to 5 degrees temperature increase above preindustriallevels. 3<strong>the</strong> nuclear issueThe nuclear industry promises that nuclear <strong>energy</strong> can contributeto both climate protection and <strong>energy</strong> security, however <strong>the</strong>irclaims are not supported by data. The most recent EnergyTechnology Perspectives report published by <strong>the</strong> InternationalEnergy Agency includes a Blue Map scenario including aquadrupling of nuclear capacity between now and 2050. Toachieve this, <strong>the</strong> report says that on average 32 large reactors(1,000 MWe each) would have to be built every year from nowuntil 2050. According to <strong>the</strong> IEA’s own scenario, such massivenuclear expansion would cut carbon emissions by less than 5%.More realistic analysis shows <strong>the</strong> past development history ofnuclear power and <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> production capacity make suchexpansion extremely unviable. Japan’s major nuclear accident atFukushima in March 2011 following a tsunami came 25 yearsafter <strong>the</strong> disastrous explosion in <strong>the</strong> Chernobyl nuclear powerplant in former Soviet Union, illustrating <strong>the</strong> inherent risks ofnuclear <strong>energy</strong>. Nuclear <strong>energy</strong> is simply unsafe, expensive, hascontinuing waste disposal problems and can not reduce emissionsby a large enough amount.climate change and security of supplySecurity of supply – both for access to supplies and financialstability – is now at <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> policy agenda. Recentrapidly fluctuating oil prices are lined to a combination of manyevents, however one reason for <strong>the</strong>se price fluctuations is thatsupplies of all proven resources of fossil fuels are becomingscarcer and more expensive to produce. Some ‘non-conventional’resources such as shale oil have become economic, withdevastating consequences for <strong>the</strong> local environment. The days of‘cheap oil and gas’ are coming to an end. Uranium, <strong>the</strong> fuel fornuclear power, is also a finite resource. By contrast, <strong>the</strong> reservesof renewable <strong>energy</strong> that are technically accessible <strong>global</strong>ly arelarge enough to provide more than 40 times more <strong>energy</strong> than<strong>the</strong> world currently consumes, forever, according to <strong>the</strong> latestIPCC Special report Renewables (SRREN). Renewable <strong>energy</strong>technologies are at different levels of technical and economicmaturity, but a variety of sources offer increasingly attractiveoptions. Cost reductions in just <strong>the</strong> past two years have changed<strong>the</strong> economic of renewables fundamentally, especially wind andsolar photovoltaics. The common feature of all renewable <strong>energy</strong>sources, <strong>the</strong> wind, sun, earth’s crust, and ocean is that <strong>the</strong>yproduce little or no greenhouse gases and are a virtuallyinexhaustible ‘fuel’. Some technologies are already competitive;<strong>the</strong> solar and <strong>the</strong> wind industry have maintained double digitgrowth rates over 10 years now, leading to faster technologydeployment world wide.references1 W.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKEnergy efficiency is a sleeping giant – offering <strong>the</strong> most costcompetitive way to reform <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> sector. There is enormouspotential for reducing our consumption of <strong>energy</strong>, while providing<strong>the</strong> same level of <strong>energy</strong> services. New business models toimplement <strong>energy</strong> efficiency must be developed and must getmore political support. This study details a series of <strong>energy</strong>efficiency measures which can substantially reduce demandacross industry, homes, business and services as well as transport.<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution key principlesThe expert consensus is that this fundamental shift in <strong>the</strong> way weconsume and generate <strong>energy</strong> must begin immediately and be wellunderway within <strong>the</strong> next ten years in order to avert <strong>the</strong> worstimpacts of climate change. 4 The scale of <strong>the</strong> challenge requires acomplete transformation of <strong>the</strong> way we produce, consume anddistribute <strong>energy</strong>, while maintaining economic growth. The five keyprinciples behind this Energy [R]evolution will be to:• Implement renewable solutions, especially throughdecentralised <strong>energy</strong> systems and grid expansions• Respect <strong>the</strong> natural limits of <strong>the</strong> environment• Phase out dirty, unsustainable <strong>energy</strong> sources• Create greater equity in <strong>the</strong> use of resources• Decouple economic growth from <strong>the</strong> consumption of fossil fuelsDecentralised <strong>energy</strong> systems, where power and heat areproduced close to <strong>the</strong> point of final use reduce grid loads and<strong>energy</strong> losses in distribution. Investments in ‘climateinfrastructure’ such as smart interactive grids and transmissiongrids to transport large quantities of offshore wind andconcentrating solar power are essential. Building up clusters ofrenewable micro grids, especially for people living in remoteareas, will be a central tool in providing sustainable electricity to<strong>the</strong> almost two billion people around who currently don’t haveaccess to electricity.projections to realityProjection of <strong>global</strong> installed wind power capacity at <strong>the</strong>end of 2010 in <strong>the</strong> first Global Energy [R]evolution,published in January 2007.>> 156 GW<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution – key resultsRenewable <strong>energy</strong> sources account for 13.5% of <strong>the</strong> world’sprimary <strong>energy</strong> demand in 2009. The main source is biomass,which is mostly used in <strong>the</strong> heat sector.For electricity generation renewables contribute about 19.3%and for heat supply, around 25%, much of this is from traditionaluses such as firewood. About 81% of <strong>the</strong> primary <strong>energy</strong> supplytoday still comes from fossil fuels and 5.5% from nuclear <strong>energy</strong>.The Energy [R]evolution scenario describes developmentpathways to a sustainable <strong>energy</strong> supply, achieving <strong>the</strong> urgentlyneeded CO2 reduction target and a nuclear phase-out, withoutunconventional oil resources. The results of <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario which will be achieved through <strong>the</strong>following measures:• Curbing <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> demand: The world’s <strong>energy</strong> demand isprojected by combining population development, GDP growthand <strong>energy</strong> intensity. Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, totalprimary <strong>energy</strong> demand increases by 61% from about 500 EJ(Exajoules) per year in 2009 to 806 EJ per year in 2050. In<strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, demand increases by only10% compared to current consumption until 2020 anddecreases slightly afterwards to 2009 levels.• Controlling <strong>global</strong> power demand: Under <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario, electricity demand is expected toincrease disproportionately, <strong>the</strong> main growth in households andservices. With adequate efficiency measures, however, a higherincrease can be avoided, leading to electricity demand ofaround 41,000 TWh/a in 2050. Compared to <strong>the</strong> Referencescenario, efficiency measures avoid <strong>the</strong> generation of12,800 TWh/a.• Reducing <strong>global</strong> heating demand: Efficiency gains in <strong>the</strong> heatsupply sector are even larger than in <strong>the</strong> electricity sector.Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, final demand for heatsupply can eventually be reduced significantly. Compared to <strong>the</strong>Reference scenario, consumption equivalent to 46,500 PJ/a isavoided through efficiency measures by 2050. The lowerdemand can be achieved by <strong>energy</strong>-related renovation of <strong>the</strong>existing stock of residential buildings, introduction of low<strong>energy</strong> standards; even ‘<strong>energy</strong>-plus-houses’ for new buildings,so people can enjoy <strong>the</strong> same comfort and <strong>energy</strong> services.Actual <strong>global</strong> installed wind capacity at <strong>the</strong> end of 2010.>> 197 GWWhile at <strong>the</strong> end of 2011 already 237 GW have beeninstalled.

Decouplingeconomic growth with <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> demand is key to reach asustainable <strong>energy</strong> supply by 2050, <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario saves 40% less <strong>energy</strong> per $ GDP than <strong>the</strong>Reference case.• Electricity generation: A dynamically growing renewable<strong>energy</strong> market compensates for phasing out nuclear <strong>energy</strong> andfewer fossil fuel-fired power plants. By 2050, 94% of <strong>the</strong>electricity produced worldwide will come from renewable<strong>energy</strong> sources. ‘New’ renewables – mainly wind, PV andgeo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> – will contribute 60% of electricitygeneration. The Energy [R]evolution scenario projects animmediate market development with high annual growth ratesachieving a renewable electricity share of 37% already by2020 and 61% by 2030. The installed capacity of renewableswill reach almost 7,400 GW in 2030 and 15,100 GWby 2050.• Future costs of electricity generation: Under <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario <strong>the</strong> costs of electricity generationincrease slightly compared to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario. Thisdifference will be on average less than 0.6 $cent/kWh up to2020. However, if fossil fuel prices go any higher than <strong>the</strong>model assumes, this gap will decrease. Electricity generationcosts will become economically favourable under <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario by 2025 and by 2050, costs will besignificantly lower: about 8 $cents/kWh – or 45% below thosein <strong>the</strong> Reference version• The future electricity bill: Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, <strong>the</strong>unchecked growth in demand, results in total electricity supplycosts rising from today’s $ 2,364 billion per year to more than$ 8,830 billion in 2050. The Energy [R]evolution scenariohelps to stabilise <strong>energy</strong> costs, increasing <strong>energy</strong> efficiency andshifting to renewable <strong>energy</strong> supply means long term costs forelectricity supply are 22% lower in 2050 than in <strong>the</strong> Referencescenario (including estimated costs for efficiency measures).• Future investment in power generation: The overall <strong>global</strong> levelof investment required in new power plants up to 2020 will bein <strong>the</strong> region of $ 11.5 trillion in <strong>the</strong> Reference case and$ 20.1 trillion in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution. The need to replace<strong>the</strong> ageing fleet of power plants in OECD countries and toinstall new power plants in developing countries will be <strong>the</strong>major investment drivers. Depending on <strong>the</strong> local resources,renewable <strong>energy</strong> resources (for example wind in a high windarea) can produce electricity at <strong>the</strong> same cost levels as coal orgas power plants. Solar photovoltaic already reach ‘grid parity’in many industrialised countries. For <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario until 2050 to become reality would require about$ 50,400 billion in investment in <strong>the</strong> power sector (includinginvestments for replacement after <strong>the</strong> economic lifetime of <strong>the</strong>plants). Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, total investment wouldbe split 48% to 52% between conventional power plants andrenewable <strong>energy</strong> plus cogeneration (CHP) up to 2050. Under<strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario 95% of <strong>global</strong> investmentwould be in renewables and cogeneration. Up to 2030, <strong>the</strong>power sector investment that does go to fossil fuels would befocused mainly on cogeneration plants. The average annualinvestment in <strong>the</strong> power sector under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario from today to 2050 would be $ 1,260 billion,compared to $ 555 billion in <strong>the</strong> Reference case.• Fuel costs savings: Because renewable <strong>energy</strong>, except biomass,has no fuel costs, <strong>the</strong> fuel cost savings in <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario reach a total of $ 52,800 billion up to2050, or $ 1320 billion per year. The total fuel cost savings<strong>the</strong>refore would cover more than two times <strong>the</strong> total additionalinvestments compared to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario. Theserenewable <strong>energy</strong> sources would <strong>the</strong>n go on to produceelectricity without any fur<strong>the</strong>r fuel costs beyond 2050, while<strong>the</strong> costs for coal and gas will continue to be a burden onnational economies.• Heating supply: Renewables currently provide 25% of <strong>the</strong><strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> demand for heat supply, <strong>the</strong> main contributioncoming from <strong>the</strong> use of biomass. In <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario, renewables provide more than 50% of <strong>the</strong> world’stotal heat demand in 2030 and more than 90% in 2050.Energy efficiency measures can decrease <strong>the</strong> current demandfor heat supply by 10 %, and still support improving livingstandards of a growing population.• Future investments in <strong>the</strong> heat sector: The heat sector in <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario would require a major revision ofcurrent investment strategies in heating technologies. Inparticular enormous increases in installations are required torealise <strong>the</strong> potential of <strong>the</strong> not yet common solar andgeo<strong>the</strong>rmal technologies and heat pumps. Installed capacityneeds to increase by a factor of 60 for solar <strong>the</strong>rmal and by afactor of over 3,000 for geo<strong>the</strong>rmal and heat pumps. Because<strong>the</strong> level of technological complexity in this sector is extremelyvariable, <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario can only be roughlycalculated, to require around $ 27 trillion investment inrenewable heating technologies up to 2050. This includesinvestments for replacement after <strong>the</strong> economic lifetime of <strong>the</strong>plant and is approximately $ 670 billion per year.17


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK• Future employment in <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> sector: The Energy[R]evolution scenario results in more <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> sector jobsat every stage of <strong>the</strong> projection.There are 23.3 million <strong>energy</strong> sector jobs in <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution in 2015, and 18.7 million in <strong>the</strong>Reference scenario.In 2020, <strong>the</strong>re are 22.6 million jobs in <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario, and 17.8 millionin <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario.In 2030, <strong>the</strong>re are 18.3 million jobs in <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario and 15.7 millionin <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario.There is a decline in overall job numbers under both scenariosbetween 2010 and 2030. Jobs in <strong>the</strong> coal sector declinesignificantly in both scenarios, leading to a drop of 6.8 million<strong>energy</strong> jobs in <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario by 2030. Strong growth in<strong>the</strong> renewable sector leads to an increase of 4% in total <strong>energy</strong>sector jobs in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario by 2015. Jobnumbers fall after 2020, so jobs in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution are19% below 2010 levels at 2030. However, this is 2.5 millionmore jobs than in <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario. Renewable <strong>energy</strong>accounts for 65% of <strong>energy</strong> jobs by 2030, with <strong>the</strong> majorityspread over wind, solar PV, solar heating, and biomass.• Global transport: In <strong>the</strong> transport sector it is assumed that,<strong>energy</strong> consumption will continue to increase under <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario up to 2020 due to fast growing demandfor services. After that it falls back to <strong>the</strong> level of <strong>the</strong> currentdemand by 2050. Compared to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario,transport <strong>energy</strong> demand is reduced overall by 60% or about90,000 PJ/a by 2050. Energy demand for transport under <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario will <strong>the</strong>refore increase between2009 and 2050 by only 26% to about 60,500 PJ/a.Significant savings are made from a shift towards smaller carstriggered by economic incentives toge<strong>the</strong>r with a significantshift in propulsion technology towards electrified power trains –toge<strong>the</strong>r with reducing vehicle kilometres travelled per year. In2030, electricity will provide 12% of <strong>the</strong> transport sector’stotal <strong>energy</strong> demand in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution, while in 2050<strong>the</strong> share will be 44%.• Primary <strong>energy</strong> consumption: Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario <strong>the</strong> overall primary <strong>energy</strong> demand will be reduced by40% in 2050 compared to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario. In thisprojection almost <strong>the</strong> entire <strong>global</strong> electricity supply, including<strong>the</strong> majority of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> used in buildings and industry, wouldcome from renewable <strong>energy</strong> sources. The transport sector, inparticular aviation and shipping, would be <strong>the</strong> last sector tobecome fossil fuel free.• Development of CO2 emissions: Worldwide CO2 emissions in <strong>the</strong>Reference case will increase by 62% while under <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario <strong>the</strong>y will decrease from 27,925 milliontons in 2009 to 3,076 million t in 2050. Annual per capitaemissions will drop from 4.1 tonne CO2 to 2.4 tonne CO2 in2030 and 0.3 tonne CO2 in 2050. Even with a phase out ofnuclear <strong>energy</strong> and increasing demand, CO2 emissions willdecrease in <strong>the</strong> electricity sector. In <strong>the</strong> long term, efficiencygains and greater use of renewable electricity for vehicles willalso reduce emissions in <strong>the</strong> transport sector. With a share of33% of CO2 emissions in 2050, <strong>the</strong> transport sector will be <strong>the</strong>main source of emissions ahead of <strong>the</strong> industry and powergeneration. By 2050 <strong>the</strong> Global Energy related CO2 emissionsare 85% under 1990 levels.policy changesTo make <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution real and to avoid dangerousclimate change, Greenpeace, GWEC and EREC demand that<strong>the</strong> following policies and actions are implemented in <strong>the</strong><strong>energy</strong> sector:1. Phase out all subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear <strong>energy</strong>.2. Internalise <strong>the</strong> external (social and environmental) costs of<strong>energy</strong> production through ‘cap and trade’ emissions trading.3. Mandate strict efficiency standards for all <strong>energy</strong> consumingappliances, buildings and vehicles.4. Establish legally binding targets for renewable <strong>energy</strong> andcombined heat and power generation.5. Reform <strong>the</strong> electricity markets by guaranteeing priorityaccess to <strong>the</strong> grid for renewable power generators.6. Provide defined and stable returns for investors, for exampleby feed-in tariff programmes.7. Implement better labelling and disclosure mechanisms toprovide more environmental product information.8. Increase research and development budgets for renewable<strong>energy</strong> and <strong>energy</strong> efficiency.18

climate & <strong>energy</strong> policy | THE UNFCCC & THE KYOTO PROTOCOL, INTERNATIONAL ENERGY POLICY, RENEWABLE ENERGY TARGETS1If we do not take urgent and immediate action to protect <strong>the</strong>climate, <strong>the</strong> threats from climate change could become irreversible.The goal of climate policy should be to keep <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> meantemperature rise to less than 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Wehave very little time within which we can change our <strong>energy</strong>system to meet <strong>the</strong>se targets. This means that <strong>global</strong> emissionswill have to peak and start to decline by <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> nextdecade at <strong>the</strong> latest.The only way forwards is a rapid reduction in <strong>the</strong> emission ofgreenhouse gases into <strong>the</strong> atmosphere.1.1 <strong>the</strong> UNFCCC and <strong>the</strong> kyoto protocolRecognising <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> threats of climate change, <strong>the</strong> signatoriesto <strong>the</strong> 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC) agreed <strong>the</strong> Kyoto Protocol in 1997. The Protocolentered into force in early 2005 and its 193 members meetcontinuously to negotiate fur<strong>the</strong>r refinement and development of<strong>the</strong> agreement. Only one major industrialised nation, <strong>the</strong> UnitedStates, has not ratified <strong>the</strong> protocol. In 2011, Canada announcedits intention to withdraw from <strong>the</strong> protocol.In Copenhagen in 2009, <strong>the</strong> 195 members of <strong>the</strong> UNFCCC weresupposed to deliver a new climate change agreement towardsambitious and fair emission reductions. Unfortunately <strong>the</strong>ambition to reach such an agreement failed at this conference.At <strong>the</strong> 2012 Conference of <strong>the</strong> Parties in Durban, <strong>the</strong>re wasagreement to reach a new agreement by 2015. There is alsoagreement to adopt a second commitment period at <strong>the</strong> end of2012. However, <strong>the</strong> United Nations Environment Program’sexamination of <strong>the</strong> climate action pledges for 2020 shows that<strong>the</strong>re is still a major gap between what <strong>the</strong> science demands tocurb climate change and what <strong>the</strong> countries plan to do. Theproposed mitigation pledges put forward by governments arelikely to allow <strong>global</strong> warming to at least 2.5 to 5 degreestemperature increase above pre-industrial levels. 520box 1.1: what does <strong>the</strong> kyoto protocol do?The Kyoto Protocol commits 193 countries (signatories) toreduce <strong>the</strong>ir greenhouse gas emissions by 5.2% from <strong>the</strong>ir1990 level. The <strong>global</strong> target period to achieve cuts was2008-2012. Under <strong>the</strong> protocol, many countries andregions have adopted regional and national reductiontargets. The European Union commitment is for overallreduction of 8%, for example. In order to help reach thistarget, <strong>the</strong> EU also created a target to increase itsproportion of renewable <strong>energy</strong> from 6% to 12% by 2010.reference5 UNEP EMISSIONS GAP REPORT.This means that <strong>the</strong> new agreement in 2015, with <strong>the</strong> FifthAssessment Report of <strong>the</strong> IPCC on its heels, should strive forclimate action for 2020 that ensures that <strong>the</strong> world stay as farbelow an average temperature increase of 2°C as possible. Such anagreement will need to ensure:• That industrialised countries reduce <strong>the</strong>ir emissions on averageby at least 40% by 2020 compared to <strong>the</strong>ir 1990 level.• That industrialised countries provide funding of at least $140billion a year to developing countries under <strong>the</strong> newly establishedGreen Climate Fund to enable <strong>the</strong>m to adapt to climate change,protect <strong>the</strong>ir forests and be part of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> <strong>revolution</strong>.• That developing countries reduce <strong>the</strong>ir greenhouse gas emissionsby 15 to 30% compared to <strong>the</strong>ir projected growth by 2020.1.2 international <strong>energy</strong> policyAt present <strong>the</strong>re is a distortion in many <strong>energy</strong> markets, whererenewable <strong>energy</strong> generators have to compete with old nuclearand fossil fuel power stations but not on a level playing field. Thisis because consumers and taxpayers have already paid <strong>the</strong>interest and depreciation on <strong>the</strong> original investments so <strong>the</strong>generators are running at a marginal cost. Political action isneeded to overcome market distortions so renewable <strong>energy</strong>technologies can compete on <strong>the</strong>ir own merits.While governments around <strong>the</strong> world are liberalising <strong>the</strong>irelectricity markets, <strong>the</strong> increasing competitiveness of renewable<strong>energy</strong> should lead to higher demand. Without political support,however, renewable <strong>energy</strong> remains at a disadvantage,marginalised because <strong>the</strong>re has been decades of massivefinancial, political and structural support to conventionaltechnologies. Developing renewables will <strong>the</strong>refore require strongpolitical and economic efforts for example, through laws thatguarantee stable tariffs over a period of up to 20 years.Renewable <strong>energy</strong> will also contribute to sustainable economicgrowth, high quality jobs, technology development, <strong>global</strong>competitiveness and industrial and research leadership.1.3 renewable <strong>energy</strong> targetsA growing number of countries have established targets forrenewable <strong>energy</strong> in order to reduce greenhouse emissions andincrease <strong>energy</strong> security. Targets are usually expressed asinstalled capacity or as a percentage of <strong>energy</strong> consumption and<strong>the</strong>y are important catalysts for increasing <strong>the</strong> share ofrenewable <strong>energy</strong> worldwide.However, in <strong>the</strong> electricity sector <strong>the</strong> investment horizon can beup to 40 years. Renewable <strong>energy</strong> targets <strong>the</strong>refore need to haveshort, medium and long term steps and must be legally binding inorder to be effective. They should also be supported by incentivemechanisms such as feed-in tariffs for renewable electricitygeneration. To get significant increases in <strong>the</strong> proportion ofrenewable <strong>energy</strong>, targets must be set in accordance with <strong>the</strong>local potential for each technology (wind, solar, biomass etc) andbe complemented by policies that develop <strong>the</strong> skills andmanufacturing bases to deliver <strong>the</strong> agreed quantity.


Data from <strong>the</strong> wind and solar power industries show that it ispossible to maintain a growth rate of 30 to 35% in <strong>the</strong>renewable <strong>energy</strong> sector. In conjunction with <strong>the</strong> EuropeanPhotovoltaic Industry Association, 6 <strong>the</strong> European Solar ThermalPower Industry Association 7 and <strong>the</strong> Global Wind EnergyCouncil, 8 <strong>the</strong> European Renewable Energy Council, Greenpeacehas documented <strong>the</strong> development of <strong>the</strong>se clean <strong>energy</strong> industriesin a series of Global Outlook documents from 1990 onwards andpredicted growth up to 2020 and 2040.1.4 policy changes in <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> sectorGreenpeace and <strong>the</strong> renewable <strong>energy</strong> industry share a clearagenda for <strong>the</strong> policy changes which need to be made toencourage a shift to renewable sources.The main demands are:1. Phase out all subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear <strong>energy</strong>.2. Internalise external (social and environmental) costs through‘cap and trade’ emissions trading.3. Mandate strict efficiency standards for all <strong>energy</strong> consumingappliances, buildings and vehicles.4. Establish legally binding targets for renewable <strong>energy</strong> andcombined heat and power generation.5. Reform <strong>the</strong> electricity markets by guaranteeing priorityaccess to <strong>the</strong> grid for renewable power generators.6. Provide defined and stable returns for investors, for examplethrough feed-in tariff payments.7. Implement better labelling and disclosure mechanisms toprovide more environmental product information.8. Increase research and development budgets for renewable<strong>energy</strong> and <strong>energy</strong> efficiency.Conventional <strong>energy</strong> sources receive an estimated $409 billion 9 insubsidies in 2010, resulting in heavily distorted markets.Subsidies artificially reduce <strong>the</strong> price of power, keep renewable<strong>energy</strong> out of <strong>the</strong> market place and prop up non-competitivetechnologies and fuels. Eliminating direct and indirect subsidiesto fossil fuels and nuclear power would help move us towards alevel playing field across <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> sector. Renewable <strong>energy</strong>would not need special provisions if markets factored in <strong>the</strong> costof climate damage from greenhouse gas pollution. Subsidies topolluting technologies are perverse in that <strong>the</strong>y are economicallyas well as environmentally detrimental. Removing subsidies fromconventional electricity supply would not only save taxpayers’money, it would also dramatically reduce <strong>the</strong> need for renewable<strong>energy</strong> support.image GREENPEACE AND AN INDEPENDENTNASA-FUNDED SCIENTIST COMPLETEDMEASUREMENTS OF MELT LAKES ON THEGREENLAND ICE SHEET THAT SHOW ITSVULNERABILITY TO WARMING TEMPERATURES.1.4.1 <strong>the</strong> most effective way to implement <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong>[r]evolution: feed-in lawsTo plan and invest in <strong>energy</strong> infrastructure whe<strong>the</strong>r forconventional or renewable <strong>energy</strong> requires secure policyframeworks over decades.The key requirements are:a. Long term security for <strong>the</strong> investment The investor needs to knowif <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> policy will remain stable over <strong>the</strong> entire investmentperiod (until <strong>the</strong> generator is paid off). Investors want a “good”return on investment and while <strong>the</strong>re is no universal definition of agood return, it depends to a large extent on <strong>the</strong> inflation rate of <strong>the</strong>country. Germany, for example, has an average inflation rate of 2%per year and a minimum return of investment expected by <strong>the</strong>financial sector is 6% to 7%. Achieving 10 to 15% returns is seenas extremely good and everything above 20% is seen as suspicious.b. Long-term security for market conditions The investor needs toknow, if <strong>the</strong> electricity or heat from <strong>the</strong> power plant can be soldto <strong>the</strong> market for a price which guarantees a “good” return oninvestment (ROI). If <strong>the</strong> ROI is high, <strong>the</strong> financial sector willinvest, it is low compared to o<strong>the</strong>r investments financialinstitutions will not invest.c. Transparent Planning Process A transparent planning process iskey for project developers, so <strong>the</strong>y can sell <strong>the</strong> planned project toinvestors or utilities. The entire licensing process must be clearand transparent.d. Access to <strong>the</strong> grid A fair access to <strong>the</strong> grid is essential forrenewable power plants. If <strong>the</strong>re is no grid connection availableor if <strong>the</strong> costs to access <strong>the</strong> grid are too high <strong>the</strong> project will notbe built. In order to operate a power plant it is essential forinvestors to know if <strong>the</strong> asset can reliably deliver and sellelectricity to <strong>the</strong> grid. If a specific power plant (e.g. a wind farm)does not have priority access to <strong>the</strong> grid , <strong>the</strong> operator might haveto switch <strong>the</strong> plant off when <strong>the</strong>re is an over supply from o<strong>the</strong>rpower plants or due to a bottleneck situation in <strong>the</strong> grid. Thisarrangement can add high risk to <strong>the</strong> project financing and itmay not be financed or it will attract a “risk-premium” whichwill lower <strong>the</strong> ROI.© GP/NICK COBBING1climate & <strong>energy</strong> policy | POLICY CHANGES IN THE ENERGY SECTORreferences6 ‘SOLARGENERATION IV’, SEPTEMBER 2009.7 ‘GLOBAL CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER OUTLOOK – WHY RENEWABLES ARE HOT!’ MAY, 2009.8 ‘GLOBAL WIND ENERGY OUTLOOK 2008’, OCTOBER 2008.9 ‘IEA WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK 2011’, PARIS NOVEMBER 2011, CHAPTER 14, PAGE 507.21

1.4.2 bankable renewable <strong>energy</strong> support schemesSince <strong>the</strong> early development of renewable energies within <strong>the</strong>power sector, <strong>the</strong>re has been an ongoing debate about <strong>the</strong> bestand most effective type of support scheme. The EuropeanCommission published a survey in December 2005 whichconcluded that feed -in tariffs are by far <strong>the</strong> most efficient andsuccessful mechanism. A more recent update of this report,presented in March 2010 at <strong>the</strong> IEA Renewable EnergyWorkshop by <strong>the</strong> Fraunhofer Institute 10 underscores <strong>the</strong> sameconclusion. The Stern Review on <strong>the</strong> Economics of ClimateChange also concluded that feed -in tariffs “achieve largerdeployment at lower costs”. Globally more than 40 countrieshave adopted some version of <strong>the</strong> system.Although <strong>the</strong> organisational form of <strong>the</strong>se tariffs differs fromcountry to country some criteria have emerged as essential forsuccessful renewable <strong>energy</strong> policy. At <strong>the</strong> heart of <strong>the</strong>se is areliable, bankable support scheme for renewable projects whichprovides long term stability and certainty. 11 Bankable supportschemes result in lower-cost projects because <strong>the</strong>y lower <strong>the</strong> riskfor both investors and equipment suppliers. The cost of wind -powered electricity in Germany is up to 40% cheaper than in <strong>the</strong>United Kingdom, 12 for example, because <strong>the</strong> support system ismore secure and reliable.box 1.3: experience of feed -in tariffs• Feed- in tariffs are seen as <strong>the</strong> best way forward,especially in developing countries. By 2009 this systemhas created an incentive for 75% of PV capacityworldwide and 45% of wind capacity.• Based on experience, feed- in tariffs are <strong>the</strong> most effectivemechanism to create a stable framework to build adomestic market for renewable <strong>energy</strong>. They have <strong>the</strong>lowest investment risk, highest technology diversity,lowest windfall profits for mature technologies andattract a broad spectrum of investors. 13• The main argument against <strong>the</strong>m is <strong>the</strong> increase inelectricity prices for households and industry, because <strong>the</strong>extra costs are shared across all customers. This isparticularly difficult for developing countries, wheremany people can’t afford to spend more money forelectricity services.image WANG WAN YI, AGE 76, ADJUSTS THESUNLIGHT POINT ON A SOLAR DEVICE USED TOBOIL HIS KETTLE.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKclimate & <strong>energy</strong> policy | FTSM: A SPECIAL FEED IN LAW PROPOSAL FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES11.5 ftsm: a special feed-in law proposal fordeveloping countriesThis section outlines a Greenpeace proposal for a feed-in tariffsystem in developing countries whose additional costs would befinanced by developed nations. The financial resources for thiscould come from a combination of innovative sources and couldbe managed by International Climate Mitigation Funds or o<strong>the</strong>ravailable financial resources.Energy [R]evolution scenarios show that renewable electricitygeneration has huge environmental and economic benefits.However its investment and generation costs, especially indeveloping countries, will remain higher than those of existingcoal or gas-fired power stations for <strong>the</strong> next five to ten years. Tobridge this cost gap a specific support mechanism for <strong>the</strong> powersector is needed. The Feed-in Tariff Support Mechanism (FTSM)is a concept conceived by Greenpeace International. 14 The aim is<strong>the</strong> rapid expansion of renewable <strong>energy</strong> in developing countrieswith financial support from industrialised nations.Since <strong>the</strong> FTSM concept was first presented in 2008, <strong>the</strong> ideahas received considerable support from a variety of differentstakeholders. The Deutsche Bank Group’s Climate ChangeAdvisors, for example, have developed a proposal based on FTSMcalled “GET FiT”. Announced in April 2010, this took on boardmajor aspects of <strong>the</strong> Greenpeace concept.For developing countries, feed-in laws would be an idealmechanism to boost development of new renewable energies. Theextra costs to consumers’ electricity bills are an obstacle forcountries with low average incomes. In order to enabletechnology transfer from Annex 1 countries under <strong>the</strong> KyotoProtocol to developing countries, a mix of a feed-in law,international finance and emissions trading could establish alocally-based renewable <strong>energy</strong> infrastructure and industry withhelp from <strong>the</strong> wealthier countries.Finance for renewable <strong>energy</strong> projects is one of <strong>the</strong> mainobstacles in developing countries. While large scale projects havefewer funding problems, <strong>the</strong>re are difficulties for small,community-based projects, even though <strong>the</strong>y have a high degreeof public support. The experiences from micro credits for smallhydro projects in Bangladesh, for example, or wind farms inDenmark and Germany, show how economic benefits can flow to<strong>the</strong> local community. With careful project planning based on goodlocal knowledge and understanding, projects can achieve localinvolvement and acceptance.The four main elements for successful renewable <strong>energy</strong> supportschemes are <strong>the</strong>refore:• A clear, bankable pricing system.• Priority access to <strong>the</strong> grid with clear identification of who isresponsible for <strong>the</strong> connection, and how it is incentivised.• Clear, simple administrative and planning permission procedures.• Public acceptance/support.24The first is fundamentally important, but it is no good if you don’thave <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r three elements as well.1.5.1 <strong>the</strong> feed-in tariff support mechanismThe basic aim of <strong>the</strong> FTSM is to facilitate <strong>the</strong> introduction of feedinlaws in developing countries by providing additional financialresources on a scale appropriate to local circumstances. For thosecountries with higher potential renewable <strong>energy</strong> capacity, it couldbe appropriate to create a new sectoral no-lose mechanismgenerating emission reduction credits for sale to Annex I countries,with <strong>the</strong> proceeds being used to offset part of <strong>the</strong> additional cost of<strong>the</strong> feed-in tariff system. For o<strong>the</strong>rs <strong>the</strong>re would need to be a moredirectly-funded approach to paying for <strong>the</strong> additional costs toconsumers of <strong>the</strong> tariff. The ultimate objective would be to providebankable and long term stable support for <strong>the</strong> development of alocal renewable <strong>energy</strong> market. The tariffs would bridge <strong>the</strong> gapbetween conventional power generation costs and those ofrenewable generation. The FTSM could also be used for ruralelectrification concepts such as <strong>the</strong> Greenpeace-<strong>energy</strong>nautics “REcluster concept” (see Chapter 2).The key parameters for feed in tariffs under FTSM are:• Variable tariffs for different renewable <strong>energy</strong> technologies,depending on <strong>the</strong>ir costs and technology maturity, paid for20 years.• Payments based on actual generation in order to achieveproperly maintained projects with high performance ratios.• Payment of <strong>the</strong> ‘additional costs’ for renewable generation basedon <strong>the</strong> German system, where <strong>the</strong> fixed tariff is paid minus <strong>the</strong>wholesale electricity price which all generators receive.• Payment could include an element for infrastructure costs suchas grid connection, grid reinforcement or <strong>the</strong> development of asmart grid. A specific regulation needs to define when <strong>the</strong>payments for infrastructure costs are needed in order to achievea timely market expansion of renewable power generation.A developing country which wants to take part in <strong>the</strong> FTSM wouldneed to establish clear regulations for <strong>the</strong> following:• Guaranteed access to <strong>the</strong> electricity grid for renewableelectricity projects.• Establishment of a feed-in law based on successful examples.• Transparent access to all data needed to establish <strong>the</strong> feed-intariff, including full records of generated electricity.• Clear planning and licensing procedures.The design of <strong>the</strong> FTSM would need to ensure that <strong>the</strong>re werestable flows of funds to renewable <strong>energy</strong> suppliers. There may<strong>the</strong>refore need to be a buffer between fluctuating CO2 emissionprices and stable long term feed-in tariffs. The FTSM will need tosecure payment of <strong>the</strong> required feed-in tariffs over <strong>the</strong> wholelifetime (about 20 years) of each project.reference14 IMPLEMENTING THE ENERGY [R]EVOLUTION, OCTOBER 2008, SVEN TESKE,GREENPEACE INTERNATIONAL.


In order to be eligible, all renewable <strong>energy</strong> projects must have aclear set of environmental criteria which are built into nationallicensing procedure in <strong>the</strong> country where <strong>the</strong> project will generateelectricity. The criteria’s minimum environmental standards will needto be defined by an independent monitoring group. If <strong>the</strong>re arealready acceptable criteria developed <strong>the</strong>se should be adopted ra<strong>the</strong>rthan reinventing <strong>the</strong> wheel. The members of <strong>the</strong> monitoring groupwould include NGOs, <strong>energy</strong> and finance experts as well as membersof <strong>the</strong> governments involved. Funding will not be made available forspeculative investments, only as soft loans for FTSM projects.The FTSM would also seek to create <strong>the</strong> conditions for privatesector actors, such as local banks and <strong>energy</strong> service companies,to gain experience in technology development, projectdevelopment, project financing and operation and maintenance inorder to develop track records which would help reduce barriersto fur<strong>the</strong>r renewable <strong>energy</strong> development.image THE WIND TURBINES ARE GOING TO BEUSED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN OFFSHOREWINDFARM AT MIDDELGRUNDEN WHICH IS CLOSETO COPENHAGEN, DENMARK.The key parameters for <strong>the</strong> FTSM fund will be:• The mechanism will guarantee payment of <strong>the</strong> feed-in tariffs overa period of 20 years as long as <strong>the</strong> project is operated properly.• The mechanism will receive annual income from emissionstrading or from direct funding.• The mechanism will pay feed-in tariffs annually only on <strong>the</strong>basis of generated electricity.• Every FTSM project must have a professional maintenancecompany to ensure high availability.• The grid operator must do its own monitoring and sendgeneration data to <strong>the</strong> FTSM fund.

Nothingshort of such a <strong>revolution</strong> will enable us to limit <strong>global</strong> warmingto a rise in temperature of lower than 2°C, above which <strong>the</strong>impacts become devastating. This chapter explains <strong>the</strong> basicprinciples and strategic approach of <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionconcept, which is basis for <strong>the</strong> scenario modelling since <strong>the</strong> veryfirst Energy [R]evolution scenario published in 2005. However,this concept has been constantly improved as technologiesdevelops and new technical and economical possibilities emerge.Current electricity generation relies mainly on burning fossil fuelsin very large power stations which generate carbon dioxide andalso waste much of <strong>the</strong>ir primary input <strong>energy</strong>. More <strong>energy</strong> islost as <strong>the</strong> power is moved around <strong>the</strong> electricity network and isconverted from high transmission voltage down to a supplysuitable for domestic or commercial consumers. The system isvulnerable to disruption: localised technical, wea<strong>the</strong>r-related oreven deliberately caused faults can quickly cascade, resulting inwidespread blackouts. Whichever technology generates <strong>the</strong>electricity within this old fashioned configuration, it will inevitablybe subject to some, or all, of <strong>the</strong>se problems. At <strong>the</strong> core of <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution <strong>the</strong>re <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong>re are change boths to <strong>the</strong>way that <strong>energy</strong> is produced and distributed.2.1 key principlesThe Energy [R]evolution can be achieved by adheringto five key principles:1. Respect natural limits – phase out fossil fuels by <strong>the</strong> end of thiscentury We must learn to respect natural limits. There is only somuch carbon that <strong>the</strong> atmosphere can absorb. Each year we emitalmost 30 billion tonnes of carbon equivalent; we are literallyfilling up <strong>the</strong> sky. Geological resources of coal could provideseveral hundred years of fuel, but we cannot burn <strong>the</strong>m and keepwithin safe limits. Oil and coal development must be ended.The Energy [R]evolution scenario has a target to reduce<strong>energy</strong> related CO2 emissions to a maximum of3.5 Gigatonnes (Gt) by 2050 and phase out over 80% offossil fuels by 2050.2. Equity and fair access to <strong>energy</strong> As long as <strong>the</strong>re are naturallimits <strong>the</strong>re needs to be a fair distribution of benefits and costswithin societies, between nations and between present and futuregenerations. At one extreme, a third of <strong>the</strong> world’s populationhas no access to electricity, whilst <strong>the</strong> most industrialisedcountries consume much more than <strong>the</strong>ir fair share.The effects of climate change on <strong>the</strong> poorest communitiesare exacerbated by massive <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> inequality. If weare to address climate change, one of <strong>the</strong> principles must beequity and fairness, so that <strong>the</strong> benefits of <strong>energy</strong> services –such as light, heat, power and transport – are available forall: north and south, rich and poor. Only in this way can wecreate true <strong>energy</strong> security, as well as <strong>the</strong> conditions forgenuine human wellbeing.The Energy [R]evolution scenario has a target to achieve<strong>energy</strong> equity as soon as technically possible. By 2050 <strong>the</strong>average per capita emission should be between 0.5 and 1tonne of CO2.3. Implement clean, renewable solutions and decentralise <strong>energy</strong>systems There is no <strong>energy</strong> shortage. All we need to do is useexisting technologies to harness <strong>energy</strong> effectively andefficiently. Renewable <strong>energy</strong> and <strong>energy</strong> efficiency measuresare ready, viable and increasingly competitive. Wind, solarand o<strong>the</strong>r renewable <strong>energy</strong> technologies have experienceddouble digit market growth for <strong>the</strong> past decade. 16Just as climate change is real, so is <strong>the</strong> renewable <strong>energy</strong> sector.Sustainable decentralised <strong>energy</strong> systems produce less carbonemissions, are cheaper and involve less dependence on importedfuel. They create more jobs and empower local communities.Decentralised systems are more secure and more efficient. Thisis what <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution must aim to create.“THE STONE AGE DID NOT END FOR LACK OF STONE, AND THE OILAGE WILL END LONG BEFORE THE WORLD RUNS OUT OF OIL.”Sheikh Zaki Yamani, former Saudi Arabian oil ministerTo stop <strong>the</strong> earth’s climate spinning out of control, most of<strong>the</strong> world’s fossil fuel reserves – coal, oil and gas – mustremain in <strong>the</strong> ground. Our goal is for humans to live within<strong>the</strong> natural limits of our small planet.4. Decouple growth from fossil fuel use Starting in <strong>the</strong> developedcountries, economic growth must be fully decoupled fromfossil fuel usage. It is a fallacy to suggest that economicgrowth must be predicated on <strong>the</strong>ir increased combustion.We need to use <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> we produce much more efficiently,and we need to make <strong>the</strong> transition to renewable <strong>energy</strong> andaway from fossil fuels quickly in order to enable clean andsustainable growth.5.Phase out dirty, unsustainable <strong>energy</strong> We need to phase out coaland nuclear power. We cannot continue to build coal plants ata time when emissions pose a real and present danger to bo<strong>the</strong>cosystems and people. And we cannot continue to fuel <strong>the</strong>myriad nuclear threats by pretending nuclear power can in anyway help to combat climate change. There is no role fornuclear power in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution.2<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | KEY PRINCIPLESreferences15 IPCC – SPECIAL REPORT RENEWABLES, CHAPTER 1, MAY 2011.16 REN 21, RENEWABLE ENERGY STATUS REPORT 2012, JUNE 2012.27


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | KEY PRINCIPLES22.2 <strong>the</strong> “3 step implementation”In 2009, renewable <strong>energy</strong> sources accounted for 13% of <strong>the</strong>world’s primary <strong>energy</strong> demand. Biomass, which is mostly usedfor heating, was <strong>the</strong> main renewable <strong>energy</strong> source. The share ofrenewable <strong>energy</strong> in electricity generation was 18%. About 81%of primary <strong>energy</strong> supply today still comes from fossil fuels. 17Now is <strong>the</strong> time to make substantial structural changes in <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong>and power sector within <strong>the</strong> next decade. Many power plants inindustrialised countries, such as <strong>the</strong> USA, Japan and <strong>the</strong> EuropeanUnion, are nearing retirement; more than half of all operating powerplants are over 20 years old. At <strong>the</strong> same time developing countries,such as China, India, South Africa and Brazil, are looking to satisfy<strong>the</strong> growing <strong>energy</strong> demand created by <strong>the</strong>ir expanding economies.Within this decade, <strong>the</strong> power sector will decide how newelectricity demand will be met, ei<strong>the</strong>r by fossil and nuclear fuelsor by <strong>the</strong> efficient use of renewable <strong>energy</strong>. The Energy[R]evolution scenario puts forwards a policy and technical modelfor renewable <strong>energy</strong> and cogeneration combined with <strong>energy</strong>efficiency to meet <strong>the</strong> world’s needs.Both renewable <strong>energy</strong> and cogeneration on a large scale andthrough decentralised, smaller units – have to grow faster thanoverall <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> demand. Both approaches must replace oldgenerating technologies and deliver <strong>the</strong> additional <strong>energy</strong> requiredin <strong>the</strong> developing world.A transition phase is required to build up <strong>the</strong> necessaryinfrastructure because it is not possible to switch directly from alarge scale fossil and nuclear fuel based <strong>energy</strong> system to a fullrenewable <strong>energy</strong> supply. Whilst remaining firmly committed to <strong>the</strong>promotion of renewable sources of <strong>energy</strong>, we appreciate thatconventional natural gas, used in appropriately scaled cogenerationplants, is valuable as a transition fuel, and can also drive costeffectivedecentralisation of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> infrastructure. With warmersummers, tri-generation which incorporates heat-fired absorptionchillers to deliver cooling capacity in addition to heat and power,will become a valuable means of achieving emissions reductions.The Energy [R]evolution envisages a development pathway whichturns <strong>the</strong> present <strong>energy</strong> supply structure into a sustainable system.There are three main stages to this.Step 1: <strong>energy</strong> efficiency and equity The Energy [R]evolutionmakes an ambitious exploitation of <strong>the</strong> potential for <strong>energy</strong>efficiency. It focuses on current best practice and technologiesthat will become available in <strong>the</strong> future, assuming continuousinnovation. The <strong>energy</strong> savings are fairly equally distributed over<strong>the</strong> three sectors – industry, transport and domestic/business.Intelligent use, not abstinence, is <strong>the</strong> basic philosophy.The most important <strong>energy</strong> saving options are improved heatinsulation and building design, super efficient electrical machines anddrives, replacement of old style electrical heating systems byrenewable heat production (such as solar collectors) and a reductionin <strong>energy</strong> consumption by vehicles used for goods and passengertraffic. Industrialised countries currently use <strong>energy</strong> in <strong>the</strong> mostinefficient way and can reduce <strong>the</strong>ir consumption drastically without<strong>the</strong> loss of ei<strong>the</strong>r housing comfort or information and entertainmentelectronics. The Energy [R]evolution scenario depends on <strong>energy</strong>saved in OECD countries to meet <strong>the</strong> increasing power requirementsin developing countries. The ultimate goal is stabilisation of <strong>global</strong><strong>energy</strong> consumption within <strong>the</strong> next two decades. At <strong>the</strong> same time<strong>the</strong> aim is to create ‘<strong>energy</strong> equity’ – shifting towards a fairerworldwide distribution of efficiently-used supply.A dramatic reduction in primary <strong>energy</strong> demand compared to <strong>the</strong>Reference scenario – but with <strong>the</strong> same GDP and populationdevelopment – is a crucial prerequisite for achieving a significantshare of renewable <strong>energy</strong> sources in <strong>the</strong> overall <strong>energy</strong> supplysystem, compensating for <strong>the</strong> phasing out of nuclear <strong>energy</strong> andreducing <strong>the</strong> consumption of fossil fuels.figure 2.1: centralised generation systems waste more than two thirds of <strong>the</strong>ir original <strong>energy</strong> input61.5 unitsLOST THROUGH INEFFICIENTGENERATION AND HEAT WASTAGE3.5 unitsLOST THROUGH TRANSMISSIONAND DISTRIBUTION13 unitsWASTED THROUGHINEFFICIENT END USE© DREAMSTIME© DREAMSTIME100 units >>ENERGY WITHIN FOSSIL FUEL38.5 units >>OF ENERGY FED TO NATIONAL GRID35 units >>OF ENERGY SUPPLIED22 unitsOF ENERGYACTUALLY UTILISEDreference17 ‘IEA WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK 2011, PARIS NOVEMBER 2011.28


Step 2: <strong>the</strong> renewable <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution Decentralised <strong>energy</strong> andlarge scale renewables In order to achieve higher fuel efficienciesand reduce distribution losses, <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenariomakes extensive use of Decentralised Energy (DE).This termsrefers to <strong>energy</strong> generated at or near <strong>the</strong> point of use.Decentralised <strong>energy</strong> is connected to a local distribution networksystem, supplying homes and offices, ra<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> high voltagetransmission system. Because electricity generation is closer toconsumers any waste heat from combustion processes can to bepiped to nearby buildings, a system known as cogeneration orcombined heat and power. This means that for a fuel like gas, all<strong>the</strong> input <strong>energy</strong> is used, not just a fraction as with traditionalcentralised fossil fuel electricity plant.Decentralised <strong>energy</strong> also includes stand-alone systems entirelyseparate from <strong>the</strong> public networks, for example heat pumps, solar<strong>the</strong>rmal panels or biomass heating. These can all becommercialised for domestic users to provide sustainable, lowemission heating. Some consider decentralised <strong>energy</strong>technologies ‘disruptive’ because <strong>the</strong>y do not fit <strong>the</strong> existingelectricity market and system. However, with appropriate changes<strong>the</strong>y can grow exponentially with overall benefit anddiversification for <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> sector.image THE MARANCHON WIND TURBINE FARM INGUADALAJARA, SPAIN IS THE LARGEST IN EUROPEWITH 104 GENERATORS, WHICH COLLECTIVELYPRODUCE 208 MEGAWATTS OF ELECTRICITY,ENOUGH POWER FOR 590,000 PEOPLE, ANUALLY.A huge proportion of <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> in 2050 will be produced bydecentralised <strong>energy</strong> sources, although large scale renewable<strong>energy</strong> supply will still be needed for an <strong>energy</strong> <strong>revolution</strong>. Largeoffshore wind farms and concentrating solar power (CSP) plantsin <strong>the</strong> sunbelt regions of <strong>the</strong> world will <strong>the</strong>refore have animportant role to play.Cogeneration (CHP) The increased use of combined heat andpower generation (CHP) will improve <strong>the</strong> supply system’s <strong>energy</strong>conversion efficiency, whe<strong>the</strong>r using natural gas or biomass. In<strong>the</strong> longer term, a decreasing demand for heat and <strong>the</strong> largepotential for producing heat directly from renewable <strong>energy</strong>sources will limit <strong>the</strong> need for fur<strong>the</strong>r expansion of CHP.Renewable electricity The electricity sector will be <strong>the</strong> pioneer ofrenewable <strong>energy</strong> utilisation. Many renewable electricitytechnologies have been experiencing steady growth over <strong>the</strong> past 20to 30 years of up to 35% annually and are expected to consolidateat a high level between 2030 and 2050. By 2050, under <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario, <strong>the</strong> majority of electricity will beproduced from renewable <strong>energy</strong> sources. The anticipated growth ofelectricity use in transport will fur<strong>the</strong>r promote <strong>the</strong> effective use ofrenewable power generation technologies.© GP/FLAVIO CANNALONGA2<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | THE “3 STEP IMPLEMENTATION”figure 2.2: a decentralised <strong>energy</strong> futureEXISTING TECHNOLOGIES, APPLIED IN A DECENTRALISED WAY AND COMBINED WITH EFFICIENCY MEASURES AND ZERO EMISSION DEVELOPMENTS, CANDELIVER LOW CARBON COMMUNITIES AS ILLUSTRATED HERE.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | THE “3 STEP IMPLEMENTATION”2Renewable heating In <strong>the</strong> heat supply sector, <strong>the</strong> contribution ofrenewable <strong>energy</strong> will increase significantly. Growth rates areexpected to be similar to those of <strong>the</strong> renewable electricity sector.Fossil fuels will be increasingly replaced by more efficient moderntechnologies, in particular biomass, solar collectors andgeo<strong>the</strong>rmal. By 2050, renewable <strong>energy</strong> technologies will satisfy<strong>the</strong> major part of heating and cooling demand.Transport Before new technologies including hybrid and electriccars can seriously enter <strong>the</strong> transport sector, <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r electricityusers need to make large efficiency gains. In this study, biomassis primarily committed to stationary applications; <strong>the</strong> use ofbiofuels for transport is limited by <strong>the</strong> availability of sustainablygrown biomass and only for heavy duty vehicles, ships andaviation. In contrast to previous versions of Energy [R]evolutionscenarios, biofuels are entirely banned now for <strong>the</strong> use in privatecars. 18 Electric vehicles will <strong>the</strong>refore play an even moreimportant role in improving <strong>energy</strong> efficiency in transport andsubstituting for fossil fuels.Overall, to achieve an economically attractive growth ofrenewable <strong>energy</strong> sources, requires a balanced and timelymobilisation of all technologies. Such a mobilisation depends on<strong>the</strong> resource availability, cost reduction potential andtechnological maturity. And alongside technology drivensolutions, lifestyle changes - like simply driving less and usingmore public transport – have a huge potential to reducegreenhouse gas emissions.New business model The Energy [R]evolution scenario will alsoresult in a dramatic change in <strong>the</strong> business model of <strong>energy</strong>companies, utilities, fuel suppliers and <strong>the</strong> manufacturers of<strong>energy</strong> technologies. Decentralised <strong>energy</strong> generation and largesolar or offshore wind arrays which operate in remote areas,without <strong>the</strong> need for any fuel, will have a profound impact on <strong>the</strong>way utilities operate in 2020 and beyond.Today’s power supply value chain is broken down into clearlydefined players but a <strong>global</strong> renewable power supply willinevitably change this division of roles and responsibilities. Thefollowing table provides an overview of how <strong>the</strong> value chain wouldchange in a <strong>revolution</strong>ised <strong>energy</strong> mix.The current model is a relatively small number of large powerplants that are owned and operated by utilities or <strong>the</strong>irsubsidiaries, generating electricity for <strong>the</strong> population. Under <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario, around 60 to 70% of electricitywill be made by small but numerous decentralised power plants.Ownership will shift towards more private investors, <strong>the</strong>manufacturer of renewable <strong>energy</strong> technologies and EPCtable 2.1: power plant value chainTASK& MARKET PLAYERPROJECTDEVELOPMENTMANUFACTURE OFGEN.

companies (engineering, procurement and construction) awayfrom centralised utilities. In turn, <strong>the</strong> value chain for powercompanies will shift towards project development, equipmentmanufacturing and operation and maintenance.Simply selling electricity to customers will play a smaller role, as<strong>the</strong> power companies of <strong>the</strong> future will deliver a total power plantand <strong>the</strong> required IT services to <strong>the</strong> customer, not just electricity.They will <strong>the</strong>refore move towards becoming service suppliers for<strong>the</strong> customer. The majority of power plants will also not requireany fuel supply, so mining and o<strong>the</strong>r fuel production companieswill lose <strong>the</strong>ir strategic importance.The future pattern under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution will see moreand more renewable <strong>energy</strong> companies, such as wind turbinebox 2.1: about sustainable <strong>energy</strong> for allFrom <strong>the</strong> IEA Report “Energy for All – financing access for<strong>the</strong> poor. 19The International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook (WEO)has focused attention on modern <strong>energy</strong> access for a decade.

The report recognised that<strong>energy</strong> access can create a better life for individuals, alleviatingpoverty and improving health, literacy and equity.Globally, over 1.3 billion people, more than a quarter of <strong>the</strong> world’spopulation are without access to electricity and 2.7 billion peopleare without clean cooking facilities.

In 2009, <strong>the</strong> IEA estimates that $9.1billion was invested <strong>global</strong>ly in extending access to modern <strong>energy</strong>services and will average $14 billion per year, projected between2010 and 2030, mostly devoted to new on‐grid electricityconnections in urban areas. Even with this <strong>the</strong>re will be one billionpeople without electricity and 2.7 billion people without cleancooking facilities in 2030. To provide universal modern <strong>energy</strong>access by 2030 <strong>the</strong> IEA forecasts that annual average investmentneeds would need to be $48 billion per year, more than five‐times<strong>the</strong> level of 2009, and most in sub‐Saharan Africa.The IEA puts forwards five actions to achieve universal, modern<strong>energy</strong> access:1. Adopt a clear and consistent statement that modern<strong>energy</strong> access is a political priority and that policies andfunding will be reoriented accordingly. Nationalgovernments need to adopt a specific <strong>energy</strong> access target,allocate funds and define <strong>the</strong>ir delivery strategy.2. Mobilise additional investment in universal access, above <strong>the</strong>$14 billion per year assumed in our central scenario, of $34image A MAINTENANCE WORKER MARKS A BLADEOF A WINDMILL AT GUAZHOU WIND FARM NEARYUMEN IN GANSU PROVINCE, CHINA.manufacturers becoming involved in project development,installation and operation and maintenance, whilst utilities willlose <strong>the</strong>ir status. Those traditional <strong>energy</strong> supply companies whichdo not move towards renewable project development will ei<strong>the</strong>rlose market share or drop out of <strong>the</strong> market completely.Access to <strong>energy</strong> in 2012: The International Year of Sustainable Energyfor All In December 2010, <strong>the</strong> United Nations General Assemblydeclared 2012 <strong>the</strong> International Year of Sustainable Energy for All,recognizing that “…access to modern affordable <strong>energy</strong> services indeveloping countries is essential for <strong>the</strong> achievement of <strong>the</strong>internationally agreed development goals, including <strong>the</strong> MillenniumDevelopment Goals, and sustainable development, which would helpto reduce poverty and to improve <strong>the</strong> conditions and standard ofliving for <strong>the</strong> majority of <strong>the</strong> world’s population.”billion per year - equivalent to around 3% of <strong>global</strong>investment in <strong>energy</strong> infrastructure over <strong>the</strong> period to 2030.All sources and forms of investment have <strong>the</strong>ir part to play,reflecting <strong>the</strong> varying risks and returns of particular solutions.3. Overcome <strong>the</strong> significant banners to large growth in privatesector investment. National governments need to adoptstrong governance and regulatory frameworks and invest ininternal capacity building. The public sector, includingmultilateral and bilateral institutions, needs to use its toolsto leverage greater private sector investment where <strong>the</strong>business case is marginal and encourage <strong>the</strong> developmentof repeatable business models. When used, public subsidiesmust be well targeted to reach <strong>the</strong> poorest.4. Concentrate a large part of multilateral and bilateraldirect funding on those difficult areas of access which donot initially offer an adequate commercial return. Provisionof end‐user finance is required to overcome <strong>the</strong> barrier of<strong>the</strong> initial capitals. Local banks and microfinancearrangements can support <strong>the</strong> creation of local networksand <strong>the</strong> necessary capacity in <strong>energy</strong> sector activity.5. Collection of robust, regular and comprehensive data toquantify <strong>the</strong> outstanding challenge and monitor progresstowards its elimination. International concern about <strong>the</strong>issue of <strong>energy</strong> access is growing.Discussions at <strong>the</strong> Energy for All Conference in Oslo, Norway(October 2011) and <strong>the</strong> COP17 in Durban, South Africa(December 2011) have established <strong>the</strong> link between <strong>energy</strong>access, climate change and development which can now beaddressed at <strong>the</strong> United Nations Conference on SustainableDevelopment (Rio+20) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in June 2012.That conference will be <strong>the</strong> occasion for commitments tospecific action to achieve sustainable development, includinguniversal <strong>energy</strong> access, since as currently <strong>the</strong> United NationsMillennium Development Goals do not include specific targetsin relation to access to electricity or to clean cooking facilities.© GP/MARKEL REDONDO2<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | THE “3 STEP IMPLEMENTATION”reference19 SPECIAL EXCERPT OF THE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK 2011.31


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | THE “3 STEP IMPLEMENTATION”2The General Assembly’s Resolution 65/151 called on UNSecretary-General Ban Ki-Moon to organize and coordinateactivities during <strong>the</strong> Year in order to “increase awareness of <strong>the</strong>importance of addressing <strong>energy</strong> issues”, including access to andsustainability of affordable <strong>energy</strong> and <strong>energy</strong> efficiency at local,national, regional and international levels.In response, <strong>the</strong> new <strong>global</strong> initiative, Sustainable Energy for All,launched at <strong>the</strong> General Assembly in September 2011, along witha High Level Group, is designed to mobilise action fromgovernments, <strong>the</strong> private sector and civil society <strong>global</strong>ly. Theinitiative has three inter-linked objectives: universal access tomodern <strong>energy</strong> services, improved rates of <strong>energy</strong> efficiency, andexpanded use of renewable <strong>energy</strong> sources.The role of sustainable, clean renewable <strong>energy</strong> To achieve <strong>the</strong>dramatic emissions cuts needed to avoid climate change, around80% in OECD countries by 2050, will require a massive uptake ofrenewable <strong>energy</strong>. The targets for renewable <strong>energy</strong> must be greatlyexpanded in industrialised countries both to substitute for fossilfuel and nuclear generation and to create <strong>the</strong> necessary economiesof scale necessary for <strong>global</strong> expansion. Within <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario we assume that modern renewable <strong>energy</strong>sources, such as solar collectors, solar cookers and modern formsof bio <strong>energy</strong>, will replace inefficient, traditional biomass use.Step 3: optimised integration – renewables 24/7 A completetransformation of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> system will be necessary toaccommodate <strong>the</strong> significantly higher shares of renewable <strong>energy</strong>expected under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario. The grid networkof cables and sub-stations that brings electricity to our homes andfactories was designed for large, centralised generators running athuge loads, providing ‘baseload’ power. Until now, renewable<strong>energy</strong> has been seen as an additional slice of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> mix andhad had adapt to <strong>the</strong> grid’s operating conditions. If <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario is to be realised, this will have to change.Because renewable <strong>energy</strong> relies mostly on natural resources,which are not available at all times, some critics say this makes itunsuitable for large portions of <strong>energy</strong> demand. Existing practicein a number of countries has already shown that this is false.Clever technologies can track and manage <strong>energy</strong> use patterns,provide flexible power that follows demand through <strong>the</strong> day, usebetter storage options and group customers toge<strong>the</strong>r to form‘virtual batteries’. With current and emerging solutions we cansecure <strong>the</strong> renewable <strong>energy</strong> future needed to avert catastrophicclimate change. Renewable <strong>energy</strong> 24/7 is technically andeconomically possible, it just needs <strong>the</strong> right policy and <strong>the</strong>commercial investment to get things moving and ‘keep <strong>the</strong> lightson’. 20 Fur<strong>the</strong>r adaptations to how <strong>the</strong> grid network operates willallow integration of even larger quantities of renewable capacity.Changes to <strong>the</strong> grid required to support decentralised <strong>energy</strong> Mostgrids around <strong>the</strong> world have large power plants in <strong>the</strong> middleconnected by high voltage alternating current (AC) power linesand smaller distribution network carries power to finalconsumers. The centralised grid model was designed and plannedup to 60 years ago, and brought great benefit to cities and ruralareas. However <strong>the</strong> system is very wasteful, with much <strong>energy</strong>lost in transition. A system based on renewable <strong>energy</strong>, requiringlots of smaller generators, some with variable amounts of poweroutput will need a new architecture.The overall concept of a smart grid is one that balances fluctuationsin <strong>energy</strong> demand and supply to share out power effectively amongusers. New measures to manage demand, forecasting <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>rfor storage needs, plus advanced communication and controltechnologies will help deliver electricity effectively.Technological opportunities Changes to <strong>the</strong> power system by 2050will create huge business opportunities for <strong>the</strong> information,communication and technology (ICT) sector. A smart grid haspower supplied from a diverse range of sources and places and itrelies on <strong>the</strong> ga<strong>the</strong>ring and analysis of a lot of data. Smart gridsrequire software, hardware and data networks capable ofdelivering data quickly, and of responding to <strong>the</strong> information that<strong>the</strong>y contain. Several important ICT players are racing tosmarten up <strong>energy</strong> grids across <strong>the</strong> globe and hundreds ofcompanies could be involved with smart grids.There are numerous IT companies offering products and servicesto manage and monitor <strong>energy</strong>. These include IBM, Fujitsu,Google, Microsoft and Cisco. These and o<strong>the</strong>r giants of <strong>the</strong>telecommunications and technology sector have <strong>the</strong> power tomake <strong>the</strong> grid smarter, and to move us faster towards a clean<strong>energy</strong> future. Greenpeace has initiated <strong>the</strong> ‘Cool IT’ campaign toput pressure on <strong>the</strong> IT sector to make such technologies a reality.2.3 <strong>the</strong> new electricity gridAll over <strong>the</strong> developed world, <strong>the</strong> grids were built with large fossilfuel power plants in <strong>the</strong> middle and high voltage alternatingcurrent (AC) transmission power lines connecting up to <strong>the</strong> areaswhere <strong>the</strong> power is used. A lower voltage distribution network<strong>the</strong>n carries <strong>the</strong> current to <strong>the</strong> final consumers.In <strong>the</strong> future power generators will be smaller and distributedthroughout <strong>the</strong> grid, which is more efficient and avoids <strong>energy</strong> lossesduring long distance transmission. There will also be some concentratedsupply from large renewable power plants. Examples of <strong>the</strong> largegenerators of <strong>the</strong> future are massive wind farms already being built inEurope’s North Sea and plans for large areas of concentrating solarmirrors to generate <strong>energy</strong> in Sou<strong>the</strong>rn Europe or Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Africa.The challenge ahead will require an innovative power systemarchitecture involving both new technologies and new ways ofmanaging <strong>the</strong> network to ensure a balance between fluctuationsin <strong>energy</strong> demand and supply. The key elements of this new powersystem architecture are micro grids, smart grids and an efficientlarge scale super grid. The three types of system will support andinterconnect with each o<strong>the</strong>r (see Figure 2.3).reference20 THE ARGUMENTS AND TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS OUTLINED HERE ARE EXPLAINED IN MORE DETAIL INTHE EUROPEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY COUNCIL/GREENPEACE REPORT, “[R]ENEWABLES 24/7:INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED TO SAVE THE CLIMATE”, NOVEMBER 2009.32

Monitoring and controlinfrastructure are embedded inside distribution networks anduse local <strong>energy</strong> generation resources. An example microgridwould be a combination of solar panels, micro turbines, fuelcells, <strong>energy</strong> efficiency and information/communicationtechnology to manage <strong>the</strong> load, for example on an island orsmall rural town.Smart grids balance demand out over a region. A ‘smart’electricity grid connects decentralised renewable <strong>energy</strong>sources and cogeneration and distributes power highlyefficiently. Advanced types of control and managementtechnologies for <strong>the</strong> electricity grid can also make it run moreefficiently overall. For example, smart electricity meters showreal-time use and costs, allowing big <strong>energy</strong> users to switch offor down on a signal from <strong>the</strong> grid operator, and avoid highpower prices.Super grids transport large <strong>energy</strong> loads between regions. Thisrefers to interconnection - typically based on HVDCtechnology - between countries or areas with large supply andlarge demand. An example would be <strong>the</strong> interconnection of all<strong>the</strong> large renewable based power plants in <strong>the</strong> North Sea or aconnection between Sou<strong>the</strong>rn Europe and Africa whererenewable <strong>energy</strong> could be exported to bigger cities and towns,from places with large locally available resources.Baseload is <strong>the</strong> concept that <strong>the</strong>re must be a minimum,uninterruptible supply of power to <strong>the</strong> grid at all times,traditionally provided by coal or nuclear power. The Energy[R]evolution challenges this, and instead relies on a variety of‘flexible’ <strong>energy</strong> sources combined over a large area to meetdemand. Currently, ‘baseload’ is part of <strong>the</strong> business model fornuclear and coal power plants, where <strong>the</strong> operator can produceelectricity around <strong>the</strong> clock whe<strong>the</strong>r or not it is actually needed.Constrained power refers to when <strong>the</strong>re is a local oversupply offree wind and solar power which has to be shut down, ei<strong>the</strong>rbecause it cannot be transferred to o<strong>the</strong>r locations (bottlenecks)or because it is competing with inflexible nuclear or coal powerthat has been given priority access to <strong>the</strong> grid. Constrained poweris also available for storage once <strong>the</strong> technology is available.Variable power is electricity produced by wind or solar powerdepending on <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r. Some technologies can makevariable power dispatchable, eg by adding heat storage toconcentrated solar power.Dispatchable is a type of power that can be stored and‘dispatched’ when needed to areas of high demand, e.g. gasfiredpower plants or hydro power plants.Interconnector is a transmission line that connects different partsof <strong>the</strong> electricity grid.Load curve is <strong>the</strong> typical pattern of electricitythrough <strong>the</strong> day, which has a predictable peak and trough that canbe anticipated from outside temperatures and historical data.Node is a point of connection in <strong>the</strong> electricity grid betweenregions or countries, where <strong>the</strong>re can be local supply feedinginto <strong>the</strong> grid as well.<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | THE NEW ELECTRICITY GRID2.3.1 hybrid systemsWhile grid in <strong>the</strong> developed world supply power to nearly 100%of <strong>the</strong> population, many rural areas in <strong>the</strong> developing world relyon unreliable grids or polluting electricity, for example fromstand-alone diesel generators. This is also very expensive forsmall communities.The standard approach of extending <strong>the</strong> grid used in developedcountries is often not economic in rural areas of developingcountries where potential electricity is low and <strong>the</strong>re are longdistances to existing grid.Electrification based on renewable <strong>energy</strong> systems with a hybridmix of sources is often <strong>the</strong> cheapest as well as <strong>the</strong> least pollutingalternative. Hybrid systems connect renewable <strong>energy</strong> sourcessuch as wind and solar power to a battery via a charge controller,which stores <strong>the</strong> generated electricity and acts as <strong>the</strong> main powersupply. Back-up supply typically comes from a fossil fuel, forexample in a wind-battery-diesel or PV-battery-diesel system.Such decentralised hybrid systems are more reliable, consumerscan be involved in <strong>the</strong>ir operation through innovative technologiesand <strong>the</strong>y can make best use of local resources. They are also lessdependent on large scale infrastructure and can be constructedand connected faster, especially in rural areas.Finance can often be an issue for relatively poor ruralcommunities wanting to install such hybrid renewable systems.Greenpeace’s funding model, <strong>the</strong> Feed-in Tariff SupportMechanism (FTSM), discussed in Chapter 1 allows project to bebundled toge<strong>the</strong>r so <strong>the</strong> financial package is large enough to beeligible for international investment support. In <strong>the</strong> Pacific region,for example, power generation projects from a number of islands,an entire island state such as <strong>the</strong> Maldives or even several islandstates could be bundled into one project package. This wouldmake it large enough for funding as an international project byOECD countries. In terms of project planning, it is essential that<strong>the</strong> communities <strong>the</strong>mselves are directly involved in <strong>the</strong> process.33


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | THE NEW ELECTRICITY GRID22.3.2 smart gridsThe task of integrating renewable <strong>energy</strong> technologies intoexisting power systems is similar in all power systems around <strong>the</strong>world, whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y are large centralised networks or islandsystems. The main aim of power system operation is to balanceelectricity consumption and generation.Thorough forward planning is needed to ensure that <strong>the</strong> availableproduction can match demand at all times. In addition tobalancing supply and demand, <strong>the</strong> power system must also beable to:• Fulfil defined power quality standards – voltage/frequency -which may require additional technical equipment, and• Survive extreme situations such as sudden interruptions ofsupply, for example from a fault at a generation unit or abreakdown in <strong>the</strong> transmission system.Integrating renewable <strong>energy</strong> by using a smart grid means movingaway from <strong>the</strong> concept of baseload power towards a mix offlexible and dispatch able renewable power plants. In a smart grida portfolio of flexible <strong>energy</strong> providers can follow <strong>the</strong> load duringboth day and night (for example, solar plus gas, geo<strong>the</strong>rmal, windand demand management) without blackouts.What is a smart grid? Until now renewable power technologydevelopment has put most effort into adjusting its technicalperformance to <strong>the</strong> needs of <strong>the</strong> existing network, mainly bycomplying with grid codes, which cover such issues as voltagefrequency and reactive power. However, <strong>the</strong> time has come for <strong>the</strong>power systems <strong>the</strong>mselves to better adjust to <strong>the</strong> needs ofvariable generation. This means that <strong>the</strong>y must become flexibleenough to follow <strong>the</strong> fluctuations of variable renewable power, forexample by adjusting demand via demand-side managementand/or deploying storage systems.The future power system will consist of tens of thousands ofgeneration units such as solar panels, wind turbines and o<strong>the</strong>rrenewable generation, partly distributed in <strong>the</strong> distributionnetwork, partly concentrated in large power plants such asoffshore wind parks. The power system planning will becomemore complex due to <strong>the</strong> larger number of generation assets and<strong>the</strong> significant share of variable power generation causingconstantly changing power flows.Smart grid technology will be needed to support power systemplanning. This will operate by actively supporting day-aheadforecasts and system balancing, providing real-time informationabout <strong>the</strong> status of <strong>the</strong> network and <strong>the</strong> generation units, incombination with wea<strong>the</strong>r forecasts. It will also play a significantrole in making sure systems can meet <strong>the</strong> peak demand and makebetter use of distribution and transmission assets, <strong>the</strong>reby keeping<strong>the</strong> need for network extensions to <strong>the</strong> absolute minimum.references21 SEE ALSO ECOGRID PHASE 1 SUMMARY REPORT, AVAILABLE AT:HTTP://WWW.ENERGINET.DK/NR/RDONLYRES/8B1A4A06-CBA3-41DA-9402-B56C2C288FB0/0/ECOGRIDDK_PHASE1_SUMMARYREPORT.PDF.22 SEE ALSO HTTP://WWW.KOMBIKRAFTWERK.DE/INDEX.PHP?ID=27.23 SEE ALSO HTTP://WWW.SOLARSERVER.DE/SOLARMAGAZIN/ANLAGEJANUAR2008_E.HTML.34To develop a power system based almost entirely on renewable<strong>energy</strong> sources requires a completely new power systemarchitecture, which will need substantial amounts of fur<strong>the</strong>r workto fully emerge. 21 Figure 2.3 shows a simplified graphicrepresentation of <strong>the</strong> key elements in future renewable-basedpower systems using smart grid technology.A range of options are available to enable <strong>the</strong> large-scaleintegration of variable renewable <strong>energy</strong> resources into <strong>the</strong> powersupply system. Some features of smart grids could be:Managing level and timing of demand for electricity. Changes topricing schemes can give consumers financial incentives to reduce orshut off <strong>the</strong>ir supply at periods of peak consumption, as system thatis already used for some large industrial customers. A Norwegianpower supplier even involves private household customers by sending<strong>the</strong>m a text message with a signal to shut down. Each householdcan decide in advance whe<strong>the</strong>r or not <strong>the</strong>y want to participate. InGermany, experiments are being conducted with time flexible tariffsso that washing machines operate at night and refrigerators turn offtemporarily during periods of high demand.Advances in communications technology. In Italy, for example, 30million ‘smart meters’ have been installed to allow remote meterreading and control of consumer and service information. Manyhousehold electrical products or systems, such as refrigerators,dishwashers, washing machines, storage heaters, water pumps andair conditioning, can be managed ei<strong>the</strong>r by temporary shut-off or byrescheduling <strong>the</strong>ir time of operation, thus freeing up electricity loadfor o<strong>the</strong>r uses and dovetailing it with variations in renewable supply.Creating Virtual Power Plants (VPP). Virtual power plantsinterconnect a range of real power plants (for example solar, windand hydro) as well as storage options distributed in <strong>the</strong> powersystem using information technology. A real life example of a VPPis <strong>the</strong> Combined Renewable Energy Power Plant developed bythree German companies. 22 This system interconnects and controls11 wind power plants, 20 solar power plants, four CHP plantsbased on biomass and a pumped storage unit, all geographicallyspread around Germany. The VPP monitors (and anticipatesthrough wea<strong>the</strong>r forecasts) when <strong>the</strong> wind turbines and solarmodules will be generating electricity. Biogas and pumped storageunits are used to make up <strong>the</strong> difference, ei<strong>the</strong>r deliveringelectricity as needed in order to balance short term fluctuations ortemporarily storing it. 23 Toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> combination ensuressufficient electricity supply to cover demand.Electricity storage options. Pumped storage is <strong>the</strong> mostestablished technology for storing <strong>energy</strong> from a type ofhydroelectric power station. Water is pumped from a lowerelevation reservoir to a higher elevation during times of low cost,off-peak electricity. During periods of high electrical demand, <strong>the</strong>stored water is released through turbines. Taking into accountevaporation losses from <strong>the</strong> exposed water surface and conversionlosses, roughly 70 to 85% of <strong>the</strong> electrical <strong>energy</strong> used to pump<strong>the</strong> water into <strong>the</strong> elevated reservoir can be regained when it isreleased. Pumped storage plants can also respond to changes in<strong>the</strong> power system load demand within seconds. Pumped storagehas been successfully used for many decades all over <strong>the</strong> world.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | THE NEW ELECTRICITY GRID2In 2007 <strong>the</strong> European Union had 38 GW of pumped storagecapacity, representing 5% of total electrical capacity.Vehicle-to-Grid. Ano<strong>the</strong>r way of ‘storing’ electricity is to use it todirectly meet <strong>the</strong> demand from electric vehicles. The number ofelectric cars and trucks is expected to increase dramatically under<strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario. The Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)concept, for example, is based on electric cars equipped withbatteries that can be charged during times when <strong>the</strong>re is surplusrenewable generation and <strong>the</strong>n discharged to supply peaking capacityor ancillary services to <strong>the</strong> power system while <strong>the</strong>y are parked.During peak demand times cars are often parked close to main loadcentres, for instance outside factories, so <strong>the</strong>re would be no networkissues. Within <strong>the</strong> V2G concept a Virtual Power Plant would be builtusing ICT technology to aggregate <strong>the</strong> electric cars participating in<strong>the</strong> relevant electricity markets and to meter <strong>the</strong> charging/dechargingactivities. In 2009 <strong>the</strong> EDISON demonstration project waslaunched to develop and test <strong>the</strong> infrastructure for integratingelectric cars into <strong>the</strong> power system of <strong>the</strong> Danish island of Bornholm.2.3.3 <strong>the</strong> super gridGreenpeace simulation studies Renewables 24/7 (2010) and Battleof <strong>the</strong> Grids (2011) have shown that extreme situations with lowsolar radiation and little wind in many parts of Europe are notfrequent, but <strong>the</strong>y can occur. The power system, even with massiveamounts of renewable <strong>energy</strong>, must be adequately designed to copewith such an event. A key element in achieving this is through <strong>the</strong>construction of new onshore and offshore super grids.The Energy [R]evolution scenario assumes that about 70% of allgeneration is distributed and located close to load centres. Theremaining 30% will be large scale renewable generation such aslarge offshore wind farms or large arrays of concentrating solarpower plants. A North Sea offshore super grid, for example, wouldenable <strong>the</strong> efficient integration of renewable <strong>energy</strong> into <strong>the</strong> powersystem across <strong>the</strong> whole North Sea region, linking <strong>the</strong> UK, France,Germany, Belgium, <strong>the</strong> Ne<strong>the</strong>rlands, Denmark and Norway. Byaggregating power generation from wind farms spread across <strong>the</strong>whole area, periods of very low or very high power flows would bereduced to a negligible amount. A dip in wind power generation inone area would be balanced by higher production in ano<strong>the</strong>r area,even hundreds of kilometres away. Over a year, an installedoffshore wind power capacity of 68.4 GW in <strong>the</strong> North Sea wouldbe able to generate an estimated 247 TWh of electricity. 242.3.4 baseload blocks progressGenerally, coal and nuclear plants run as so-called base load,meaning <strong>the</strong>y work most of <strong>the</strong> time at maximum capacityregardless of how much electricity consumers need. Whendemand is low <strong>the</strong> power is wasted. When demand is highadditional gas is needed as a backup.However, coal and nuclear cannot be turned down on windy days sowind turbines will get switched off to prevent overloading <strong>the</strong> system.references24 GREENPEACE REPORT, ‘NORTH SEA ELECTRICITY GRID [R]EVOLUTION’, SEPTEMBER 2008.25 BATTLE OF THE GRIDS, GREENPEACE INTERNATIONAL, FEBRUARY 2011.36box 2.3: do we need baseload power plants? 25Power from some renewable plants, such as wind and solar,varies during <strong>the</strong> day and week. Some see this as aninsurmountable problem, because up until now we haverelied on coal or nuclear to provide a fixed amount ofpower at all times. In current policy-making <strong>the</strong>re is astruggle to determine which type of infrastructure ormanagement we choose and which <strong>energy</strong> mix to favour aswe move away from a polluting, carbon intensive <strong>energy</strong>system. Some important facts include:• electricity demand fluctuates in a predictable way.• smart management can work with big electricity users, so<strong>the</strong>ir peak demand moves to a different part of <strong>the</strong> day,evening out <strong>the</strong> load on <strong>the</strong> overall system.• electricity from renewable sources can be stored and‘dispatched’ to where it is needed in a number of ways,using advanced grid technologies.Wind-rich countries in Europe are already experiencingconflict between renewable and conventional power. In Spain,where a lot of wind and solar is now connected to <strong>the</strong> grid,gas power is stepping in to bridge <strong>the</strong> gap between demandand supply. This is because gas plants can be switched off orrun at reduced power, for example when <strong>the</strong>re is lowelectricity demand or high wind production. As we move to amostly renewable electricity sector, gas plants will be neededas backup for times of high demand and low renewableproduction. Effectively, a kWh from a wind turbine displacesa kWh from a gas plant, avoiding carbon dioxide emissions.Renewable electricity sources such as <strong>the</strong>rmal solar plants(CSP), geo<strong>the</strong>rmal, hydro, biomass and biogas can graduallyphase out <strong>the</strong> need for natural gas. (See Case Studies formore). The gas plants and pipelines would <strong>the</strong>n progressivelybe converted for transporting biogas.The recent <strong>global</strong> economic crisis triggered drop in <strong>energy</strong> demandand revealed system conflict between inflexible base load power,especially nuclear, and variable renewable sources, especially windpower, with wind operators told to shut off <strong>the</strong>ir generators. InNor<strong>the</strong>rn Spain and Germany, this uncomfortable mix is alreadyexposing <strong>the</strong> limits of <strong>the</strong> grid capacity. If Europe continues tosupport nuclear and coal power alongside a growth in renewables,clashes will occur more and more, creating a bloated, inefficient grid.Despite <strong>the</strong> disadvantages stacked against renewable <strong>energy</strong> it hasbegun to challenge <strong>the</strong> profitability of older plants. Afterconstruction costs, a wind turbine is generating electricity almostfor free and without burning any fuel. Meanwhile, coal and nuclearplants use expensive and highly polluting fuels. Even wherenuclear plants are kept running and wind turbines are switchedoff, conventional <strong>energy</strong> providers are concerned. Like anycommodity, oversupply reduces price across <strong>the</strong> market. In <strong>energy</strong>markets, this affects nuclear and coal too. We can expect moreintense conflicts over access to <strong>the</strong> grids over <strong>the</strong> coming years.

The plan is to replace most of <strong>the</strong> generating capacity of<strong>the</strong>se nine reactors with renewables. The experience so far gives areal example of <strong>the</strong> steps needed for a <strong>global</strong> Energy[R]evolution at a national scale.2.4.1 target and methodThe German government expects renewables to generate 35% ofGerman electricity by 2020. 26 The German Federal EnvironmentAgency believes that <strong>the</strong> phase out would be technically feasiblefrom 2017 , requiring only 5 GWh of additional combined heatand-poweror combined cycle gas plant (o<strong>the</strong>r than those alreadyunder construction) to meet peak time demand. 272.4.2 carbon dioxide emissions trendsThe Germany <strong>energy</strong> ambassador, Dr. Georg Maue reported to ameeting in <strong>the</strong> British Parliament in February 2012 thatGermany was still on track to meet its CO2 reduction targets of40% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 from 1990 levels. Figures forGermany’s 2011 greenhouse gas emissions were not available forthis report, although <strong>the</strong> small growth in use of lignite fuels islikely to have increased emissions in <strong>the</strong> short term.However, <strong>the</strong> decision to phase out nuclear <strong>energy</strong> has renewed<strong>the</strong> political pressure to deliver a secure climate-friendly <strong>energy</strong>policy and ensure Germany still meets its greenhouse targets. TheEnergiewende (‘<strong>energy</strong> transition’) measures include € 200billioninvestment in renewable <strong>energy</strong> over <strong>the</strong> next decade, a majorpush on <strong>energy</strong> efficiency and an accelerated roll out ofinfrastructure to support <strong>the</strong> transition. 28 Germany has alsobecome an advocate for renewables at <strong>the</strong> European level. 29 In<strong>the</strong> longer-term, by deploying a large amount of renewablecapability Germany should be able to continue reducing itsemissions at this accelerated rate and its improved industrialproduction should make it more viable for o<strong>the</strong>r countries todeliver greater and faster emissions reductions.2.4.3 shortfall from first round of closuresThe oldest eight nuclear reactors were closed immediately andbased on figures available it looks like <strong>the</strong> ‘shortfall’ will becovered by a mix of lower demand, increasing renewable <strong>energy</strong>supply, and a small part by fossil-fuelled power.In 2011 only 18% of <strong>the</strong> country’s <strong>energy</strong> generation came fromnuclear, as shown in Figure 2.7. 30 In <strong>the</strong> previous year, nuclear<strong>energy</strong>’s contribution had already fallen from 22% to 18%,a shortfall covered mostly by renewable electricity whichincreased from 16% to 20% in <strong>the</strong> same period, while use oflignite (a greenhouse-intensive fossil fuel) increased from 23%to 25% (Figure 2.6).In <strong>the</strong> first half of 2011, Germany was a net exporter ofelectricity, exporting 29 billion kWh and importing 24 kWh. 31Complete figures for electricity imports and exports in <strong>the</strong> secondhalf of 2011, once nuclear reactors were decommissioned,however it is known that Germany exported electricity to Franceduring a cold spell in February 2012. 32Inside Germany, <strong>the</strong> demand for <strong>energy</strong> is falling. 33 Between 2010and 2011 <strong>energy</strong> demand dropped by 5%, because <strong>the</strong> mildwea<strong>the</strong>r reduced demand for gas heating. While <strong>the</strong> Britishgovernment is planning for electricity demand in <strong>the</strong> UK todouble by 2050, <strong>the</strong> German government expects a cut of 25%from 2008 levels. 34 Total <strong>energy</strong> demand is expected to halve over<strong>the</strong> same time period.2.4.4 <strong>the</strong> renewable <strong>energy</strong> sector in germanyGermany has successfully increased <strong>the</strong> share of renewable<strong>energy</strong> constantly over <strong>the</strong> last twenty years, and <strong>the</strong> sector wasemploying over 350,000 employees by <strong>the</strong> end of 2011. The backbone of this development has been <strong>the</strong> Renewable Energy Act(Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz – EEG); a feed-in law whichguarantees a fixed tariff per kWh for 20 years. The tariffs aredifferent for each technology and between smaller and larger, toreflect <strong>the</strong>ir market penetration rates.© GP2<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | CASE STUDIESreferences26 HTTP://WWW.UMWELTDATEN.DE/PUBLIKATIONEN/FPDF-L/4147.PDF27 HTTP://WWW.UMWELTDATEN.DE/PUBLIKATIONEN/FPDF-L/4147.PDF28 HTTP://WWW.ERNEUERBARE-ENERGIEN.DE/INHALT/47872/3860/29 HTTP://WWW.ERNEUERBARE-ENERGIEN.DE/INHALT/48192/3860/30 THE GERMAN ASSOCIATION OF ENERGY AND WATER INDUSTRIES (BDEW), 16 DECEMBER 2011.HTTP://WWW.BDEW.DE/INTERNET.NSF/ID/EN_?OPEN&CCM=90001002001031 HTTP://WWW.BDEW.DE/INTERNET.NSF/ID/8EF9E5927BDAAE28C12579260029ED3B/$FILE/110912%20RICHTIGSTELLUNG%20IMPORT-EXPORT-ZAHLEN_ENGLISCH.PDF32 HTTP://WWW.REUTERS.COM/ARTICLE/2012/02/14/EUROPE-POWER-SUPPLY-IDUSL5E8DD8702012021433 HTTP://WWW.AG-ENERGIEBILANZEN.DE/COMPONENTEN/DOWNLOAD.PHP?FILEDATA=1329148695.PDF&FILENAME=AGEB_PRESSEDIENST_09_2011EN.PDF&MIMETYPE=APPLICATION/PDF34 HTTP://WWW.BMU.DE/FILES/ENGLISH/PDF/APPLICATION/PDF/ENERGIEKONZEPT_BUNDESREGIERUNG_EN.PDF(PAGE 5)39

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | CASE STUDIES22.5 case study: providing smart <strong>energy</strong> to Bihar,from <strong>the</strong> “bottom-up”Over one billion people do not have any access to <strong>energy</strong> services –most of <strong>the</strong>m are living in rural areas, far away from electricitygrids. Rural electrification is known to bring economic developmentto communities, and <strong>the</strong> premise of an Energy [R]evolution is tostrive for more equity, not to entrench disadvantage.Greenpeace worked with a community in nor<strong>the</strong>rn India in <strong>the</strong>state of Bihar to see how a real community could create <strong>the</strong>irown, new electricity services in a sustainable way. The coreconcept was for communities to be able to organise <strong>the</strong>ir ownelectricity supply step by step, building up a local micro-grid thatruns on locally available, renewable resources.For example, households may start with only a few hours ofelectricity for lighting each day, but <strong>the</strong>y are on a pathway towardscontinuous supply. As each community builds <strong>the</strong> infrastructure,<strong>the</strong>y can connect <strong>the</strong>ir smart microgrids with each o<strong>the</strong>r. Theadvantages are that it is faster than waiting for a centralisedapproach, communities take <strong>the</strong>ir electricity supply into <strong>the</strong>ir ownhands, and investment stays in <strong>the</strong> region and creates local jobs.Greenpeace International asked <strong>the</strong> German/Swedish engineeringcompany <strong>energy</strong>nautics to develop a technical concept. CalledSmart Energy Access, it proposes a proactive, bottom-upapproach to building smart microgrids in developing countries.figure 2.10: development of household demandThey are flexible, close to users so reduce transmission losses,help facilitate integration of renewable <strong>energy</strong> and educetransmission losses by having generation close to demand.2.5.1 methodologyThe first step is to assess <strong>the</strong> resources available in <strong>the</strong> area. InBihar, <strong>the</strong>se are biomass, hydro and solar PV power.The second step is to assess <strong>the</strong> level of electrical demand for <strong>the</strong>area, taking into account that <strong>the</strong> after initial access, demand willalmost always grow, following <strong>the</strong> economic growth electricity allows.For Bihar, demand levels shown in Figure 2.10 were considered.The third and final step is to design a system which can serve <strong>the</strong>demand using <strong>the</strong> resources available in <strong>the</strong> most economicmanner. Key parameters for developing a system are:• That system design uses standard components and is kept modularso that it can be replicated easily for expansion across <strong>the</strong> region.• An appropriate generation mix which can meet demand 99%of <strong>the</strong> time at <strong>the</strong> lowest production cost, e.g. using simulationsoftware such as HOMER. 35 (Figure 2.11)• That electricity can be distributed through a physical networkwithout breaching safe operating limits, and that <strong>the</strong> quality of<strong>the</strong> supply is adequate for its use, e.g. using a software modelsuch as PowerFactory 36 which tests system behaviour underdifferent operating conditions.

• A suitable strategy for switching between “grid-connected” and“island” modes, so that <strong>the</strong> community can connect to <strong>the</strong>neighbours. There are many options for systems designers bytypically for microgrids in rural parts of developing countries,design simplicity and cost efficiency are more valuable than anexpensive but sophisticated control system.The Smart Energy Access Concept method can be used todevelop roadmap visions and general strategy directions. It mustbe noted however, that detailed resource assessments, costevaluations, demand profile forecasts and power systemsimulations are always required to ensure that a specificmicrogrid design is viable in a specific location.image CONSTRUCTION OF THE OFFSHORE WINDFARMAT MIDDELGRUNDEN NEAR COPENHAGEN, DENMARK.figure 2.11: process overview of supply system designby production optimisationAVAILABLERESOURCESSYSTEMDEMANDGENERATIONCOSTS &OPERATIONCHARACTERISTICSPRODUCTIONOPTIMISATION(HOMER)© PAUL LANGROCK/ZENIT/GPOPTIMAL GENERATIONCAPACITIES THAT MEETDEMAND 99% OF THETIME AT LEAST COST2<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | CASE STUDIESfigure 2.12: screenshot of <strong>the</strong> PowerFactory grid model.source ENERGYNAUTICSBAR_HSIT_LSIT_HBARSITSISGOB_LGOB_HC-BARExternal gridSIT-BARBAZBAZ-SITSIT-SISSIS_LSIS_HGOBMV_BUSPhotovoltaicsBAZ_LBAZ_HBHACGOBTRFC-BAZBAZ-BHABHA_LBHA_HPLANTRAM2PIPCHA-GOBCHA_HGBiomassGDieselC-RABC-RAMRAM_LRAM_HRAM1-RAM2MAN1-PIPPIP_LPIP_HCHARABRAM1MAN1DHU-CHARAB-DHURAB_LRAB_HRAM1-MAN1MAN1-MAN2DHUMAN2DHU_LDHU_Hsource“E[R] CLUSTER FOR A SMART ENERGY ACCESS”, GREENPEACE MAY 2012.references35 HOMER IS AN ENERGY MODELLING SOFTWARE FOR DESIGNING AND ANALYSING HYBRID POWERSYSTEMS.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | CASE STUDIES22.5.2 implementationOnce an electricity service is available, people generally increase<strong>the</strong>ir consumption. A typical pattern for system growth in India is:• 60kWh per household, covering basic lighting, based on two<strong>energy</strong>-efficient globes per household for a few hours. In Bihar,this can be provided efficiently with a predominantly biomasspoweredsystem, such as <strong>the</strong> Husk Power Systems 37 , which arealready in use in a number of villages.• 500 kWh per household, provided by a predominantly biomassdieselsystem or a biomass-hydro system (if water is availablenearby). Such systems can be achieved at costs of around14-15 INR/kWh, or 9-10 INR/kWh respectively and will coverdemand from appliances such as fans, television sets andcellular phones• 1,200 kWh per year per household – an urban level ofelectricity consumption – can not be provided by <strong>the</strong> simplesystems described above. Without hydro power solar PV wouldbe required, and where hydro power is available, diesel wouldneed to be included to cover seasonal flows. These systems canbe achieved also at costs of 14-15 INR/kWh, or9-10 INR/kWh respectively.2.5.3 lessons from <strong>the</strong> studyWhen considering bottom-up microgrid developments some keypoints for <strong>the</strong> system’s expansion are:Unit Sizes. From 32 kW and 52 kW for biomass husks to 100kW minimum for an economic micro-hydro system (based on <strong>the</strong>general flows for <strong>the</strong> state of Bihar) to a tiny 100-1,000 W forrooftop solar PV. Diesel generators which could operate withbiofuels come in all sizes as <strong>the</strong>y are a more conventionalproduct. The system owner would have to decide how best toexpand <strong>the</strong> system in a piecewise fashion.Connection to <strong>the</strong> grid. When eventually connected to State orNational grid, different arrangements mean <strong>the</strong> community canbe connected or autonomous, depending on <strong>the</strong> situation.However, expensive and experimental control systems thatmanage complex transitions would be difficult to implement in arural area in a developing country which has financial barriers,lower operational capacity, less market flexibility and regulatoryconsiderations. A simplified design concept limits transitions fromgrid-connected mode to “island mode” when <strong>the</strong>re are centralgrid blackouts, and back again.Capacity and number systems. To replicate this type of microgriddesign across <strong>the</strong> entire state of Bihar, a rough approximationbased on geographical division indicates that 13,960 villages canbe supplied by a non-hydro no wind system and 3,140 villageswith a hydro system. It is assumed that <strong>the</strong>re is potential for upto 1,900 systems where wind power may be used, and that a totalnumber of 19,000 villages are appropriate to cover all ruralareas in <strong>the</strong> state of Bihar. With such an expansion strategy, atminimum (corresponding to demand scenario 2) approximately1,700 MW of biomass, 314 MW of hydro and 114 MW of PVpower installations would be required. At <strong>the</strong> stage whenmicrogrids are fully integrated with <strong>the</strong> central grid (demandscenario 4), it is expected that at least 4,000 MW of biomass,785 MW of hydro and 10,000 MW of PV power installationswould be required.Distance to <strong>the</strong> grid. System costs of <strong>the</strong> optimal microgriddesigns were compared with <strong>the</strong> cost of extending <strong>the</strong> grid todetermine <strong>the</strong> break-even grid distance. Calculations show <strong>the</strong>break-even grid distance for a biomass + solar + hydro + dieselsystem (with or without wind) is approximately 5 kilometres,while for a biomass + solar + diesel system (with or withoutwind) is approximately 10 kilometres.Technology type. The system costs did not vary significantly with<strong>the</strong> addition of wind power in <strong>the</strong> generation mix, or with asignificant reduction in solar PV installation costs because <strong>the</strong>costs per installed kilowatt of such systems are already higherthan for <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r generators. However, when diesel pricesincrease, <strong>the</strong> overall system costs also rise, as <strong>the</strong> cost of <strong>energy</strong>production from <strong>the</strong> diesel units increase, but <strong>the</strong> installationcosts are still lower than for solar PV and wind power systems.The case study in Bihar, India, show how microgrids can functionas an off-grid system, incorporate multiple generation sources,adapt to demand growth, and be integrated with <strong>the</strong> central gridwhile still separate and operate as an island grid if needed.44reference37 WWW.HUSKPOWERSYSTEMS.COM


2.6 greenpeace proposal to support a renewable<strong>energy</strong> clusterThis <strong>energy</strong> cluster system builds upon Greenpeace’s Energy[R]evolution scenario 38 which sets out a <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> pathway thatnot only phases out dirty and dangerous fossil fuels over time tohelp cut CO2 levels, but also brings <strong>energy</strong> to <strong>the</strong> 2 billion people on<strong>the</strong> planet that currently don’t have access to <strong>energy</strong>. The mosteffective way to ensure financing for <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution in <strong>the</strong>power sector is via Feed-in laws.To plan and invest in an <strong>energy</strong> infrastructure, whe<strong>the</strong>r forconventional or renewable <strong>energy</strong>, requires secure policyframeworks over decades. The key requirements are:long term security for <strong>the</strong> investment The investor needs to know<strong>the</strong> pattern of evolution of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> policy over <strong>the</strong> entireinvestment period (until <strong>the</strong> generator is paid off). Investors wanta “good” return of investment and while <strong>the</strong>re is no universaldefinition of a good return, it depends on <strong>the</strong> long termprofitability of <strong>the</strong> activity as well as on <strong>the</strong> inflation rate of <strong>the</strong>country and <strong>the</strong> short term availability of cash throughout <strong>the</strong>year to sustain operations.maximize <strong>the</strong> leverage of scarce financial resources Access toprivileged credit facilities, under State guarantee, are one of <strong>the</strong>possible instruments that can be deployed by governments tomaximise <strong>the</strong> distribution of scarce public and internationalfinancial resources, leverage on private investment and incentivizedevelopers to rely on technologies that guarantee long termfinancial sustainability.image A TRUCK DROPS ANOTHER LOAD OF WOODCHIPS AT THE BIOMASS POWER PLANT INLELYSTAD, THE NETHERLANDS.long-term security for market conditions The investor needs toknow if <strong>the</strong> electricity or heat from <strong>the</strong> power plant can be soldto <strong>the</strong> market for a price which guarantees a “good” return ofinvestment (ROI). If <strong>the</strong> ROI is high, <strong>the</strong> financial sector willinvest; if it is low compared to o<strong>the</strong>r investments <strong>the</strong>n financialinstitutions will not invest. Moreover, <strong>the</strong> supply chain ofproducers needs to enjoy <strong>the</strong> same level of favourable marketconditions and stability (e.g. agricultural feedstock).transparent planning process A transparent planning process iskey for project developers, so <strong>the</strong>y can sell <strong>the</strong> planned project toinvestors or utilities. The entire licensing process must be clear,transparent and fast.access to <strong>the</strong> (micro) grid A fair access to <strong>the</strong> grid is essential forrenewable power plants. If <strong>the</strong>re is no grid connection availableor if <strong>the</strong> costs to access <strong>the</strong> grid are too high <strong>the</strong> project will notbe built. In order to operate a power plant it is essential forinvestors to know if <strong>the</strong> asset can reliably deliver and sellelectricity to <strong>the</strong> grid. If a specific power plant (e.g. a wind farm)does not have priority access to <strong>the</strong> grid, <strong>the</strong> operator might haveto switch <strong>the</strong> plant off when <strong>the</strong>re is an oversupply from o<strong>the</strong>rpower plants or due to a bottleneck situation in <strong>the</strong> grid. Thisarrangement can add high risk to <strong>the</strong> project financing and itmay not be financed or it will attract a “risk-premium” whichwill lower <strong>the</strong> ROI.© GP/BAS BEENTJES2<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | CASE STUDIEStable 2.3: key results for <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution village cluster - state of bihar (rural) - employment, environment + fitEMPLOYMENTCO2 SAVINGSFITSCENARIOScenario A: Solar + BiomassAbsolute Minimum (state-wide)Low income demand (state-wide)Medium income demand (state-wide)Urban households (state-wide)GENERATIONJobs1,7785,93614,32616,340GRIDJobs1075153447TOTALJobs1,7886,01114,47916,787SPECIFICt CO2 /GWh1,100TOTALmillion t CO2/a0.86.713.432.0AVERAGE ACCROSSALL TECHNOLOGIESINR/kWh25192519Scenario B: Solar + Small Hydro + BiomassAbsolute Minimum (state-wide)Low income demand (state-wide)Medium income demand (state-wide)Urban households (state-wide)1,7782,78211,74215,770101413435411,7882,92212,08516,3111,1000.86.713.432.025111313Scenario C: Solar + Wind + BiomassAbsolute Minimum (state-wide)Low income demand (state-wide)Medium income demand (state-wide)Urban households (state-wide)1,7785,93614,32621,47010751534101,7886,01114,47921,8801,1000.86.713.432.025192521source“E[R] CLUSTER FOR A SMART ENERGY ACCESS”, GREENPEACE MAY 2012.reference38 ENERGY [R]EVOLUTION – A SUSTAINABLE ENERG Y WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK 2012,GREENPEACE INTERNATIONAL, AMSTERDAM – THE NETHERLANDS, JUNE 2012.45


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | CASE STUDIES22.6.1 a rural feed-in tariff for biharIn order to help implement <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution clusters inBihar, Greenpeace suggests starting a feed-in regulation for <strong>the</strong>cluster, which will be partly financed by international funds. Theinternational program should add a CO2 saving premium of 10Indian Rupee (INR) per kWh for 10 years. This premium shouldbe used to help finance <strong>the</strong> required power generation as well as<strong>the</strong> required infrastructure (grids). In <strong>the</strong> Table 2.2 <strong>the</strong> CO2savings, rough estimation of employment effects as well as <strong>the</strong>required total funding for <strong>the</strong> CO2 premium for <strong>the</strong> state of Biharare shown.2.7 <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution cluster jobsWhile <strong>the</strong> employment effect for <strong>the</strong> operation and maintenance(O&M) for solar photovoltaics (0.4/MW), wind (0.4/MW), hydro(0.2/MW) and bio <strong>energy</strong> (3.1/MW) are very well documented, 39<strong>the</strong> employment effect of grid operations and maintenance arenot. Therefore Greenpeace assumed in this calculation that foreach 100 GWh one job will be created. This number is based ongrid operators in Europe and might be too conservative. Howeverit is believed that <strong>the</strong> majority of <strong>the</strong> jobs will be created by <strong>the</strong>O&M of power generation; grid operation may be part of thiswork as well.Due to <strong>the</strong> high uncertainty of employment effects from gridoperation, <strong>the</strong>se numbers are only indicative.Microgrids can offer reliable and cost competitive electricityservices, providing a viable alternative to <strong>the</strong> conventionaltopdown approach of extending grid services. The microgridapproach is “smart” because it can facilitate <strong>the</strong> integration ofrenewable energies, <strong>the</strong>reby contributing to national renewable<strong>energy</strong> (RE) targets. In addition it can reduce transmission lossesby having generation close to demand. Being built from modulardistributed generation units, it can adequately adjust to demandgrowth. It can operate both in island mode and grid-connectedmode, making operation flexible and can also offer grid supportfeatures. This report demonstrates with a case study how thisbottom-up approach with microgrids would work. It focuses ondevelopment in <strong>the</strong> state of Bihar in India.Step 1: renewable resource assessment The first step to thisapproach is to make an assessment of <strong>the</strong> resources available in<strong>the</strong> area. In <strong>the</strong> case of Bihar, <strong>the</strong>se are biomass, hydro and solarPV power. While <strong>the</strong>re are no detailed wind measurementsavailable, <strong>the</strong>re are indications that in some areas wind turbinescould operate economically as well.Step 2: demand projections The second step is to assess <strong>the</strong> levelof electrical demand that will need to be serviced. Once <strong>the</strong>re isaccess to electricity services, demand will almost always grow,accompanying economic growth. For <strong>the</strong> case of Bihar <strong>the</strong>following demand levels were considered, which are characterisedby total <strong>energy</strong> consumption, peak demand and daily load profilesas shown in Figure 2.10.As <strong>the</strong> proposed bottom-up electrification approach starts on a pervillage basis, a set of village demand profiles is generated based on<strong>the</strong>se hypo<strong>the</strong>tical household demand profiles. The village demandprofiles also contain assumptions about non-household loads suchas a school, health stations or public lighting.The village-based electricity supply system forms <strong>the</strong> smallestindividual unit of a supply system. Therefore <strong>the</strong> matching set ofgeneration assets is also determined on a per-village basis.Step 3: define optimal generation mix The third step in thisapproach is to design a system which can serve <strong>the</strong> demand using<strong>the</strong> resources available in <strong>the</strong> most economic manner. At thispoint it is of utmost importance that <strong>the</strong> system design usesstandard components and is kept modular so that it can bereplicated easily for expansion across <strong>the</strong> entire state. Indesigning such a system, an appropriate generation mix needs tobe developed, which can meet demand 99% of <strong>the</strong> time at <strong>the</strong>lowest production cost. This can be determined using productionsimulation software such as HOMER 40 , which calculates <strong>the</strong>optimal generation capacities based on a number of inputs about<strong>the</strong> installation and operation costs of different types ofgeneration technologies in India.46reference39 INSTITUTE FOR SUSTAINABLE FUTURES (ISF), UNIVERS ITY OF TECHNOLOGY, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: JAYRUTOVITZ, ALISON ATHERTON.40 HOMER IS AN ENERGY MODELLING SOFTWARE FOR DESIGNING AND ANALYSING HYBRIDPOWER SYSTEMS . A TRIAL VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE CAN BE DOWNLOADED FOR FREE ATTHE WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.HOMERENERG Y.COM/


Step 4: network design Once <strong>the</strong> optimal supply system design isdetermined, it is also important to make sure that such a supplysystem can be distributed through a physical network withoutbreaching safe operating limits, and that <strong>the</strong> quality of <strong>the</strong>delivered electricity is adequate for its use. This can be done bymodelling <strong>the</strong> physical system using power system simulationsoftware such as PowerFactory. 41 In this way <strong>the</strong> behaviour of <strong>the</strong>electrical system under different operating conditions can betested, for example in steady-state power flow calculations.Figure 2.12 shows a diagram of <strong>the</strong> village power system modelused in this study.image CHECKING THE SOLAR PANELS ON TOP OF THEGREENPEACE POSITIVE ENERGY TRUCK IN BRAZIL.Step 5: control system considerations The final part of <strong>the</strong>system design involves <strong>the</strong> development of a suitable strategy forswitching between grid-connected and island modes. Dependingon <strong>the</strong> quality of service required by <strong>the</strong> loads in <strong>the</strong> microgrid,<strong>the</strong> regulations stipulated in <strong>the</strong> grid code for operation practices,and number of grid support features desired, several differentdesigns could be developed. For microgrids as part of ruralelectrification efforts in developing countries however, designsimplicity and cost efficiency weighs more than <strong>the</strong> benefits ofhaving an expensive but sophisticated control system. Through <strong>the</strong>use of microgrids, <strong>the</strong> gap between rural electrification anduniversal electrification with grid expansion can be met, while at<strong>the</strong> same time bringing many additional benefits both for <strong>the</strong>consumers and grid operators. By developing a system which ismodular and constructed using standard components, it makes iteasier to replicate it across wide areas with varying geographiccharacteristics. The method demonstrated in this report can beused to develop roadmap visions and general strategy directions.It must be noted however, that detailed resource assessments,cost evaluations, demand profile forecasts and power systemsimulations are always required to ensure that a specificmicrogrid design is viable in a specific location.© GP/FLAVIO CANNALONGA2<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution concept | CASE STUDIEStable 2.4: village cluster demand overviewDEMAND SCENARIOSSUPPLY NEEDSSCENARIODEMAND PER DAYkWh/dayTOTAL ANNUAL DEMANDkWh/aPEAK DEMANDkW peakTOTAL INSTALLED CAPACITYkWAbsolute Minimum (state-wide)Low income demand (state-wide)Medium income demand (state-wide)Urban households (state-wide)1118811,7544,19240,514321,563640,1171,530,0372299.427155431.5106265800source“E[R] CLUSTER FOR A SMART ENERGY ACCESS”, GREENPEACE MAY 2012.reference41 POWER FACTORY IS A POWER SYSTEM SIMULATION SOFTWARE FOR DESIGNING ANDANALYSING POWER SYSTEMS.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKimplementing <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution | RENEWABLE ENERGY FINANCING BASICS33.2 renewable <strong>energy</strong> financing basicsThe Swiss RE Private Equity Partners have provide anintroduction to renewable <strong>energy</strong> infrastructure investing(September 2011) which describes what makes renewable <strong>energy</strong>projects different from fossil-fuel based <strong>energy</strong> assets from afinance perspective:• Renewable <strong>energy</strong> projects have short construction periodcompared to conventional <strong>energy</strong> generation and o<strong>the</strong>rinfrastructure assets. Renewable projects have limited ramp-upperiods, and construction periods of one to three years, comparedto 10 years to build large conventional power plants.• In several countries, renewable <strong>energy</strong> producers have beengranted priority of dispatch. Where in place, grid operators areusually obliged to connect renewable power plants to <strong>the</strong>ir gridand for retailers or o<strong>the</strong>r authorised entities to purchase allrenewable electricity produced.• Renewable projects present relatively low operationalcomplexity compared to o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>energy</strong> generation assets or o<strong>the</strong>rinfrastructure asset classes. Onshore wind and solar PVprojects in particular have well established operational trackrecords. This is obviously less <strong>the</strong> case for biomass or offshorewind plants.• Renewable projects typically have non-recourse financining,through a mix of debt and equity. In contrast to traditionalcorporate lending, project finance relies on future cash flowsfor interest and debt repayment, ra<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> asset value or<strong>the</strong> historical financial performance of a company. Projectfinance debt typically covers 70–90% of <strong>the</strong> cost of a project,is non-recourse to <strong>the</strong> investors, and ideally matches <strong>the</strong>duration of <strong>the</strong> underlying contractual agreements.• Renewable power typically has predictable cash flows and it isnot subject to fuel price volatility because <strong>the</strong> primary <strong>energy</strong>resource is generally freely available. Contractually guaranteedtariffs, as well as moderate costs of erecting, operating andmaintaining renewable generation facilities, allow for highprofit margins and predictable cash flows.• Renewable electricity remuneration mechanisms often includesome kind of inflation indexation, although incentive schemesmay vary on a case-by-case basis. For example, several tariffsin <strong>the</strong> EU are indexed to consumer price indices and adjustedon an annual basis (e.g. Spain, Italy). In projects wherespecific inflation protection is not provided (e.g. Germany), <strong>the</strong>regulatory framework allows selling power on <strong>the</strong> spot market,should <strong>the</strong> power price be higher than <strong>the</strong> guaranteed tariff.• Renewable power plants have expected long useful lives (over20 years). Transmission lines usually have economic lives ofover 40 years. Renewable assets are typically underpinned bylong-term contracts with utilities and benefit fromgovernmental support and manufacturer warranties.• Renewable <strong>energy</strong> projects deliver attractive and stable sourcesof income, only loosely linked to <strong>the</strong> economic cycle. Projectowners do not have to manage fuel cost volatility and projectsgenerate high operating margins with relatively secure revenuesand generally limited market risk.• The widespread development of renewable power generationwill require significant investments in <strong>the</strong> electricity network.As discussed in Chapter 2 future networks (smart grids) willhave to integrate an ever-increasing, decentralised, fluctuatingsupply of renewable <strong>energy</strong>. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, suppliers and/ordistribution companies will be expected to deliver asophisticated range of services by embedding digital griddevices into power networks.figure 3.1: return characteristics of renewable energiesSHORT CONSTRUCTIONPERIODGARANTEEDPOWER DISPATCHLOW OPERATIONALCOMPLEXITYNON-RECOURSEFINANCINGOpportunitesPower generation© LANGROCK / GREENPEACE© DREAMSTIMETransmission & storageInvestors benefitsPREDICTABLECASH FLOWSINFLATIONLINKAGELONGDURATIONRECURRINGINCOMEsourceSWISS RE PRIVATE EQUITY PARTNERS.50

The four main risk factorsto consider when investing in renewable <strong>energy</strong> assets are:• Regulatory risks refer to adverse changes in laws andregulations, unfavourable tariff setting and change or breach ofcontracts. As long as renewable <strong>energy</strong> relies on governmentpolicy dependent tariff schemes, it will remain vulnerable tochanges in regulation. However a diversified investment acrossregulatory jurisdictions, geographies, and technologies can helpmitigate those risks.• Construction risks relate to <strong>the</strong> delayed or costly delivery of anasset, <strong>the</strong> default of a contracting party, or anengineering/design failure. Construction risks are less prevalentfor renewable <strong>energy</strong> projects because <strong>the</strong>y have relativelysimple design, however, construction risks can be mitigated byselecting high-quality and experienced turnkey partners, usingproven technologies and established equipment suppliers as wellas agreeing on retentions and construction guarantees.figure 3.3: investment stages of renewable <strong>energy</strong> projects• Financing risks refer to <strong>the</strong> inadequate use of debt in <strong>the</strong>financial structure of an asset. This comprises <strong>the</strong> abusive useof leverage, <strong>the</strong> exposure to interest rate volatility as well as<strong>the</strong> need to refinance at less favourable terms.• Operational risks include equipment failure, counterparty defaultand reduced availability of <strong>the</strong> primary <strong>energy</strong> source (e.g. wind,heat, radiation). For renewable assets a lower than forecastedresource availability will result in lower revenues and profitabilityso this risk can damage <strong>the</strong> business case. For instance, abnormalwind regimes in Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Europe over <strong>the</strong> last few years haveresulted in some cases in breach of coverage ratios and in <strong>the</strong>inability of some projects to pay dividends to shareholders.figure 3.2: overview risk factors for renewable<strong>energy</strong> projectsREGULATORY RISKSFINANCING RISKSsourceSWISS RE PRIVATE EQUITY PARTNERS.CONSTRUCTION RISKSOPERATIONAL RISKS3implementing <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution | RENEWABLE ENERGY FINANCING BASICSHigherRISKSLowerStageDEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS© DAVIS / GREENPEACE© DAVIS / GREENPEACE© LANGROCK / GREENPEACE• Site identification• Approval & permitting process• Land procurement• Technical planning• Financing close• Equipment procurement• Engineering• Construction• Commissioning• Operations• Maintenance• Refinancing• Refurbishment/RepoweringStrategyEARLY-STAGE GREENFIELD LATE-STAGE GREENFIELD BROWNFIELDsourceSWISS RE PRIVATE EQUITY PARTNERS.51

The key barriers to renewable <strong>energy</strong>investment identified by Greenpeace through a literature review 42and interviews with renewable <strong>energy</strong> sector financiers anddevelopers are shown in Figure 3.4.There are broad categories of common barriers to renewable <strong>energy</strong>development that are present in many countries, however <strong>the</strong> natureof <strong>the</strong> barriers differs significantly. At <strong>the</strong> local level, political andpolicy support, grid infrastructure, electricity markets and planningregulations have to be negotiated for new projects.52

In<strong>the</strong> short term, investors aren’t confident rules will remain unalteredand aren’t confident that renewable <strong>energy</strong> goals will be met in <strong>the</strong>longer term, let alone increased.When investors are cautious about taking on <strong>the</strong>se risks, it drives upinvestment costs and <strong>the</strong> difficulty in accessing finance is a barrierto renewable <strong>energy</strong> project developers. Contributing factors includea lack of information and experience among investors and projectdevelopers, involvement of smaller companies and projects and ahigh proportion of up-front costs.Grid access and grid infrastructure is also a major barriers todevelopers, because <strong>the</strong>y are not certain <strong>the</strong>y will be able to sell all <strong>the</strong>electricity <strong>the</strong>y generate in many countries, during project development.In many regions, both state owned and private utilities arecontributing to blocking renewable <strong>energy</strong> through <strong>the</strong>ir marketpower and political power, maintaining ‘status quo’ in <strong>the</strong> grid,electricity markets for centralised coal and nuclear power andlobbying against pro-renewable and climate protection laws.The sometimes higher cost of renewable <strong>energy</strong> relative to competitorsis still a barrier, though many are confident that it will be overcome in<strong>the</strong> coming decades. The Special Report on Renewable Energy Sourcesand Climate Change Mitigation (SRREN) identifies cost as <strong>the</strong> mostsignificant barrier to investment 43 and while it exists, renewable <strong>energy</strong>will rely on policy intervention by governments in order to becompetitive, which creates additional risks for investors. It is importantto note though, that in some regions of <strong>the</strong> world specific renewabletechnologies are broadly competitive with current market <strong>energy</strong> prices(e.g. onshore wind in Europe and solar hot water heaters in China).Concerns over planning and permit issues are significant, though varysignificantly in <strong>the</strong>ir strength and nature depending on <strong>the</strong> jurisdiction.3.2.2 how to overcome investment barriersfor renewable <strong>energy</strong>To see an Energy [R]evolution will require a mix of policymeasures, finance, grid, and development. In summary:• Additional and improved policy support mechanisms forrenewable <strong>energy</strong> are needed in all countries and regions.• Building confidence in <strong>the</strong> existing policy mechanisms may be just asimportant as making <strong>the</strong>m stronger, particularly in <strong>the</strong> short term.• Improved policy mechanisms can also lower <strong>the</strong> cost of finance,particularly by providing longer durations of revenue supportand increasing revenue certainty. 44• Access to finance can be increased by greater involvement ofgovernments and development banks in programs like loanguarantees and green bonds as well as more active private investors.• Grid access and infrastructure needs to be improved throughinvestment in smart, decentralised grids.• Lowering <strong>the</strong> cost of renewable <strong>energy</strong> technologies directly willrequire industry development and boosted research and development.• A smoo<strong>the</strong>r pathway for renewable <strong>energy</strong> needs to be establishedthrough planning and permit issues at <strong>the</strong> local level.3implementing <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution | RENEWABLE ENERGY FINANCING BASICSfigure 3.4: key barriers to renewable <strong>energy</strong> investmentBARRIERS TO INVESTMENTConfidencein policyLack of policyAccessto financeGrid access Utilities Price / costPlanning& permitsGovt.

image MAINTENANCE WORKERS FIX THE BLADESOF A WINDMILL AT GUAZHOU WIND FARM NEARYUMEN IN GANSU PROVINCE, CHINA.© GP/MARKEL REDONDOMoving from principles to action for <strong>energy</strong> supply that mitigatesagainst climate change requires a long-term perspective. Energyinfrastructure takes time to build up; new <strong>energy</strong> technologiestake time to develop. Policy shifts often also need many years totake effect. In most world regions <strong>the</strong> transformation from fossilto renewable energies will require additional investment andhigher supply costs over about twenty years. However, <strong>the</strong>re willbe tremendous economic benefits in <strong>the</strong> long term, due to muchlower consumption of increasingly expensive, rare or importedfuels. Any analysis that seeks to tackle <strong>energy</strong> and environmentalissues <strong>the</strong>refore needs to look ahead at least half a century.Scenarios are necessary to describe possible development paths,to give decision-makers a broad overview and indicate how far<strong>the</strong>y can shape <strong>the</strong> future <strong>energy</strong> system. Two scenarios are usedhere to show <strong>the</strong> wide range of possible pathways in each worldregion for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply system:• Reference scenario, reflecting a continuation of current trendsand policies.• The Energy [R]evolution scenario, designed to achieve a set ofenvironmental policy targets.The Reference scenario is based on <strong>the</strong> Current Policies scenariospublished by <strong>the</strong> International Energy Agency (IEA) in WorldEnergy Outlook 2011 (WEO 2011). 45 It only takes existinginternational <strong>energy</strong> and environmental policies into account. Itsassumptions include, for example, continuing progress inelectricity and gas market reforms, <strong>the</strong> liberalisation of crossborder<strong>energy</strong> trade and recent policies designed to combatenvironmental pollution. The Reference scenario does not includeadditional policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As <strong>the</strong>IEA’s projections only extend to 2035, <strong>the</strong>y have been extendedby extrapolating <strong>the</strong>ir key macroeconomic and <strong>energy</strong> indicatorsforward to 2050. This provides a baseline for comparison with <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenarios.The Energy [R]evolution scenario has a key target to reduceworldwide carbon dioxide emissions from <strong>energy</strong> use down to alevel of below 4 Gigatonnes per year by 2050 in order to hold <strong>the</strong>increase in <strong>global</strong> temperature under +2°C. A second objective is<strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> phasing out of nuclear <strong>energy</strong>. The Energy [R]evolutionscenarios published by Greenpeace in 2007, 2008 and 2010included ‘basic’ and ‘advanced’ scenarios, <strong>the</strong> less ambitioustarget was for 10 Gigatonnes CO2 emissions per year by 2050.However, this 2012 revision only focuses on <strong>the</strong> more ambitious“advanced” Energy [R]evolution scenario first published in 2010.To achieve <strong>the</strong> target, <strong>the</strong> scenario includes significant efforts tofully exploit <strong>the</strong> large potential for <strong>energy</strong> efficiency usingcurrently available best practice technology. At <strong>the</strong> same time, allcost-effective renewable <strong>energy</strong> sources are used for heat andelectricity generation as well as <strong>the</strong> production of biofuels. Thegeneral framework parameters for population and GDP growthremain unchanged from <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario.This new <strong>global</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario is aimed at an evenstronger decrease in CO2 emissions, considering that even10 Gigatonnes – <strong>the</strong> target of <strong>the</strong> 2007 and 2008 editions -might be too high to keep <strong>global</strong> temperature rises at bay. Allgeneral framework parameters such as population and economicgrowth remain similar to previous editions, however <strong>the</strong> uptake ofrenewable energies has been accelerated partly based on <strong>the</strong>latest very positive developments in <strong>the</strong> wind and solarphotovoltaic sectors.Efficiency in use of electricity and fuels in industry and “o<strong>the</strong>rsectors” has been completely re-evaluated using a consistentapproach based on technical efficiency potentials and <strong>energy</strong>intensities. The resulting consumption pathway is close to <strong>the</strong>projection of <strong>the</strong> earlier editions. One key difference for <strong>the</strong> newEnergy [R]evolution scenarios is incorporating stronger efforts todevelop better technologies to achieve CO2 reduction. There islower demand factored into <strong>the</strong> transport sector (compared to<strong>the</strong> basic scenario in 2008 and 2010), from a change in drivingpatterns and a faster uptake of efficient combustion vehicles anda larger share of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles after 2025.This scenario contains a lower use of biofuels for private vehiclesfollowing <strong>the</strong> latest scientific reports that indicate that biofuelsmight have a higher greenhouse gas emission footprint than fossilfuels. There are no <strong>global</strong> sustainability standards for biofuels yet,which would be needed to avoid competition with food growingand to avoid deforestation.The new Energy [R]evolution scenario also foresees a shift in <strong>the</strong>use of renewables from power to heat, thanks to <strong>the</strong> enormousand diverse potential for renewable power. Assumptions for <strong>the</strong>heating sector include a fast expansion of <strong>the</strong> use of district heatand more electricity for process heat in <strong>the</strong> industry sector. Moregeo<strong>the</strong>rmal heat pumps are also included, which leads to a higheroverall electricity demand, when combined with a larger share ofelectric cars for transport. A faster expansion of solar andgeo<strong>the</strong>rmal heating systems is also assumed. Hydrogen generatedby electrolysis and renewable electricity is introduced in thisscenario as third renewable fuel in <strong>the</strong> transport sector after2025 complementary to biofuels and direct use of renewableelectricity. Hydrogen is also applied as a chemical storagemedium for electricity from renewables and used in industrialcombustion processes and cogeneration for provision of heat andelectricity, as well, and for short periods also reconversion intoelectricity. Hydrogen generation can have high <strong>energy</strong> losses,however <strong>the</strong> limited potentials of biofuels and probably alsobattery electric mobility makes it necessary to have a thirdrenewable option. Alternatively, this renewable hydrogen could beconverted into syn<strong>the</strong>tic methane or liquid fuels depending oneconomic benefits (storage costs vs. additional losses) as well astechnology and market development in <strong>the</strong> transport sector(combustion engines vs. fuel cells).4scenarios for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply | SCENARIO BACKGROUNDreference45 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY (IEA), ‘WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK 2011’, OECD/IEA 2011.55


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKscenarios for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply | SCENARIO BACKGROUND4In all sectors, <strong>the</strong> latest market development projections of <strong>the</strong>renewable <strong>energy</strong> industry 46 have been taken into account (SeeTable 4.1 “Assumed average growth rates and annual marketvolumes by renewable technology”). In developing countries inparticular, a shorter operational lifetime for coal power plants, ofup to 20 instead of 35 years, has been assumed in order to allowa faster uptake of renewable <strong>energy</strong>. This is particularly <strong>the</strong> caseof China, as around 90% of new <strong>global</strong> coal power plants builtbetween 2005 and 2011 have been in China (see Chapter 7). Thefast introduction of electric vehicles, combined with <strong>the</strong>implementation of smart grids and faster expansion oftransmission grids (accelerated by about 10 years compared toprevious scenarios) allows a higher share of fluctuating renewablepower generation (photovoltaic and wind) to be employed. In thisscenario, renewable <strong>energy</strong> would pass 30% of <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong>supply just after 2020.The <strong>global</strong> quantities of biomass power generators and largehydro power remain limited in <strong>the</strong> new Energy [R]evolutionscenarios, for reasons of ecological sustainability.These scenarios by no means claim to predict <strong>the</strong> future; <strong>the</strong>ysimply describe and compare two potential consistent developmentpathways out of <strong>the</strong> broad range of possible ‘futures’. The Energy[R]evolution scenarios are designed to indicate <strong>the</strong> efforts andactions required to achieve <strong>the</strong>ir ambitious objectives and toillustrate <strong>the</strong> options we have at hand to change our <strong>energy</strong> supplysystem into one that is truly sustainable.table 4.1: assumed average growth rates and annual market volumes by renewable technologyRE202020302050ENERGY PARAMETERGENERATION (TWh/a)REF28,49035,46148,316E[R]24,02833,04146,573ANNUAL GROWTHRATE (%/a)REFE[R]ANNUAL MARKETVOLUME (GW/a)REFE[R]SolarPV 2020PV 2030PV 2050CSP 2020CSP 2030CSP 205015834169635812698782,6347,2904662,6729,34822%9%8%16%10%14%48%13%12%55%21%15%821430145416222384469WindOn + Offshore 2020On + Offshore 2030On + Offshore 20501,1271,7102,8412,9896,97113,76713%5%6%26%10%8%316753107274257Geo<strong>the</strong>rmal (for power generation)2020203020501181723014001,3013,7656%4%6%21%14%13%12251826Bio<strong>energy</strong> (for power generation)2020203020505749371,6299321,5212,69115%6%6%21%6%7%71611142617Ocean202020302050213561395602,0538%24%17%73%17%16%00151629Hydro2020203020504,2234,8345,8874,1924,5425,0093%2%2%2%1%1%26139772513065reference46 SEE EREC (‘RE-THINKING 2050’), GWEC, EPIA ET AL.56

MULTIPLECOAST GUARD HELICOPTERS, PLANES ANDCUTTERS RESPONDED TO RESCUE THE DEEPWATERHORIZON’S 126 PERSON CREW.© THE UNITED STATESCOAST GUARD4.1 scenario backgroundThe scenarios in this report were jointly commissioned byGreenpeace and <strong>the</strong> European Renewable Energy Council from<strong>the</strong> Systems Analysis group of <strong>the</strong> Institute of TechnicalThermodynamics, part of <strong>the</strong> German Aerospace Center (DLR).The supply scenarios were calculated using <strong>the</strong> MESAP/PlaNetsimulation model adopted in <strong>the</strong> previous Energy [R]evolutionstudies. 47 The new <strong>energy</strong> demand projections were developedfrom Utrecht University, Ne<strong>the</strong>rlands, based on a new analysis of<strong>the</strong> future potential for <strong>energy</strong> efficiency measures in 2012. Thebiomass potential calculated for previous editions, judgedaccording to Greenpeace sustainability criteria, has beendeveloped by <strong>the</strong> German Biomass Research Centre in 2009 andhas been fur<strong>the</strong>r reduced for precautionary principles. The futuredevelopment pathway for car technologies is based on a specialreport produced in 2012 by <strong>the</strong> Institute of Vehicle Concepts,DLR for Greenpeace International. These studies are describedbriefly below.4.1.1 <strong>energy</strong> efficiency study for industry, householdsand servicesThe demand study by Utrecht University aimed to develop a low<strong>energy</strong> demand scenario for <strong>the</strong> period 2009 to 2050 covering <strong>the</strong>world regions as defined in <strong>the</strong> IEA’s World Energy Outlookreport series. Calculations were made for each decade from 2009onwards. Energy demand was split up into electricity and fuelsand <strong>the</strong>ir consumption was considered in industry and for ‘o<strong>the</strong>r’consumers, including households, agriculture and services.Under <strong>the</strong> low <strong>energy</strong> demand scenario, worldwide final <strong>energy</strong>demand in industry and o<strong>the</strong>r sectors is 31% lower in 2050compared to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, resulting in a final <strong>energy</strong>demand of 256 EJ (ExaJoules). The <strong>energy</strong> savings are fairlyequally distributed over <strong>the</strong> two main sectors. The most important<strong>energy</strong> saving options would be efficient production andcombustion processes and improved heat insulation and buildingdesign. Chapter 10 provides more details about this study. Thedemand projections for <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario have been updatedon <strong>the</strong> basis of <strong>the</strong> Current Policies scenario from IEA’s WorldEnergy Outlook 2011.4.1.2 <strong>the</strong> future for transportThe DLR Institute of Vehicle Concepts in Stuttgart, Germany hasdeveloped a <strong>global</strong> scenario for all transport modes covering tenworld regions. The aim was to produce a demanding but feasiblescenario to lower <strong>global</strong> CO2 emissions from transport in keepingwith <strong>the</strong> overall objectives of this report. The approach takes intoaccount a vast range of technical measures to reduce <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong>consumption of vehicles, but also considers <strong>the</strong> dramatic increasein vehicle ownership and annual mileage taking place indeveloping countries. The major parameters are vehicletechnology, alternative fuels, changes in sales of different vehiclesizes of light duty vehicles (called <strong>the</strong> segment split) and changesin tonne-kilometres and vehicle-kilometres travelled (described asmodal split). The Reference scenario for <strong>the</strong> transport sector isalso based on <strong>the</strong> fuel consumption path of <strong>the</strong> Current Policiesscenario from WEO 2011.By combining ambitious efforts towards higher efficiency in vehicletechnologies, a major switch to grid-connected electric vehicles(especially LDVs) and incentives for vehicle users to save carbondioxide <strong>the</strong> study finds that it is possible to reduce CO2 emissionsfrom ‘well-to-wheel’ in <strong>the</strong> transport sector in 2050 by roughly77% 48 compared to 1990 and 81% compared to 2009. By 2050,in this scenario, 25% of <strong>the</strong> final <strong>energy</strong> used in transport will stillcome from fossil sources, mainly gasoline, kerosene and diesel.Renewable electricity will cover 41%, biofuels 11% and hydrogen20%. Total <strong>energy</strong> consumption will be reduced by 26% in 2050compared to 2009 even though <strong>the</strong>re are enormous increases infuel use in some regions of <strong>the</strong> world. The peak in <strong>global</strong> CO2emissions from transport occurs between 2015 and 2020. From2012 onwards, new legislation in <strong>the</strong> US and Europe willcontribute to breaking <strong>the</strong> upwards trend. From 2020, <strong>the</strong> effect ofintroducing grid-connected electric cars can be clearly seen.Chapter 11 provides more details of this report.4.1.3 fossil fuel assessment reportAs part of <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, Greenpeace alsocommissioned <strong>the</strong> Ludwig-Bölkow-Systemtechnik Institute inMunich, Germany to research a new fossil fuel resourcesassessment taking into account planned and ongoing investmentsin coal, gas and oil on a <strong>global</strong> and regional basis (see fossil fuelpathway Chapter 7).4scenarios for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply | MAIN SCENARIO ASSUMPTIONS4.1.4 status and future projections for renewableheating technologiesEREC and <strong>the</strong> DLR undertook a detailed research about <strong>the</strong>current renewable heating technology markets, market forecasts,cost projections and state of <strong>the</strong> technology development.

The IEA World EnergyOutlook 2011 uses <strong>the</strong> United Nations Development Programme(UNDP) projections for population development. For this study<strong>the</strong> most recent population projections from UNDP up to 2050are applied 53 , in addition, <strong>the</strong> current national populationprojection is used for China (see Table 4.2).Based on UNDP’s 2010 assessment, <strong>the</strong> world’s population isexpected to grow by 0.76 % on average over <strong>the</strong> period 2007 to2050, from 6.8 billion people in 2009 to nearly 9.3 billion by 2050.The rate of population growth will slow over <strong>the</strong> projection period,from 1.1% per year during 2009-2020 to 0.5% per year during2040-2050. The updated projections show an increase in populationestimates by 2050 of around 150 million compared to <strong>the</strong> UNDP2008 edition. This will slightly increase <strong>the</strong> demand for <strong>energy</strong>. Froma regional perspective,<strong>the</strong> population of <strong>the</strong> developing regions willcontinue to grow most rapidly. The Eastern Europe/Eurasia will facea continuous decline, followed after a short while by <strong>the</strong> OECD AsiaOceania. The population in OECD Europe and OECD North Americaare expected to increase through 2050. The share of <strong>the</strong> populationliving in today’s non-OECD countries will increase from <strong>the</strong> current82% to 85% in 2050. China’s contribution to world population willdrop from 20% today to 14% in 2050. Africa will remain <strong>the</strong>region with <strong>the</strong> highest growth rate, leading to a share of 24% ofworld population in 2050.Satisfying <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> needs of a growing population in <strong>the</strong>developing regions of <strong>the</strong> world in an environmentally friendlymanner is <strong>the</strong> fundamental challenge to achieve a <strong>global</strong>sustainable <strong>energy</strong> supply.table 4.2: population development projections(IN MILLIONS)REGIONWorldOECD EuropeOECD NorthAmericaOECD AsiaOceaniaEastern Europe/EurasiaIndiaChinaNon OECDAsiaLatinAmericaAfricaMiddle East20096,8185554582013391,2081,3421,04646899920320157,2845704842043401,3081,3771,1284991.04522920207,6685795042053411,3871,4071,1945221,27825020258,0365875242053401,4591,4361,2545441,41727020308,3725935412043371,5231,4521,3075621,56228920408,9785995711993311,6271,4741,3925891,870326source UN WORLD POPULATION PROSPECTS - 2010 REVISION, MEDIUM VARIANT,AND NATIONAL POPULATION SCENARIO FOR CHINA.20509,4696005951933241,6921,4681,4456032,1923584.4 economic growthEconomic growth is a key driver for <strong>energy</strong> demand. Since 1971,each 1% increase in <strong>global</strong> Gross Domestic Product (GDP) hasbeen accompanied by a 0.6% increase in primary <strong>energy</strong>consumption. The decoupling of <strong>energy</strong> demand and GDP growthis <strong>the</strong>refore a prerequisite for an Energy [R]evolution. Most<strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong>/economic/environmental models constructed in <strong>the</strong>past have relied on market exchange rates to place countries in acommon currency for estimation and calibration. This approachhas been <strong>the</strong> subject of considerable discussion in recent years,and an alternative has been proposed in <strong>the</strong> form of purchasingpower parity (PPP) exchange rates. Purchasing power paritiescompare <strong>the</strong> costs in different currencies of a fixed basket oftraded and non-traded goods and services and yield a widelybasedmeasure of <strong>the</strong> standard of living. This is important inanalysing <strong>the</strong> main drivers of <strong>energy</strong> demand or for comparing<strong>energy</strong> intensities among countries.Although PPP assessments are still relatively imprecisecompared to statistics based on national income and producttrade and national price indexes, <strong>the</strong>y are considered to provide abetter basis for <strong>global</strong> scenario development. 54 Thus all data oneconomic development in WEO 2011 refers to purchasing poweradjusted GDP. However, as WEO 2011 only covers <strong>the</strong> time periodup to 2035, <strong>the</strong> projections for 2035-2050 for <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario are based on our own estimates.Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, estimates of Africa’s GDP development have beenadjusted upward compared to WEO 2011.Prospects for GDP growth have decreased considerably since <strong>the</strong>previous study, due to <strong>the</strong> financial crisis at <strong>the</strong> beginning of2009, although underlying growth trends continue much <strong>the</strong>same. GDP growth in all regions is expected to slow graduallyover <strong>the</strong> coming decades. World GDP is assumed to grow onaverage by 3.8% per year over <strong>the</strong> period 2009-2030, comparedto 3.1% from 1971 to 2007, and on average by 3.1% per yearover <strong>the</strong> entire modelling period (2009-2011). China and Indiaare expected to grow faster than o<strong>the</strong>r regions, followed by <strong>the</strong>Middle East, Africa, remaining Non OECD Asia, and EasternEurope/Eurasia. The Chinese economy will slow as it becomesmore mature, but will none<strong>the</strong>less become <strong>the</strong> largest in <strong>the</strong>world in PPP terms early in <strong>the</strong> 2020s. GDP in OECD Europeand OECD Asia Oceania is assumed to grow by around 1.6 and1.3% per year over <strong>the</strong> projection period, while economic growthin OECD North America is expected to be slightly higher. TheOECD share of <strong>global</strong> PPP-adjusted GDP will decrease from56% in 2009 to 33% in 2050.references53 ‘WORLD POPULATION PROSPECTS: THE 2010 REVISION (MEDIUM VARIANT)’, UNITED NATIONS,POPULATION DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS (UNDP), 2011.54 NORDHAUS, W, ‘ALTERNATIVE MEASURES OF OUTPUT IN GLOBAL ECONOMIC-ENVIRONMENTALMODELS: PURCHASING POWER PARITY OR MARKET EXCHANGE RATES?’, REPORT PREPARED FOR IPCCEXPERT MEETING ON EMISSION SCENARIOS, US-EPA WASHINGTON DC, JANUARY 12-14, 2005.594scenarios for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply | OIL AND GAS PRICE PROJECTS

Under<strong>the</strong> 2004 ‘high oil and gas price’ scenario from <strong>the</strong> EuropeanCommission, for example, an oil price of just $ 34 per barrel wasassumed in 2030. More recent projections of oil prices by 2035in <strong>the</strong> IEA’s WEO 2011 range from $2010 97/bbl in <strong>the</strong> 450 ppmscenario up to $2010 140/bbl in current policies scenario.Since <strong>the</strong> first Energy [R]evolution study was published in 2007,however, <strong>the</strong> actual price of oil has moved over $ 100/bbl for <strong>the</strong>first time, and in July 2008 reached a record high of more than$ 140/bbl. Although oil prices fell back to $ 100/bbl inSeptember 2008 and around $ 80/bbl in April 2010, prices haveincreased to more than $ 110/bbl in early 2012. Thus, <strong>the</strong>projections in <strong>the</strong> IEA Current Policies scenario might still beconsidered too conservative. Taking into account <strong>the</strong> growing<strong>global</strong> demand for oil we have assumed a price development pathfor fossil fuels slightly higher than <strong>the</strong> IEA WEO 2011 “CurrentPolicies” case extrapolated forward to 2050 (see Table 4.4).As <strong>the</strong> supply of natural gas is limited by <strong>the</strong> availability of pipelineinfrastructure, <strong>the</strong>re is no world market price for gas. In most regionsof <strong>the</strong> world <strong>the</strong> gas price is directly tied to <strong>the</strong> price of oil.

Projections of emissions costs are even moreuncertain than <strong>energy</strong> prices, and a broad range of futureestimates has been made in studies. The CO2 costs assumed in2050 are often higher than those included in this Energy[R]evolution study (75 $2010/tCO2) 55 , reflecting estimates of <strong>the</strong>total external costs of CO2 emissions. The CO2 cost estimates in<strong>the</strong> 2010 version of Energy [R]evolution were ra<strong>the</strong>r conservative(50 $2008/t). CO2 costs are applied in Kyoto Protocol Non-Annex Bcountries only from 2030 on.table 4.5: assumptions on CO2 emissions cost developmentfor Annex-B and Non-Annex-B countries of <strong>the</strong> UNFCCC.($2000/tCO2)COUNTRIESAnnex-B countriesNon-Annex-B countries2010002015150202025020304040204055554.7 cost projections for efficient fossil fuelgeneration and carbon capture and storage (CCS)Fur<strong>the</strong>r cost reduction potentials are assumed for fuel powertechnologies in use today for coal, gas, lignite and oil. Because<strong>the</strong>y are at an advanced stage of market development <strong>the</strong>4potential for cost reductions is limited, and will be achievedmainly through an increase in efficiency. 56There is much speculation about <strong>the</strong> potential for carbon captureand storage (CCS) to mitigate <strong>the</strong> effect of fossil fuelconsumption on climate change, even though <strong>the</strong> technology isstill under development.CCS means trapping CO2 from fossil fuels, ei<strong>the</strong>r before or after<strong>the</strong>y are burned, and ‘storing’ (effectively disposing of) it in <strong>the</strong>sea or beneath <strong>the</strong> surface of <strong>the</strong> earth. There are currently threedifferent methods of capturing CO2: ‘pre-combustion’, ‘postcombustion’and ‘oxyfuel combustion’. However, development is ata very early stage and CCS will not be implemented - in <strong>the</strong> bestcase - before 2020 and will probably not become commerciallyviable as a possible effective mitigation option until 2030.Cost estimates for CCS vary considerably, depending on factors suchas power station configuration, technology, fuel costs, size of projectand location. One thing is certain, however: CCS is expensive. Itrequires significant funds to construct <strong>the</strong> power stations and <strong>the</strong>necessary infrastructure to transport and store carbon. The IPCCspecial report on CCS assesses costs at $15-75 per ton of capturedCO2 57 , while a 2007 US Department of Energy report foundinstalling carbon capture systems to most modern plants resulted ina near doubling of costs. 58 These costs are estimated to increase <strong>the</strong>price of electricity in a range from 21-91%. 59table 4.6: development of efficiency and investment costs for selected new power plant technologies20507575scenarios for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply | COST PROJECTIONS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESPOWER PLANT2009201520202030 2040 2050Coal-fired condensingpower plantLignite-fired condensingpower plantNatural gascombined cycleMax. efficiency (%)Investment costs ($2010/kW)CO2 emissions a) (g/kWh)Max. efficiency (%)Investment costs ($2010/kW)CO2 emissions a) (g/kWh)Max. efficiency (%)Investment costs ($2010/kW)CO2 emissions a) (g/kWh)451,436744411,69397557777354461,384728431,61492959754342481,363697441,57890861736330501,33067044,51,54589862701325521,295644451,51188863666320531,262632451,47888864631315sourceWEO 2010, DLR 2010 a) CO2 emissions refer to power station outputs only; life-cycle emissions are not considered.references55 KREWITT, W., SCHLOMANN, B., EXTERNAL COSTS OF ELECTRICITY GENERATION FROM RENEWABLEENERGIES COMPARED TO ELECTRICITY GENERATION FROM FOSSIL ENERGY SOURCES, GERMAN FEDERALMINISTRY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, NATURE CONSERVATION AND NUCLEAR SAFETY, BERLIN 2006.56 GREENPEACE INTERNATIONAL BRIEFING: CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE’, GOERNE, 2007.57 ABANADES, J C ET AL., 2005, PG 10.58 NATIONAL ENERGY TECHNOLOGY LABORATORIES, 2007.59 RUBIN ET AL., 2005A, PG 40.61


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKscenarios for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply | COST PROJECTIONS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES4Pipeline networks will also need to be constructed to move CO2 tostorage sites. This is likely to require a considerable outlay ofcapital. 60 Costs will vary depending on a number of factors,including pipeline length, diameter and manufacture fromcorrosion-resistant steel, as well as <strong>the</strong> volume of CO2 to betransported. Pipelines built near population centres or on difficultterrain, such as marshy or rocky ground, are more expensive. 61The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)estimates a cost range for pipelines of $1-8/tonne of CO2transported. A United States Congressional Research Servicesreport calculated capital costs for an 11 mile pipeline in <strong>the</strong>Midwestern region of <strong>the</strong> US at approximately $6 million. Thesame report estimates that a dedicated interstate pipelinenetwork in North Carolina would cost upwards of $5 billion dueto <strong>the</strong> limited geological sequestration potential in that part of<strong>the</strong> country. 62 Storage and subsequent monitoring and verificationcosts are estimated by <strong>the</strong> IPCC to range from $0.5-8/tCO2 (forstorage) and $0.1-0.3/tCO2 (for monitoring). The overall cost ofCCS could <strong>the</strong>refore be a major barrier to its deployment. 63For <strong>the</strong> above reasons, CCS power plants are not included in oureconomic analysis.Table 4.6 summarises our assumptions on <strong>the</strong> technical andeconomic parameters of future fossil-fuelled power planttechnologies. Based on estimates from WEO 2010, we assume thatfur<strong>the</strong>r technical innovation will not prevent an increase of futureinvestment costs because raw material costs and technicalcomplexity will continue to increase. Also, improvements in powerplant efficiency are outweighed by <strong>the</strong> expected increase in fossil fuelprices, which would increase electricity generation costs significantly.4.8 cost projections for renewable <strong>energy</strong> technologiesThe different renewable <strong>energy</strong> technologies available today allhave different technical maturity, costs and development potential.Whereas hydro power has been widely used for decades, o<strong>the</strong>rtechnologies, such as <strong>the</strong> gasification of biomass or ocean <strong>energy</strong>,have yet to find <strong>the</strong>ir way to market maturity. Some renewablesources by <strong>the</strong>ir very nature, including wind and solar power,provide a variable supply, requiring a revised coordination with <strong>the</strong>grid network. But although in many cases renewable <strong>energy</strong>technologies are ‘distributed’ - <strong>the</strong>ir output being generated anddelivered locally to <strong>the</strong> consumer – in <strong>the</strong> future we can also havelarge-scale applications like offshore wind parks, photovoltaicpower plants or concentrating solar power stations.It is possible to develop a wide spectrum of options to marketmaturity, using <strong>the</strong> individual advantages of <strong>the</strong> differenttechnologies, and linking <strong>the</strong>m with each o<strong>the</strong>r, and integrating<strong>the</strong>m step by step into <strong>the</strong> existing supply structures. Thisapproach will provide a complementary portfolio ofenvironmentally friendly technologies for heat and power supplyand <strong>the</strong> provision of transport fuels.Many of <strong>the</strong> renewable technologies employed today are at arelatively early stage of market development. As a result, <strong>the</strong>costs of electricity, heat and fuel production are generally higherthan those of competing conventional systems - a reminder that<strong>the</strong> environmental and social costs of conventional powerproduction are not reflected in market prices. It is expected,however that large cost reductions can come from technicaladvances, manufacturing improvements and large-scaleproduction, unlike conventional technologies. The dynamic trendof cost developments over time plays a crucial role in identifyingeconomically sensible expansion strategies for scenarios spanningseveral decades.To identify long-term cost developments, learning curves havebeen applied to <strong>the</strong> model calculations to reflect how cost of aparticular technology change in relation to <strong>the</strong> cumulativeproduction volumes. For many technologies, <strong>the</strong> learning factor(or progress ratio) is between 0.75 for less mature systems to0.95 and higher for well-established technologies. A learningfactor of 0.9 means that costs are expected to fall by 10% everytime <strong>the</strong> cumulative output from <strong>the</strong> technology doubles.Empirical data shows, for example, that <strong>the</strong> learning factor forPV solar modules has been fairly constant at 0.8 over 30 yearswhilst that for wind <strong>energy</strong> varies from 0.75 in <strong>the</strong> UK to 0.94 in<strong>the</strong> more advanced German market.Assumptions on future costs for renewable electricity technologiesin <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario are derived from a review oflearning curve studies, for example by Lena Neij and o<strong>the</strong>rs 64 , from<strong>the</strong> analysis of recent technology foresight and road mappingstudies, including <strong>the</strong> European Commission funded NEEDSproject (New Energy Externalities Developments forSustainability) 65 or <strong>the</strong> IEA Energy Technology Perspectives 2008,projections by <strong>the</strong> European Renewable Energy Council publishedin April 2010 (“Re-Thinking 2050”) and discussions with expertsfrom different sectors of <strong>the</strong> renewable <strong>energy</strong> industry.62references60 RAGDEN, P ET AL., 2006, PG 18.61 HEDDLE, G ET AL., 2003, PG 17.62 PARFOMAK, P & FOLGER, P, 2008, PG 5 AND 12.63 RUBIN ET AL., 2005B, PG 4444.64 NEIJ, L, ‘COST DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES FOR POWER GENERATION - A STUDY BASEDON EXPERIENCE CURVES AND COMPLEMENTARY BOTTOM-UP ASSESSMENTS’, ENERGY POLICY 36(2008), 2200-2211.65 WWW.NEEDS-PROJECT.ORG.

The PV industry has beenincreasingly exploiting this potential during <strong>the</strong> last few years,with installation prices more than halving in <strong>the</strong> last few years.Current development is focused on improving existing modules andsystem components by increasing <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>energy</strong> efficiency andreducing material usage. Technologies like PV thin film (usingalternative semiconductor materials) or dye sensitive solar cellsare developing quickly and present a huge potential for costreduction. The mature technology crystalline silicon, with a provenlifetime of 30 years, is continually increasing its cell and moduleefficiency (by 0.5% annually), whereas <strong>the</strong> cell thickness israpidly decreasing (from 230 to 180 microns over <strong>the</strong> last fiveyears). Commercial module efficiency varies from 14 to 21%,depending on silicon quality and fabrication process.The learning factor for PV modules has been fairly constant over<strong>the</strong> last 30 years with costs reducing by 20% each time <strong>the</strong>installed capacity doubles, indicating a high rate of technicallearning. Assuming a <strong>global</strong>ly installed capacity of about 1,500 GWbetween 2030 and 2040 in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario withan electricity output of 2,600 TWh/a, generation costs of around$ 5-10 cents/kWh (depending on <strong>the</strong> region) will be achieved.During <strong>the</strong> following five to ten years, PV will become competitivewith retail electricity prices in many parts of <strong>the</strong> world, andcompetitive with fossil fuel costs around 2030. Cost data applied inthis study is shown in Table 4.7. In <strong>the</strong> long term, additional costsfor <strong>the</strong> integration into <strong>the</strong> power supply system of up to 25% ofPV investment have been taken into account (estimation for localbatteries and load and generation management measures).4.8.2 concentrating solar power (CSP)Solar <strong>the</strong>rmal ‘concentrating’ power stations (CSP) can only usedirect sunlight and are <strong>the</strong>refore dependent on very sunnylocations. North Africa, for example, has a technical potential forthis technology which far exceeds regional demand. The varioussolar <strong>the</strong>rmal technologies (detailed in Chapter 9) have goodprospects for fur<strong>the</strong>r development and cost reductions. Because of<strong>the</strong>ir more simple design, ‘Fresnel’ collectors are considered as anoption for additional cost trimming. The efficiency of centralreceiver systems can be increased by producing compressed air at atemperature of up to 1,000°C, which is <strong>the</strong>n used to run acombined gas and steam turbine.Thermal storage systems are a way for CSP electricity generatorsto reduce costs. The Spanish Andasol 1 plant, for example, isequipped with molten salt storage with a capacity of 7.5 hours. Ahigher level of full load operation can be realised by using a <strong>the</strong>rmalstorage system and a large collector field. Although this leads tohigher investment costs, it reduces <strong>the</strong> cost of electricity generation.Depending on <strong>the</strong> level of irradiation and mode of operation, it isexpected that long term future electricity generation costs of$ 6-10 cents/kWh can be achieved. This presupposes rapid marketintroduction in <strong>the</strong> next few years. CSP investment costs assumedfor this study and shown in Table 4.8 include costs for anincreasing storage capacity up to 12 hours per day and additionalsolar fields up to solar multiple 3, achieving a maximum of 6,500full load hours per year.4scenarios for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply | COST PROJECTIONS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIEStable 4.7: photovoltaics (PV) cost assumptionsINCLUDING ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR GRID INTEGRATION OF UP TO 25% OF PV INVESTMENTtable 4.8: concentrating solar power (CSP) cost assumptionsINCLUDING COSTS FOR HEAT STORAGE AND ADDITIONAL SOLAR FIELDSSCENARIO2009201520202030 2040 2050SCENARIO2009201520202030 2040 2050E[R]Investment costs ($/kWp)O & M costs $/(kW ∙ a)E[R]Investment costs ($/kWp)O & M costs $/(kW ∙ a)3,000432,300381,650211,28015 1,04014 1,060159,3004208,1003306,6002655,750229 5,300211 4,800193O & M = Operation and maintenance.O & M = Operation and maintenance.63


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKscenarios for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply | COST PROJECTIONS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES44.8.3 wind powerWithin a short period of time, <strong>the</strong> dynamic development of windpower has resulted in <strong>the</strong> establishment of a flourishing <strong>global</strong>market. In Europe, favourable policy incentives were <strong>the</strong> earlydrivers for <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> wind market. However, since 2009 more thanthree quarters of <strong>the</strong> annual capacity installed was outside Europeand this trend is likely to continue. The boom in demand for windpower technology has none<strong>the</strong>less led to supply constraints. As aconsequence, <strong>the</strong> cost of new systems has increased. The industry iscontinuously expanding production capacity, however, so it isalready resolving <strong>the</strong> bottlenecks in <strong>the</strong> supply chain. Taking intoaccount market development projections, learning curve analysisand industry expectations, we assume that investment costs forwind turbines will reduce by 25% for onshore and more than 50%for offshore installations up to 2050. Additional costs for gridintegration of up to 25% of investment has been taken intoaccount also in <strong>the</strong> cost data for wind power shown in Table 4.9.4.8.4 biomassThe crucial factor for <strong>the</strong> economics of using biomass for <strong>energy</strong> is<strong>the</strong> cost of <strong>the</strong> feedstock, which today ranges from a negative forwaste wood (based on credit for waste disposal costs avoided)through inexpensive residual materials to <strong>the</strong> more expensive<strong>energy</strong> crops. The resulting spectrum of <strong>energy</strong> generation costs iscorrespondingly broad. One of <strong>the</strong> most economic options is <strong>the</strong> useof waste wood in steam turbine combined heat and power (CHP)plants. Gasification of solid biomass, on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, which hasa wide range of applications, is still relatively expensive. In <strong>the</strong> longterm it is expected that using wood gas both in micro CHP units(engines and fuel cells) and in gas-and-steam power plants willhave <strong>the</strong> most favourable electricity production costs. Convertingcrops into ethanol and ‘bio diesel’ made from rapeseed methyl ester(RME) has become increasingly important in recent years, forexample in Brazil, <strong>the</strong> USA and Europe – although its climatebenefit is disputed. Processes for obtaining syn<strong>the</strong>tic fuels frombiogenic syn<strong>the</strong>sis gases will also play a larger role.A large potential for exploiting modern technologies exists in Latinand North America, Europe and Eurasia, ei<strong>the</strong>r in stationaryappliances or <strong>the</strong> transport sector. In <strong>the</strong> long term, OECD Europeand Eastern Europe/Eurasia could realise 20-50% of <strong>the</strong> potentialfor biomass from <strong>energy</strong> crops, whilst biomass use in all <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rregions will have to rely on forest residues, industrial wood wasteand straw. In Latin America, North America and Africa inparticular, an increasing residue potential will be available.In o<strong>the</strong>r regions, such as <strong>the</strong> Middle East and all Asian regions,increased use of biomass is restricted, ei<strong>the</strong>r due to a generally lowavailability or already high traditional use. For <strong>the</strong> latter, usingmodern, more efficient technologies will improve <strong>the</strong> sustainabilityof current usage and will have positive side effects, such asreducing indoor pollution and heavy workloads currently associatedwith traditional biomass use.table 4.9: wind power cost assumptionsINCLUDING ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR GRID INTEGRATION OF UP TO 25% OF INVESTMENTtable 4.10: biomass cost assumptionsSCENARIO2009201520202030 2040 2050SCENARIO2009201520202030 2040 2050E[R]Wind turbine offshoreInvestment costs ($/kWp)O & M costs $/(kW ∙ a)Wind turbine onshoreInvestment costs ($/kWp)O & M costs $/(kW ∙ a)E[R]6,000 5,100 3,800 3,000 2,700 2,350230 205 161 131 124 1071,800 1,500 1,290 1,280 1,300 1,35064 55 55 56 59 61Biomass power plantInvestment costs ($/kWp)O & M costs $/(kW ∙ a)Biomass CHPInvestment costs ($/kWp)O & M costs $/(kW ∙ a)3,3502015,7003973,1001855,0503543,0001754,4003102,8001693,8502702,7001623,5502502,6501663,380237O & M = Operation and maintenance.O & M = Operation and maintenance.64

Geo<strong>the</strong>rmally generated electricity was previouslylimited to sites with specific geological conditions, but fur<strong>the</strong>rintensive research and development work widened potential sites.In particular <strong>the</strong> creation of large underground heat exchangesurfaces - Enhanced Geo<strong>the</strong>rmal Systems (EGS) - and <strong>the</strong>improvement of low temperature power conversion, for examplewith <strong>the</strong> Organic Rankine Cycle, could make it possible toproduce geo<strong>the</strong>rmal electricity anywhere. Advanced heat andpower cogeneration plants will also improve <strong>the</strong> economics ofgeo<strong>the</strong>rmal electricity.A large part of <strong>the</strong> costs for a geo<strong>the</strong>rmal power plant comefrom deep underground drilling, so fur<strong>the</strong>r development ofinnovative drilling technology is expected. Assuming a <strong>global</strong>average market growth for geo<strong>the</strong>rmal power capacity of 15%per year up to 2020, adjusting to 12% up to 2030 and still 7%per year beyond 2030, <strong>the</strong> result would be a cost reductionpotential of more than 60% by 2050:• for conventional geo<strong>the</strong>rmal power (without heat credits), from$ 15 cents/kWh to about $ 9 cents/kWh;• for EGS, despite <strong>the</strong> presently high figures (about $ 20-30cents/kWh), electricity production costs - depending on <strong>the</strong> creditsfor heat supply - are expected to come down to around$ 8 cents/kWh in <strong>the</strong> long term.Because of its non-fluctuating supply and a grid load operatingalmost 100% of <strong>the</strong> time, geo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> is considered to bea key element in a future supply structure based on renewablesources. Up to now we have only used a marginal part of <strong>the</strong>potential. Shallow geo<strong>the</strong>rmal drilling, for example, can deliver<strong>energy</strong> for heating and cooling at any time anywhere, and can beused for <strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> storage.4.8.6 ocean <strong>energy</strong>Ocean <strong>energy</strong>, particularly offshore wave <strong>energy</strong>, is a significantresource and has <strong>the</strong> potential to satisfy an important percentageof electricity supply worldwide. Globally, <strong>the</strong> potential of ocean<strong>energy</strong> has been estimated at around 90,000 TWh/year. The most4significant advantages are <strong>the</strong> vast availability and highpredictability of <strong>the</strong> resource and a technology with very lowvisual impact and no CO2 emissions. Many different concepts anddevices have been developed, including taking <strong>energy</strong> from <strong>the</strong>tides, waves, currents and both <strong>the</strong>rmal and saline gradientresources. Many of <strong>the</strong>se are in an advanced phase of researchand development, large scale prototypes have been deployed inreal sea conditions and some have reached pre-marketdeployment. There are a few grid connected, fully operationalcommercial wave and tidal generating plants.The cost of <strong>energy</strong> from initial tidal and wave <strong>energy</strong> farms hasbeen estimated to be in <strong>the</strong> range of $ 25-95 cents/kWh 66 , and forinitial tidal stream farms in <strong>the</strong> range of $ 14-28 cents/kWh.Generation costs of $ 8-10 cents/kWh are expected by 2030. Keyareas for development will include concept design, optimisation of<strong>the</strong> device configuration, reduction of capital costs by exploring <strong>the</strong>use of alternative structural materials, economies of scale andlearning from operation. According to <strong>the</strong> latest research findings,<strong>the</strong> learning factor is estimated to be 10-15% for offshore waveand 5-10% for tidal stream. In <strong>the</strong> long term, ocean <strong>energy</strong> has <strong>the</strong>potential to become one of <strong>the</strong> most competitive and cost effectiveforms of generation. In <strong>the</strong> next few years a dynamic marketpenetration is expected, following a similar curve to wind <strong>energy</strong>.Because of <strong>the</strong> early development stage any future cost estimatesfor ocean <strong>energy</strong> systems are uncertain. Present cost estimates arebased on analysis from <strong>the</strong> European NEEDS project. 67scenarios for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply | COST PROJECTIONS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIEStable 4.11: geo<strong>the</strong>rmal cost assumptionstable 4.12: ocean <strong>energy</strong> cost assumptionsSCENARIO2009201520202030 2040 2050SCENARIO2009201520202030 2040 2050E[R]Geo<strong>the</strong>rmal power plantInvestment costs ($/kWp)O & M costs $/(kW ∙ a)13,50063711,1005389,3004186,400318 5,300297 4,550281E[R]Geo<strong>the</strong>rmal power plantInvestment costs ($/kWp)O & M costs $/(kW ∙ a)5,9002374,6501853,3001322,30091 1,90077 1,70068O & M = Operation and maintenance.O & M = Operation and maintenance.references66 G.J.

It isimportant to note that <strong>the</strong> expected cost reduction is not afunction of time, but of cumulative capacity (production of units),so dynamic market developments are required. Most of <strong>the</strong>technologies will be able to reduce <strong>the</strong>ir specific investment coststo between 30% and 60% of current levels once <strong>the</strong>y haveachieved full maturity (after 2040).Reduced investment costs for renewable <strong>energy</strong> technologies leaddirectly to reduced electricity generation costs, as shown in Figure4.3. Generation costs in 2009 were around $ 8 to 35 cents/kWhfor <strong>the</strong> most important technologies, with <strong>the</strong> exception ofphotovoltaic. In <strong>the</strong> long term, costs are expected to converge ataround $ 6 to 12 cents/kWh (examples for OECD Europe). Theseestimates depend on site-specific conditions such as <strong>the</strong> local windregime or solar irradiation, <strong>the</strong> availability of biomass atreasonable prices or <strong>the</strong> credit granted for heat supply in <strong>the</strong> caseof combined heat and power generation.figure 4.3: expected development of electricitygeneration costs from fossil fuel and renewable optionsEXAMPLE FOR OECD EUROPE0.400.350.300.250.200.150.100.05$ ct/kWh 0PVWIND TURBINE ONSHOREWIND TURBINE OFFSHOREBIOMASS CHPGEOTHERMAL (WITH HEAT CREDITS)•SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANT (CSP)OCEAN ENERGY POWER PLANT2009 2015 2020 2030 2040 205066

In a joint survey EREC and DLR carried out asurvey on renewable heating technologies in Europe (see alsotechnology chapter 9). The report analyses installation costs ofrenewable heating technologies, ranging from direct solar collectorsystems to geo<strong>the</strong>rmal and ambient heat applications and biomasstechnologies. Some technologies are already mature and competeon <strong>the</strong> market – especially simple heating systems in <strong>the</strong> domesticsector. However, more sophisticated technologies, which canprovide higher shares of heat demand from renewable sources, arestill under development. Costs of different technologies show quitea large range depending not only on <strong>the</strong> maturity of <strong>the</strong>technology but also on <strong>the</strong> complexity of <strong>the</strong> system as well as <strong>the</strong>local conditions. Market barriers slow down <strong>the</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>rimplementation and cost reduction of renewable heating systems,especially for heating networks. Never<strong>the</strong>less, significant learningrates can be expected if renewable heating is increasinglyimplemented as projected in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario.4.9.1 solar <strong>the</strong>rmal technologiesSolar collectors depend on direct solar irradiation, so <strong>the</strong> yieldstrongly depends on <strong>the</strong> location. In very sunny regions even verysimple collectors can provide hot water to households at very lowcost. In Europe, <strong>the</strong>rmosiphon systems can provide total hotwater demand in households at around 400 €/m 2 installationcosts. In regions with less sun, where additional space heating isneeded, installation cost for pumped systems are twice as high. In<strong>the</strong>se areas, economies of scales can decrease solar heating costssignificantly. Large scale solar collector system are known from250-600 €/m 2 , depending on <strong>the</strong> share of solar <strong>energy</strong> in <strong>the</strong>whole heating system and <strong>the</strong> level of storage required. Whilethose cost assumptions were transferred to all OECD Regions and<strong>the</strong> Eastern European Economies, a lower cost level forhouseholds was assumed in very sunny or developing regions.4.9.2 deep geo<strong>the</strong>rmal applications(Deep) geo<strong>the</strong>rmal heat from aquifers or reservoirs can be useddirectly in hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal heating plants to supply heat demandclose to <strong>the</strong> plant or in a district heating network for severaldifferent types of heat (see Chapter 8). Due to <strong>the</strong> high drillingcosts deep geo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> is mostly feasibly for largeapplications in combination with heat networks. It is alreadyeconomic feasible and has been in use for a long time, whereaquifers can be found near <strong>the</strong> surface, e.g. in <strong>the</strong> Pacific Island oralong <strong>the</strong> Pacific ring of fire. Also in Europe deep geo<strong>the</strong>rmalapplications are being developed for heating purposes at investmentcosts from 500€/kWth (shallow) to 3000 €/kWth (deep), with <strong>the</strong>costs strongly dependent on <strong>the</strong> drilling depth. As deep geo<strong>the</strong>rmalsystems require a high technology level, European cost assumptionswere transferred to all regions worldwide.4.9.3 heat pumpsHeat pumps typically provide hot water or space heat for heatingsystems with relatively low supply temperature or can serve as asupplement to o<strong>the</strong>r heating technologies. They have becomeincreasingly popular for underfloor heating in buildings in Europe.Economies of scale are less important than for deep geo<strong>the</strong>rmal, so<strong>the</strong>re is focus on small household applications with investment costs inEurope ranging from 500-1,600 €/kW for ground water systems andfrom 1,200-3,000 €/kW for ground source or aero<strong>the</strong>rmal systems.4.9.4 biomass applicationsThere is broad portfolio of modern technologies for heat productionfrom biomass, ranging from small scale single room stoves to heatingor CHP-plants in MW scale. Investments costs in Europe show asimilar variety: simple log wood stoves can be obtained from 100€/kW, more sophisticated automated heating systems that cover <strong>the</strong>whole heat demand of a building are significantly more expensive.Log wood or pellet boilers range from 400-1200 €/kW, with largeapplications being cheaper than small systems. Considering <strong>the</strong>possible applications of this wide range of technologies especially in<strong>the</strong> household sector, higher investment costs were assumed forhightech regions of <strong>the</strong> OECD, <strong>the</strong> Eastern European Economies andMiddle East. Sunny regions with low space heat demand as well asdeveloping regions are covered with very low investment costs.Economy of scales apply to heating plants above 500kW, withinvestment cost between 400-700 €/kW. Heating plants can deliverprocess heat or provide whole neighbourhoods with heat.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKscenarios for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply | ASSUMPTIONS FOR FOSSIL FUEL PHASE OUT44.10 assumptions for fossil fuel phase outMore than 80% of <strong>the</strong> current <strong>energy</strong> supply is based on fossilfuels. Oil dominates <strong>the</strong> entire transport sector; oil and gas makeup <strong>the</strong> heating sector and coal is <strong>the</strong> most-used fuel for power.Each sector has different renewable <strong>energy</strong> and <strong>energy</strong> efficiencytechnologies combinations which depend on <strong>the</strong> locally availableresources, infrastructure and to some extent, lifestyle. Therenewable <strong>energy</strong> technology pathways used in this scenario arebased on currently available “off-<strong>the</strong>-shelf” technologies, marketsituations and market projections developed from renewableindustry associations such as <strong>the</strong> Global Wind Energy Council, <strong>the</strong>European Photovoltaic Industry Association and <strong>the</strong> EuropeanRenewable Energy Council, <strong>the</strong> DLR and Greenpeace International.In line with this modelling, <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution aims to mapout a clear pathway to phase-out oil and gas in <strong>the</strong> long term. Thispathway has been identified on <strong>the</strong> basis of a detailed analysis of<strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> conventional oil resources, current infrastructure ofthose industries, <strong>the</strong> estimated production capacities of existing oilwells in <strong>the</strong> light of projected production decline rates and <strong>the</strong>investment plans known by end 2011. Those remaining fossil fuelresources between 2012 and 2050 form <strong>the</strong> oil pathway so no newdeep sea and Arctic oil exploration, no oil shale and tar sandmining are required for two reasons:figure 4.4: <strong>global</strong> oil production 1950 to 2011and projection till 2050• First and foremost, to limit carbon emissions to save <strong>the</strong> climate.• Second, financial resources must flow from 2012 onwards in<strong>the</strong> development of new and larger markets for renewable<strong>energy</strong> technologies and <strong>energy</strong> efficiency to avoid “locking-in”new fossil fuel infrastructure.4.10.1 oil – production decline assumptionsFigure 4.4 shows <strong>the</strong> remaining production capacities with anannual production decline between 2.5% and 5% and <strong>the</strong>additional production capacities assuming all new projectsplanned for 2012 to 2020 will go ahead. Even with new projects,<strong>the</strong> amount of remaining conventional oil is very limited and<strong>the</strong>refore a transition towards a low oil demand pattern isessential.4.10.2 coal – production decline assumptionsWhile <strong>the</strong>re is an urgent need for a transition away from oil andgas to avoid “locking-in” investments in new production wells, <strong>the</strong>climate is <strong>the</strong> clearly limiting factor for <strong>the</strong> coal resource, not itsavailability. All existing coal mines – even without new expansionsof mines – could produce more coal, but its burning puts <strong>the</strong>world on a catastrophic climate change pathway.figure 4.5: coal scenario: base decline of 2% per yearand new projects200,000180,000160,000140,000120,000100,00080,00060,00040,00020,000PJ/a 0E[R] OIL DEMAND180,000160,000140,000120,000100,00080,00060,00040,00020,000PJ/a 0E[R] COAL DEMAND1950196019701980199020002010202020302040205019501960197019801990200020102020203020402050NEW PROJECTS BITUMENNEW PROJECTS OFFSHORENEW PROJECTS ONSHORE•PRODUCTION DECLINE UNCERTAINTYGLOBAL PRODUCTION2000NEW PROJECTSFSUAFRICALATIN AMERICANON OECD ASIAINDIACHINAOECD ASIA OCEANIA•OECD EUROPEOECD NORTH AMERICA68

This section provides an overview of <strong>the</strong>projections between 2000 and 2011 and compares <strong>the</strong>m withreal market developments and projections of <strong>the</strong> IEA WorldEnergy Outlook – our Reference scenario.4.11.1 <strong>the</strong> development of <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> wind industryGreenpeace and <strong>the</strong> European Wind Energy Association published“Windforce 10” for <strong>the</strong> first time in 1999– a <strong>global</strong> marketprojection for wind turbines until 2030. Since <strong>the</strong>n, an updatedprognosis has been published every second year. Since 2006 <strong>the</strong>report has been renamed to “Global Wind Energy Outlook” witha new partner – <strong>the</strong> Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) – anew umbrella organisation of all regional wind industryassociations. Figure 4.6 shows <strong>the</strong> projections made each yearbetween 2000 and 2010 compared to <strong>the</strong> real market data. Thegraph also includes <strong>the</strong> first two Energy [R]evolution (ER)editions (published in 2007 and 2008) against <strong>the</strong> IEA’s windprojections published in World Energy Outlook (WEO) 2000,2002, 2005 and 2007.The projections from <strong>the</strong> “Wind force 10” and “Windforce 12”were calculated by BTM consultants, Denmark. “Windforce 10”(2001 - 2011) exact projection for <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> wind marketpublished during this time, at 10% below <strong>the</strong> actual marketdevelopment. Also all following editions where around 10%above or below <strong>the</strong> real market. In 2006, <strong>the</strong> new “Global WindEnergy Outlook” had two different scenarios, a moderate and anadvanced wind power market projections calculated by GWECand Greenpeace International. The figures here show only <strong>the</strong>advanced projections, as <strong>the</strong> moderate were too low. However,<strong>the</strong>se very projections were <strong>the</strong> most criticised at <strong>the</strong> time, beingcalled “over ambitious” or even “impossible”.figure 4.6: wind power: short term prognosis vs real market development - <strong>global</strong> cummulative capacity250,000200,000150,000100,0004scenarios for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply | REVIEW: GREENPEACE SCENARIO PROJECTIONS OF THE PAST50,000MW020002001200220032004200520062007200820092010REAL17,40023,90031,10039,43147,62059,09174,05293,820120,291158,864197,637WF 10 (1999)21,51026,90133,37141,78152,71566,92985,407109,428140,656181,252WF 12 (2002)44,02557,30673,90894,660120,600151,728189,081233,905GWEO 2006 (Advanced)153,759GWEO 2008 (Advanced)186,309ER 2007156,149ER 2008163,855ADVANCED ER 2010IEA WEO 2000 (REF)17,40018,91020,42021,93023,44024,95026,46027,97029,48030,99032,500IEA WEO 2002 (REF)31,10034,08837,07540,06343,05046,03849,02552,01355,000IEA WEO 2005 (REF)59,09168,78178,47188,16197,851107,541IEA WEO 2007 (REF)93,820103,767113,713123,66069

In 2000, <strong>the</strong> IEA WEO published aprojections of <strong>global</strong> installed capacity for wind turbines of32,500 MW for 2010. This capacity had been connected to <strong>the</strong>grid by early 2003, only two-and-a-half years later.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKscenarios for a future <strong>energy</strong> supply | REVIEW: GREENPEACE SCENARIO PROJECTIONS OF THE PAST4In contrast to <strong>the</strong> wind projections, all <strong>the</strong> SolarGenerationprojections have been too conservative. The total installedcapacity in 2010 was close to 40,000 MW about 30% higherthan projected in SolarGeneration published ten years earlier.Even SolarGeneration 5, published in 2008, under-estimated <strong>the</strong>possible market growth of photovoltaic in <strong>the</strong> advanced scenario.In contrast, <strong>the</strong> IEA WEO 2000 estimations for 2010 werereached in 2004.figure 4.9: photovoltaic: long term market projects until 20302,000,0001,800,0001,600,0001,400,0001,200,0001,000,000800,000600,000400,000200,000MW 0The long-term projections for solar photovoltaic are moredifficult than for wind because <strong>the</strong> costs have droppedsignificantly faster than projected. For some OECD countries,solar has reached grid parity with fossil fuels in 2012 and o<strong>the</strong>rsolar technologies, such as concentrated solar power plants(CSP), are also headed in that direction. Therefore, futureprojections for solar photovoltaic do not just depend on costimprovements, but also on available storage technologies. Gridintegration can actually be a bottle-neck to solar that is nowexpected much earlier than estimated.2010201520202030SG I 2001SG II 2004SG III 2006SG IV 2007 (Advanced)SG V 2008 (Advanced)SG VI 2010 (Advanced)ER 2007ER 2008ADVANCED ER 201025,68826,51228,42828,86225,44736,62922,69420,60675,600102,400134,752151,486179,44274,325107,640207,000282,350275,700240,641277,524737,173198,897268,789439,2691,271,7731,864,2191,844,937727,816921,3321,330,243IEA WEO 2000 (REF)IEA WEO 2002 (REF)IEA WEO 2005 (REF)IEA WEO 2007 (REF)IEA WEO 2009 (REF)IEA WEO 2010 (REF)IEA WEO 2010 (450ppm)IEA WEO 2011 (REF)IEA WEO 2011 (450ppm)3,4008,0006,4259,62522,87839,67839,67867,30067,3005,50013,00014,35622,94644,45270,33988,839114,150143,6507,60018,00022,28648,54779,878101,000138,000161,000220,00056,00054,62586,055183,723206,000485,000268,000625,00072

This report showed <strong>the</strong> latest and mostcomprehensive analysis of scientific reports on all renewable<strong>energy</strong> resources and <strong>global</strong> scientifically accepted <strong>energy</strong>scenarios. The Energy [R]evolution was among three scenarioschosen as an indicative scenario for an ambitious renewable<strong>energy</strong> pathway. The following summarises <strong>the</strong> IPCC’s view.Four future pathways, from <strong>the</strong> following models wereassessed intensively:• International Energy Agency World Energy Outlook 2009,(IEA WEO 2009)• Greenpeace Energy [R]evolution 2010, (ER 2010)• (ReMIND-RECIPE)• (MiniCam EMF 22)The World Energy Outlook of <strong>the</strong> International Energy Agency wasused as an example baseline scenario (least amount of developmentof renewable <strong>energy</strong>) and <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r three treated as “mitigationscenarios”, to address climate change risks. The four scenariosprovide substantial additional information on a number of technicaldetails, represent a range of underlying assumptions and followdifferent methodologies. They provide different renewable <strong>energy</strong>deployment paths, including Greenpeace’s “optimistic applicationpath for renewable <strong>energy</strong> assuming that . . . <strong>the</strong> current highdynamic (increase rates) in <strong>the</strong> sector can be maintained”.The IPCC notes that scenario results are determined partly byassumptions, but also might depend on <strong>the</strong> underlying modellingarchitecture and model specific restrictions. The scenariosanalysed use different modelling architectures, demandprojections and technology portfolios for <strong>the</strong> supply side. The fullresults are provided in Table 4.15, but in summary:• The IEA baseline has a high demand projection with lowrenewable <strong>energy</strong> development.• ReMind-RECIPE, MiniCam EMF 22 scenarios portrays a highdemand expectation and significant increase of renewable <strong>energy</strong>is combined with <strong>the</strong> possibility to employ CCS and nuclear.• The ER 2010 relies on and low demand (due to a significantincrease of <strong>energy</strong> efficiency) combined with high renewable<strong>energy</strong> deployment, no CCS employment and a <strong>global</strong> nuclearphase-out by 2045.Both population increase and GDP development are majordriving forces on future <strong>energy</strong> demand and <strong>the</strong>refore at leastindirectly determining <strong>the</strong> resulting shares of renewable <strong>energy</strong>.The IPCC analysis shows which models use assumptions based onoutside inputs and what results are generated from within <strong>the</strong>models. All scenarios take a 50% increase of <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong>population into account on baseline 2009. Regards grossdomestic product (GDP), all assume or calculate a significantincrease in terms of <strong>the</strong> GDP. The IEA WEO 2009 and <strong>the</strong> ER2010 model uses forecasts of International Monetary Fund (IMF2009) and <strong>the</strong> Organisation of Economic Co-Operation andDevelopment (OECD) as inputs to project GSP.

AWORKER WORKING ON TOP OF THE WIND TURBINE.© GP/ZENIT/LANGROCKThe development of future <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> demand is determinedby three key factors:• Population development: <strong>the</strong> number of people consuming<strong>energy</strong> or using <strong>energy</strong> services.• Economic development, for which Gross Domestic Product(GDP) is <strong>the</strong> most commonly used indicator: in general anincrease in GDP triggers an increase in <strong>energy</strong> demand.• Energy intensity: how much <strong>energy</strong> is required to producea unit of GDP.The Reference scenario and <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario arebased on <strong>the</strong> same projections of population and economicdevelopment. The future development of <strong>energy</strong> intensity, however,differs between <strong>the</strong> reference and <strong>the</strong> alternative case, taking intoaccount <strong>the</strong> measures to increase <strong>energy</strong> efficiency under <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario.<strong>global</strong>: projection of <strong>energy</strong> intensityAn increase in economic activity and a growing population does notnecessarily have to result in an equivalent increase in <strong>energy</strong>demand. There is still a large potential for exploiting <strong>energy</strong>efficiency measures. Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario we assume that<strong>energy</strong> intensity will be reduced by 1.7% on average per year,leading to a reduction in final <strong>energy</strong> demand per unit of GDP ofabout 50% between 2009 and 2050. Under <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario it is assumed that active policy and technicalsupport for <strong>energy</strong> efficiency measures will lead to an even higherreduction in <strong>energy</strong> intensity of almost 70% until 2050.<strong>global</strong>: development of <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> demandCombining <strong>the</strong> projections on population development, GDPgrowth and <strong>energy</strong> intensity results in future developmentpathways for <strong>the</strong> world’s <strong>energy</strong> demand. These are shown inFigure 5.2 for <strong>the</strong> Reference and <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario. Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, total primary <strong>energy</strong>demand increases by 61% from 499,024 PJ/a in 2009 to about805,600 PJ/a in 2050. In <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario,demand increases by 10% until 2020 and decreases by 4%afterwards and it is expected by 2050 to reach 481,050 PJ/a.The accelerated increase in <strong>energy</strong> efficiency, which is a crucialprerequisite for achieving a sufficiently large share of renewable<strong>energy</strong> sources in our <strong>energy</strong> supply, is beneficial not only for <strong>the</strong>environment but also for economics. Taking into account <strong>the</strong> fulllifecycle costs, in most cases <strong>the</strong> implementation of <strong>energy</strong>efficiency measures saves money compared to creating anadditional <strong>energy</strong> supply. A dedicated <strong>energy</strong> efficiency strategy<strong>the</strong>refore helps to compensate in part for <strong>the</strong> additional costsrequired during <strong>the</strong> market introduction phase of renewable<strong>energy</strong> technologies.5key results | GLOBAL - PROJECTION OF ENERGY INTENSITY & ENERGY DEMANDfigure 5.1: <strong>global</strong>: final <strong>energy</strong> intensity under <strong>the</strong> reference scenario and <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution scenario4.03.53.02.52.01.51.50.5MJ/$GDP 0.02010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045 2050• REFERENCEENERGY [R]EVOLUTION75

Deployment of solararchitecture in both residential and commercial buildings willhelp to curb <strong>the</strong> growing demand for active air conditioning.Efficiency gains in <strong>the</strong> heat supply sector are even larger than in<strong>the</strong> electricity sector. Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario,final demand for heat supply can eventually be reducedsignificantly (see Figure 5.5). Compared to <strong>the</strong> Referencescenario, consumption equivalent to 46,500 PJ/a is avoidedthrough efficiency measures by 2050.

This difference will be less than $ 0.6 cent/kWh up to2020. Any increase in fossil fuel prices beyond <strong>the</strong> projectiongiven in table 4.3, however, will reduce <strong>the</strong> gap. Because of <strong>the</strong>lower CO2 intensity of electricity generation, electricity generationcosts will become economically favourable under <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario and by 2050 costs will be$ 7.9 cents/kWh below those in <strong>the</strong> Reference version.Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, <strong>the</strong> unchecked growth in demand,an increase in fossil fuel prices and <strong>the</strong> cost of CO2 emissionsresult in total electricity supply costs rising from today’s$ 2,364 billion per year to about $ 8,830 billion in 2050. Figure5.7 shows that <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario not onlycomplies with CO2 reduction targets but also helps to stabilise<strong>energy</strong> costs. Increasing <strong>energy</strong> efficiency and shifting <strong>energy</strong>supply to enewables lead to long term costs for electricity supplythat are 22% lower in 2050 than in <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario(including estimated costs for efficiency measures up to$ 4 ct/kWh).figure 5.7: <strong>global</strong>: total electricity supply costs andspecific electricity generation costs under two scenariosBn$/a10,0009,0008,0007,0006,0005,0004,0003,0002,0001,00002009 2015 2020 2030 2040 2050ct/kWh181614121086420<strong>global</strong>: future investments in <strong>the</strong> power sectorThe overall <strong>global</strong> level of investment required in new powerplants up to 2030 will be in <strong>the</strong> region of $ 11.5 trillion in <strong>the</strong>Reference case and $ 20.1 trillion in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution. Amajor driving force for investment in new generation capacity willbe <strong>the</strong> replacement of <strong>the</strong> ageing fleet of power plants in OECDcountries and <strong>the</strong> build up of new power plants in developingcountries. Utilities and new players such as project developersand independent power producers base <strong>the</strong>ir technology choiceson current and future equipment costs and national <strong>energy</strong>policies, in particular market liberalisation, renewable <strong>energy</strong> andCO2 reduction targets. Within Europe, <strong>the</strong> EU emissions tradingscheme could have a major impact on whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> majority ofinvestment goes into fossil fueled power plants or renewable<strong>energy</strong> and co-generation. In developing countries, internationalfinancial institutions will play a major role in future technologychoices, as well as whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> investment costs for renewable<strong>energy</strong> become competitive with conventional power plants.In regions with a good wind regime, for example, wind farms canalready produce electricity at <strong>the</strong> same cost levels as coal or gaspower plants. While solar photovoltaics already reach ‘grid parity’in many industrialized countries. It would require about$ 50,400 billion in investment in <strong>the</strong> power sector for <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario to become reality (includinginvestments for replacement after <strong>the</strong> economic lifetime of <strong>the</strong>plants) - approximately $ 714 billion annual more than in <strong>the</strong>Reference scenario.Under <strong>the</strong> Reference version, <strong>the</strong> levels of investment inconventional power plants add up to almost 49% whileapproximately 51% would be invested in renewable <strong>energy</strong> andcogeneration (CHP) until 2050. Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> investment would shift by 95% towardsrenewables and cogeneration. Until 2030, <strong>the</strong> fossil fuel share ofpower sector investment would be focused mainly on CHP plants.The average annual investment in <strong>the</strong> power sector under <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario between today and 2050 would be$ 1,260 billion.5key results | GLOBAL - ELECTRICITY GENERATION & FUTURE INVESTMENTSSPEC.

These are shown inFigure 5.31 for both <strong>the</strong> Reference and <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario. Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, total primary <strong>energy</strong>demand almost doubles from <strong>the</strong> current 22,050 PJ/a to 40,740PJ/a in 2050. In <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario a smallerincrease of 34% compared to current consumption is expected,reaching 29,500 PJ/a by 2050.Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, electricity demand isexpected to increase disproportionately, with households andservices <strong>the</strong> main sources for growing consumption. This is due towider access to <strong>energy</strong> services especially in <strong>the</strong> developingregions within Latin America (see Figure 5.32). With <strong>the</strong>exploitation of efficiency measures, however an even higherincrease can be avoided, leading to an electricity demand ofaround 2030 TWh/a in 2050.Compared to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, efficiency measures in <strong>the</strong>industry, residential and service sectors avoid <strong>the</strong> generation ofabout 605 TWh/a. This reduction can be achieved in particular byintroducing highly efficient electronic devices. Employment ofsolar architecture in both residential and commercial buildingswill help to curb <strong>the</strong> growing demand for air-conditioning.Efficiency gains in <strong>the</strong> heat supply sector are even larger. Under<strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, final <strong>energy</strong> demand for heatsupply eventually even stagnates (see Figure 5.34). Compared to<strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, consumption equivalent to 2,370 PJ/a isavoided through efficiency gains by 2050. In <strong>the</strong> transport sector,it is assumed under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario that <strong>energy</strong>demand will peak around 2020 and will drop back to 5,400 PJ/aby 2050, saving 51% compared to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario.figure 5.31: latin america: total final <strong>energy</strong> demand by sector under <strong>the</strong> reference scenarioand <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution scenario (‘EFFICIENCY’ = REDUCTION COMPARED TO THE REFERENCE SCENARIO)32,00028,00024,00020,00016,00012,0008,0004,000PJ/a 0REF E[R] REF E[R] REF E[R] REF E[R] REF E[R] REF E[R]‘EFFICIENCY’OTHER SECTORS• INDUSTRYTRANSPORT2009 2015 2020 2030 2040 205098

This difference will be less than $ 1.3 cent/kWh up to 2020,however. Because of <strong>the</strong> lower CO2 intensity of electricity generation,electricity generation costs will become economically favourable under<strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario and by 2050 costs will be $ 6.2cents/kWh below those in <strong>the</strong> Reference version.Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, <strong>the</strong> unchecked growth in demand, anincrease in fossil fuel prices and <strong>the</strong> cost of CO2 emissions result intotal electricity supply costs rising from today’s $ 426 billion per yearto more than $ 832 billion in 2050. Figure 5.49 shows that <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario not only complies with OECD Europe’sCO2 reduction targets but also helps to stabilise <strong>energy</strong> costs.Increasing <strong>energy</strong> efficiency and shifting <strong>energy</strong> supply to renewableslead to long term costs for electricity supply that are 18% lower thanin <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, although costs for efficiency measures of upto $ 4 cents/kWh are taken into account.Reference version, <strong>the</strong> levels of investment in conventional powerplants add up to almost 35% while approximately 65% would beinvested in renewable <strong>energy</strong> and cogeneration (CHP) until 2050.Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, however, OECD Europewould shift almost 96% of <strong>the</strong> entire investment towardsrenewables and cogeneration. Until 2030, <strong>the</strong> fossil fuel share ofpower sector investment would be focused mainly on CHP plants.The average annual investment in <strong>the</strong> power sector under <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario between today and 2050 would beapproximately $ 135 billion.Because renewable <strong>energy</strong> has no fuel costs, however, <strong>the</strong> fuelcost savings in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario reach a total of$ 4,760 billion up to 2050, or $ 119 billion per year.

Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, totalprimary <strong>energy</strong> demand in Africa increases by 104% from <strong>the</strong>current 27,681 PJ/a to 56,500 PJ/a in 2050. In <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario, by contrast, <strong>energy</strong> demand increases by53% compared to current consumption and it is expected by2050 to reach 42,300 PJ/a.Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, electricity demand in <strong>the</strong>industrial, residential, and service sectors is expected to increasedisproportionately (see Figure 5.58). With <strong>the</strong> exploitation ofefficiency measures, however, an even higher increase can beavoided, leading to 2040 TWh/a in 2050. Compared to <strong>the</strong>Reference case, efficiency measures in industry and o<strong>the</strong>r sectorsavoid <strong>the</strong> generation of about 500 TWh/a or 22%. In contrast,electricity consumption in <strong>the</strong> transport sector will growsignificantly, as <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario introduceselectric trains and public transport as well as efficient electricvehicles faster than <strong>the</strong> Reference case. Fossil fuels for industrialprocess heat generation are also phased out more quickly andreplaced by electric heat pumps and hydrogen.Efficiency gains in <strong>the</strong> heat supply sector are larger than in <strong>the</strong>electricity sector. Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, finaldemand for heat supply can even be reduced significantly (seeFigure 5.60). Compared to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, consumptionequivalent to 4,820 PJ/a is avoided through efficiency measuresby 2050.In <strong>the</strong> transport sector it is assumed under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario that <strong>energy</strong> demand will increase from 3,301 PJ/a in2009 to 4,440 PJ/a by 2050. However this still saves 37%compared to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario.

Increasing <strong>energy</strong> efficiency and shifting<strong>energy</strong> supply to renewables lead to long term costs for electricitysupply that are 31% lower than in <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario,including estimated costs for efficiency measures.figure 5.62: africa: total electricity supply costsand specific electricity generation costs undertwo scenariosUnder <strong>the</strong> Reference version, <strong>the</strong> levels of investment inconventional power plants add up to almost 40% whileapproximately 60% would be invested in renewable <strong>energy</strong> andcogeneration (CHP) until 2050. Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario, however, Africa would shift almost 97% of <strong>the</strong> entireinvestment towards renewables and cogeneration.

This difference will be less than $ 1.5 cent/kWh up to2020, however. Because of high prices for conventional fuels and <strong>the</strong>lower CO2 intensity of electricity generation, electricity generationcosts will become even more economically favourable under <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario and by 2050 costs will be $ 12.9cents/kWh below those in <strong>the</strong> Reference version.Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, unchecked growthin demand, an increase in fossil fuel prices and <strong>the</strong> cost of CO2emissions result in total electricity supply costs rising from today’s$ 282 billion per year to more than $ 830 billion in 2050. Figure5.88 shows that <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario not onlycomplies with Eastern Europe/Eurasia’s CO2 reduction targets, butalso helps to stabilise <strong>energy</strong> costs and relieve <strong>the</strong> economicpressure on society. Increasing <strong>energy</strong> efficiency and shifting <strong>energy</strong>supply to renewables lead to long term costs for electricity supplythat are more than 55% lower than in <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario.approximately $ 1,961 billion (or annually $ 49 billion) morethan in <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario ($ 1,424 billion). Under <strong>the</strong>Reference version, <strong>the</strong> levels of investment in conventional powerplants add up to almost 48% while approximately 52% would beinvested in renewable <strong>energy</strong> and cogeneration (CHP) until 2050.Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, however, EasternEurope/Eurasia would shift almost 97% of <strong>the</strong> entire investmenttowards renewables and cogeneration. Until 2030, <strong>the</strong> fossil fuelshare of power sector investment would be focused mainly onCHP plants. The average annual investment in <strong>the</strong> power sectorunder <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario between today and 2050would be approximately $ 85 billion.Because renewable <strong>energy</strong> has no fuel costs, however, <strong>the</strong> fuelcost savings in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario reach a total of$ 7,705 billion up to 2050, or $ 193 billion per year.

Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, totalprimary <strong>energy</strong> demand in China increases by 89% from <strong>the</strong>current 96,000 PJ/a to around 181,300 PJ/a in 2050. In <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario, by contrast, <strong>energy</strong> demandincreases by 9% compared to current consumption and it isexpected by 2050 to reach 104,500 PJ/a.Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, electricity demand in <strong>the</strong>industrial, residential, and service sectors is expected to increasedisproportionately (see Figure 5.123). With <strong>the</strong> exploitation ofefficiency measures, however, an even higher increase can beavoided, leading to 10,040 TWh/a in 2050. Compared to <strong>the</strong>Reference case, efficiency measures in industry and o<strong>the</strong>r sectorsavoid <strong>the</strong> generation of about 3,320 TWh/a or 29%. In contrast,electricity consumption in <strong>the</strong> transport sector will growsignificantly, as <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario introduceselectric trains and public transport as well as efficient electricvehicles faster than <strong>the</strong> Reference case. Fossil fuels for industrialprocess heat generation are also phased out more quickly andreplaced by electric geo<strong>the</strong>rmal heat pumps and hydrogen.Efficiency gains in <strong>the</strong> heat supply sector are larger than in <strong>the</strong>electricity sector. Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, finaldemand for heat supply can even be reduced significantly (seeFigure 5.125). Compared to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, consumptionequivalent to 7200 PJ/a is avoided through efficiency measuresby 2050.In <strong>the</strong> transport sector it is assumed under <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario that <strong>energy</strong> demand will increaseconsiderably, from 6,816 PJ/a in 2009 to 12,600 PJ/a by 2050.However this still saves 56% compared to <strong>the</strong> Referencescenario.

However, this difference will be less than0.4 cent/kWh up to 2020, if <strong>the</strong> price pathway for fossil fuelsdefined in Chapter 4 is applied. Because of <strong>the</strong> lower CO2intensity of electricity generation, electricity generation costs willbecome economically favourable under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario and by 2050 costs will be $ 6.3 cents/kWh below thosein <strong>the</strong> Reference version.Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, by contrast, unchecked growth indemand, an increase in fossil fuel prices and <strong>the</strong> cost of CO2emissions result in total electricity supply costs rising fromtoday’s $ 366 billion per year to more than $ 2,096 billion in2050. Figure 5.127 shows that <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenarionot only complies with China’s CO2 reduction targets but alsohelps to stabilise <strong>energy</strong> costs. Increasing <strong>energy</strong> efficiency andshifting <strong>energy</strong> supply to renewables lead to long term costs forelectricity supply that are 24% lower than in <strong>the</strong> Referencescenario, including estimated costs for efficiency measures.in <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario ($ 5,658 billion). Under <strong>the</strong> Referenceversion, <strong>the</strong> levels of investment in conventional power plants addup to almost 49% while approximately 51% would be invested inrenewable <strong>energy</strong> and cogeneration (CHP) until 2050.Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, however, China wouldshift almost 95% of <strong>the</strong> entire investment towards renewablesand cogeneration.

This difference willbe less than $ 2.3 cent/kWh up to 2030, however. Because of <strong>the</strong>lower CO2 intensity of electricity generation, electricity generationcosts will become economically favourable under <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario and by 2050 costs will be $ 7.2 cents/kWhbelow those in <strong>the</strong> Reference version.Under <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, <strong>the</strong> unchecked growth in demand, anincrease in fossil fuel prices and <strong>the</strong> cost of CO2 emissions result intotal electricity supply costs rising from today’s $ 168 billion peryear to more than $ 436 billion in 2050. Figure 5.140 shows that<strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario not only complies with OECD AsiaOceania’s CO2 reduction targets but also helps to stabilise <strong>energy</strong>costs. Increasing <strong>energy</strong> efficiency and shifting <strong>energy</strong> supply torenewables lead to long term costs for electricity supply that are17% lower in 2050 than in <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario.figure 5.140: oecd asia oceania: total electricity supplycosts and specific electricity generation costsunder two scenarios$ 36 billion annually more than in <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario($ 1,475 billion). Under <strong>the</strong> Reference version, <strong>the</strong> levels ofinvestment in conventional power plants add up to almost 67%while approximately 33% would be invested in renewable <strong>energy</strong>and cogeneration (CHP) until 2050.Under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, however, OECD AsiaOceania would shift almost 90% of <strong>the</strong> entire investment towardsrenewables and cogeneration. Until 2030, <strong>the</strong> fossil fuel share ofpower sector investment would be focused mainly on CHP plants.The average annual investment in <strong>the</strong> power sector under <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario between today and 2050 would beapproximately $ 73 billion.Because renewable <strong>energy</strong> except biomasss has no fuel costs, <strong>the</strong>fuel cost savings in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario reached atotal of $ 1,320 billion up to 2050, or $ 33 billion per year.

This section provides a simplified overview of how <strong>the</strong>calculations were performed. A detailed methodology is alsoavailable. 68 Chapters 2 and 3 contain all <strong>the</strong> data on how <strong>the</strong>scenarios were developed. The calculations were made usingconservative assumptions wherever possible. The main inputs to<strong>the</strong> calculations are:For each scenario, namely <strong>the</strong> Reference (business as usual) andEnergy [R]evolution scenario:• The amount of electrical and heating capacity that will beinstalled each year for each technology,• The primary <strong>energy</strong> demand for coal, gas, and biomass fuels in<strong>the</strong> electricity and heating sectors.• The amount of electricity generated per year from nuclear, oil,and diesel.For each technology:• ‘Employment factors’, or <strong>the</strong> number of jobs per unit ofcapacity, separated into manufacturing, construction, operationand maintenance, and per unit of primary <strong>energy</strong> for fuel supply.• For <strong>the</strong> 2020 and 2030 calculations, a ‘decline factor’ for eachtechnology which reduces <strong>the</strong> employment factors by a certainpercentage per year. This reflects <strong>the</strong> fact that employment perunit falls as technology prices fall.For each region:• The percentage of local manufacturing and domestic fuelproduction in each region, in order to calculate <strong>the</strong> proportion ofmanufacturing and fuel production jobs which occur in <strong>the</strong> region.• The percentage of world trade which originates in each region forcoal and gas fuels, and renewable <strong>energy</strong> traded components.• A “regional job multiplier”, which indicates how labourintensiveeconomic activity is in that region compared to <strong>the</strong>OECD. This is used to adjust OECD employment factors wherelocal data is not available.The electrical capacity increase and <strong>energy</strong> use figures from eachscenario are multiplied by <strong>the</strong> employment factors for each of <strong>the</strong>technologies, and <strong>the</strong>n adjusted for regional labour intensity and<strong>the</strong> proportion of fuel or manufacturing which occurs locally. Thecalculation is summarised in <strong>the</strong> Table 6.1.A range of data sources are used for <strong>the</strong> model inputs, including <strong>the</strong>International Energy Agency, US Energy InformationAdministration, US National Renewable Energy Laboratory,International Labour Organisation, industry associations for wind,geo<strong>the</strong>rmal, solar, nuclear and gas, census data from Australia,Canada, and India, academic literature, and <strong>the</strong> ISF’s own research.These calculations only take into account direct employment, forexample <strong>the</strong> construction team needed to build a new wind farm.They do not cover indirect employment, for example <strong>the</strong> extraservices provided in a town to accommodate construction teams.The calculations do not include jobs in <strong>energy</strong> efficiency, although<strong>the</strong>se are likely to be substantial, as <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionleads to a 40% drop in primary <strong>energy</strong> demand overall.6future employment | METHODOLOGY AND ASSUMPTIONStable 6.1: methodology overviewMANUFACTURING(FOR LOCAL USE)MANUFACTURING(FOR EXPORT)CONSTRUCTIONOPERATION &=MAINTENANCEFUEL SUPPLY=(NUCLEAR)FUEL SUPPLY=(COAL, GAS & BIOMASS)===MW INSTALLEDPER YEAR IN REGIONMW EXPORTEDPER YEARMW INSTALLEDPER YEARCUMULATIVECAPACITYELECTRICITYGENERATIONPRIMARY ENERGYDEMAND + EXPORTS××××××MANUFACTURINGEMPLOYMENT FACTORMANUFACTURINGEMPLOYMENT FACTORCONSTRUCTIONEMPLOYMENT FACTORO&MEMPLOYMENT FACTORFUEL EMPLOYMENTFACTORFUEL EMPLOYMENTFACTOR (ALWAYSREGIONAL FOR COAL)××××××REGIONAL JOBMULTIPLIERREGIONAL JOBMULTIPLIERREGIONAL JOBMULTIPLIERREGIONAL JOBMULTIPLIERREGIONAL JOBMULTIPLIERREGIONAL JOBMULTIPLIER××% OF LOCALMANUFACTURING% OF LOCALPRODUCTIONHEAT SUPPLY=MW INSTALLEDPER YEAR×EMPLOYMENT FACTORFOR HEAT×REGIONAL JOBMULTIPLIERJOBS IN REGION=MANUFACTURING+CONSTRUCTION+OPERATION &MAINTENANCE (O&M)+FUEL SUPPLYEMPLOYMENT FACTORAT 2020 OR 2030=(NUMBER OF YEARS AFTER 2010)EMPLOYMENT FACTOR ×TECHNOLOGY DECLINE FACTORreference68 JAY RUTOVITZ AND STEPHEN HARRIS. 2012.CALCULATING GLOBAL ENERGY SECTOR JOBS: 2012METHODOLOGY.189


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOKfuture employment | EMPLOYMENT FACTORS6Several additional aspects of <strong>energy</strong> employment have beenincluded which were not calculated in previous Energy[R]evolution reports. Employment in nuclear decommissioninghas been calculated, and a partial estimate of employment in <strong>the</strong>heat sector is included.The large number of assumptions required to make calculationsmean that employment numbers are indicative only, especially forregions where little data exists. However, within <strong>the</strong> limits of dataavailability, <strong>the</strong> figures presented are representative ofemployment levels under <strong>the</strong> two scenarios.6.2 employment factors“Employment factors” are used to calculate how many jobs arerequired per unit of electrical or heating capacity, or per unit offuel. They take into account jobs in manufacturing, construction,operation and maintenance and fuel. Table 6.2 lists <strong>the</strong>employment factors used in <strong>the</strong> calculations. These factors areusually from OECD countries, as this is where <strong>the</strong>re is most data,although local factors are used wherever possible. For jobcalculations in non OECD regions, a regional adjustment is usedwhere a local factor is not available.Employment factors were derived with regional detail for coalmining, because coal is currently so dominant in <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong>supply, and because employment per ton varies enormously byregion. In Australia, for example, coal is extracted at an averageof 13,800 tons per person per year using highly mechanisedprocesses while in Europe <strong>the</strong> average coal miner is responsiblefor only 2,000 tonnes per year. India, China, and Russia haverelatively low productivity at present (700, 900, and 2000 tonsper worker per year respectively).The calculation of employment per PJ in coal mining draws ondata from national statistics, combined with production figuresfrom <strong>the</strong> IEA 69 or o<strong>the</strong>r sources. Data was collected for as manymajor coal producing countries as possible, with data obtainedfor more than 80% of world coal production.In China, India, and Russia, <strong>the</strong> changes in productivity over <strong>the</strong>last 7 to 15 years were used to derive an annual improvementtrend, which has been used to project a reduction in <strong>the</strong>employment factors for coal mining over <strong>the</strong> study period. InChina and Eastern Europe/Eurasia a lower employment factor isalso used for increases in coal consumption, as it is assumed thatexpansion will occur in <strong>the</strong> more efficient mining areas.China is a special case. While average productivity of coal perworker is currently low (700 tons per employee per year) this ischanging. Some new highly mechanised mines opening in Chinahave productivity of 30,000 tons per person per year. 70 It isassumed that any increase in coal production locally will comefrom <strong>the</strong> new type of mine, so <strong>the</strong> lower employment factor isused for additional consumption which is produced domestically.Russia accounts for more than half of <strong>the</strong> total coal productionin Eastern Europe/ Eurasia. Productivity is much higher <strong>the</strong>rethan some o<strong>the</strong>r regions, and is improving year by year. It isassumed that expansion of coal production in <strong>the</strong> region will beat <strong>the</strong> current level of productivity in Russia, and that overallproductivity will continue <strong>the</strong> upward trend of <strong>the</strong> last 20 years.table 6.2: summary of employment factors used in <strong>global</strong> analysis 2012FUELCoalGasNuclearBiomassHydro-largeHydro-smallWind onshoreWind offshorePVGeo<strong>the</strong>rmalSolar <strong>the</strong>rmalOceanGeo<strong>the</strong>rmal - heatSolar - heatNuclear decommissioningCombined heat and powerCONSTRUCTION& INSTALLATIONJob years/MW7.71.714146.0152.57.1116.88.99.0MANUFACTURINGJobs/MW3.51.01.32.91.55.56.1116.93.94.01.0OPERATION &MAINTENANCEJobs/MW0.10.080.31.50.32.40.20.20.30.40.50.32FUEL – PRIMARYENERGY DEMANDJobs/PJregional220.001 jobs per GWh (final <strong>energy</strong> demand)323.0 jobs/ MW (construction and manufacturing7.4 jobs/ MW (construction and manufacturing0.95 jobs per MW decommissionedCHP technologies use <strong>the</strong> factor for <strong>the</strong> technology, i.e. coal, gas, biomass, geo<strong>the</strong>rmal, etc, increased by afactor of 1.5 for O&M only.note For details of sources and derivation of factors please see Rutovitz and Harris, 2012.references69 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY STATISTICS, AVAILABLE FROMHTTP://WWW.IEA.ORG/STATS/INDEX.ASP70 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY. 2007.

The regional multiplier is applied to make <strong>the</strong> jobsper MW more realistic for o<strong>the</strong>r parts of <strong>the</strong> world. In developingcountries it typically means more jobs per unit of electricity becauseof more labour intensive practices. The multipliers change over <strong>the</strong>study period in line with <strong>the</strong> projections for GDP per worker. Thisreflects <strong>the</strong> fact that as prosperity increases, labour intensity tends tofall. The multipliers are shown in Table 6.4.6.3.2 local employment factorsLocal employment factors are used where possible. Region specificfactors are:• Africa: solar heating (factor for total employment), nuclear,and hydro – factor for operations and maintenance, and coal –all factors.• China: solar heating, coal fuel supply.• Eastern Europe/Eurasia: factor for gas and coal fuel supply.• OECD Americas: factor for gas and coal fuel jobs, and forsolar <strong>the</strong>rmal power.• OECD Europe: factor for solar <strong>the</strong>rmal power and for coalfuel supply.• India: factor for solar heating and for coal fuel supply.6.3.3 local manufacturing and fuel productionSome regions do not manufacture <strong>the</strong> equipment needed forinstallation of renewable technologies, for example wind turbines orsolar PV panels. The model takes into account a projection of <strong>the</strong>percentage of renewable technology which is made locally. The jobsin manufacturing components for export are counted in <strong>the</strong> regionwhere <strong>the</strong>y originate. The same applies to coal and gas fuels,because <strong>the</strong>y are traded internationally, so <strong>the</strong> model shows <strong>the</strong>region where <strong>the</strong> jobs are likely to be located.6.3.4 learning adjustments or ‘decline factors’This accounts for <strong>the</strong> projected reduction in <strong>the</strong> cost of renewableover time, as technologies and companies become more efficientand production processes are scaled up. Generally, jobs per MWwould fall in parallel with this trend.table 6.4: regional multipliersWorld averageOECDAfricaChinaEastern Europe/EurasiaIndiaLatin AmericaMiddle eastNon OECD Asia20101.81.04.32.63.03.62.92.92.420151.71.04.21.92.32.82.72.82.120201.61.04.21.51.92.42.62.81.920351.41.04.61.01.41.52.42.51.5note Derived from ILO (2010) Key Indicators of <strong>the</strong> Labour Market, seventh Editionsoftware, with growth in GDP per capita derived from IEA World Energy Outlook 2011.6future employment | REGIONAL ADJUSTMENTStable 6.3: employment factors used for coal fuel supply (MINING AND ASSOCIATED JOBS)World averageOECD North AmericaOECD EuropeOECD Asia OceaniaIndiaChinaAfricaEastern Europe/EurasiaNon OECD AsiaLatin AmericaMiddle eastEMPLOYMENT FACTOR(EXISTING GENERATION)Jobs per PJ233.9403.455681256EMPLOYMENT FACTOR(NEW GENERATION)Jobs per PJ3.9403.4551.41226Use world average as no employment data availableUse world average as no employment data availableUse world average as no employment data availableAVERAGE ANNUAL PRODUCTIVITYINCREASE 2010 - 2030Jobs per PJ5%5.5%4%references71 JAY RUTOVITZ AND STEPHEN HARRIS. 2012.

In <strong>the</strong> Referencescenario coal employment drops by 2.1 million jobs between2015 and 2030, despite generation from coal nearly doubling.Coal employment in 2010 was close to 9 million, so this is inaddition to a loss of 2 million jobs from 2010 to 2015.This is because employment per ton in coal mining is fallingdramtatically as efficiencies increase around <strong>the</strong> world. For example,one worker in <strong>the</strong> new Chinese ‘super mines’ is expected to produce30,000 tons of coal per year, compared to current average productivityacross all mines in China close to 700 tons per year, and averageproductivity per worker in North America close to 12,000 tons.Unsurprisingly, employment in <strong>the</strong> coal sector in <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario falls even more, reflecting a reduction incoal generation from 41% to 19% of all generation, on top of<strong>the</strong> increase in efficiency.6.4.2 employment in gas, oil and dieselEmployment in <strong>the</strong> gas sector stays relatatively stable in <strong>the</strong>Reference scenario, while gas generation increases by 35%. In <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario generation is reduced by 5% between2015 and 2030. Employment in <strong>the</strong> sector also falls, reflectingboth increasing efficiencies and <strong>the</strong> reduced generation.

However,it is too early to claim <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> fossil fuel based powergeneration, because more than 475,000 MW of new coal powerplants were built with embedded cumulative emissions of over 55billion tonnes CO2 over <strong>the</strong>ir technical lifetime.The <strong>global</strong> market volume of renewable energies in 2010 was onaverage, equal <strong>the</strong> total <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> market volume each yearbetween 1970 and 2000. There is a window of opportunity for newrenewable <strong>energy</strong> installations to replace old plants in OECDcountries and for electrification in developing countries. However,<strong>the</strong> window will close within <strong>the</strong> next years without good renewable<strong>energy</strong> policies and legally binding CO2 reduction targets.Between 1970 and 1990, <strong>the</strong> OECD 72 <strong>global</strong> power plant marketwas dominated by countries that electrified <strong>the</strong>ir economies mainlywith coal, gas and hydro power plants. The power sector was in <strong>the</strong>hands of state-owned utilities with regional or nationwide supplymonopolies. The nuclear industry had a relatively short period ofsteady growth between 1970 and <strong>the</strong> mid 1980s - with a peak infigure 7.1: <strong>global</strong> power plant market 1970-20101985, one year before <strong>the</strong> Chernobyl accident - and went intodecline in following years, with no recent signs of growth.Between 1990 and 2000, <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> power plant industry wentthrough a series of changes. While OECD countries began toliberalise <strong>the</strong>ir electricity markets, electricity demand did notmatch previous growth, so fewer new power plants were built.Capital-intensive projects with long payback times, such as coaland nuclear power plants, were unable to get sufficient financialsupport. The decade of gas power plants started.The economies of developing countries, especially in Asia, startedgrowing during <strong>the</strong> 1990s, triggering a new wave of power plantprojects. Similarly to <strong>the</strong> US and Europe, most of <strong>the</strong> newmarkets in <strong>the</strong> ‘tiger states’ of Sou<strong>the</strong>ast Asia partly deregulated<strong>the</strong>ir power sectors. A large number of new power plants in thisregion were built from Independent Power Producer (IPPs), whosell <strong>the</strong> electricity mainly to state-owned utilities. The majority ofnew power plant technology in liberalised power markets isfuelled by gas, except for in China which focused on building newcoal power plants.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK<strong>the</strong> silent <strong>revolution</strong> | THE GLOBAL MARKET SHARES IN THE POWER PLANT MARKET7China: The steady economic growth in China since <strong>the</strong> late 1990s,and <strong>the</strong> growing power demand, led to an explosion of <strong>the</strong> coalpower plant market, especially after 2002. In 2006 <strong>the</strong> markethit <strong>the</strong> peak year for new coal power plants: 88% of <strong>the</strong> newlyinstalled coal power plants worldwide were built in China. At <strong>the</strong>same time, China is trying to take its dirtiest plants offline,between 2006 and 2010, a total of 76,825MW of small coalpower plants were phased out under <strong>the</strong> “11th Five Year”programme. While coal still dominates <strong>the</strong> new added capacity,wind power is rapidly growing as well. Since 2003 <strong>the</strong> windmarket doubled each year and was over 18,000 MW 73 by 2010,49% of <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> wind market. However, coal still dominates <strong>the</strong>power plant market with over 55 GW of new installed capacitiesin 2010 alone. The Chinese government aims to increaseinvestments into renewable <strong>energy</strong> capacity, and during 2009,about $ 25.1 billion (RMB162.7 billion) went to wind and hydropower plants which represents 44% of <strong>the</strong> overall investment innew power plants, for <strong>the</strong> first time larger than that of coal(RMB 149.2billion), and in 2010 <strong>the</strong> figure was US$26 billion(RMB168 billion) – 4.8% more in <strong>the</strong> total investment mixcompared with <strong>the</strong> previous year 2009.7.2 <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> market shares in <strong>the</strong> power plantmarket: renewables gaining groundSince <strong>the</strong> year 2000, <strong>the</strong> wind power market gained a growingmarket share within <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> power plant market. Initially onlya handful of countries, namely Germany, Denmark and Spain,dominated <strong>the</strong> wind market, but <strong>the</strong> wind industry now hasprojects in over 70 countries around <strong>the</strong> world. Following <strong>the</strong>example of <strong>the</strong> wind industry, <strong>the</strong> solar photovoltaic industryexperienced an equal growth since 2005. Between 2000 and2010, 26% of all new power plants worldwide were renewablepowered– mainly wind – and 42% run on gas. So, two-thirds ofall new power plants installed <strong>global</strong>ly are gas power plants andrenewable, with close to one-third as coal. Nuclear remainsirrelevant on a <strong>global</strong> scale with just 2% of <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> marketshare. About 430,000 MW of new renewable <strong>energy</strong> capacityhas been installed over <strong>the</strong> last decade, while 475,000 MW ofnew coal, with embedded cumulative emissions of more than 55bn tonnes CO2 over <strong>the</strong>ir technical lifetime, came online – 78% or375,000 MW in China.The <strong>energy</strong> <strong>revolution</strong> towards renewables and gas, away fromcoal and nuclear, has already started on a <strong>global</strong> level. This pictureis even clearer when we look into <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> market sharesexcluding China, <strong>the</strong> only country with a massive expansion ofcoal. About 28% of all new power plants have been renewablesand 60% have been gas power plants (88% in total). Coal gaineda market share of only 10% <strong>global</strong>ly, excluding China. Between2000 and 2010, China has added over 350,000 MW of new coalcapacity: twice as much as <strong>the</strong> entire coal capacity of <strong>the</strong> EU.However China has recently kick-started its wind market, andsolar photovoltaics is expected to follow in <strong>the</strong> years to come.202reference73 WHILE THE OFFICIAL STATISTIC OF THE GLOBAL AND CHINESE WIND INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONS(GWEC/CREIA) ADDS UP TO 18,900 MW FOR 2010, THE NATIONAL ENERGY BUREAU SPEAKS ABOUT 13,999MW. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SOURCES AS DUE TO THE TIME OF GRID CONNECTION, AS SOME TURBINESHAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN THE LAST MONTHS OF 2010, BUT HAVE BEEN CONNECTED TO THE GRID IN 2011.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK<strong>the</strong> silent <strong>revolution</strong> | THE GLOBAL RENEWABLE ENERGY MARKET77.3 <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> renewable <strong>energy</strong> marketThe renewable <strong>energy</strong> sector has been growing substantially over<strong>the</strong> last 10 years. In 2011, <strong>the</strong> increases in <strong>the</strong> installation ratesof both wind and solar power were particularly impressive. Thetotal amount of renewable <strong>energy</strong> installed worldwide is reliablytracked by <strong>the</strong> Renewable Energy Policy Network for <strong>the</strong> 21stCentury (REN21). Its latest <strong>global</strong> status report (2012) showshow <strong>the</strong> technologies have grown. The following text has beentaken from <strong>the</strong> Renewables 2012 – Global Status Report–published in June 2012 with <strong>the</strong> permit of REN 21 and is ashortened version of <strong>the</strong> executive summary:Renewable Energy Growth in All End-Use SectorsRenewable <strong>energy</strong> sources have grown to supply an estimated16.7% of <strong>global</strong> final <strong>energy</strong> consumption in 2010. Of this total,modern renewable <strong>energy</strong> accounted for an estimated 8.2%, ashare that has increased in recent years, while <strong>the</strong> share fromtraditional biomass has declined slightly to an estimated 8.5%.During 2011, modern renewables continued to grow strongly inall end-use sectors: power, heating and cooling, and transport.In <strong>the</strong> power sector, renewables accounted for almost half of <strong>the</strong>estimated 208 gigawatts (GW) of electric capacity added<strong>global</strong>ly during 2011. Wind and solar photovoltaics (PV)accounted for almost 40% and 30% of new renewable capacity,respectively, followed by hydropower (nearly 25%). By <strong>the</strong> end of2011, total renewable power capacity worldwide exceeded 1,360GW, up 8% over 2010; renewables comprised more than 25% oftotal <strong>global</strong> power-generating capacity (estimated at 5,360 GWin 2011) and supplied an estimated 20.3% of <strong>global</strong> electricity.Non-hydropower renewables exceeded 390 GW, a 24% capacityincrease over 2010.The heating and cooling sector offers an immense yet mostlyuntapped potential for renewable <strong>energy</strong> deployment. Heat frombiomass, solar, and geo<strong>the</strong>rmal sources already represents asignificant portion of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> derived from renewables, and <strong>the</strong>sector is slowly evolving as countries (particularly in <strong>the</strong>European Union) are starting to enact supporting policies and totrack <strong>the</strong> share of heat derived from renewable sources. Trends in<strong>the</strong> heating (and cooling) sector include an increase in systemsize, expanding use of combined heat and power (CHP), <strong>the</strong>feeding of renewable heating and cooling into district networks,and <strong>the</strong> use of renewable heat for industrial purposes.Renewable <strong>energy</strong> is used in <strong>the</strong> transport sector in <strong>the</strong> form ofgaseous and liquid biofuels; liquid biofuels provided about 3% of<strong>global</strong> road transport fuels in 2011, more than any o<strong>the</strong>rrenewable <strong>energy</strong> source in <strong>the</strong> transport sector. Electricity powerstrains, subways, and a small but growing number of passengercars and motorised cycles, and <strong>the</strong>re are limited but increasinginitiatives to link electric transport with renewable <strong>energy</strong>.Solar PV grew <strong>the</strong> fastest of all renewable technologies during<strong>the</strong> period from end-2006 through 2011, with operating capacityincreasing by an average of 58% annually, followed byconcentrating solar <strong>the</strong>rmal power (CSP), which increasedalmost 37% annually over this period from a small base, andwind power (26%). Demand is also growing rapidly for solar<strong>the</strong>rmal heat systems, geo<strong>the</strong>rmal ground-source heat pumps, andsome solid biomass fuels, such as wood pellets. The developmentof liquid biofuels has been mixed in recent years, with biodieselproduction expanding in 2011 and ethanol production stable ordown slightly compared with 2010. Hydropower and geo<strong>the</strong>rmalpower are growing <strong>global</strong>ly at rates averaging 2–3% per year. Inseveral countries, however, <strong>the</strong> growth in <strong>the</strong>se and o<strong>the</strong>rrenewable technologies far exceeds <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> average.A Dynamic Policy LandscapeAt least 118 countries, more than half of which are developingcountries, had renewable <strong>energy</strong> targets in place by early 2012, upfrom 109 as of early 2010. Renewable <strong>energy</strong> targets and supportpolicies continued to be a driving force behind increasing marketsfor renewable <strong>energy</strong>, despite some setbacks resulting from a lackof long-term policy certainty and stability in many countries.The number of official renewable <strong>energy</strong> targets and policies inplace to support investments in renewable <strong>energy</strong> continued toincrease in 2011 and early 2012, but at a slower adoption raterelative to previous years. Several countries undertook significantpolicy overhauls that have resulted in reduced support; somechanges were intended to improve existing instruments and achievemore targeted results as renewable <strong>energy</strong> technologies mature,while o<strong>the</strong>rs were part of <strong>the</strong> trend towards austerity measures.Renewable power generation policies remain <strong>the</strong> most commontype of support policy; at least 109 countries had some type ofrenewable power policy by early 2012, up from <strong>the</strong> 96 countriesreported in <strong>the</strong> GSR 2011. Feed-in-tariffs (FITs) and renewableportfolio standards (RPS) are <strong>the</strong> most commonly used policies inthis sector. FIT policies were in place in at least 65 countries and27 states by early 2012. While a number of new FITs wereenacted, most related policy activities involved revisions to existinglaws, at times under controversy and involving legal disputes.Quotas or Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) were in use in18 countries and at least 53 o<strong>the</strong>r jurisdictions, with two newcountries having enacted such policies in 2011 and early 2012.Policies to promote renewable heating and cooling continue to beenacted less aggressively than those in o<strong>the</strong>r sectors, but <strong>the</strong>ir usehas expanded in recent years. By early 2012, at least 19countries had specific renewable heating/cooling targets in placeand at least 17 countries and states had obligations/mandates topromote renewable heat. Numerous local governments alsosupport renewable heating systems through building codes ando<strong>the</strong>r measures. The focus of this sector is still primarily inEurope, but interest is expanding to o<strong>the</strong>r regions.206

TWOTECHNICIANS WORKING INSIDE THE TURBINE.© PAUL LANGROCK/ZENIT/GPThe issue of security of supply is at <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> policyagenda. Concern is focused both on price security and <strong>the</strong>security of physical supply for countries with none if <strong>the</strong>ir ownresources. At present around 80% of <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> demand ismet by fossil fuels. The world is currently experiencing anunrelenting increase in <strong>energy</strong> demand in <strong>the</strong> face of <strong>the</strong> finitenature of <strong>the</strong>se resources. At <strong>the</strong> same time, <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong>distribution of oil and gas resources does not match <strong>the</strong>distribution of demand. Some countries have to rely almostentirely on fossil fuel imports.Table 8.1 shows estimated deposits and current use of fossil <strong>energy</strong>sources. There is no shortage of fossil fuels; <strong>the</strong>re might a shortageof conventional oil and gas. Reducing <strong>global</strong> fossil fuel consumptionfor reasons of resource scarcity alone is not mandatory, eventhough <strong>the</strong>re may be substantial price fluctuations and regional orstructural shortages as we have seen in <strong>the</strong> past.The presently known coal resources and reserves alone probablyamount to around 3,000 times <strong>the</strong> amount currently mined in ayear. Thus, in terms of resource potential, current-level demand couldbe met for many hundreds of years to come. Coal is also relativelyevenly spread across <strong>the</strong> globe; each continent holds considerabledeposits. However, <strong>the</strong> supply horizon is clearly much lower forconventional mineral oil and gas reserves at 40–50 years. If someresources or deposits currently still classified as ‘unconventional’ areincluded, <strong>the</strong> resource potentials exceed <strong>the</strong> current consumptionrate by far more than one hundred years. However, seriousecological damage is frequently associated with fossil <strong>energy</strong> mining,particularly of unconventional deposits in oil sands and oil shale.Over <strong>the</strong> past few years, new commercial processes have beendeveloped in <strong>the</strong> natural gas extraction sector, allowing moreaffordable access to gas deposits previously considered‘unconventional’, many of which are more frequently found andevenly distributed <strong>global</strong>ly than traditional gas fields. However,tight gas and shale gas extraction can potentially be accompaniedby seismic activities and <strong>the</strong> pollution of groundwater basins andinshore waters. It <strong>the</strong>refore needs special regulations. It isexpected that an effective gas market will develop using <strong>the</strong>existing <strong>global</strong> distribution network for liquid gas via tankers andloading terminals. With greater competitiveness regards pricefixing, it is expected that <strong>the</strong> oil and gas prices will no longer belinked. Having more liquid gas in <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> mix (currentlyaround 10 % of overall gas consumption) significantly increasessupply security, e.g. reducing <strong>the</strong> risks of supply interruptionsassociated with international pipeline networks.Gas hydrates are ano<strong>the</strong>r type of gas deposit found in <strong>the</strong> form ofmethane aggregates both in <strong>the</strong> deep sea and underground inpermafrost. They are solid under high pressure and low temperatures.While <strong>the</strong>re is <strong>the</strong> possibility of continued greenhouse gas emissionsfrom such deposits as a consequence of arctic permafrost soil thawor a thawing of <strong>the</strong> relatively flat Siberian continental shelf, <strong>the</strong>re isalso potential for extraction of this <strong>energy</strong> source. Many states,including <strong>the</strong> USA, Japan, India, China and South Korea havelaunched relevant research programmes. Estimates of <strong>global</strong> depositsvary greatly; however, all are in <strong>the</strong> zettajoule range, for example70,000–700,000 EJ (Krey et al., 2009). The Global EnergyAssessment report estimates <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>oretical potential to be2,650–2,450,000 EJ (GEA, 2011), i.e. possibly more than athousand times greater than <strong>the</strong> current annual total <strong>energy</strong>consumption. Approximately a tenth (1,200–245,600 EJ) is rated aspotentially extractable. The WBGU advised against applied researchfor methane hydrate extraction, as mining bears considerable risksand methane hydrates do not represent a sustainable <strong>energy</strong> source(‘The Future Oceans’, WBGU, 2006).8<strong>energy</strong> resources and security of supply | FOSSIL FUELStable 8.1: <strong>global</strong> occurances of fossil and nuclear sourcesTHERE ARE HIGH UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE ASSESSMENT OF RESERVES AND RESOURCES.FUELHISTORICAL PRODUCTIONUP TO 2008 (EJ)PRODUCTIONIN 2008 (EJ)RESERVES(EJ)RESOURCES(EJ)FURTHERDEPOSITS (EJ)Conventional oilUnconventional oilConventional gasUnconventional gasCoalTotal fossil sourcesConventional uraniumUnconventional uranium6,5005003,4001607,10017,6601,300-170231181215047326-6,3503,8006,00042,50021,00079,6502,400-4,96734,0008,04156,500440,000543,5077,4004,100-47,000-490,000-537,000-2,600,000sourceThe representative figures shown here are WBGU estimates on <strong>the</strong> basis of <strong>the</strong> GEA, 2011.209

Scenariodevelopment shows that <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution can be madewithout any new oil exploration and production investments in<strong>the</strong> arctic or deep sea wells. Unconventional oil such asCanada’s tars and or Australia’s shale oil is not needed toguarantee <strong>the</strong> supply oil until it is phased out under <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario (see chapter 3).8.1 oilOil is <strong>the</strong> lifeblood of <strong>the</strong> modern <strong>global</strong> economy, as <strong>the</strong> effectsof <strong>the</strong> supply disruptions of <strong>the</strong> 1970s made clear. It is <strong>the</strong>number one source of <strong>energy</strong>, providing about one third of <strong>the</strong>world’s needs and <strong>the</strong> fuel employed almost exclusively foressential uses such as transportation. However, a passionatedebate has developed over <strong>the</strong> ability of supply to meet increasingconsumption, a debate obscured by poor information and stirredby recent soaring prices.4932953392,4051,9705,5023862,6404553,19741,27747,954-3,649-27,724-31,3738796,58479433,32543,24784,8291914458113without analysis or verification. Moreover, as <strong>the</strong>re is no agreeddefinition of reserves or standard reporting practice, <strong>the</strong>se figuresusually represent different physical and conceptual magnitudes.Confusing terminology - ‘proved’, ‘probable’, ‘possible’,‘recoverable’, ‘reasonable certainty’ - only adds to <strong>the</strong> problem.Historically, private oil companies have consistentlyunderestimated <strong>the</strong>ir reserves to comply with conservative stockexchange rules and through natural commercial caution.Whenever a discovery was made, only a portion of <strong>the</strong> geologist’sestimate of recoverable resources was reported; subsequentrevisions would <strong>the</strong>n increase <strong>the</strong> reserves from that same oilfield over time. National oil companies, mostly represented byOPEC (Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries), havetaken a very different approach. They are not subject to any sortof accountability and <strong>the</strong>ir reporting practices are even less clear.In <strong>the</strong> late 1980s, <strong>the</strong> OPEC countries blatantly overstated <strong>the</strong>irreserves while competing for production quotas, which wereallocated as a proportion of <strong>the</strong> reserves. Although some revisionwas needed after <strong>the</strong> companies were nationalised, between 1985and 1990, OPEC countries increased <strong>the</strong>ir apparent joint reservesby 82%. Not only were <strong>the</strong>se dubious revisions never corrected,but many of <strong>the</strong>se countries have reported untouched reserves foryears, even if no sizeable discoveries were made and productioncontinued at <strong>the</strong> same pace. Additionally, <strong>the</strong> Former SovietUnion’s oil and gas reserves have been overestimated by about30% because <strong>the</strong> original assessments were later misinterpreted.8.1.1 <strong>the</strong> reserves chaosPublic information about oil and gas reserves is strikinglyinconsistent, and potentially unreliable for legal, commercial,historical and sometimes political reasons. The most widelyavailable and quoted figures, those from <strong>the</strong> industry journals Oiland Gas Journal and World Oil, have limited value as <strong>the</strong>y report<strong>the</strong> reserve figures provided by companies and governmentsWhilst private companies are now becoming more realistic about<strong>the</strong> extent of <strong>the</strong>ir resources, <strong>the</strong> OPEC countries hold by far <strong>the</strong>majority of <strong>the</strong> reported reserves, and <strong>the</strong>ir information is asunsatisfactory as ever. Their conclusions should <strong>the</strong>refore betreated with considerable caution. To fairly estimate <strong>the</strong> world’soil resources would require a regional assessment of <strong>the</strong> meanbackdated (i.e. ‘technical’) discoveries.210

LINFEN, A CITY OF ABOUT 4.3 MILLION, IS ONE OF THE MOSTPOLLUTED CITIES IN THE WORLD. CHINA’S INCREASINGLY POLLUTEDENVIRONMENT IS LARGELY A RESULT OF THE COUNTRY’S RAPID DEVELOPMENTAND CONSEQUENTLY A LARGE INCREASE IN PRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTION,WHICH IS ALMOST ENTIRELY PRODUCED BY BURNING COAL.© GP/LANGER© N. BEHRING-CHISHOLM/GP8.1.2 non-conventional oil reservesA large share of <strong>the</strong> world’s remaining oil resources is classified as‘non-conventional’. Potential fuel sources such as oil sands, extraheavy oil and oil shale are generally more costly to exploit and<strong>the</strong>ir recovery involves enormous environmental damage. Thereserves of oil sands and extra heavy oil in existence worldwide areestimated to amount to around 6 trillion barrels, of which between1 and 2 trillion barrels are believed to be recoverable if <strong>the</strong> oilprice is high enough and <strong>the</strong> environmental standards low enough.One of <strong>the</strong> worst examples of environmental degradation resultingfrom <strong>the</strong> exploitation of unconventional oil reserves is <strong>the</strong> oilsands that lie beneath <strong>the</strong> Canadian province of Alberta and form<strong>the</strong> world’s second-largest proven oil reserves after Saudi Arabia.The ‘tar sands’ are a heavy mixture of bitumen, water, sand andclay found beneath more than 54,000 square miles 74 of primeforest in nor<strong>the</strong>rn Alberta, an area <strong>the</strong> size of England andWales. Producing crude oil from this resource generates up tofour times more carbon dioxide, <strong>the</strong> principal <strong>global</strong> warming gas,than conventional drilling. The booming oil sands industry willproduce 100 million tonnes of CO2 a year (equivalent to a fifth of<strong>the</strong> UK’s entire annual emissions) by 2012, ensuring that Canadawill miss its emission targets under <strong>the</strong> Kyoto treaty. The oil rushis also scarring a wilderness landscape: millions of tonnes of plantlife and top soil are scooped away in vast opencast mines andmillions of litres of water diverted from rivers. Up to five barrelsof water are needed to produce a single barrel of crude and <strong>the</strong>process requires huge amounts of natural gas. It takes two tonnesof <strong>the</strong> raw sands to produce a single barrel of oil.8.2 gasNatural gas has been <strong>the</strong> fastest growing fossil <strong>energy</strong> sourceover <strong>the</strong> last two decades, boosted by its increasing share in <strong>the</strong>electricity generation mix. Gas is generally regarded as anabundant resource and <strong>the</strong>re is lower public concern aboutdepletion than for oil, even though few in-depth studies address<strong>the</strong> subject. Gas resources are more concentrated and a fewmassive fields make up most of <strong>the</strong> reserves. The largest gas fieldin <strong>the</strong> world holds 15% of <strong>the</strong> Ultimate Recoverable Resources(URR), compared to 6% for oil. Unfortunately, information aboutgas resources suffers from <strong>the</strong> same bad practices as oil databecause gas mostly comes from <strong>the</strong> same geological formations,and <strong>the</strong> same stakeholders are involved.Most reserves are initially understated and <strong>the</strong>n gradually revisedupwards, giving an optimistic impression of growth. By contrast,Russia’s reserves, <strong>the</strong> largest in <strong>the</strong> world, are considered to havebeen overestimated by about 30%. Owing to geologicalsimilarities, gas follows <strong>the</strong> same depletion dynamic as oil, andthus <strong>the</strong> same discovery and production cycles. In fact, existingdata for gas is of worse quality than for oil, with ambiguitiesarising over <strong>the</strong> amount produced, partly because flared andvented gas is not always accounted for. As opposed to publishedreserves, <strong>the</strong> technical ones have been almost constant since1980 because discoveries have roughly matched production.8.2.1 shale gas 75Natural gas production, especially in <strong>the</strong> United States, hasrecently involved a growing contribution from non-conventionalgas supplies such as shale gas. Conventional natural gas depositshave a well-defined geographical area, <strong>the</strong> reservoirs are porousand permeable, <strong>the</strong> gas is produced easily through a wellbore anddoes not generally require artificial stimulation.Natural gas obtained from unconventional reserves (known as“shale gas” or “tight gas”) requires <strong>the</strong> reservoir rock to befractured using a process known as hydraulic fracturing or“fracking”. Fracking is associated with a range of environmentalimpacts some of which are not fully documented or understood.In addition, it appears that <strong>the</strong> greenhouse gas “footprint” ofshale gas production may be significantly greater than forconventional gas and is claimed to be even worse than for coal.Research and investment in non-conventional gas resources hasincreased significantly in recent years due to <strong>the</strong> rising price ofconventional natural gas. In some areas <strong>the</strong> technologies foreconomic production have already been developed, in o<strong>the</strong>rs it isstill at <strong>the</strong> research stage. Extracting shale gas, however, usuallygoes hand in hand with environmentally hazardous processes.Even so, it is expected to increase.Greenpeace is opposed to <strong>the</strong> exploitation of unconventionalgas reserves and <strong>the</strong>se resources are not needed to guarantee<strong>the</strong> needed gas supply under <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario.8.3 coalCoal was <strong>the</strong> world’s largest source of primary <strong>energy</strong> until it wasovertaken by oil in <strong>the</strong> 1960s. Today, coal supplies almost onequarter of <strong>the</strong> world’s <strong>energy</strong>. Despite being <strong>the</strong> most abundant offossil fuels, coal’s development is currently threatened byenvironmental concerns; hence its future will unfold in <strong>the</strong> contextof both <strong>energy</strong> security and <strong>global</strong> warming.Coal is abundant and more equally distributed throughout <strong>the</strong>world than oil and gas. Global recoverable reserves are <strong>the</strong>largest of all fossil fuels, and most countries have at least some.Moreover, existing and prospective big <strong>energy</strong> consumers like <strong>the</strong>US, China and India are self-sufficient in coal and will be for <strong>the</strong>foreseeable future. Coal has been exploited on a large scale fortwo centuries, so both <strong>the</strong> product and <strong>the</strong> available resources arewell known; no substantial new deposits are expected to bediscovered. Extrapolating <strong>the</strong> demand forecast forward, <strong>the</strong> worldwill consume 20% of its current reserves by 2030 and 40% by2050. Hence, if current trends are maintained, coal would stilllast several hundred years.references74 THE INDEPENDENT, 10 DECEMBER 2007.75 INTERSTATE NATURAL GAS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (INGAA), “AVAILABILITY, ECONOMICS AND PRODUCTIONPOTENTIAL OF NORTH AMERICAN UNCONVENTIONAL NATURAL GAS SUPPLIES”, NOVEMBER 2008.2118<strong>energy</strong> resources and security of supply | FOSSIL FUELS, NUCLEAR

The water footprint of<strong>the</strong>rmal power generation and fuel production is estimated by taking <strong>the</strong>production levels in each scenario and multiplying by technologyspecificwater consumption factors. Water consumption factors forpower generation technologies are taken from U.S. Department ofEnergy and University of Texas and adjusted for projected regionspecific<strong>the</strong>rmal efficiencies of different operating power plant types. iWater footprints of coal, oil and gas extraction are based on data fromWuppertal Institute, complemented by estimates of water footprint ofunconventional fossil fuels as well as first and second generationtransport biofuels. ii As a detailed regional breakdown of fuel productionby region is not available for <strong>the</strong> reference scenario, <strong>the</strong> water footprintof fuel production is only estimated on <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> level.Benefits of <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution for water:• Electric technologies with low to no water requirements – <strong>energy</strong>efficiency, wind and solar PV – substituted for <strong>the</strong>rmal powergeneration with high water impacts.• Reduced water use and contamination from fossil fuel production:no need for unconventional fossil fuels; lowered consumption ofconventional coal and oil.• Bio<strong>energy</strong> is based on waste-derived biomass and cellulosic biomassrequiring no irrigation (no food for fuel). As a result, water intensity ofbiomass use is a fraction of that in IEA scenarios.• Energy efficiency programmes reduce water consumption inbuildings and industry.218

Their exploitation is mainly a question of how to convertsunlight, wind, biomass or water into electricity, heat or power asefficiently, sustainably and cost-effectively as possible.box 8.1: definition of types of <strong>energy</strong>resource potential 77Theoretical potential The physical upper limit of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong>available from a certain source. For solar <strong>energy</strong>, forexample, this would be <strong>the</strong> total solar radiation falling on aparticular surface.Conversion potential This is derived from <strong>the</strong> annualefficiency of <strong>the</strong> respective conversion technology. It is<strong>the</strong>refore not a strictly defined value, since <strong>the</strong> efficiency ofa particular technology depends on technological progress.Technical potential This takes into account additionalrestrictions regarding <strong>the</strong> area that is realistically availablefor <strong>energy</strong> generation. Technological, structural andecological restrictions, as well as legislative requirements,are accounted for.Economic potential The proportion of <strong>the</strong> technical potentialthat can be utilised economically. For biomass, for example,those quantities are included that can be exploitedeconomically in competition with o<strong>the</strong>r products and land uses.Sustainable potential This limits <strong>the</strong> potential of an <strong>energy</strong>source based on evaluation of ecological and socioeconomicfactors.table 8.4: renewable <strong>energy</strong> <strong>the</strong>oretical potentialOn average, <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> in <strong>the</strong> sunshine that reaches <strong>the</strong> earth isabout one kilowatt per square metre worldwide. According to <strong>the</strong>IPCC Special Report Renewables (SRREN) 78 solar power is arenewable <strong>energy</strong> source gushing out at 7,900 times more than<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> currently needed in <strong>the</strong> world. In one day, <strong>the</strong> sunlightwhich reaches <strong>the</strong> earth produces enough <strong>energy</strong> to satisfy <strong>the</strong>world’s current <strong>energy</strong> requirements for twenty years, even beforeo<strong>the</strong>r renewable <strong>energy</strong> sources such as wind and ocean <strong>energy</strong>are taken into account. Even though only a percentage of thatpotential is technically accessible, this is still enough to provideup to ten times more <strong>energy</strong> than <strong>the</strong> world currently requires.Before looking at <strong>the</strong> part renewable energies can play in <strong>the</strong>range of scenarios in this report, it is worth understanding <strong>the</strong>upper limits of <strong>the</strong>ir regional potential and by when this potentialcan be exploited.The overall technical potential of renewable <strong>energy</strong> is huge andseveral times higher than current total <strong>energy</strong> demand. Technicalpotential is defined as <strong>the</strong> amount of renewable <strong>energy</strong> outputobtainable by full implementation of demonstrated technologiesor practices that are likely to develop. It takes into account <strong>the</strong>primary resources, <strong>the</strong> socio-geographical constraints and <strong>the</strong>technical losses in <strong>the</strong> conversion process. Calculating renewable<strong>energy</strong> potentials is highly complex because <strong>the</strong>se technologiesare comparatively young and <strong>the</strong>ir exploitation involves changesto <strong>the</strong> way in which <strong>energy</strong> is both generated and distributed. Thetechnical potential is dependent on a number of uncertainties,e.g. a technology breakthrough, for example, could have adramatic impact, changing <strong>the</strong> technical potential assessmentwithin a very short time frame. Fur<strong>the</strong>r, because of <strong>the</strong> speed oftechnology change, many existing studies are based on out of dateinformation.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK<strong>energy</strong> resources and security of supply | FOSSIL FUELS8A wide range of estimates is provided in <strong>the</strong> literature but studieshave consistently found that <strong>the</strong> total <strong>global</strong> technical potentialfor renewable <strong>energy</strong> is substantially higher than both current andprojected future <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> demand. Solar has <strong>the</strong> highesttechnical potential amongst <strong>the</strong> renewable sources, but substantialtechnical potential exists for all forms. (SRREN, May 2011)Taking into account <strong>the</strong> uncertainty of technical potential estimates,Figure 8.1 provides an overview of <strong>the</strong> technical potential of variousrenewable <strong>energy</strong> resources in <strong>the</strong> context of current <strong>global</strong>electricity and heat demand as well as <strong>global</strong> primary <strong>energy</strong> supply.Issues related to technology evolution, sustainability, resourceavailability, land use and o<strong>the</strong>r factors that relate to this technicalpotential are explored in <strong>the</strong> relevant chapters. The regionaldistribution of technical potential is addressed in map 8.7.The various types of <strong>energy</strong> cannot necessarily be added toge<strong>the</strong>rto estimate a total, because each type was estimatedindependently of <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs (for example, <strong>the</strong> assessment did nottake into account land use allocation; e.g. PV and concentratingsolar power cannot occupy <strong>the</strong> same space even though aparticular site is suitable for ei<strong>the</strong>r of <strong>the</strong>m).Given <strong>the</strong> large unexploited resources which exist, even withouthaving reached <strong>the</strong> full development limits of <strong>the</strong> varioustechnologies, <strong>the</strong> technical potential is not a limiting factor toexpansion of renewable <strong>energy</strong> generation. It will not benecessary nor desirable to exploit <strong>the</strong> entire technical potential.figure 8.1: ranges of <strong>global</strong> technical potentials of renewable <strong>energy</strong> sources<strong>global</strong> technical potential [EJ/yr, log scale]100,00010,0001,000100100RANGE OF ESTIMATESSUMMARISED IN IPCCREPORT CHAPTERS 2-7Global electricitydemand, 2008: 61 EJElectricityMAXIMUMMINIMUMImplementation of renewable energies must respect sustainabilitycriteria in order to achieve a sound future <strong>energy</strong> supply.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK<strong>energy</strong> resources and security of supply | BIOMASS IN THE 2012 ENERGY [R]EVOLUTION88.6 biomass in <strong>the</strong> 2012 <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution(4th edition)The 2012 Energy [R]evolution (4th edn.) is an <strong>energy</strong> scenariowhich shows a possible pathway for <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong> system tomove from fossil fuels dominated supply towards <strong>energy</strong> efficiencyand sustainable renewable <strong>energy</strong> use. The aim is to only usesustainable bio <strong>energy</strong> and reduce <strong>the</strong> use of unsustainable bio<strong>energy</strong> in developing countries which is currently in <strong>the</strong> range of30 to 40 EJ/a. The fourth edition of <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionagain decreases <strong>the</strong> amount of bio <strong>energy</strong> used significantly dueto sustainability reasons, and <strong>the</strong> lack of <strong>global</strong> environmentaland social standards. The amount of bio <strong>energy</strong> used in thisreport is based on bio <strong>energy</strong> potential surveys which are drawnfrom existing studies, but not necessarily reflecting all <strong>the</strong>ecological assumptions that Greenpeace would use. It is intendedas a coarse-scale, “order-of-magnitude” example of what <strong>the</strong><strong>energy</strong> mix would look like in <strong>the</strong> future (2050) with largelyphased-out fossil fuels. The rationale underpinning <strong>the</strong> use ofbiomass in <strong>the</strong> 2012 Energy [R]evolution is explained here butnote <strong>the</strong> amount of bio <strong>energy</strong> used in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutiondoes not mean that Greenpeace per se agrees to <strong>the</strong> amountwithout strict criteria.The Energy [R]evolution takes a precautionary approach to <strong>the</strong>future use of bio<strong>energy</strong>. This reflects growing concerns about <strong>the</strong>greenhouse gas balance of many biofuel sources, and also <strong>the</strong> risksposed by expanded bio fuels crop production to biodiversity(forests, wetlands and grasslands) and food security. It should bestressed, however, that this conservative approach is based on anassessment of today’s technologies and <strong>the</strong>ir associated risks. Thedevelopment of advanced forms of bio energies which do notinvolve significant land take, are demonstrably sustainable in termsof <strong>the</strong>ir impacts on <strong>the</strong> wider environment, and have cleargreenhouse gas benefits, should be an objective of public policy, andwould provide additional flexibility in <strong>the</strong> renewable <strong>energy</strong> mix.All <strong>energy</strong> production has some impact on <strong>the</strong> environment. Whatis important is to minimize <strong>the</strong> impact on <strong>the</strong> environment,through reduction in <strong>energy</strong> usage, increased efficiency andcareful choice of renewable <strong>energy</strong> sources. Different sources of<strong>energy</strong> have different impacts and <strong>the</strong>se impacts can varyenormously with scale. Hence, a range of <strong>energy</strong> sources areneeded, each with its own limits of what is sustainable.Biomass is part of <strong>the</strong> mix of a wide variety of sustainable energiesthat, toge<strong>the</strong>r, provide a practical and possible means to eliminateour dependency on fossil fuels. Thereby we can minimize greenhousegas emissions, especially from fossil carbon, from <strong>energy</strong> production.Concerns have also been raised about how countries account for <strong>the</strong>emissions associated with biofuels production and combustion. Thelifecycle emissions of different biofuels can vary enormously. Toensure that biofuels are produced and used in ways which maximizeits greenhouse gas saving potential, <strong>the</strong>se accounting problems willneed to be resolved in future. The Energy [R]evolution prioritisesnon-combustion resources (wind, solar etc.). Greenpeace does notconsider biomass as carbon, or greenhouse gas, neutral because of<strong>the</strong> time biomass takes to regrow and because of emissions arisingfrom direct and indirect land use changes. The Energy [R]evolutionscenario is an <strong>energy</strong> scenario, <strong>the</strong>refore only <strong>energy</strong> related CO2emissions are calculated and no o<strong>the</strong>r GHG emissions can becovered, e.g. from agricultural practices. However, <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution summarizes <strong>the</strong> entire amount of bio <strong>energy</strong> used in<strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> model and indicates possible additional emissionsconnected to <strong>the</strong> use of biofuels. As <strong>the</strong>re are many scientificpublications about <strong>the</strong> GHG emission effects of bio <strong>energy</strong> whichvary between carbon neutral to higher CO2 emissions than fossilfuels a range is given in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution.Bio<strong>energy</strong> in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario is largely limitedto that which can be gained from wood processing andagricultural (crop harvest and processing) residues as well asfrom discarded wood products. The amounts are based on existingstudies, some of which apply sustainability criteria but do notnecessarily reflect all Greenpeace’s sustainability criteria. Largescalebiomass from forests would not be sustainable. 79 The Energy[R]evolution recognises that <strong>the</strong>re are competing uses forbiomass, e.g. maintaining soil fertility, use of straw as animal feedand bedding, use of woodchip in furniture and does not use <strong>the</strong>full potential. Importantly, <strong>the</strong> use of biomass in <strong>the</strong> 2012 Energy[R]evolution has been developed within <strong>the</strong> context ofGreenpeace’s broader Bio<strong>energy</strong> Position to minimize and avoid<strong>the</strong> growth of bio <strong>energy</strong> and in order to prevent use ofunsustainable bio <strong>energy</strong>. The Energy [R]evolution uses <strong>the</strong> latestavailable bio <strong>energy</strong> technologies for power and heat generation,as well as transport systems. These technologies can use differenttypes of fuel and bio gas is preferred due to higher conversionefficiencies. Therefore <strong>the</strong> primary source for bio mass is not fixedand can be changed over time. Of course, any individual bio<strong>energy</strong>project developed in reality needs to be thoroughly researched toensure our sustainability criteria are met.Greenpeace supports <strong>the</strong> most efficient use of biomass in stationaryapplications. For example, <strong>the</strong> use of agricultural and woodprocessing residues in, preferably regional and efficient cogenerationpower plants, such as CHP (combined heat and power plants).228reference79 SCHULZE, E-D., KÖRNER, C., LAW, B.E .HABERL, H. & LUYSSAERT, S. 2012.

The Energy[R]evolution assumes an increase to 80 EJ/a. in 2050. Currently,much biomass is used in low-efficiency traditional uses andcharcoal. 82 The Energy [R]evolution assumes an increase in <strong>the</strong>efficiency of biomass usage for <strong>energy</strong> <strong>global</strong>ly by 2050. Inaddition to efficiencies in burning, <strong>the</strong>re are potentially betteruses of local biogas plants from manure (in developing countriesat least), better recovery of residues not suitable as feed and anincrease in food production using ecological agriculture. TheEnergy [R]evolution assumes biofuels will only be used for heavytrucks, marine transport and – after 2035 – to a limited extentfor aviation. In those sectors, <strong>the</strong>re are currently no o<strong>the</strong>rtechnologies available – apart from some niche technologieswhich are not proven yet and <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong> only option to replaceoil. No import/export of biomass between regions (e.g. Canadaand Europe) is required for <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution.In <strong>the</strong> 2012 Energy [R]evolution, <strong>the</strong> bio<strong>energy</strong> potential has notbeen broken down into various sources, because different forms ofbio<strong>energy</strong> (e.g. solid, gas, fluid) and technical developmentcontinues so <strong>the</strong> relative contribution of sources is variable.Dedicated biomass crops are not excluded, but are limited tocurrent amounts of usage. Similarly, 10 % of current treeplantations are already used for bio<strong>energy</strong> 83 , and <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution assumes <strong>the</strong> same usage.There have been several studies on <strong>the</strong> availability of biomass for<strong>energy</strong> production and <strong>the</strong> consequences for sustainability. Beloware brief details of examples of such studies on available biomass.These are not Greenpeace studies, but serve to illustrate <strong>the</strong> rangeof estimates available and <strong>the</strong>ir principal considerations.The Energy [R]evolution estimate of 80 EJ/yr is at <strong>the</strong> low endof <strong>the</strong> spectrum of estimates of available biomass. The Energy[R]evolution doesn’t differentiate between forest and agriculturalresidues as <strong>the</strong>re is too much uncertainty regarding <strong>the</strong> amountsavailable regionally now and in <strong>the</strong> future.box 8.2: what is an exajoule?• One exajoule is a billion billion joules• One exajoule is about equal to <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> content of 30million tons of coal.

However, <strong>the</strong>re are large uncertainties in this potentialsuch as market and policy conditions, and it strongly dependson <strong>the</strong> rate of improvement in <strong>the</strong> production of food andfodder as well as wood and pulp products.”• WWF (2011) Ecofys Energy Scenario (for WWF) found a2050 total potential of 209 EJ per year with a share ofwaste/residue-based bio<strong>energy</strong> of 101 EJ per year (for 2050),a quarter of which is agricultural residues like cereal straw.O<strong>the</strong>r major sources include wet waste/residues like sugar beet/potato, oil palm, sugar cane/cassava processing residues ormanure (35 EJ), wood processing residues and wood waste (20EJ) and non-recyclable renewable dry municipal solid waste(11 EJ). 84 However, it’s not always clear how some of <strong>the</strong>numbers were calculated.• Beringer et al. (2011) estimate a <strong>global</strong> bio<strong>energy</strong> potential of130-270 EJ per year in 2050 of which 100 EJ per year iswaste/residue based. 85• WBGU (2009) estimate a <strong>global</strong> bio<strong>energy</strong> potential of 80-170 EJ per year in 2050 of which 50 EJ per year iswaste/residue based. 86• Deutsches Biomasse Forschungs Zentrum (DBFZ), 2008 did asurvey for Greenpeace International where <strong>the</strong> sustainable bio<strong>energy</strong> potentials for residuals have been estimated at 87.6EJ/a and <strong>energy</strong> crops at a level of 10 to 15 EJ/a (dependingon <strong>the</strong> assumptions for food production). The DBFZ technicaland sustainable potential for growing <strong>energy</strong> crops has beencalculated on <strong>the</strong> assumption that demand for food takespriority. As a first step <strong>the</strong> demand for arable and grassland forfood production has been calculated for each of 133 countriesin different scenarios. These scenarios are:Business as usual (BAU) scenario: Present agriculturalactivity continues for <strong>the</strong> foreseeable futureBasic scenario: No forest clearing; reduced use of fallowareas for agricultureSub-scenario 1: Basic scenario plus expanded ecologicalprotection areas and reduced crop yieldsSub-scenario 2: Basic scenario plus food consumptionreduced in industrialised countriesSub-scenario 3: Combination of sub-scenarios 1 and 2.In a next step <strong>the</strong> surpluses of agricultural areas were classifiedei<strong>the</strong>r as arable land or grassland. On grassland, hay and grasssilage are produced, on arable land fodder silage and ShortRotation Coppice (such as fast-growing willow or poplar) arecultivated. Silage of green fodder and grass are assumed to beused for biogas production, wood from SRC and hay fromgrasslands for <strong>the</strong> production of heat, electricity and syn<strong>the</strong>ticfuels. Country specific yield variations were taken intoconsideration. The result is that <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> biomass potential from<strong>energy</strong> crops in 2050 falls within a range from 6 EJ in Subscenario1 up to 97 EJ in <strong>the</strong> BAU scenario.Greenpeace’s vision of ecological agriculture means that lowinput agriculture is not an option, but a pre-requisite. This meansstrongly reduced dependence on capital intensive inputs. The shiftto eco-ag increases <strong>the</strong> importance of agricultural residues assyn<strong>the</strong>tic fertilisers are phased out and animal feed productionand water use (irrigation and o<strong>the</strong>r) are reduced. We will needoptimal use of residues as fertilizer, animal feed, and to increasesoil organic carbon and <strong>the</strong> water retention function of <strong>the</strong> soilsetc. to make agriculture more resilient to climate impacts(droughts, floods) and to help mitigate climate change.230references84 WWF 2011.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | FOSSIL FUEL TECHNOLOGIESThis chapter describes <strong>the</strong> range of technologies available nowand in <strong>the</strong> future to satisfy <strong>the</strong> world’s <strong>energy</strong> demand. TheEnergy [R]evolution scenario is focused on <strong>the</strong> potential for<strong>energy</strong> savings and renewable sources, primarily in <strong>the</strong> electricityand heat generating sectors.9.1 fossil fuel technologiesThe most commonly used fossil fuels for power generation around<strong>the</strong> world are coal and gas. Oil is still used where o<strong>the</strong>r fuels arenot readily available, for example islands or remote sites, orwhere <strong>the</strong>re is an indigenous resource. Toge<strong>the</strong>r, coal and gascurrently account for over half of <strong>global</strong> electricity supply.9.1.1 coal combustion technologiesIn a conventional coal-fired power station, pulverised or powderedcoal is blown into a combustion chamber where it is burned athigh temperature. The resulting heat is used to convert waterflowing through pipes lining <strong>the</strong> boiler into steam. This drives asteam turbine and generates electricity. Over 90% of <strong>global</strong> coalfiredcapacity uses this system. Coal power stations can vary incapacity from a few hundred megawatts up to several thousand.A number of technologies have been introduced to improve <strong>the</strong>environmental performance of conventional coal combustion.These include coal cleaning (to reduce <strong>the</strong> ash content) andvarious ‘bolt-on’ or ‘end-of-pipe’ technologies to reduce emissionsof particulates, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, <strong>the</strong> mainpollutants resulting from coal firing apart from carbon dioxide.Flue gas desulphurisation (FGD), for example, most commonlyinvolves ‘scrubbing’ <strong>the</strong> flue gases using an alkaline sorbentslurry, which is predominantly lime or limestone based.More fundamental changes have been made to <strong>the</strong> way coal isburned both to improve its efficiency and fur<strong>the</strong>r reduceemissions of pollutants. These include:• Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle: Coal is not burneddirectly but reacted with oxygen and steam to form a syn<strong>the</strong>ticgas composed mainly of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This iscleaned and <strong>the</strong>n burned in a gas turbine to generate electricityand produce steam to drive a steam turbine. IGCC improves <strong>the</strong>efficiency of coal combustion from 38-40% up to 50%.• Supercritical and Ultrasupercritical: These power plants operateat higher temperatures than conventional combustion, againincreasing efficiency towards 50%.• Fluidised Bed Combustion: Coal is burned in a reactorcomprised of a bed through which gas is fed to keep <strong>the</strong> fuel ina turbulent state. This improves combustion, heat transfer and<strong>the</strong> recovery of waste products. By elevating pressures within abed, a high-pressure gas stream can be used to drive a gasturbine, generating electricity. Emissions of both sulphur dioxideand nitrogen oxide can be reduced substantially.• Pressurised Pulverised Coal Combustion: Mainly beingdeveloped in Germany, this is based on <strong>the</strong> combustion of afinely ground cloud of coal particles creating high pressure,232high temperature steam for power generation. The hot fluegases are used to generate electricity in a similar way to <strong>the</strong>combined cycle system.O<strong>the</strong>r potential future technologies involve <strong>the</strong> increased use ofcoal gasification. Underground Coal Gasification, for example,involves converting deep underground unworked coal into acombustible gas which can be used for industrial heating, powergeneration or <strong>the</strong> manufacture of hydrogen, syn<strong>the</strong>tic natural gasor o<strong>the</strong>r chemicals. The gas can be processed to remove CO2before it is passed on to end users. Demonstration projects areunderway in Australia, Europe, China and Japan.9.1.2 gas combustion technologiesNatural gas can be used for electricity generation through <strong>the</strong> useof ei<strong>the</strong>r gas or steam turbines. For <strong>the</strong> equivalent amount ofheat, gas produces about 45% less carbon dioxide during itscombustion than coal.Gas turbine plants use <strong>the</strong> heat from gases to directly operate <strong>the</strong>turbine. Natural gas fuelled turbines can start rapidly, and are<strong>the</strong>refore often used to supply <strong>energy</strong> during periods of peakdemand, although at higher cost than baseload plants.Particularly high efficiencies can be achieved through combininggas turbines with a steam turbine in combined cycle mode. In acombined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant, a gas turbinegenerator produces electricity and <strong>the</strong> exhaust gases from <strong>the</strong>turbine are <strong>the</strong>n used to make steam to generate additionalelectricity. The efficiency of modern CCGT power stations can bemore than 50%. Most new gas power plants built since <strong>the</strong>1990s have been of this type.At least until <strong>the</strong> recent increase in <strong>global</strong> gas prices, CCGTpower stations have been <strong>the</strong> cheapest option for electricitygeneration in many countries. Capital costs have beensubstantially lower than for coal and nuclear plants andconstruction time shorter.9.1.3 carbon reduction technologiesWhenever a fossil fuel is burned, carbon dioxide (CO2) isproduced. Depending on <strong>the</strong> type of power plant, a large quantityof <strong>the</strong> gas will dissipate into <strong>the</strong> atmosphere and contribute toclimate change. A hard coal power plant discharges roughly 720grammes of carbon dioxide per kilowatt hour, a modern gas-firedplant about 370g CO2/kWh. One method, currently underdevelopment, to mitigate <strong>the</strong> CO2 impact of fossil fuel combustionis called carbon capture and storage (CCS). It involves capturingCO2 from power plant smokestacks, compressing <strong>the</strong> captured gasfor transport via pipeline or ship and pumping it intounderground geological formations for permanent storage.While frequently touted as <strong>the</strong> solution to <strong>the</strong> carbon probleminherent in fossil fuel combustion, CCS for coal-fired powerstations is unlikely to be ready for at least ano<strong>the</strong>r decade.Despite <strong>the</strong> ‘proof of concept’ experiments currently in progress,<strong>the</strong> technology remains unproven as a fully integrated process in

Suitable andeffective capture technology has not been developed and isunlikely to be commercially available any time soon; effective andsafe long-term storage on <strong>the</strong> scale necessary has not beendemonstrated; and serious concerns attach to <strong>the</strong> safety aspectsof transport and injection of CO2 into designated formations,while long term retention cannot reliably be assured.Deploying <strong>the</strong> technology on coal power plants is likely to doubleconstruction costs, increase fuel consumption by 10-40%, consumemore water, generate more pollutants and ultimately require <strong>the</strong>public sector to ensure that <strong>the</strong> CO2 stays where it has been buried.In a similar way to <strong>the</strong> disposal of nuclear waste, CCS envisagescreating a scheme whereby future generations monitor inperpetuity <strong>the</strong> climate pollution produced by <strong>the</strong>ir predecessors.9.1.4 carbon dioxide storageIn order to benefit <strong>the</strong> climate, captured CO2 has to be storedsomewhere permanently. Current thinking is that it can bepumped under <strong>the</strong> earth’s surface at a depth of over 3,000 feetinto geological formations, such as saline aquifers. However, <strong>the</strong>volume of CO2 that would need to be captured and stored isenormous - a single coal-fired power plant can produce 7 milliontonnes of CO2 annually. It is estimated that a single ‘stabilisationwedge’ of CCS (enough to reduce carbon emissions by 1 billionmetric tons per year by 2050) would require a flow of CO2 into<strong>the</strong> ground equal to <strong>the</strong> current flow out of <strong>the</strong> ground - and inaddition to <strong>the</strong> associated infrastructure to compress, transportand pump it underground. It is still not clear that it will betechnically feasible to capture and bury this much carbon, both interms of <strong>the</strong> number of storage sites and whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y will belocated close enough to power plants.Even if it is feasible to bury hundreds of thousands of megatonsof CO2 <strong>the</strong>re is no way to guarantee that storage locations will beappropriately designed and managed over <strong>the</strong> timescalesrequired. The world has limited experience of storing CO2underground; <strong>the</strong> longest running storage project at Sleipner in<strong>the</strong> Norweigian North Sea began operation only in 1996. This isparticularly concerning because as long as CO2 is present ingeological sites, <strong>the</strong>re is a risk of leakage. Although leakages areunlikely to occur in well managed and monitored sites, permanentstorage stability cannot be guaranteed since tectonic activity andnatural leakage over long timeframes are impossible to predict.Sudden leakage of CO2 can be fatal. Carbon dioxide is not itselfpoisonous, and is contained (approx. 0.04 %) in <strong>the</strong> air webrea<strong>the</strong>. But as concentrations increase it displaces <strong>the</strong> vitaloxygen in <strong>the</strong> air. Air with concentrations of 7 to 8% CO2 byvolume causes death by suffocation after 30 to 60 minutes.There are also health hazards when large amounts of CO2 areexplosively released. Although <strong>the</strong> gas normally disperses quicklyafter leaking, it can accumulate in depressions in <strong>the</strong> landscapeor closed buildings, since carbon dioxide is heavier than air. It isequally dangerous when it escapes more slowly and without beingnoticed in residential areas, for example in cellars below houses.The dangers from such leaks are known from natural volcanicCO2 degassing. Gas escaping at <strong>the</strong> Lake Nyos crater lake inCameroon, Africa in 1986 killed over 1,700 people. At least tenpeople have died in <strong>the</strong> Lazio region of Italy in <strong>the</strong> last 20 yearsas a result of CO2 being released.9.1.5 carbon storage and climate change targetsCan carbon storage contribute to climate change reductiontargets? In order to avoid dangerous climate change, <strong>global</strong>greenhouse gas emissions need to peak by between 2015 and2020 and fall dramatically <strong>the</strong>reafter. However, power plantscapable of capturing and storing CO2 are still being developedand won’t become a reality for at least ano<strong>the</strong>r decade, if ever.This means that even if CCS works, <strong>the</strong> technology would notmake any substantial contribution towards protecting <strong>the</strong> climatebefore 2020.Power plant CO2 storage will also not be of any great help inattaining <strong>the</strong> goal of at least an 80% greenhouse gas reductionby 2050 in OECD countries. Even if CCS were to be available in2020, most of <strong>the</strong> world’s new power plants will have justfinished being modernised. All that could <strong>the</strong>n be done would befor existing power plants to be retrofitted and CO2 captured from<strong>the</strong> waste gas flow. Retrofitting power plants would be anextremely expensive exercise. ‘Capture ready’ power plants areequally unlikely to increase <strong>the</strong> likelihood of retrofitting existingfleets with capture technology.The conclusion reached in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario isthat renewable <strong>energy</strong> sources are already available, in manycases cheaper, and lack <strong>the</strong> negative environmental impactsassociated with fossil fuel exploitation, transport and processing.It is renewable <strong>energy</strong> toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>energy</strong> efficiency and <strong>energy</strong>conservation – and not carbon capture and storage – that has toincrease worldwide so that <strong>the</strong> primary cause of climate change –<strong>the</strong> burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas – is stopped.Greenpeace opposes any CCS efforts which lead to:• public financial support to CCS at <strong>the</strong> expense of fundingrenewable <strong>energy</strong> development and investment in <strong>energy</strong> efficiency.• stagnation of renewable <strong>energy</strong>, <strong>energy</strong> efficiency and <strong>energy</strong>conservation improvements.• inclusion of CCS in <strong>the</strong> Kyoto Protocol’s Clean DevelopmentMechanism (CDM) as it would divert funds away from <strong>the</strong>stated intention of <strong>the</strong> mechanism, and cannot be consideredclean development under any coherent definition of this term.• promotion of this possible future technology as <strong>the</strong> only majorsolution to climate change, <strong>the</strong>reby leading to new fossil fueldevelopments – especially lignite and black coal-fired powerplants, and an increase in emissions in <strong>the</strong> short to medium term.9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | FOSSIL FUEL TECHNOLOGIES233


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGIES9.2 nuclear technologiesGenerating electricity from nuclear power involves transferring<strong>the</strong> heat produced by a controlled nuclear fission reaction into aconventional steam turbine generator. The nuclear reaction takesplace inside a core and surrounded by a containment vessel ofvarying design and structure. Heat is removed from <strong>the</strong> core by acoolant (gas or water) and <strong>the</strong> reaction controlled by amoderating element or “moderator”.Across <strong>the</strong> world over <strong>the</strong> last two decades <strong>the</strong>re has been ageneral slowdown in building new nuclear power stations. This hasbeen caused by a variety of factors: fear of a nuclear accident,following <strong>the</strong> events at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Monju andFukushima, increased scrutiny of economics and environmentalfactors, such as waste management and radioactive discharges.9.2.1 nuclear reactor designs:evolution and safety issuesAt <strong>the</strong> beginning of 2005 <strong>the</strong>re were 441 nuclear power reactorsoperating in 31 countries around <strong>the</strong> world. Although <strong>the</strong>re aredozens of different reactor designs and sizes, <strong>the</strong>re are threebroad categories ei<strong>the</strong>r currently deployed or under development.These are:Generation I: Prototype commercial reactors developed in <strong>the</strong>1950s and 1960s as modified or enlarged military reactors,originally ei<strong>the</strong>r for submarine propulsion or plutonium production.Generation II: Mainstream reactor designs in commercialoperation worldwide.Generation III: New generation reactors now being built.Generation III reactors include <strong>the</strong> so-called Advanced Reactors,three of which are already in operation in Japan, with moreunder construction or planned. About 20 different designs arereported to be under development, 87 most of <strong>the</strong>m ‘evolutionary’designs developed from Generation II reactor types with somemodifications, but without introducing drastic changes. Some of<strong>the</strong>m represent more innovative approaches. According to <strong>the</strong>World Nuclear Association, reactors of Generation III arecharacterised by <strong>the</strong> following:• a standardised design for each type to expedite licensing,reduce capital cost and construction time• a simpler and more rugged design, making <strong>the</strong>m easier tooperate and less vulnerable to operational upsets• higher availability and longer operating life, typically 60 years• reduced possibility of core melt accidents• minimal effect on <strong>the</strong> environment• higher burn-up to reduce fuel use and <strong>the</strong> amount of waste• burnable absorbers (‘poisons’) to extend fuel lifeTo what extent <strong>the</strong>se goals address issues of higher safetystandards, as opposed to improved economics, remains unclear.Of <strong>the</strong> new reactor types, <strong>the</strong> European Pressurised WaterReactor (EPR) has been developed from <strong>the</strong> most recentGeneration II designs to start operation in France and Germany. 88Its stated goals are to improve safety levels - in particular toreduce <strong>the</strong> probability of a severe accident by a factor of ten,achieve mitigation from severe accidents by restricting <strong>the</strong>irconsequences to <strong>the</strong> plant itself, and reduce costs. Compared toits predecessors, however, <strong>the</strong> EPR displays several modificationswhich constitute a reduction of safety margins, including:• The volume of <strong>the</strong> reactor building has been reduced bysimplifying <strong>the</strong> layout of <strong>the</strong> emergency core cooling system,and by using <strong>the</strong> results of new calculations which predict lesshydrogen development during an accident.• The <strong>the</strong>rmal output of <strong>the</strong> plant has been increased by 15%relative to existing French reactors by increasing core outlettemperature, letting <strong>the</strong> main coolant pumps run at highercapacity and modifying <strong>the</strong> steam generators.• The EPR has fewer redundant pathways in its safety systemsthan a German Generation II reactor.Several o<strong>the</strong>r modifications are hailed as substantial safetyimprovements, including a ‘core catcher’ system to control ameltdown accident. None<strong>the</strong>less, in spite of <strong>the</strong> changes beingenvisaged, <strong>the</strong>re is no guarantee that <strong>the</strong> safety level of <strong>the</strong> EPRactually represents a significant improvement. In particular,reduction of <strong>the</strong> expected core melt probability by a factor of tenis not proven. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, <strong>the</strong>re are serious doubts as towhe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> mitigation and control of a core melt accident with<strong>the</strong> core catcher concept will actually work.Finally, Generation IV reactors are currently being developedwith <strong>the</strong> aim of commercialisation in 20-30 years.234references87 IAEA 2004; WNO 2004A.88 HAINZ 2004.

Most of <strong>the</strong>m derive from <strong>the</strong> effect of<strong>the</strong> sun and moon on <strong>the</strong> earth’s wea<strong>the</strong>r patterns. They alsoproduce none of <strong>the</strong> harmful emissions and pollution associatedwith ‘conventional’ fuels. Although hydroelectric power has beenused on an industrial scale since <strong>the</strong> middle of <strong>the</strong> last century,<strong>the</strong> serious exploitation of o<strong>the</strong>r renewable sources has a morerecent history.box 9.1: definition of renewable <strong>energy</strong> by <strong>the</strong> ipcc“Renewable <strong>energy</strong> is any form of <strong>energy</strong> from solar,geophysical or biological sources that is replenished bynatural processes at a rate that equals or exceeds its rateof use. RE is obtained from <strong>the</strong> continuing or repetitiveflows of <strong>energy</strong> occurring in <strong>the</strong> natural environment andincludes resources such as biomass, solar <strong>energy</strong>,geo<strong>the</strong>rmal heat, hydropower, tide and waves and ocean<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong>, and wind <strong>energy</strong>. However, it is possible toutilise biomass at a greater rate than it can grow, or todraw heat from a geo<strong>the</strong>rmal field at a faster rate thanheat flows can replenish it. On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, <strong>the</strong> rate ofutilisation of direct solar <strong>energy</strong> has no bearing on <strong>the</strong> rateat which it reaches <strong>the</strong> Earth. Fossil fuels (coal, oil, naturalgas) do not fall under this definition, as <strong>the</strong>y are notreplenished within a time frame that is short relative to<strong>the</strong>ir rate of utilisation.”sourceIPCC, SPECIAL REPORT RENEWABLE ENERGY /SRREN RENEWABLES FOR POWER GENERATION.figure 9.1: example of <strong>the</strong> photovoltaic effect9.3.1 solar power (photovoltaics)There is more than enough solar radiation available all over <strong>the</strong>world to satisfy a vastly increased demand for solar powersystems. The sunlight which reaches <strong>the</strong> earth’s surface is enoughto provide 7,900 times as much <strong>energy</strong> as we can currently use.On a <strong>global</strong> average, each square metre of land is exposed toenough sunlight to produce 1,700 kWh of power every year. Theaverage irradiation in Europe is about 1,000 kWh per squaremetre and 1,800 kWh in <strong>the</strong> Middle East.Photovoltaic (PV) technology is <strong>the</strong> generation of electricityfrom light. Photovoltaic systems contain cells that convertsunlight into electricity. Inside each cell <strong>the</strong>re are layers of asemi-conducting material. Light falling on <strong>the</strong> cell creates anelectric field across <strong>the</strong> layers, causing electricity to flow. Theintensity of <strong>the</strong> light determines <strong>the</strong> amount of electrical powereach cell generates. A photovoltaic system does not need directsunlight in order to operate. It can also generate electricity oncloudy and rainy days but with lower output.Solar PV is different from a solar <strong>the</strong>rmal collecting system (seebelow) where <strong>the</strong> sun’s rays are used to generate heat, usually for hotwater in a house, swimming pool, or o<strong>the</strong>r domestic applications.The most important parts of a PV system are <strong>the</strong> cells whichform <strong>the</strong> basic building blocks, <strong>the</strong> modules which bring toge<strong>the</strong>rlarge numbers of cells into a unit, and, in some situations, <strong>the</strong>inverters used to convert <strong>the</strong> electricity generated into a formsuitable for everyday use. When a PV installation is described ashaving a capacity of 3 kWp (peak), this refers to <strong>the</strong> output of<strong>the</strong> system under standard testing conditions, allowingcomparison between different modules. In central Europe a 3kWp rated solar electricity system, with a surface area ofapproximately 27 square metres, would produce enough power tomeet <strong>the</strong> electricity demand of an <strong>energy</strong> conscious household.figure 9.2: photovoltaic technology9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES11.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESThere are several different PV technologies and types of installedsystem. PV systems can provide clean power for small or largeapplications. They are already installed and generating <strong>energy</strong>around <strong>the</strong> world on individual homes, housing developments,offices and public buildings.Today, fully functioning solar PV installations operate in bothbuilt environments and remote areas where it is difficult toconnect to <strong>the</strong> grid or where <strong>the</strong>re is no <strong>energy</strong> infrastructure. PVinstallations that operate in isolated locations are known asstand-alone systems. In built areas, PV systems can be mountedon top of roofs (known as Building Adapted PV systems – orBAPV) or can be integrated into <strong>the</strong> roof or building facade(known as Building Integrated PV systems – or BIPV).Modern PV systems are not restricted to square and flat panelarrays. They can be curved, flexible and shaped to <strong>the</strong> building’sdesign. Innovative architects and engineers are constantly findingnew ways to integrate PV into <strong>the</strong>ir designs, creating buildingsthat are dynamic, beautiful and provide free, clean <strong>energy</strong>throughout <strong>the</strong>ir life.TechnologiesCrystalline silicon technology: Crystalline silicon cells are madefrom thin slices cut from a single crystal of silicon (monocrystalline) or from a block of silicon crystals (polycrystalline ormulti crystalline). This is <strong>the</strong> most common technology,representing about 80% of <strong>the</strong> market today. In addition, thistechnology also exists in <strong>the</strong> form of ribbon sheets.Thin film technology: Thin film modules are constructed bydepositing extremely thin layers of photosensitive materials ontoa substrate such as glass, stainless steel or flexible plastic. Thelatter opens up a range of applications, especially for buildingintegration (roof tiles) and end-consumer purposes. Four types ofthin film modules are commercially available at <strong>the</strong> moment:Amorphous Silicon, Cadmium Telluride, Copper Indium/GalliumDiselenide/Disulphide and multi-junction cells.O<strong>the</strong>r emerging cell technologies (at <strong>the</strong> development or earlycommercial stage): These include Concentrated Photovoltaic,consisting of cells built into concentrating collectors that use alens to focus <strong>the</strong> concentrated sunlight onto <strong>the</strong> cells, and OrganicSolar Cells, whereby <strong>the</strong> active material consists at least partiallyof organic dye, small, volatile organic molecules or polymer.SystemsIndustrial and utility-scale power plants: Large industrial PVsystems can produce enormous quantities of electricity at a singlepoint. These types of electricity generation plants can producefrom many hundreds of kilowatts (kW) to several megawatts(MW).The solar panels for industrial systems are usuallymounted on frames on <strong>the</strong> ground. However, <strong>the</strong>y can also beinstalled on large industrial buildings such as warehouses, airportterminals or railways stations. The system can make double-use ofan urban space and put electricity into <strong>the</strong> grid where <strong>energy</strong>intensiveconsumers are located.Residential and commercial systems: Grid Connected Gridconnected are <strong>the</strong> most popular type of solar PV systems forhomes and businesses in <strong>the</strong> developed world. Connection to <strong>the</strong>local electricity network, allows any excess power produced to besold to <strong>the</strong> utility. When solar <strong>energy</strong> is not available, electricitycan be drawn from <strong>the</strong> grid. An inverter converts <strong>the</strong> DC powerproduced by <strong>the</strong> system to AC power for running normalelectrical equipment. This type of PV system is referred to asbeing ‘on-grid.’ A ‘grid support’ system can be connected to <strong>the</strong>local electricity network as well as a back-up battery. Any excesssolar electricity produced after <strong>the</strong> battery has been charged is<strong>the</strong>n sold to <strong>the</strong> network. This system is ideal for use in areas ofunreliable power supply.Stand-alone, off-grid systems Off-grid PV systems have noconnection to an electricity grid. An off-grid system usually hasbatteries, so power can still be used at night or after several daysof low sun. An inverter is needed to convert <strong>the</strong> DC powergenerated into AC power for use in appliances. Typical off-gridapplications are:• Off-grid systems for rural electrification: Typical off-gridinstallations bring electricity to remote areas or developingcountries. They can be small home systems which cover ahousehold’s basic electricity needs, or larger solar mini-gridswhich provide enough power for several homes, a community orsmall business use.• Off-grid industrial applications: Off-grid industrial systems areused in remote areas to power repeater stations for mobiletelephones (enabling communications), traffic signals, marinenavigational aids, remote lighting, highway signs and watertreatment plants among o<strong>the</strong>rs. Both full PV and hybridsystems are used. Hybrid systems are powered by <strong>the</strong> sun whentable 9.1: typical type and size of applications per market segmentMARKET SEGMENTTYPE OF APPLICATIONRESIDENTIAL< 10 kWpCOMMERCIAL10 kWp - 100 kWpINDUSTRIAL100 kWp - 1 MWpUTILITY-SCALE> 1 MWpGround-mountedRoof-topIntegrated to facade/roof-••-••••-•236

REDONDO/GPit is available and by o<strong>the</strong>r fuel sources during <strong>the</strong> night andextended cloudy periods. Off-grid industrial systems provide acost-effective way to bring power to areas that are very remotefrom existing grids. The high cost of installing cabling makesoff-grid solar power an economical choice.Consumer goods: PV cells are now found in many everydayelectrical appliances such as watches, calculators, toys, andbattery chargers (for instance embedded in clo<strong>the</strong>s and bags).Services such as water sprinklers, road signs, lighting andtelephone boxes also often rely on individual PV systems.Hybrid Systems: A solar system can be combined with ano<strong>the</strong>rsource of power – e.g. a biomass generator, a wind turbine ordiesel generator - to ensure a consistent supply of electricity. Ahybrid system can be grid connected, stand alone or grid support.9.3.2 concentrating solar power (CSP)The majority of <strong>the</strong> world’s electricity today—whe<strong>the</strong>r generated bycoal, gas, nuclear, oil or biomass—comes from creating a hot fluid.Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technologies produce electricityby concentrating direct-beam solar irradiance to heat a liquid, solidor gas that is <strong>the</strong>n used in a downstream process for electricitygeneration. CSP simply provides an alternative heat source.Thus, CSP plants, also called solar <strong>the</strong>rmal power plants, produceelectricity in much <strong>the</strong> same way as conventional power stations.They obtain <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>energy</strong> input by concentrating solar radiationand converting it to high temperature steam or gas to drive aturbine or motor engine. Large mirrors concentrate sunlight intoa single line or point. The heat created <strong>the</strong>re is used to generatesteam. This hot, highly pressurised steam is used to powerturbines which generate electricity. In sun-drenched regions, CSPplants can guarantee a large proportion of electricity production.An attraction of this technology is that it builds on much of <strong>the</strong>current know-how on power generation in <strong>the</strong> world today. It willbenefit from ongoing advances in solar concentrator technologyand as improvements continue to be made in steam and gasturbine cycles.Some of <strong>the</strong> key advantages of CSP include:• it can be installed in a range of capacities to suit varyingapplications and conditions, from tens of kW (dish/Stirlingsystems) to multiple MWs (tower and trough systems)• it can integrate <strong>the</strong>rmal storage for peaking loads (less thanone hour) and intermediate loads (three to six hours) or baseload (15-20 hours) just as required by demand• it has modular and scalable components,• it does not require exotic materials.• hybrid operation with biomass or fossil fuel guarantees firmand flexible power capacity on demand.SystemsAll systems require four main elements: a concentrator, a receiver,some form of transfer medium or storage and power conversion.Many different types of system are possible, including combinationswith o<strong>the</strong>r renewable and non-renewable technologies, but <strong>the</strong>re arefour main groups of solar <strong>the</strong>rmal technologies:Parabolic trough: Parabolic trough plants use rows of parabolictrough collectors, each of which reflect <strong>the</strong> solar radiation intoan absorber tube. The troughs track <strong>the</strong> Sun around one axis,typically oriented north-south. Syn<strong>the</strong>tic oil circulates through<strong>the</strong> tubes, heating up to approximately 400°C. The hot oil fromnumerous rows of troughs is passed through a heat exchanger togenerate steam for a conventional steam turbine generator togenerate electricity. Some of <strong>the</strong> plants under construction havebeen designed to produce power not only during sunny hours butalso to store <strong>energy</strong>, allowing <strong>the</strong> plant to produce an additional7.5 hours of nominal power after sunset, which dramaticallyimproves <strong>the</strong>ir integration into <strong>the</strong> grid. Molten salts are normallyused as storage fluid in a hot-and-cold two-tank concept. Plantsin operation in Europe: Andasol 1 and 2 (50 MW +7.5 hourstorage each); Puertollano (50 MW); Alvarado (50 MW) andExtresol 1 (50 MW + 7.5 hour storage). Land requirements areof <strong>the</strong> order of 2 km 2 for a 100-MWe plant, depending on <strong>the</strong>collector technology and assuming no storage is provided.Linear Fresnel Systems: Collectors resemble parabolic troughs,with a similar power generation technology, using long lines offlat or nearly flat Fresnel reflectors to form a field of horizontallymounted flat mirror strips, collectively or individually tracking <strong>the</strong>sun. These are cheaper to install than trough systems but not asefficient. There is one plant currently in operation in Europe:Puerto Errado (2 MW).Central receiver or solar tower: Central receivers (or “powertowers”) are point-focus collectors that are able to generatemuch higher temperatures than troughs and linear Fresnelreflectors. This technology uses a circular array of mirrors(heliostats) where each mirror tracks <strong>the</strong> Sun, reflecting <strong>the</strong> lightonto a fixed receiver on top of a tower. Temperatures of morethan 1,000°C can be reached. A heat-transfer medium absorbs<strong>the</strong> highly concentrated radiation reflected by <strong>the</strong> heliostats andconverts it into <strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> to be used for <strong>the</strong> subsequentgeneration of superheated steam for turbine operation. To date,<strong>the</strong> heat transfer media demonstrated include water/steam,molten salts, liquid sodium and air. If pressurised gas or air isused at very high temperatures of about 1,000°C or more as <strong>the</strong>heat transfer medium, it can even be used to directly replacenatural gas in a gas turbine, thus making use of <strong>the</strong> excellentefficiency (60%+) of modern gas and steam combined cycles.9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES237


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESAfter an intermediate scaling up to 30 MW capacity, solar towerdevelopers now feel confident that grid-connected tower powerplants can be built up to a capacity of 200 MWe solar-only units.Use of heat storage will increase <strong>the</strong>ir flexibility. Although solartower plants are considered to be fur<strong>the</strong>r from commercialisationthan parabolic trough systems, <strong>the</strong>y have good longer-termprospects for high conversion efficiencies. Projects are beingdeveloped in Spain, South Africa and Australia.Parabolic dish: A dish-shaped reflector is used to concentratesunlight on to a receiver located at its focal point. The receivermoves with <strong>the</strong> dish. The concentrated beam radiation is absorbedinto <strong>the</strong> receiver to heat a fluid or gas to approximately 750°C.This is <strong>the</strong>n used to generate electricity in a small piston, Stirlingengine or micro turbine attached to <strong>the</strong> receiver. Dishes have beenused to power Stirling engines up to 900°C, and also for steamgeneration. The largest solar dishes have a 485-m 2 aperture andare in research facilities or demonstration plants. Currently <strong>the</strong>capacity of each Stirling engine is small — in <strong>the</strong> order of 10 to25 kWelectric. There is now significant operational experience withdish/Stirling engine systems and <strong>the</strong> technology has been underdevelopment for many years, with advances in dish structures,high-temperature receivers, use of hydrogen as <strong>the</strong> circulatingworking fluid, as well as some experiments with liquid metals andimprovements in Stirling engines — all bringing <strong>the</strong> technologycloser to commercial deployment. Although <strong>the</strong> individual unit sizemay only be of <strong>the</strong> order of tens of kWe, power stations of up to800 MWe have been proposed by aggregating many modules.Because each dish represents a stand-alone electricity generator,<strong>the</strong>re is great flexibility in <strong>the</strong> capacity and rate at which units areinstalled to <strong>the</strong> grid. However, <strong>the</strong> dish technology is less likely tointegrate <strong>the</strong>rmal storage. The potential of parabolic dishes liesprimarily for decentralised power supply and remote, stand-alonepower systems. Projects are currently planned in <strong>the</strong> UnitedStates, Australia and Europe.Thermal Storage: Thermal <strong>energy</strong> storage integrated into a systemis an important attribute of CSP. Until recently, this has beenprimarily for operational purposes, providing 30 minutes to onehour of full-load storage. This eases <strong>the</strong> impact of <strong>the</strong>rmaltransients such as clouds on <strong>the</strong> plant, assists start-up and shutdown,and provides benefits to <strong>the</strong> grid. Trough plants are nowdesigned for 6 to 7.5 hours of storage, which is enough to allowoperation well into <strong>the</strong> evening when peak demand can occur andtariffs are high.In <strong>the</strong>rmal storage, <strong>the</strong> heat from <strong>the</strong> solar field is stored beforereaching <strong>the</strong> turbine. The solar field needs to be oversized so thatenough heat can be supplied to both operate <strong>the</strong> turbine during<strong>the</strong> day and, charge <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>rmal storage. Thermal storage forCSP systems needs to be generally between 400°C and 600°C,higher than <strong>the</strong> temperature of <strong>the</strong> working fluid. Temperaturesare also dictated by <strong>the</strong> limits of <strong>the</strong> media available. Examplesof storage media include molten salt (presently comprisingseparate hot and cold tanks), steam accumulators (for short-termstorage only), solid ceramic particles, high-temperature phasechangematerials, graphite, and high-temperature concrete. Theheat can <strong>the</strong>n be drawn from <strong>the</strong> storage to generate steam for aturbine, when needed. Ano<strong>the</strong>r type of storage associated withhigh-temperature CSP is <strong>the</strong>rmochemical storage, where solar<strong>energy</strong> is stored chemically. Trough plants in Spain are nowoperating with molten-salt storage. In <strong>the</strong> USA, Abengoa Solar’s280-MW Solana trough project, planned to be operational by2013, intends to integrate six hours of <strong>the</strong>rmal storage. Towers,with <strong>the</strong>ir higher temperatures, can charge and store molten saltmore efficiently. Gemasolar, a 19-MWe solar tower projectoperating in Spain, is designed for 15 hours of storage, giving a75% annual capacity factor (Arce et al., 2011).figures 9.3: csp technologies: parabolic trough, central receiver/solar tower and parabolic dishPARABOLICTROUGHCENTRAL RECEIVERPARABOLIC DISHCENTRAL RECEIVERREFLECTORREFLECTORRECEIVER/ENGINEABSORBER TUBEHELIOSTATSSOLAR FIELD PIPING238

PETERSEN/DREAMSTIMEbox 9.2: centralised CSPCentralised CSP benefits from <strong>the</strong> economies of scaleoffered by large-scale plants. Based on conventional steamand gas turbine cycles, much of <strong>the</strong> technological know-howof large power station design and practice is already inplace. While larger capacity has significant cost benefits, ithas also tended to be an inhibitor until recently because of<strong>the</strong> much larger investment commitment required frominvestors. In addition, larger power stations require stronginfrastructural support, and new or augmented transmissioncapacity may be needed. The earliest commercial CSP plantswere <strong>the</strong> 354 MW of Solar Electric Generating Stations inCalifornia — deployed between 1985 and 1991 — thatcontinue to operate commercially today. As a result of <strong>the</strong>positive experiences and lessons learned from <strong>the</strong>se earlyplants, <strong>the</strong> trough systems tend to be <strong>the</strong> technology mostoften applied today as <strong>the</strong> CSP industry grows. In Spain,regulations to date have mandated that <strong>the</strong> largest capacityunit that can be installed is 50 MWe to help stimulateindustry competition. In <strong>the</strong> USA, this limitation does notexist, and proposals are in place for much larger plants —280 MWe in <strong>the</strong> case of troughs and 400 MWe plants(made up of four modules) based on towers. There arepresently two operational solar towers of 10 and 20 MWe,and all tower developers plan to increase capacity in linewith technology development, regulations and investmentcapital. Multiple dishes have also been proposed as a sourceof aggregated heat, ra<strong>the</strong>r than distributed-generationStirling or Brayton units. CSP or PV electricity can also beused to power reverse-osmosis plants for desalination.Dedicated CSP desalination cycles based on pressure andtemperature are also being developed for desalination.9.3.3 wind powerWind <strong>energy</strong> has grown faster than all o<strong>the</strong>r electricity sources in<strong>the</strong> last 20 years and turbine technology has advanced sufficiencythat a single machine can power about 5,000 homes. In Europe,wind farms are generally well integrated into <strong>the</strong> environment andaccepted by <strong>the</strong> public. Smaller models can produce electricity forareas that are not connected to a central grid, through use ofbattery storage.Wind speeds and patterns are good enough for this technology onall continents, on both coastlines and inland. The wind resource outat sea is particularly productive and is now being harnessed byoffshore wind parks with foundations embedded in <strong>the</strong> ocean floor.Wind turbine design: Modern wind technology is available for lowand high wind speeds, and in a variety of climates. A variety ofonshore wind turbine configurations have been investigated,including both horizontal and vertical axis designs (see Figure9.4 below). Now, <strong>the</strong> horizontal axis design dominates, and mostdesigns now centre on <strong>the</strong> three-blade, upwind rotor; locating<strong>the</strong> turbine blades upwind of <strong>the</strong> tower prevents <strong>the</strong> towerfrom blocking wind flow and avoids extra aerodynamic noiseand loading. 899<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESfigure 9.4: early wind turbine designs, including horizontal and vertical axis turbinesHORIZONTAL AXIS TURBINESVERTICAL AXIS TURBINESreference89 EWEA.239


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9The blades are attached to a hub and main shaft, which transferspower to a generator, sometimes via a gearbox, depending ondesign, to a generator. The electricity output is channelled down<strong>the</strong> tower to a transformer and eventually into <strong>the</strong> local gridnetwork. The main shaft and main bearings, gearbox, generatorand control system are contained within a housing called <strong>the</strong>nacelle (Figure 9.5).Turbine size has increased over time and <strong>the</strong> turbine output iscontrolled by pitching (i.e., rotating) <strong>the</strong> blades along <strong>the</strong>ir longaxis. 90 Reduced cost of power electronics allows variable speedwind turbine operation which helps maintain production in variableand gusty winds and also keep large wind power plants generatingduring electrical faults, and providing reactive power.Modern wind turbines typically operate at variable speeds usingfull-span blade pitch control. Over <strong>the</strong> past 30 years, averagewind turbine size has grown significantly (Figure 9.6), with <strong>the</strong>largest fraction of onshore wind turbines installed <strong>global</strong>ly in2011 having a rated capacity of 3.5 to 7.5 MW; <strong>the</strong> average sizeof turbines installed in 2011 was around 2–2.5 MW.As of 2010, wind turbines used on land typically have 50 to100 m high towers, with rotors between 50 to 100 m in diameter.Some commercial machines have diameters and tower heightsabove 125 m, and even larger models are being developed.Modern turbines spin at 12 to 20 <strong>revolution</strong>s per minute (RPM),which is much slower than <strong>the</strong> models from <strong>the</strong> 1980s modelswhich spun at 60 RPM. Later rotors are slower, less visuallydisruptive and less noisy.Onshore wind turbines are typically grouped toge<strong>the</strong>r into windpower plants, with between 5-300 MW generating capacity, andare sometimes also called wind farms. Turbines have been gettinglarger to help reduce <strong>the</strong> cost of generation (reach better qualitywind), reduce investment per unit of capacity and reduceoperation and maintenance costs. 91For turbines on land, <strong>the</strong>re will be engineering and logisticalconstraints to size because <strong>the</strong> components have to travel by road.Modern wind turbines have nearly reached <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>the</strong>oreticalmaximum of aerodynamic efficiency, measured by <strong>the</strong> coefficient ofperformance (0.44 in <strong>the</strong> 1980s to about 0.50 by <strong>the</strong> mid 2000s).<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESfigure 9.5: basic components of a modern,horizontal axis wind turbine with a gearbox4152 637figure 9.6: growth in size of typical commercialwind turbinesH: HUB HEIGHTD: DIAMETER OF THE ROTOR5,000kWROTORDIAMETER20,000kWSWEPT AREAOF BLADESPITCH8750kW1,800kWHUB HEIGHT75kWTRANSFORMER1.

By <strong>the</strong> endof 2009, <strong>global</strong> installed wind power capacity 2,100 MW. 92By going offshore, wind <strong>energy</strong> can use stronger winds andprovide clean <strong>energy</strong> to countries where <strong>the</strong>re is less technicalpotential for land-based wind <strong>energy</strong> development or where itwould be in conflict with o<strong>the</strong>r land uses. Offshore wind <strong>energy</strong>also makes use lower ‘shear’ near hub height and greatereconomies of scale from large turbines that can be transportedby ship. Offshore wind farms also reduce <strong>the</strong> need for new, longdistance,land-based transmission infrastructure that wind farmson land can require. 93There is considerable interest in offshore wind <strong>energy</strong> technologyin <strong>the</strong> EU and, increasingly in o<strong>the</strong>r regions, despite <strong>the</strong> typicallyhigher costs relative to onshore wind <strong>energy</strong>.Offshore wind turbines built between 2007 and 2009 typicallyhave nameplate capacity ratings of 2 to 5 MW and largerturbines are under development. Offshore wind power plantsinstalled from 2007 to 2009 were typically 20 to 120 MW insize, and often installed in water between 10 and 20 m deep.Distance to shore is mostly less than 20 km, but average distancehas increased over time. 94 Offshore wind is likely to be installed atgreater depths, and with larger turbines (5 to 10 MW or larger)as experience is gained and for greater economies of scale.Offshore wind turbine technology has been very similar toonshore designs, with some structural modifications and withspecial foundations. 95 O<strong>the</strong>r design features include marinenavigational equipment and monitoring and infrastructure tominimise expensive servicing.9.3.4 biomass <strong>energy</strong>Biomass is a broad term used to describe material of recentbiological origin that can be used as a source of <strong>energy</strong>. Thisincludes wood, crops, algae and o<strong>the</strong>r plants as well asagricultural and forest residues. Biomass can be used for avariety of end uses: heating, electricity generation or as fuel fortransportation. The term ‘bio <strong>energy</strong>’ is used for biomass <strong>energy</strong>systems that produce heat and/or electricity and ‘biofuels’ forliquid fuels used in transport. Biodiesel manufactured fromvarious crops has become increasingly used as vehicle fuel,especially as <strong>the</strong> cost of oil has risen.Biological power sources are renewable, easily stored and, ifsustainably harvested, CO2 neutral. This is because <strong>the</strong> gasemitted during <strong>the</strong>ir transfer into useful <strong>energy</strong> is balanced by <strong>the</strong>carbon dioxide absorbed when <strong>the</strong>y were growing plants.Electricity generating biomass power plants work just like naturalgas or coal power stations, except that <strong>the</strong> fuel must be processedbefore it can be burned. These power plants are generally not aslarge as coal power stations because <strong>the</strong>ir fuel supply needs togrow as near as possible to <strong>the</strong> plant. Heat generation frombiomass power plants can result ei<strong>the</strong>r from utilising a CombinedHeat and Power (CHP) system, piping <strong>the</strong> heat to nearby homesor industry, or through dedicated heating systems. Small heatingsystems using specially produced pellets made from waste wood,for example, can be used to heat single family homes instead ofnatural gas or oil.Biomass technologyA number of processes can be used to convert <strong>energy</strong> frombiomass. These divide into <strong>the</strong>rmochemical processes (directcombustion of solids, liquids or a gas via pyrolysis orgasification), and biological systems, (decomposition of solidbiomass to liquid or gaseous fuels by processes such as anaerobicdigestion and fermentation).Thermochemical processes: Direct combustion Direct biomasscombustion is <strong>the</strong> most common way of converting biomass into<strong>energy</strong> for both heat and electricity, accounting for over 90% ofbiomass generation. Combustion processes are well understood, inessence when carbon and hydrogen in <strong>the</strong> fuel react with excessoxygen to form CO2 and water and release heat. In rural areas,many forms are biomass are burned for cooking. Wood andcharcoal are also used as a fuel in industry. A wide range ofexisting commercial technologies are tailored to <strong>the</strong>characteristics of <strong>the</strong> biomass and <strong>the</strong> scale of <strong>the</strong>ir applications.Technologies types are fixed bed, fluidised bed or entrained flowcombustion. In fixed bed combustion, such as a grate furnace, airfirst passes through a fixed bed for drying, gasification andcharcoal combustion. The combustible gases produced are burnedafter <strong>the</strong> addition of secondary air, usually in a zone separatedfrom <strong>the</strong> fuel bed. In fluidised bed combustion, <strong>the</strong> primarycombustion air is injected from <strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> furnace withsuch high velocity that <strong>the</strong> material inside <strong>the</strong> furnace becomes aseething mass of particles and bubbles. Entrained flowcombustion is suitable for fuels available as small particles, suchas sawdust or fine shavings, which are pneumatically injected into<strong>the</strong> furnace.9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESreferences92 GWEC, 2010A.93 CARBON TRUST, 2008B; SNYDER AND KAISER, 2009B; TWIDELL AND GAUDIOSI, 2009.94 (EWEA, 2010A).95 MUSIAL, 2007; CARBON TRUST, 2008B.241


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESGasification Biomass fuels are increasingly being used withadvanced conversion technologies, such as gasification systems,which are more efficient than conventional power generation.Biomass gasification occurs when a partial oxidation of biomasshappens upon heating. This produces a combustible gas mixture(called producer gas or fuel gas) rich in CO and hydrogen (H2)that has an <strong>energy</strong> content of 5 to 20 MJ/Nm 3 (depending on <strong>the</strong>type of biomass and whe<strong>the</strong>r gasification is conducted with air,oxygen or through indirect heating). This <strong>energy</strong> content isroughly 10 to 45% of <strong>the</strong> heating value of natural gas.Fuel gas can <strong>the</strong>n be upgraded to a higher-quality gas mixturecalled biomass syn<strong>the</strong>sis gas or syngas. 96 A gas turbine, a boiler ora steam turbine are options to employ unconverted gas fractionsfor electricity co-production. Coupled with electricity generators,syngas can be used as a fuel in place of diesel in suitably designedor adapted internal combustion engines. Most commonly availablegasifiers use wood or woody biomass, Specially designed gasifierscan convert non-woody biomass materials. 97 Compared tocombustion, gasification is more efficient, providing bettercontrolled heating, higher efficiencies in power production and <strong>the</strong>possibility for co-producing chemicals and fuels. 98 Gasification canalso decrease emission levels compared to power production withdirect combustion and a steam cycle.Pyrolysis Pyrolysis is <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>rmal decomposition of biomassoccurring in <strong>the</strong> absence of oxygen (anaerobic environment) thatproduces a solid (charcoal), a liquid (pyrolysis oil or bio-oil) and agas product. The relative amounts of <strong>the</strong> three co-products dependon <strong>the</strong> operating temperature and <strong>the</strong> residence time used in <strong>the</strong>process. Lower temperatures produce more solid and liquidproducts and higher temperatures more biogas. Heating <strong>the</strong>biomass feedstocks to moderate temperatures (450°C to 550°C)produce oxygenated oils as <strong>the</strong> major products (70 to 80%), with<strong>the</strong> remainder split between a biochar and gases.figure 9.7: biogas technology11.

WASTE CONTAINMENT234 5 6Biological systems: These processes are suitable for very wetbiomass materials such as food or agricultural wastes, includingfarm animal slurry.Anaerobic digestion Anaerobic digestion means <strong>the</strong> breakdown oforganic waste by bacteria in an oxygen-free environment. Thisproduces a biogas typically made up of 65% methane and 35%carbon dioxide. Purified biogas can <strong>the</strong>n be used both for heatingand electricity generation.Fermentation Fermentation is <strong>the</strong> process by which growing plantswith a high sugar and starch content are broken down with <strong>the</strong>help of micro-organisms to produce ethanol and methanol. The endproduct is a combustible fuel that can be used in vehicles.Biomass power station capacities typically range up to 15 MW, butlarger plants are possible. However bio mass power station shoulduse <strong>the</strong> heat as well, in order to use <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> of <strong>the</strong> biomass asmuch as possible, and <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong> size should not be much largerthan 25 MW (electric). This size could be supplied by local bio<strong>energy</strong> and avoid unsustainable long distance fuel supply.Biofuels Converting crops into ethanol and bio diesel made fromrapeseed methyl ester (RME) currently takes place mainly inBrazil, <strong>the</strong> USA and Europe. Processes for obtaining syn<strong>the</strong>ticfuels from ‘biogenic syn<strong>the</strong>sis’ gases will also play a larger role in<strong>the</strong> future. Theoretically biofuels can be produced from anybiological carbon source, although <strong>the</strong> most common arephotosyn<strong>the</strong>tic plants. Various plants and plant-derived materialsare used for biofuel production.Globally biofuels are most commonly used to power vehicles, butcan also be used for o<strong>the</strong>r purposes. The production and use ofbiofuels must result in a net reduction in carbon emissionscompared to <strong>the</strong> use of traditional fossil fuels to have a positiveeffect in climate change mitigation. Sustainable biofuels canreduce <strong>the</strong> dependency on petroleum and <strong>the</strong>reby enhance<strong>energy</strong> security.• Bio ethanol is a fuel manufactured through <strong>the</strong> fermentation ofsugars. This is done by accessing sugars directly (sugar cane orbeet) or by breaking down starch in grains such as wheat, rye,barley or maize. In <strong>the</strong> European Union bio ethanol is mainlyproduced from grains, with wheat as <strong>the</strong> dominant feedstock. InBrazil <strong>the</strong> preferred feedstock is sugar cane, whereas in <strong>the</strong>USA it is corn (maize). Bio ethanol produced from cereals hasa by-product, a protein-rich animal feed called Dried DistillersGrains with Solubles (DDGS). For every tonne of cereals usedfor ethanol production, on average one third will enter <strong>the</strong>animal feed stream as DDGS. Because of its high protein levelthis is currently used as a replacement for soy cake. Bioethanol can ei<strong>the</strong>r be blended into gasoline (petrol) directly orbe used in <strong>the</strong> form of ETBE (Ethyl Tertiary Butyl E<strong>the</strong>r).242references96 FAAIJ, 2006.97 YOKOYAMA AND MATSUMURA, 2008.98 KIRKELS AND VERBONG, 2011).

FORTE• Bio diesel is a fuel produced from vegetable oil sourced fromrapeseed, sunflower seeds or soybeans as well as used cookingoils or animal fats. If used vegetable oils are recycled asfeedstock for bio diesel production this can reduce pollutionfrom discarded oil and provides a new way of transforming awaste product into transport <strong>energy</strong>. Blends of bio diesel andconventional hydrocarbon-based diesel are <strong>the</strong> most commonproducts distributed in <strong>the</strong> retail transport fuel market.• Most countries use a labelling system to explain <strong>the</strong> proportionof bio diesel in any fuel mix. Fuel containing 20% biodiesel islabelled B20, while pure bio diesel is referred to as B100.Blends of 20 % bio diesel with 80 % petroleum diesel (B20)can generally be used in unmodified diesel engines. Used in itspure form (B100) an engine may require certain modifications.Bio diesel can also be used as a heating fuel in domestic andcommercial boilers. Older furnaces may contain rubber partsthat would be affected by bio diesel’s solvent properties, butcan o<strong>the</strong>rwise burn it without any conversion.The amount of bio <strong>energy</strong> used in this report is based on bio <strong>energy</strong>potential surveys which are drawn from existing studies, but notnecessarily reflecting all <strong>the</strong> ecological assumptions thatGreenpeace would use. For more details see Chapter 8, page 212.9.3.5 geo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong>Geo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> is heat derived from underneath <strong>the</strong> earth’scrust. In most areas, this heat is generated a long way down andhas mostly dissipated by <strong>the</strong> time it reaches <strong>the</strong> surface, but insome places <strong>the</strong> geo<strong>the</strong>rmal resources are relatively close to <strong>the</strong>surface and can be used as non-polluting sources of <strong>energy</strong>. These“hotspots” include <strong>the</strong> western part of <strong>the</strong> USA, west and centralEastern Europe, Iceland, Asia and New Zealand.The uses of geo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> depend on <strong>the</strong> temperatures. Lowand moderate areas temperature areas at (less than 90°C orbetween 90°C and 150°C) can be used for <strong>the</strong>ir heat directly and<strong>the</strong> highest temperature resources (above 150°C) is suitable onlyfor electric power generation. Today’s total <strong>global</strong> geo<strong>the</strong>rmalgeneration is approximately 10,700 MW, with nearly one-third inUSA (over 3,000 MW), and <strong>the</strong> next biggest share in Philippines(1,900 MW) and Indonesia (1,200 MW).injection wells, sometimes via ano<strong>the</strong>r system to use <strong>the</strong> remainingheat.

Hot waterproduced from intermediate-temperature hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal orEnhanced Geo<strong>the</strong>rmal Systems (EGS) reservoirs can also be usedin heat exchangers to generate power in a binary cycle, or in directuse applications. Recovered fluids are also injected back into <strong>the</strong>reservoir. 99 Key technologies are:Exploration and drilling includes estimating where <strong>the</strong> resource is,its size and depth with geophysical methods and <strong>the</strong>n drillingexploration wells to test <strong>the</strong> resource. Today, geo<strong>the</strong>rmal wells aredrilled over a range of depths down to 5 km using methodssimilar to those used for oil and gas. Advances in exploration anddrilling can technology can be expected. For example if severalwells are drilled from <strong>the</strong> same pad, it can access more heatresources and minimise <strong>the</strong> surface impact. 100Reservoir engineering is focused on determining <strong>the</strong> volume ofgeo<strong>the</strong>rmal resource and <strong>the</strong> optimal plant size. The optimum hasto consider sustainable use of <strong>the</strong> resources and safe and efficientoperation. The modern method of estimating reserves and sizingpower plants through ‘reservoir simulation’ – a process that startswith a conceptual model followed by a calibrated, numericalrepresentation. 101 Then future behaviour is forecast under selectedload conditions using an algorithm (e.g., TOUGH2) to select <strong>the</strong>plant size.

The power units are usually 20 to 110MWe 102 , and may utilise a multiple flash system, obtaining steamsuccessively lower pressures, to get as much <strong>energy</strong> as possiblefrom <strong>the</strong> geo<strong>the</strong>rmal fluid. A dry-steam plant does not requirebrine separation, resulting in a simpler and cheaper design.• Binary-cycle plants, typically organic Rankine cycle (ORC) units,typically extract heat from low- and intermediate-temperaturegeo<strong>the</strong>rmal fluids from hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal- and EGS-type reservoirs.Binary plants are more complex than condensing ones since <strong>the</strong>geo<strong>the</strong>rmal fluid (water, steam or both) passes through a heatexchanger to heat ano<strong>the</strong>r working fluid (e.g. isopentane orisobutene) which vaporises, drives a turbine, and <strong>the</strong>n is aircooled or condensed with water. Binary plants are oftenconstructed as smaller, linked modular units (a few MWe each).• Combined or hybrid plants comprise two or more of <strong>the</strong> abovebasic types to improve versatility, increase overall <strong>the</strong>rmalefficiency, improve load-following capability, and efficientlycover a wide resource temperature range.9figure 9.9: schematic diagram of a geo<strong>the</strong>rmal condensing steam power plant (top) and a binary cycle power plant (bottom)<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESSteamWaterProduction WellSeparatorSteamWaterInjection WellTurbo GeneratorCondenserWater PumpCooling TowerCooling TowerHeat ExchangerHeat ExchangerTurbo GeneratorSteamWaterFeed PumpWater PumpsourceProduction WellInjection WellIPCC 2012: SPECIAL REPORT ON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION.PREPARED BY WORKING GROUP III OF THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE,CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS.references102 DIPIPPO, 2008.244

GOUGH/DREAMSTIME• Cogeneration plants, or combined or cascaded heat and powerplants (CHP), produce both electricity and hot water for directuse. They can be used in relatively small industries andcommunities of a few thousand people. Iceland for example,has three geo<strong>the</strong>rmal runs geo<strong>the</strong>rmal cogeneration plants witha combined capacity of 580 MWth. 103 At <strong>the</strong> Oregon Instituteof Technology, a CHP plant provides most of <strong>the</strong> electricityneeds and all <strong>the</strong> heat demand. 104Enhanced Geo<strong>the</strong>rmal Systems (EGS): In some areas, <strong>the</strong>subsurface regions are ‘stimulated’ to make use of geo<strong>the</strong>rmal<strong>energy</strong> for power generation. This means making a reservoir bycreating or enhancing a network of fractures in <strong>the</strong> rockunderground. This allows fluid to move between <strong>the</strong> injection pointand where power is produced (production wells) (see Figurebelow 9.10). Heat is extracted by circulating water through <strong>the</strong>reservoir in a closed loop and can be used for power generationor heating via <strong>the</strong> technologies described above. Recentlydeveloped models provide insights useful for geo<strong>the</strong>rmalexploration and production. EGS projects are currently at ademonstration and experimental stage in a number of countries.The technology’s key challenges are creating enough reservoirswith sufficient volumes for commercial rates of <strong>energy</strong>production, while taking care of <strong>the</strong> water resources and avoidinginstability of <strong>the</strong> earth or seismicity (earthquake activity). 105 9figure 9.10: scheme showing conductive EGS resourcesHeatExchangerMonitoringWellReservoirMonitoringInjectionWellRechangeReservoirProductionWellsCoolingUnitORC orKalinaCycleMonitoringWellPowerDistrictHeating<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES3 km to 10 kmEnhancedReservoirsourceIPCC 2012: SPECIAL REPORT ON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES ANDCLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES9.3.6 hydro powerWater has been used to produce electricity for about a centuryand even today it is used to generate around one fifth of <strong>the</strong>world’s electricity. The main requirement for hydro power is tocreate an artificial head of water, that when it is diverted into achannel or pipe it has sufficient <strong>energy</strong> to power a turbine.Classification by head and sizeThe ‘head’ in hydro power refers to <strong>the</strong> difference between <strong>the</strong>upstream and <strong>the</strong> downstream water levels, determining <strong>the</strong> waterpressure on <strong>the</strong> turbines which, along with discharge, decide whattype of hydraulic turbine is used. The classification of ‘high head’and ‘low head’ varies from country to country, and <strong>the</strong>re is nogenerally accepted scale.Broadly, Pelton impulse turbines are used for high heads (where ajet of water hits a turbine and reverses direction), Francis reactionturbines are used to exploit medium heads (which run full of waterand in effect generate hydrodynamic ‘lift’ to propel <strong>the</strong> turbineblades) and for low heads, Kaplan and Bulb turbines are applied.Classification according to refers to installed capacity measuredin MW. Small-scale hydropower plants are more likely to be runof-riverfacilities than are larger hydropower plants, but reservoir(storage) hydropower stations of all sizes use <strong>the</strong> same basiccomponents and technologies. It typically takes less time andeffort to construct and integrate small hydropower schemes intolocal environments 106 so <strong>the</strong>ir deployment is increasing in manyparts of <strong>the</strong> world. Small schemes are often considered in remoteareas where o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>energy</strong> sources are not viable or are noteconomically attractive.figure 9.11: run-of-river hydropower plantHeadraceDesiltingTankIntakeDiversionWeirGreenpeace supports <strong>the</strong> sustainability criteria developed by<strong>the</strong> International Rivers Network (www.internationalrivers.org)Classification by facility typeHydropower plants are also classified in <strong>the</strong> following categoriesaccording to operation and type of flow:• run-of-river• storage (reservoir)• pumped storage, and• in-stream technology, which is a young andless-developed technology.Run-of-River: These plants draw <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> for electricity mainlyfrom <strong>the</strong> available flow of <strong>the</strong> river and do not collect significantamounts of stored water. They may include some short-termstorage (hourly, daily), but <strong>the</strong> generation profile will generally bedictated by local river flow conditions. Because generationdepends on rainfall it may have substantial daily, monthly orseasonal variations, especially when located in small rivers orstreams that with widely varying flows. In a typical plant, aportion of <strong>the</strong> river water might be diverted to a channel orpipeline (penstock) to convey <strong>the</strong> water to a hydraulic turbine,which is connected to an electricity generator (see Figure 9.11).RoR projects may form cascades along a river valley, often with areservoir-type hydro power plants in <strong>the</strong> upper reaches of <strong>the</strong>valley. Run-of-river installation is relatively inexpensive andfacilities typically have fewer environmental impacts than similarsizedstorage hydropower plants.figure 9.12: typical hydropower plant with resevoirForebayDamPenstockPenstockPowerhousePowerhouseSwitch YardTailraceStreamTailracesourceIPCC 2012: SPECIAL REPORT ON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION.PREPARED BY WORKING GROUP III OF THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE,CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS.sourceIPCC 2012: SPECIAL REPORT ON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION.PREPARED BY WORKING GROUP III OF THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE,CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS.reference106 EGRE AND MILEWSKI, 2002246

KATRAGADDA/GP© GP/VIVEK MStorage Hydropower: Hydropower projects with a reservoir arealso called storage hydropower. The reservoir reduces dependenceon <strong>the</strong> variability of inflow and <strong>the</strong> generating stations arelocated at <strong>the</strong> dam toe or fur<strong>the</strong>r downstream, connected to <strong>the</strong>reservoir through tunnels or pipelines. (Figure 9.12). Reservoirsare designed according to <strong>the</strong> landscape and in many parts of <strong>the</strong>world river valleys are inundated to make an artificial lake. Ingeographies with mountain plateaus, high-altitude lakes make upano<strong>the</strong>r kind of reservoir that retains many of <strong>the</strong> properties of<strong>the</strong> original lake. In <strong>the</strong>se settings, <strong>the</strong> generating station is oftenconnected to <strong>the</strong> reservoir lake via tunnels (lake tapping). Forexample, in Scandinavia, natural high-altitude lakes create highpressure systems where <strong>the</strong> heads may reach over 1,000 m. Astorage power plant may have tunnels coming from severalreservoirs and may also be connected to neighbouring watershedsor rivers. Large hydroelectric power plants with concrete damsand extensive collecting lakes often have very negative effects on<strong>the</strong> environment, requiring <strong>the</strong> flooding of habitable areas.figure 9.13: typical pumped storage projectUpper ReservoirPumped storage: Pumped storage plants are not generatingelectricity but are <strong>energy</strong> storage devices. In such a system, wateris pumped from a lower reservoir into an upper reservoir (Figurebelow 9.13), usually during off-peak hours when electricity ischeap. The flow is reversed to generate electricity during <strong>the</strong> dailypeak load period or at o<strong>the</strong>r times of need. The plant is a net<strong>energy</strong> consumer overall, because it uses power to pump water,however <strong>the</strong> plant provides system benefits by helping to meetfluctuating demand profiles. Pumped storage is <strong>the</strong> largest-capacityform of grid <strong>energy</strong> storage now readily available worldwide.In-stream technology using existing facilities: To optimise existingfacilities like weirs, barrages, canals or falls, small turbines orhydrokinetic turbines can be installed for electricity generation.These basically function like a run-of-river scheme, as shown inFigure 9.14. Hydrokinetic devices are also being developed tocapture <strong>energy</strong> from tides and currents may also be deployedinland for free-flowing rivers and engineered waterways.Greenpeace does not support large hydro power stationswhich require large dams and flooding areas, but supportssmall scale run of river power plants.figure 9.14: typical in-stream hydropower project usingexisting facilitiesSpillwayDiversion Canal9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESPumpingGeneratingPumped StoragePower PlantIrrigation CanalSwitch YardLowerReservoirTailrace ChannelPowerhousesourceIPCC 2012: SPECIAL REPORT ON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION.PREPARED BY WORKING GROUP III OF THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE, CAMBRIDGEUNIVERSITY PRESS.sourceIPCC 2012: SPECIAL REPORT ON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION.PREPARED BY WORKING GROUP III OF THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE, CAMBRIDGEUNIVERSITY PRESS.247


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES9.3.7 ocean <strong>energy</strong>Wave <strong>energy</strong>In wave power generation, a structure interacts with <strong>the</strong> incomingwaves, converting this <strong>energy</strong> to electricity through a hydraulic,mechanical or pneumatic power take-off system. The structure ismoored or placed directly on <strong>the</strong> seabed/seashore. Power istransmitted to <strong>the</strong> seabed by a flexible submerged electrical cable andto shore by a sub-sea cable. Wave power can potentially provide apredictable supply of <strong>energy</strong> and does not create much visual impact.Many wave <strong>energy</strong> technologies are at an early phase ofconceptual development and testing. Power plants designs vary todeal with different wave motion (heaving, surging, pitching) waterdepths (deep, intermediate, shallow) and distance from shore(shoreline, nearshore, offshore).Shoreline devices are fixed to <strong>the</strong> coast or embedded in <strong>the</strong>shoreline, near shore devices work at depths of 20-25 m up to~500 m from <strong>the</strong> shore where <strong>the</strong>re are stronger, moreproductive waves and offshore devices exploit <strong>the</strong> more powerfulwaves in water over 25 m deep.No particular technology is leading for wave power and severaldifferent systems are being prototyped and tested at sea, with <strong>the</strong>most development being carried out in UK. The largest gridconnectedsystem installed to date is <strong>the</strong> 2.25 MW Pelamis, withlinked semi-submerged cylindrical sections, operating off <strong>the</strong>coast of Portugal.A generic scheme for characterising ocean wave <strong>energy</strong>generation devices consists of primary, secondary and tertiaryconversion stages 107 , which refer to <strong>the</strong> conversions of kineticfigure 9.15: wave <strong>energy</strong> technologies: classification based on principles of operationOSCILLATING WATER COLUMNshore-basedfloating<strong>energy</strong> (in water) to mechanical <strong>energy</strong>, and <strong>the</strong>n to electrical<strong>energy</strong> in <strong>the</strong> generator. Recent reviews have identified more than50 wave <strong>energy</strong> devices at various stages of development 108 , andwe have not explored <strong>the</strong> limits of size in practice.Utility-scale electricity generation from wave <strong>energy</strong> will requirearrays of devices, and like wind turbines, devices are likely to bechosen for specific site conditions. Wave power converters can bemade up from connected groups of smaller generator units of 100– 500 kW, or several mechanical or hydraulically interconnectedmodules can supply a single larger turbine generator unit of 2 – 20MW. However, large waves needed to make <strong>the</strong> technology morecost effective are mostly a long way from shore which wouldrequire costly sub-sea cables to transmit <strong>the</strong> power. The converters<strong>the</strong>mselves also take up large amounts of space.Wave <strong>energy</strong> systems may be categorised by <strong>the</strong>ir genus, locationand principle of operation as shown in Figure 9.15.Oscillating water columns use wave motion to induce differentpressure levels between <strong>the</strong> air-filled chamber and <strong>the</strong>atmosphere. 109 Air is pushed at high speed through an air turbinecoupled to an electrical generator (Figure 9.16), creating a pulsewhen <strong>the</strong> wave advances and recedes, as <strong>the</strong> air flows in twodirections. The air turbine rotates in <strong>the</strong> same direction, regardlessof <strong>the</strong> flow. A device can be a fixed structure above <strong>the</strong> breakingwaves (cliff-mounted or part of a breakwater), bottom mountednear shore or it can be a floating system moored in deeper waters.Oscillating-body systems use <strong>the</strong> incident wave motion to make twobodies move in oscillation; which is <strong>the</strong>n used to drive <strong>the</strong> powertake-off system. 110 They can be surface devices or, more rarely,fully submerged.

Lastly, <strong>the</strong>reare hinged devices, which sit on <strong>the</strong> seabed relatively close toshore and harness <strong>the</strong> horizontal surge <strong>energy</strong> of incoming waves.Overtopping devices: convert wave <strong>energy</strong> into potential <strong>energy</strong> bycollecting surging waves into a water reservoir at a level above<strong>the</strong> free water surface. 111 The reservoir drains down through aconventional low-head hydraulic turbine.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESTidal rangeTidal range hydropower has been tried in estuarine developmentswhere a barrage encloses an estuary, which creates a singlereservoir (basin) behind it with conventional low-head hydroturbines in <strong>the</strong> barrage. Alternative configurations of multiplebarrages have been proposed where basins are filled and emptiedat different times with turbines located between <strong>the</strong> basins. Multibasinschemes may offer more flexible power generationavailability than normal schemes, because <strong>the</strong>y could generatepower almost continuously.Recent developments focus on single or multiple offshore basins,away from estuaries, called ‘tidal lagoons’ which could providemore flexible capacity and output with little or no impact ondelicate estuarine environments. This technology usescommercially available systems and <strong>the</strong> conversion mechanismmost widely used to produce electricity from tidal range is <strong>the</strong>bulb-turbine. 113 Examples of power plants with bulb turbinestechnology include a 240 MW power plant at La Rance innor<strong>the</strong>rn France 114 and <strong>the</strong> 254 MW Sihwa Barrage in <strong>the</strong>Republic of Korea, which is nearing completion. 115Some favourable sites with very gradually sloping coastlines, arewell suited to tidal range power plants, such as <strong>the</strong> SevernEstuary between southwest England and South Wales. Currentfeasibility studies <strong>the</strong>re include options such as barrages and tidallagoons.The average capacity factor for tidal power stations hasbeen estimated from 22.5% to 35%. 116Tidal and ocean currentsA device can be fitted underwater to a column fixed to <strong>the</strong> seabed with a rotor to generate electricity from fast-movingcurrents, to capture <strong>energy</strong> from tidal currents. The technologiesthat extract kinetic <strong>energy</strong> from tidal and ocean currents areunder development, and tidal <strong>energy</strong> converters <strong>the</strong> most commonto date, designed to generate as <strong>the</strong> tide travels in bothdirections. Devices types are, such as axial-flow turbines, crossflowturbines and reciprocating devices Axial-flow turbines(Figure 9.20 see below) work on a horizontal axis whilst crossflowturbines may operate about a vertical axis (Figure 9.21 seebelow) or a horizontal axis with or without a shroud toaccentuate <strong>the</strong> flow.

Rotor shrouds (also known as cowlings orducts) can enhance hydrodynamic performance by increasing <strong>the</strong>speed of water through <strong>the</strong> rotor and reducing losses at <strong>the</strong> tips.Some technologies in <strong>the</strong> conceptual stage of development arebased on reciprocating devices incorporating hydrofoils or tidalsails. Two prototype oscillating devices have been trialled at opensea locations in <strong>the</strong> UK. 117The development of <strong>the</strong> tidal current resource will requiremultiple machines deployed in a similar fashion to a wind farm,and siting will need to take into account wake effects. 118Capturing <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> of open-ocean current systems is likely torequire <strong>the</strong> same basic technology as for tidal flows but withsome different infrastructure.

Heat can come from <strong>the</strong> sun (solar <strong>the</strong>rmal), <strong>the</strong> earth(geo<strong>the</strong>rmal), ambient heat and plant matter (biomass). Usingsolar heat for drying processes and or wood stoves for cookinghave been done for so long that <strong>the</strong>y labeled “traditional”, buttoday’s technologies are far from old-fashioned. Over <strong>the</strong> lastdecade <strong>the</strong>re have been improvements to a range of traditionalapplications many of which are already economical competitivewith fossil-fuel based technologies or starting to be.This chapter presents <strong>the</strong> current range of renewable heating andcooling technologies and gives a short outlook of <strong>the</strong> mostsophisticated technologies, integrating multiple suppliers andusers in heat networks or even across various renewable <strong>energy</strong>sources in integrated heating and cooling systems. Some of <strong>the</strong>emerging areas for this technology are building heating andcooling and industrial process heat.Solar Thermal TechnologiesSolar <strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> has been used for <strong>the</strong> production of heat forcenturies but has become more popular and developedcommercially for <strong>the</strong> last thirty years. Solar <strong>the</strong>rmal collectingsystems are based on a centuries-old principle: <strong>the</strong> sun heats upwater contained in a dark vessel.The technologies on <strong>the</strong> market now are efficient and highlyreliable, providing <strong>energy</strong> for a wide range of applications indomestic and commercial buildings, swimming pools, forindustrial process heat, in cooling and <strong>the</strong> desalination fordrinking water.Although mature products exist to provide domestic hot waterand space heating using solar <strong>energy</strong>, in most countries <strong>the</strong>y arenot yet <strong>the</strong> norm. A big step towards an Energy [R]evolution isintegrating solar <strong>the</strong>rmal technologies into buildings at <strong>the</strong> designstage or when <strong>the</strong> heating (and cooling) system is being replaced,lowering <strong>the</strong> installation cost.Swimming pool heating: Pools can make simple use of freeheating, using unglazed water collectors. They are mostly made ofplastic, have no insulation and reach temperatures just a fewdegrees above ambient temperature. Collectors used for heatingswimming pools and are ei<strong>the</strong>r installed on <strong>the</strong> ground or on anearby rooftop and <strong>the</strong>y word by pumping swimming pool waterthrough <strong>the</strong> collector directly. The size of such a system dependson <strong>the</strong> size of <strong>the</strong> pool as well as <strong>the</strong> seasons in which <strong>the</strong> pool isused. The collector area needed is about 50 % to 70 % of <strong>the</strong>pool surface. The average size of an unglazed water collectorsystem installed in Europe is about 200 m 2 . 121Domestic hot water systems: The major application of solar <strong>the</strong>rmalheating so far is for domestic hot water systems. Depending on <strong>the</strong>conditions and <strong>the</strong> system’s configuration, most of a building’s hotwater requirements can be provided by solar <strong>energy</strong>. Largersystems can additionally cover a substantial part of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong>needed for space heating. Two major collector types are:2519<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESVacuum tubes The absorber inside <strong>the</strong> vacuum tube absorbsradiation from <strong>the</strong> sun and heats up <strong>the</strong> fluid inside. Additionalradiation is picked up from <strong>the</strong> reflector behind <strong>the</strong> tubes. Whatever<strong>the</strong> angle of <strong>the</strong> sun, <strong>the</strong> round shape of <strong>the</strong> vacuum tube allows it toreach <strong>the</strong> absorber. Even on a cloudy day, when <strong>the</strong> light is comingfrom many angles at once, <strong>the</strong> vacuum tube collector can still beeffective. Most of <strong>the</strong> world’s installed systems are this type, <strong>the</strong>yare applied in <strong>the</strong> largest world market - China. This collector typeconsists of a row of evacuated glass tubes with <strong>the</strong> absorber placedinside. Due to <strong>the</strong> evacuated environment <strong>the</strong>re are fewer heatlosses. The systems can reach operating temperature levels of atleast 120 °C, however, <strong>the</strong> typical use of this collector type is in <strong>the</strong>range of 60°C to 80°C. Evacuated tube collectors are more efficientthan standard flat-plate collectors but generally also more costly.Flat plate or flat panel This is basically a box with a glass coverwhich sits on <strong>the</strong> roof like a skylight. Inside is a series of copperor aluminium tubes with copper fins attached. The entirestructure is coated in a black substance designed to capture <strong>the</strong>sun’s rays. In general, flat plate collectors are not evacuated.They can reach temperatures of about 30°C to 80°C 122 and are<strong>the</strong> most common collector type in Europe.There are two different system types for solar how water, whichinfluence <strong>the</strong> overall system costs.Thermosiphon systems The simple form of a <strong>the</strong>rmosiphon solar<strong>the</strong>rmal system uses gravity as a natural way to transfer hot waterfrom <strong>the</strong> collector to <strong>the</strong> storage tank. No pump or control stationis needed and many are applied as direct systems without a heatexchanger, which reduces system costs. The <strong>the</strong>rmosiphon isrelatively compact, making installation and maintenance quiteeasy. The storage tank of a <strong>the</strong>rmosiphon system is usually appliedright above <strong>the</strong> collector on <strong>the</strong> rooftop and it is directly exposedto <strong>the</strong> seasons. These systems are typical in warm climates, due tofigure 9.23: natural flow systems vs. forced circulation systems<strong>the</strong>ir lower efficiency compared with forced circulation systems.The most common problems are heat losses and <strong>the</strong> risk of freezeso <strong>the</strong>y are not suitable for areas where temperatures drop belowfreezing point. In sou<strong>the</strong>rn Europe, a system like this is capable ofproviding almost <strong>the</strong> total hot water demand of a household.However, <strong>the</strong> largest market for <strong>the</strong>rmosiphon systems is China. InEurope, <strong>the</strong>rmosiphon solar hot water systems are 95% of privateinstallations in Greece 123 , followed by 25% and 15% of newlyinstalled systems in Italy and Spain newly in 2009. 124Pumped systems The majority of systems installed in Europe areforced circulation (pumped) systems, which are far more complexand expensive than <strong>the</strong>rmosiphon systems. Typically <strong>the</strong> storage tankis situated inside <strong>the</strong> house (for instance in <strong>the</strong> cellar). Anautomatic control pump circulates <strong>the</strong> water between <strong>the</strong> storagetank and <strong>the</strong> collector. Forced circulation systems are normallyinstalled with a heat exchanger, which means <strong>the</strong>y have two circuits.They are mostly used in areas with low outside temperatures, andantifreeze additives might have to be added to <strong>the</strong> solar circuit toprotect <strong>the</strong> water from freezing and destroying <strong>the</strong> collector.Even though forced circulation systems are more efficient than<strong>the</strong>rmosiphon systems, <strong>the</strong>y are mostly not capable of supplying <strong>the</strong>full hot water demand in cold areas and are usually combined with aback-up system, such as heat pumps, pellet heaters or conventionalgas or oil boilers. The solar coverage of a system is <strong>the</strong> share of <strong>energy</strong>provided by <strong>the</strong> solar system in relation to total heat consumption, e.g.space heating or hot water. Solar coverage levels depend on <strong>the</strong> heatdemand, <strong>the</strong> outside temperature and <strong>the</strong> system design. For hot waterproduction, a solar coverage of 60% in central Europe is common at<strong>the</strong> current state of technology development. The typical collectorarea installed for a domestic hot water system in a single familyhouse in <strong>the</strong> EU 27 is 3-6 m 2 . For multifamily houses and hotels, <strong>the</strong>size of installations is much bigger, with a typical size of 50 m 2 . 125NATURAL FLOW SYSTEM(domestic hot water)FORCED CIRCULATION SYSTEM(hot water & space heating)252reference122 WEISS ET AL. 2011.123 TRAVASAROS 2011.124 WEISS ET AL. 2011.

The collectors used for thisarea of operation are <strong>the</strong> same as for domestic hot water systems,however, for solar space heating purposes, only pumped systemsare applicable. Effectively most systems used are so called combisystemsthat provide space as well as water heating.So far <strong>the</strong> majority of installations are applied to single-familyhouses with a typical system size between 6 and 16 m 2 and atypical annual solar coverage of 25 % in central Europe. 126Solar combi-systems for multiple family houses are not yet usedvery frequently. These systems are about 50 m 2 , cost approximately470-550 €/m 2 and an have annual solar coverage of 25% incentral Europe. 127 Large scale solar <strong>the</strong>rmal applications that areconnected to a local or district heating grid with a collector areaabove 500 m 2 are not so common. However, since 1985, systeminstallation rates have increased in <strong>the</strong> EU with a typical annualsolar coverage of 15% in central Europe. 128 To get a significantsolar share a large storage needs to be applied. The typical solarcoverage of such a system including storage is around 50% today.With seasonal storage <strong>the</strong> coverage may be increased to about80%. 129 Ano<strong>the</strong>r option for domestic heating systems is aircollector systems which are not explicitly described here. Thelargest market for air collectors are in North America and Asia,and have a very small penetration to <strong>the</strong> European market thoughit has been increasing in recent years.Process heat: Solar <strong>the</strong>rmal use for industrial process heat isreceiving some attention for development, although it is hardly inuse today. Standardised systems are not available becauseindustrial processes are often individually designed. Also solar<strong>the</strong>rmal applications are mostly not capable of providing 100% of<strong>the</strong> heat required over a year, so ano<strong>the</strong>r non-solar heat sourcewould be necessary for commercial use.Depending on <strong>the</strong> temperature level needed, different collectorshave been developed to serve <strong>the</strong> requirements for process heat.Flat plates or evacuated tube collectors provide a temperaturerange up to 80 °C a and a large number are available on <strong>the</strong>market. For temperatures between 80°C and 120°C advanced flatplatecollectors are available e.g. with multiple glassing,antireflective coating, evacuated or using an inert gas filling. O<strong>the</strong>roptions are flat-plate and evacuated tube collectors withcompound parabolic concentrators. These collectors can bestationary and are generally constructed to concentrate solarradiation by a factor of 1 to 2. They can use most of <strong>the</strong> diffuseradiation which makes <strong>the</strong>m especially attractive for areas withlow direct solar radiation.There are a few conceptual designs to reach higher temperaturesbetween 80°C and 180°C, primarily using a parabolic trough orlinear concentrating Fresnel collectors. 130 These collector typeshave a higher concentration factor than CPC collectors, are onlycapable of using direct solar radiation and have to be combinedwith sun tracking systems. The collectors especially designed forheat use are most suitable for a temperature range between150°C and 250°C. 131 Air collector systems for process heat arelimited to lower temperatures, being mostly used for to dryingpurposes (e.g. hay) and are not discussed here.Cooling: Solar chillers use <strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> to produce coolingand/or dehumidify <strong>the</strong> air in a similar way to a refrigerator orconventional air-conditioning. This application is well-suited tosolar <strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong>, as <strong>the</strong> demand for cooling is often greatestwhen <strong>the</strong>re is most sunshine. Solar cooling has been successfullydemonstrated and large-scale use can be expected in <strong>the</strong> future,but is still not widely used.The option to use solar heat this way makes sense because hotregions require more cooling for comfort. Solar <strong>the</strong>rmal cooling ismostly designed as a closed-loop sorption system (see box 9.3).The most common application, however, is a solar absorptioncooling unit. The system requires temperatures above 80°C whichrequires evacuated tube collectors, advanced flat-plate collectorsand compound parabolic concentrators. The solar field requiredfor a cooling unit is about 4 m 2 per kW of cooling capacity.reference125 WEISS ET AL. 2011; NITSCH ET AL. 2010; JAGER ET AL. 2011.126 WEISS ET AL. 2011; NITSCH ET AL. 2010; JAGER ET AL. 2011.127 WEISS ET AL. 2011; NITSCH ET AL. 2010; JAGER ET AL. 2011.128 WEISS ET AL. 2011; NITSCH ET AL. 2010; JAGER ET AL. 2011.129 NITSCH ET AL. 2010.130 THESE COLLECTOR TYPES ARE PRIMARILY USED IN SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANTS AND REACHTEMPERATURE LEVELS AROUND 400°C.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESbox 9.3: sorption cooling unitsA <strong>the</strong>rmo-chemical refrigerant cycle (sorption) providescold by ei<strong>the</strong>r ab- or adsorption cooling. Absorption occurswhen a gaseous or liquid substance is taken up by ano<strong>the</strong>rsubstance, e.g. <strong>the</strong> solution of a gas in a liquid. Adsorptiontakes place when a liquid or gaseous substance is bound to<strong>the</strong> surface of a solid material.The absorption cooling circle can be described as follows: Aliquid refrigerant with a very low boiling point is vaporisedat low pressure withdrawing heat from its environment and<strong>the</strong>refore providing <strong>the</strong> desired cool. The gaseous refrigerantis <strong>the</strong>n absorbed by a liquid solvent, mostly water. Therefrigerant and solvent are separated again by adding(renewable) heat to <strong>the</strong> system, making use of <strong>the</strong> differentboiling points. The gaseous refrigerant is now condensed,released and returned to <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> process. Theheat, which is needed in <strong>the</strong> process, can be provided e.g. byfiring natural gas, combined heat and power plants or solar<strong>the</strong>rmal collectors.9.3.9 geo<strong>the</strong>rmal, hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal and aero<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong>The three categories of environmental heat are geo<strong>the</strong>rmal,hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal and aero<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong>. Geo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> is <strong>the</strong><strong>energy</strong> stored in <strong>the</strong> Earth’s crust, i.e. in rock and subsurfacefluids. The main source of geo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> is <strong>the</strong> internal heatflow from <strong>the</strong> Earth’s mantle and core into <strong>the</strong> crust, which itselfis replenished mainly by heat from <strong>the</strong> decay of radioactiveisotopes. At depths of a few meters, <strong>the</strong> soil is also warmed by<strong>the</strong> atmosphere. Geo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> is available all year round,24 hours a day and is independent from climatic conditions.Hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> is <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> stored in surface waters -rivers, lakes, and <strong>the</strong> sea. Hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> is availablepermanently at temperature level similar to that of shallowgeo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong>. Aero<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> is <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong>stored in <strong>the</strong> Earth’s atmosphere, which originally comes from<strong>the</strong> sun, but has been buffered by <strong>the</strong> atmosphere. Aero<strong>the</strong>rmal<strong>energy</strong> is available uninterruptedly, albeit with variations in<strong>energy</strong> content due to climatic and regional differences.Deep geo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> (geo<strong>the</strong>rmal reservoirs)On average, <strong>the</strong> crust’s temperature increases by 25-30°C perkm, reaching around 100°C at 3 km depth in most regions of <strong>the</strong>world. High temperature fields with that reach over 180°C can befound at this depth in areas with volcanic activity. “Deepgeo<strong>the</strong>rmal reservoirs” generally refer to geo<strong>the</strong>rmal reservoirsmore than 400m depth, where reservoir temperatures typicallyexceed 50°C. Depending on reservoir temperature, deepgeo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> is used to generate electricity and/or to supplyhot water for various <strong>the</strong>rmal applications, e.g. for district heat,balneology etc. Temperatures in geo<strong>the</strong>rmal reservoirs less that400m deep are typically below 30°C which is too low for mostdirect use applications or electricity production. In <strong>the</strong>se shallowfields, heat pumps are applied to increase <strong>the</strong> temperature levelof <strong>the</strong> heat extracted from shallow geo<strong>the</strong>rmal reservoirs.The use of geo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> for heating purposes or for <strong>the</strong>generation of electricity depends on <strong>the</strong> availability of steam orhot water as a heat transfer medium. In hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal systems, hotwater or water vapour can be tapped directly from <strong>the</strong> reservoir.Technologies to exploit hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal systems are already wellestablished and are in operation in many parts of <strong>the</strong> world.However, <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>re is limited availability of aquifers with sufficienttemperature and water production rate at favourable depth. InEurope, high temperature (above 180°C) hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal reservoirs,generally containing steam, are found in Iceland and Italy.Hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal systems with aquifer lowers temperatures (below180°C) can also be used to produce electricity and heat in o<strong>the</strong>rregions. They contain warm water or a water-steam mixture. Incontrast to hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal systems, EGS systems do not require ahot aquifer; <strong>the</strong> heat carrier is <strong>the</strong> rock itself. They can thusvirtually found everywhere. The natural permeability of <strong>the</strong>sereservoirs generally does not allow a sufficient water flow from<strong>the</strong> injection to <strong>the</strong> production well, so <strong>energy</strong> projects require <strong>the</strong>artificial injection of water into <strong>the</strong> reservoir, which <strong>the</strong>y do byfracturing rock underground. Water is injected from <strong>the</strong> surfaceinto <strong>the</strong> reservoir, where <strong>the</strong> surrounding rock acts as a heatexchanger. The heated water is pumped back to <strong>the</strong> surface tosupply a power plant or a heating network. While enhancedgeo<strong>the</strong>rmal systems promise large potentials both for electricitygeneration and direct use, <strong>the</strong>y are still in <strong>the</strong> precommercialisationphase.Direct use of geo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong>(Deep) geo<strong>the</strong>rmal heat from aquifers or deep reservoirs can beused directly in hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal heating plants to supply heatdemand nearby or in a district heating network. Networks providespace heat, hot water in households and health facilities or lowtemperature process heat (industry, agriculture and services). In<strong>the</strong> surface unit, hot water from <strong>the</strong> production well is ei<strong>the</strong>rdirectly fed into a heat distribution network (“open loopsystem”). Alternatively, heat is transferred from <strong>the</strong> geo<strong>the</strong>rmalfluid to a secondary heat distribution network via heatexchangers (“closed loop system”). Heating networktemperatures are typically in <strong>the</strong> range 60-100°C. However,higher temperatures are possible if wet or dry steam reservoirsare exploited or if heat pumps are switched into <strong>the</strong> heatdistribution circuit. In <strong>the</strong>se cases, geo<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> may alsosupply process heat applications which require temperaturesabove 100°C.Alternatively, deep borehole heat exchangers can exploit <strong>the</strong>relatively high temperature at depths between 300 and 3,000m(20 – 110°C) by circulating a working fluid in a borehole in aheat exchanger between <strong>the</strong> surface and <strong>the</strong> depth. Heat pumpscan be used to increase <strong>the</strong> temperature of <strong>the</strong> useful heat, ifrequired. The overall efficiency of geo<strong>the</strong>rmal heat use can beraised if several <strong>the</strong>rmal direct-use applications with successivelower temperature levels are connected in series (concept of254

For example, dry steam at 250°C can be fed to acogeneration plant for electricity, <strong>the</strong> co-generated heat <strong>the</strong>n fedinto a district heating network at 80°C, and <strong>the</strong> waste heat at40°C used to warm fishing ponds. The main costs for deep geo<strong>the</strong>rmalprojects are in drilling.Simultaneous production of electricity and heatIn many cases, geo<strong>the</strong>rmal power plants also produce heat tosupply a district heating network. There are two different optionsfor using heat; one where <strong>the</strong> geo<strong>the</strong>rmal fluid is separated intotwo streams which are separately used ei<strong>the</strong>r for powerproduction or to feed <strong>the</strong> heat network. Alternatively, a heatexchanger transfers <strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> from <strong>the</strong> geo<strong>the</strong>rmal fluid to<strong>the</strong> working fluid which feeds <strong>the</strong> turbines. After <strong>the</strong> heatexchange process, <strong>the</strong> leftover heat from <strong>the</strong> geo<strong>the</strong>rmal fluid canbe used for heating purposes. In both cases, after <strong>the</strong> electricityproduction in <strong>the</strong> turbines waste heat is not captured as it is forcogeneration (CHP), but released into <strong>the</strong> environment.Heat pump technologyHeat pumps use <strong>the</strong> refrigeration cycle to provide heating, coolingand sanitary hot water. They employ renewable <strong>energy</strong> fromground, water and air to move heat from a relatively lowtemperature reservoir (<strong>the</strong> “source”) to <strong>the</strong> temperature level of<strong>the</strong> desired <strong>the</strong>rmal application (<strong>the</strong> “output”). Heat pumpscommonly use two types of refrigeration cycles:• Compression heat pumps use mechanical <strong>energy</strong>, mostcommonly electric motors or combustion engines to drive <strong>the</strong>compressor in <strong>the</strong> unit. Consequently, electricity, gas or oil isused as auxiliary <strong>energy</strong>.figure 9.24: examples for heat pump systems• Thermally-driven heat pumps use <strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> to drive <strong>the</strong>sorption process - ei<strong>the</strong>r adsorption or absorption - to makeambient heat useful. Different <strong>energy</strong> sources can be used asauxiliary <strong>energy</strong>: waste <strong>energy</strong>, biomass, solar <strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>energy</strong> orconventional fuels.Compression heat pump are most commonly used today, however<strong>the</strong>rmally driven units are seen as a promising future technology.The “efficiency” of a heat pump is described by <strong>the</strong> seasonalperformance factor (SPF) - <strong>the</strong> ratio between <strong>the</strong> annual usefulheat output and <strong>the</strong> annual auxiliary <strong>energy</strong> consumption of <strong>the</strong>unit. In <strong>the</strong> residential market, heat pumps work best forrelatively warm heat sources and low-temperature applicationssuch as space heating and sanitary hot water. They are lessefficient for providing higher temperature heat and can’t be usedfor heat over 90°C. For industrial applications, differentrefrigerants can be used to provide heat from 80°C to 90°Cefficiently, so <strong>the</strong>y are only suitable for part of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong>requirements of industry.Heat pumps are generally distinguished by <strong>the</strong> heat source <strong>the</strong>y exploit:• Ground source heat pumps use <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> stored in <strong>the</strong> groundat depths from around hundred meter to <strong>the</strong> surface, <strong>the</strong>y areused for deep borehole heat exchangers (300 – 3,000m),shallow borehole heat exchangers (50-250m) and horizontalborehole heat exchangers (a few meters deep).• Water source heat pumps are coupled to a (relatively warm)water reservoir of around 10°C, e.g. wells, ponds, rivers, <strong>the</strong> sea.• Aero<strong>the</strong>rmal heat pumps use <strong>the</strong> outside air as heat source. Asoutside temperatures during <strong>the</strong> heating period are generallylower than soil and water temperature, ground source andwater source heat pumps typically more efficient thanaero<strong>the</strong>rmal heat pumps.9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESLEFT: AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP, MIDDLE: GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP WITH HORIZONTAL COLLECTOR, RIGHT: WATER SOURCE HEAT PUMP(OPEN LOOP SYSTEM WITH TWO WELLS)source© GERMAN HEAT PUMP ASSOCIATION (BWP).255


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESHeat pumps require additional <strong>energy</strong> apart from <strong>the</strong>environmental heat extracted from <strong>the</strong> heat source, so <strong>the</strong>irenvironmental benefit depends on both <strong>the</strong>ir efficiency and <strong>the</strong>emissions related to <strong>the</strong> production of <strong>the</strong> working <strong>energy</strong>. Where<strong>the</strong> heat pump technology has low SPF and a high share ofelectricity from coal power plants, for example, carbon dioxideemissions relative to useful heat production might higher thanconventional gas condensing boilers. On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, efficien<strong>the</strong>at pumps powered with “green” electricity are 100% emissionfreesolutions that contribute significantly to <strong>the</strong> reduction ofgreenhouse gas emissions when used in place of fossil-fuel firedheating systems.box 9.4: typical heat pump specificationsUsually provide hot water or space heat at lowertemperatures, around 35°CExample uses: underfloor/wall heatingTypical size for space heating a single family housepurposes: approx 5-10 kWthTypical size for space heating a large office building: >100 kWth.Aero<strong>the</strong>rmal heat pumps do not require drilling whichsignificantly reduces system costs compared to o<strong>the</strong>r types.If waste heat from fossil fuel fired processes is used as heatsource for this technology, <strong>the</strong> heat provided cannot be classifiedas “renewable” - it becomes merely an efficient way of makingbetter use of <strong>energy</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rwise wasted.Heat pumps for coolingReversible heat pumps can be operated both in heating and in coolingmode. When running in cooling mode in summer, heat is extractedfrom <strong>the</strong> building and “pumped” into <strong>the</strong> underground reservoir whichis <strong>the</strong>n heated. In this way, <strong>the</strong> temperature of <strong>the</strong> warm reservoir in<strong>the</strong> ground is restored after its exploitation in winter.Alternatively, renewable cooling could be provided by circulating acooling fluid through <strong>the</strong> relatively cool ground before beingdistributed in a building’s heating/cooling system (“free cooling”).However this cooling fluid must not be based on chemicals thatare damaging to <strong>the</strong> upper atmosphere such as HFC’s ( a stronggreenhouse gas) or CFC’s (ozone-depleting gas).In principle, high enthalpy geo<strong>the</strong>rmal heat might provide <strong>the</strong><strong>energy</strong> needed to drive an absorption chiller (see Box 9.3:Sorption cooling units). However, only a very limited number ofgeo<strong>the</strong>rmal absorption chillers are in operation world-wide.box 9.5: district heat networksHeat networks are preferably used in populated areas suchas large cities. Their advantages include reduction of localemissions, higher efficiency (in particular withcogeneration), or a lesser need for infrastructures that goalong with individual heating solutions. Generally heat fromall sources can be used in heat networks. However, <strong>the</strong>re aresome applications like cogeneration technologies that havea special need for a secure heat demand provided by heatnetworks to be able to operate economically.Managing <strong>the</strong> variations in heat supply and demand is vitalfor high shares of renewables, which is more challenging forspace heat and hot water than for electricity. Heat networkshelp even out peaks in demand by connecting a largenumber of clients, and supply can be adjusted by tappingvarious renewable sources and relatively cheap storageoptions. The use of an existing heat network for renewableheat depends on <strong>the</strong> competitiveness of <strong>the</strong> new heatapplications or plants. The development of new gridshowever is not an easy task.The relevant factors to assess whe<strong>the</strong>r a new heat networkis economically competitive compared to o<strong>the</strong>r heating orcooling options are:• Heat density (heat demand per area) of buildinginfrastructure, depending on housing density and <strong>the</strong>specific heat demand of <strong>the</strong> buildings• Obligation to connect to <strong>the</strong> network (leads to highereffective heat density)• Existing buildings’ infrastructure or newly developedareas, where grid installation can be integrated inbuilding site preparation• Existence of competing infrastructures such as gas grids• Size of <strong>the</strong> heat network and distance to <strong>the</strong> remotest clientThe combination and interdependence of <strong>the</strong>se factorsmean <strong>the</strong> costs of a heat network are highly variable andproject-specific so no general indication of investment costcan be made. A German example in 2009 was <strong>the</strong>development of heat networks under <strong>the</strong> market incentiveprogram which had average investment costs (includingbuilding connection) in <strong>the</strong> range of 350 to 460 €/kW.256


image BIOMASS ENERGY PLANT NEAR VARNAMO,SMÅLAND, SWEDEN.© ONEHEMISPHERE.SE9.3.10 biomass heating technologiesThere is a broad portfolio of technologies for heat productionavailable from biomass, a traditional fuel source. A need for moresustainable <strong>energy</strong> supply has lead to <strong>the</strong> development of modernbiomass technologies. A high variety of new or modernisedtechnologies or technology combinations can serve space andwarm water needs but eventually also provide process heat evenfor industrial processes.Biomass can provide a large temperature range of heat and canbe transported over long distances, which is an advantagecompared to solar <strong>the</strong>rmal or geo<strong>the</strong>rmal heat. However,sustainable biomass imposes limits on volume and transportdistance. Ano<strong>the</strong>r disadvantage of bio<strong>energy</strong> is <strong>the</strong> production ofexhaust emissions and <strong>the</strong> risk of greenhouse gas emissions from<strong>energy</strong> crop cultivation.These facts lead to two approaches to biomass development:• Towards improved, relatively small-scale, decentralised systemsfor space heat and hot water.• Development of various highly efficient and upgraded biomasscogeneration systems for industry and district heating.Small applications for space heat and hot water in buildingsIn <strong>the</strong> residential sector, <strong>the</strong> traditional applications of biomasstechnologies have been strongly improved over <strong>the</strong> last decadesfor efficient and comfortable space heating and warm watersupply. The standard application is direct combustion of solidbiomass (wood), for example in familiar but improved wood logstoves that supply single rooms. For average single homes andsmall apartment houses, log wood or pellet boilers are an optionto provide space heat and hot water. Wood is easy to handle and astandardized quality and <strong>the</strong> pellet systems can be automatedalong <strong>the</strong> whole chain, meaning that operation activities can bereduced to a few times a year. Automatically-fed systems aremore easily adaptable to variations in heat demand e.g. betweensummer and winter. Ano<strong>the</strong>r advantage is lower emissions of airpollutants from pellet appliances compared to log wood. 132 Pelle<strong>the</strong>ating systems are gaining importance in Europe.Handfed systems are common for smaller applications below 50kW. Small applications for single rooms (around 5kW capacity)are usually hand fed wood stoves with ra<strong>the</strong>r low efficiency and lowcosts. Technologies are available for central heating in single andsemi-detached houses and are also an option for apartment houses.Wood boilers provide better combustion with operating efficienciesof 70-85% and fewer emissions than stoves with a typical sizes of10-50 kW. 133 Larger wood boilers can heat large buildings such asapartment blocks, office buildings or o<strong>the</strong>r large buildings inservice, commerce and industry with space heat and hot water.Direct heating technologies: Large applications for district orprocess heat rely on automatic feeding technologies, due toconstant heat demand at a defined temperature. Directcombustion of biomass can provide temperatures up to 1,000°C,with higher temperatures for wood and lower temperatures e.g.for straw. Automatically fed appliances are available for woodchips and pellets as well as for straw. Three combustion types,after Kaltschmitt et al. 2009 are:Cogeneration technologies Cogeneration increases <strong>the</strong> efficiency ofusing biomass, if <strong>the</strong> provided heat can be used efficiently. The sizeof a plant is limited due to <strong>the</strong> lower <strong>energy</strong> content of biomasscompared to fossil fuels and resulting difficulties in <strong>the</strong> fuellogistics. Selection of <strong>the</strong> appropriate cogeneration technologydepends on <strong>the</strong> available biomass. In several Scandinaviancountries – with an extraordinarily high potential of forestbiomass - solid biomass is already a main fuel for cogenerationprocesses. Finland derives already over 30% and Sweden even70% of its co-generated -electricity from biomass. 134Direct combustion technologies The cogeneration processes can bebased on direct combustion types (fixed bed combustion, fluidisedbed combustion, pulverised fuel combustion). While steam enginesare available from 50 kWel, steam turbines normally cover <strong>the</strong>range above 2 MWel, with special applications available from 0.5MWel. The heat is typically generated at 60- 70% efficiencydepending on <strong>the</strong> efficiency of <strong>the</strong> power production process, whichin total can add up to 90%. 135 Thus, small and medium cogenerationplants provide three to five times more heat than power, with localheat demand often being <strong>the</strong> limiting factor for <strong>the</strong> plant size.Upgraded biomass Besides direct combustion, <strong>the</strong>re are variousconversion technologies use to upgrade biomass products for usein specific applications and for higher temperatures. Commoncurrently available technologies are (upgraded) biogas productionand gasification, and o<strong>the</strong>r technologies like pyrolysis andproduction of syn<strong>the</strong>tic gases or oils are under development.Gasification is especially valuable in <strong>the</strong> case of biomass with lowcaloric value or when it includes moisture. Partial oxidation of<strong>the</strong> biomass fuel provides a combustible gas mixture mainlyconsisting of carbon monoxide (CO). Gasification can providehigher efficiency along <strong>the</strong> whole biomass chain, however at <strong>the</strong>expense of additional investments for <strong>the</strong> more sophisticatedtechnology. There are many different gasification systems basedon varying fuel input, gasification technology and combinationwith gas turbines. Available literature shows a large cost rangefor gasification cogeneration plants. Assumptions on costs of <strong>the</strong>gasification processes vary strongly.9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESreference132 GEMIS 2011.133 NITSCH ET AL. 2010; GEMIS 2011; AEBIOM 2011B.134 THESE COLLECTOR TYPES ARE PRIMARILY USED IN SOLAR THERMAL POWER PLANTS AND REACHTEMPERATURE LEVELS AROUND 400°C.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK9<strong>energy</strong> technologies | RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESO<strong>the</strong>r upgrading processes are biogas upgrading for feed-in to <strong>the</strong>natural gas grid or <strong>the</strong> production of liquid biomass, such asplant oil, ethanol or second generation fuels. Those technologiescan be easily exchangeable with fossil fuels, but <strong>the</strong> low efficiencyof <strong>the</strong> overall process and <strong>energy</strong> input needed to produce <strong>energy</strong>crops are disadvantages for sustainability.BiogasBiogas plants use anaerobic digestion of bacteria for conversionof various biomass substrates into biogas. This gas mainlyconsists of methane, a gas of high caloric value, CO2 and water.Anaerobic digestion can be used to upgrade organic matter withlow <strong>energy</strong> density, such as organic waste and manure. Thesesubstrates usually contain large water contents and appear liquid.“Dry” substrates need additional water.Liquid residues like wastes and excrements would be energeticallyunused and biogas taps into <strong>the</strong>ir calorific potential. The residueof <strong>the</strong> digestion process is used as a fertiliser, which has higheravailability of nitrogen and is more valuable than <strong>the</strong>input substrates. 139Methane is a strong greenhouse gas, so biogas plants need airtightcovers for <strong>the</strong> digestate, to maintain low emissions. 137 Residues andwastes are preferable for biogas compared with <strong>energy</strong> crops suchas corn silage which require <strong>energy</strong> and fertilizer inputs whilegrowing which <strong>the</strong>mselves create greenhouse gas emissions.Biogas plants usually consist of a digester for biogas productionand a cogeneration plant. Planst are range of sizes and arenormally fed by a mixture of substrates for example manuremixed with maize silage, grass silage, o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>energy</strong> crops and/ororganic wastes. 138Normally biogas is normally used in cogeneration. In Germany, <strong>the</strong>feed-in tariff means biogas production currently is mostly forpower and <strong>the</strong> majority of biogas plants are on farms in ruralareas. Small biogas plants often use <strong>the</strong> produced heat for localspace heating or to provide process heat e.g. for drying processes.Larger biogas plants need access to a heat network to make gooduse of all <strong>the</strong> available heat. However, network access is often notavailable in rural areas so <strong>the</strong>re is still untapped potential of heatconsumption from biogas. Monitoring of German biogas plantsshowed that 50% of available heat was actually wasted. 139 Theconditioning and enriching of biogas and subsequent feed in into<strong>the</strong> gas grid has been promoted lately and should become anoption to use biogas directly at <strong>the</strong> location of heat demand.Upgrading technologies for biomass do bear <strong>the</strong> risk of additionalmethane emissions so tight emission standards are necessary toachieve real reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. 1409.3.11 storage technologiesAs <strong>the</strong> share of electricity provided by renewable sourcesincreases around <strong>the</strong> world <strong>the</strong> technologies and policies requiredto handle <strong>the</strong>ir variability is also advancing. Along with <strong>the</strong> gridrelatedand forecasting solutions discussed in Chapter 3, <strong>energy</strong>storage is a key part of <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution.Once <strong>the</strong> share of electricity from variable renewable sourcesexceeds 30-35%, <strong>energy</strong> storage is necessary in order tocompensate for generation shortages or to store possible surpluselectricity generated during windy and sunny periods. Todaystorage technology is available for different stages ofdevelopment, scales of projects, and for meeting both short- andlong-term <strong>energy</strong> storage needs. Short-term storage technologiescan compensate for output fluctuations that last only a fewhours, whereas longer term or seasonal storage technologies canbridge <strong>the</strong> gap over several weeks.Short-term options include batteries, flywheels, compressed airpower plants and pump storage power stations with highefficiency factors. The later is also used for long term storage.Perhaps <strong>the</strong> most promising of <strong>the</strong>se options is electric vehicles(EVs) with Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capability, which can increaseflexibility of <strong>the</strong> power system by charging when <strong>the</strong>re is surplusrenewable generation and discharging while parked to take uppeaking capacity or ancillary services to <strong>the</strong> power system.Vehicles are often parked close to main load centres during peaktimes (e.g., outside factories) so <strong>the</strong>re would be no networkissues. However battery costs are currently very high andsignificant logistical challenges remain.Seasonal storage technologies include hydro pumped storage and<strong>the</strong> production of hydrogen or renewable methane. While <strong>the</strong>latter two options are currently in <strong>the</strong> development with severaldemonstration projects mainly in Germany, pumped storage hasbeen in use around <strong>the</strong> world for more than a century.258reference136 KALTSCHMITT ET AL. 2009.137 PEHNT ET AL. 2007.138 IEA 2007; NITSCH ET AL. 2010.139 DBFZ 2010.140 GÄRTNER ET AL. 2008.

It is a type of hydroelectric power generation 141 thatstores <strong>energy</strong> by pumping water from a lower elevation reservoirto a higher elevation during times of low-cost, off-peak electricityand releasing it through turbines during high demand periods.While pumped storage is currently <strong>the</strong> most cost-effective meansof storing large amounts of electrical <strong>energy</strong> on an operatingbasis, capital costs and appropriate geography are criticaldecision factors in building new infrastructure. Losses associatedwith <strong>the</strong> pumping and water storage process make such plantsnet consumers of <strong>energy</strong>; accounting for evaporation andconversion losses, approximately 70-85% of <strong>the</strong> electrical <strong>energy</strong>used to pump water into <strong>the</strong> elevated reservoir can be recapturedwhen it is released.Renewable Methane Both gas plants and cogeneration units canbe converted to operate on renewable methane, which can bemade from renewable electricity and used to effectively store<strong>energy</strong> from <strong>the</strong> sun and wind. Renewable methane can be storedand transported via existing natural gas infrastructure, and cansupply electricity when needed. Gas storage capacities can closeelectricity supply gaps of up to two months, and <strong>the</strong> smart linkbetween power grid and gas network can allow for gridstabilisation. Expanding local heat networks, in connection withpower grids or gas networks, would enable <strong>the</strong> electricity storedas methane to be used in cogeneration units with high overallefficiency factors, providing both heat and power. 142 There arecurrently several pilot projects in Germany in <strong>the</strong> range of one totwo- Megawatt size, but not in a larger commercial scale yet. Ifthose pilot projects are successful, a commercial scale can beexpected between 2015 and 2020.

STOZEK/DREAMSTIMEUsing <strong>energy</strong> efficiently is cheaper than producing new <strong>energy</strong> fromscratch and often has many o<strong>the</strong>r benefits. An efficient clo<strong>the</strong>swashing machine or dishwasher, for example, uses less power andsaves water too. Efficiency in buildings doesn’t mean going without– it should provide a higher level of comfort. A well-insulatedhouse, will feel warmer in <strong>the</strong> winter, cooler in <strong>the</strong> summer and behealthier to live in. An efficient refrigerator is quieter, has no frostinside, no condensation outside and will probably last longer.Efficient lighting offers more light where you need it. Efficiency isthus really better described as ‘more with less’.There are very simple steps to efficiency both at home and inbusiness, through updating or replacing separate systems orappliances, that will save both money and <strong>energy</strong>. But <strong>the</strong> biggestsavings don’t come from incremental steps but from rethinking<strong>the</strong> whole concept - ‘<strong>the</strong> whole house’, ‘<strong>the</strong> whole car’ or even ‘<strong>the</strong>whole transport system’. In this way, <strong>energy</strong> needs can often becut back by four to ten times.In order to find out <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> and regional <strong>energy</strong> efficiencypotential, <strong>the</strong> Dutch institute Ecofys developed <strong>energy</strong> demandscenarios for <strong>the</strong> Greenpeace Energy [R]evolution analysis in2008, which have now been updated by <strong>the</strong> Utrecht University for<strong>the</strong> 2012 model. These scenarios cover <strong>energy</strong> demand over <strong>the</strong>period 2009-2050 for ten world regions. In contrast to <strong>the</strong>Reference scenario, based on <strong>the</strong> IEA World Energy Outlook 2011(WEO 2011), a low <strong>energy</strong> demand scenario for <strong>energy</strong> efficiencyimprovements has been defined. In this edition, <strong>the</strong> transport sectorhas been separated from <strong>the</strong> stationary <strong>energy</strong> research. Theefficiency scenario is based on <strong>the</strong> best technical <strong>energy</strong> efficiencypotentials and takes into account into account implementationconstraints including costs and o<strong>the</strong>r barriers. This scenario iscalled ‘ER’ and has been compared to <strong>the</strong> IEA’s 450ppm scenario– published in <strong>the</strong> WEO 2011. The main results of <strong>the</strong> study aresummarised below.10.1 methodology for <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> demand projectionsThis section explains <strong>the</strong> methodology for developing <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong>demand projections. The approach includes two steps:1.Definition of reference <strong>energy</strong> demand2.Development of low <strong>energy</strong> demand scenarios includingpotentials for <strong>energy</strong>-efficiency improvementStep 1: definition of reference scenarioIn order to estimate potentials for <strong>energy</strong>-efficiency improvement in2050 a detailed reference scenario is required that projects <strong>the</strong>development of <strong>energy</strong> demand when current trends continue. In <strong>the</strong>Reference scenario – <strong>the</strong> World Energy Outlook 2011 “Currentpolicy” 143 only currently adopted <strong>energy</strong> and climate change policiesare implemented. Technological change including efficiencyimprovement is slow but substantial and mainly triggered byincreased <strong>energy</strong> prices. 144 The Reference scenario covers <strong>energy</strong>demand development in <strong>the</strong> period 2009-2050 for ten world regionsand three sectors:• Transport• Industry• O<strong>the</strong>r (also referred to as “buildings and agriculture”).Within <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> industry and o<strong>the</strong>r sectors a distinction ismade between electricity demand and fuel and heat demand.Heat demand mainly consists of district heating from heat plantsand from combined heat and power plants. Fuel and heat demandis referred to as ‘fuel demand’ in <strong>the</strong> figures that follow. The<strong>energy</strong> demand scenario focuses only on <strong>energy</strong>-related fuel,power and heat use. This means that feedstock consumption inindustries is excluded from <strong>the</strong> analysis. Total final consumptiondata in WEO includes non-<strong>energy</strong> use. By assuming that <strong>the</strong> shareof non-<strong>energy</strong> use remains <strong>the</strong> same as in <strong>the</strong> base year 2009 wedetermine <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong>-related fuel use beyond 2009.Transport efficiencies were calculated by <strong>the</strong> DLR Institute ofVehicle Concepts and are documented in chapter 11.Figure 10.1 shows <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario for final <strong>energy</strong>demand for <strong>the</strong> world per sector.figure 10.1: final <strong>energy</strong> demand (PJ)in reference scenario per sector worldwide600,000500,000400,000300,000200,000100,000PJ/a 02009 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045 2050OTHER - ELECTRICITYOTHER - FUELSINDUSTRY - ELECTRICITYINDUSTRY - FUELS (EXCLUDING FEEDSTOCKS)• TRANSPORTWorldwide final <strong>energy</strong> demand is expected to grow by 75%,from 304 ExaJoule (EJ) in 2009 to 523 EJ in 2050.

In most regions <strong>the</strong> share of residential<strong>energy</strong> demand is larger than <strong>the</strong> share of commercial and publicservices <strong>energy</strong> demand (except in OECD Asia Oceania). Since<strong>energy</strong> use in agriculture is relatively small (<strong>global</strong>ly only 6% of thissector) we do not look at this sector in detail but assume <strong>the</strong> same<strong>energy</strong> saving potentials as in residential and commercial combined.In <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, <strong>energy</strong> demand in buildings andagriculture is forecasted to grow considerably (see Figure 10.14).figure 10.12: breakdown of <strong>energy</strong> demand in buildingsand agriculture in 2009 (IEA ENERGY BALANCES 2011)Figure 10.13 shows that <strong>energy</strong> demand in buildings and agriculturein 2050 is highest in OECD Americas, followed by China and OECDEurope.

The share ranges from52% for OECD Asia Oceania to 92% for Africa.The residential sector has <strong>the</strong> largest end-use for fuels and heatuse, see Figure 10.16. Its share ranges from 45% in OECD AsiaOceania to 94% in Africa.Currently <strong>the</strong> largest share of fuel and heat use in this sector is usedfor space heating. The breakdown of fuel use per function is differentper region. In <strong>the</strong> [R]evolution scenario a convergence is assumed for<strong>the</strong> different types of fuel demand per region. The followingbreakdown for fuel use in 2050 is assumed for most regions: 145• space heating (80%)• hot water (15%)• cooking (5%)A summary of possible <strong>energy</strong> saving measures for each of <strong>the</strong>three types of fuel/heat use is provided here.Space heating Energy-efficiency improvement for space heatingis indicated by <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> demand per m 2 floor area per heatingdegree day (HDD). Heating degree day is <strong>the</strong> number of degreesthat a day’s average temperature is below 18°C.

Thesewindows reduce heat loss to 40% compared to windows withone layer. The low-emittance coating prevents <strong>energy</strong> waves insunlight coming in and <strong>the</strong>reby reduces cooling need.• Insulation of roofs, walls, floors and basement. Properinsulation reduces heating and cooling demand by 50% incomparison to average <strong>energy</strong> demand.• Passive solar <strong>energy</strong>. Good building design can make use ofsolar <strong>energy</strong> design, through orientation of <strong>the</strong> building’s siteand windows. The term “passive” indicates that no mechanicalequipment is used.

A number ofoptions are available such as high efficiency boilers that canachieve efficiencies of 107%, based on lower heating value.Ano<strong>the</strong>r option is <strong>the</strong> use of heat pumps (see section 3.1.2).Space heating Energy savings options for hot water include pipeinsulation and high efficiency boilers. Ano<strong>the</strong>r option is heatrecovery units that capture <strong>the</strong> waste heat from water going down<strong>the</strong> drain and use it to preheat cold water before it enters <strong>the</strong>household water heater.

The sales of heat pumps in anumber of major European markets experienced strong growth inrecent years. Total annual sales in Austria, Finland, France, Germany,Italy, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland reached 576,000 in 2008,almost 50% more than in 2005. 156 Data suggests that heat pumpsmay be beginning to achieve a critical mass for space and waterheating in a number of European countries.Lighting Incandescent bulbs have been <strong>the</strong> most common lamps fora more than 100 years but also <strong>the</strong> most inefficient type since up to95% of <strong>the</strong> electricity is lost as heat. 157 Incandescent lamps have arelatively short life-span (average value approximately 1,000 hours),but have a low initial cost and attractive light colour. CompactFluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs) are more expensive thanincandescent, but <strong>the</strong>y use about a quarter of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> and lastabout 10 times longer. 158 In recent years many policies have beenimplemented that reduce or ban <strong>the</strong> use of incandescent light bulbsin various countries.It is important to realise however that lighting <strong>energy</strong> savings are notjust a question of using more efficient lamps, but also involve o<strong>the</strong>rapproaches: reducing light absorption of luminaries (<strong>the</strong> fixture inwhich <strong>the</strong> lamp is housed), optimise lighting levels (which commonlyexceed values recommended by IEA), 159 use of automatic controls likemovement and daylight sensors, and retrofitting buildings to makebetter use of daylight. Buildings designed to optimize daylight canreceive up to 70% of <strong>the</strong>ir annual illumination needs from daylightwhile a typical building will only get 20 to 25%. 160The IEA publication Light’s Labour’s Lost (2006) projects atleast 38% of lighting electricity consumption could be cut incost-effective ways, disregarding newer and promisingtechnologies such as light emitted diodes (LEDs).AFRICA•COMMERCE AND PUBLIC SERVICES• RESIDENTIALICT and home entertainment equipment Information andcommunication technologies (ICT) and home entertainment consistof a growing number of appliances in both residential andcommercial buildings, such as computers, (smart) phones, televisions,set-top boxes, games consoles, printers, copiers and servers. ICT andconsumer electronics account for about 15% of residentialelectricity consumption now. 161 Globally a rise of 3 times is expectedfor ICT and consumer electronics, from 776 TWh in 2010 to 1,700TWh in 2030. One of <strong>the</strong> main options for reducing <strong>energy</strong> use inICT and home entertainment is using best available technology. IEA(2009b) estimates that a reduction is possible from 1,700 TWh to775 TWh in 2030 by applying best available technology and to1,220 TWh by least life-cycle costs measures, which do not imposeadditional costs on consumers. Below we discuss o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>energy</strong> savingsoptions for ICT and home entertainment.O<strong>the</strong>r appliances O<strong>the</strong>r appliances include cold appliances(freezers and refrigerators), washing machines, dryers, dish washers,ovens and o<strong>the</strong>r kitchen equipment. Electricity use for coldappliances depends on average per household storage capacities, <strong>the</strong>ratio of frozen to fresh food storage capacity, ambient temperaturesand humidity, and food storage temperatures and control. 162European and Japanese households typically have one combinedrefrigerator-freezer in <strong>the</strong> kitchen or <strong>the</strong>y have a refrigerator and aseparate freezer, due to having less space in <strong>the</strong> home. In OECDNorth America and Australia where houses are larger, almost allhouseholds have a refrigerator-freezer and many also have aseparate freezer and occasionally a separate refrigerator. 163 It isestimated that by improving <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong>-efficiency of cold applianceson average 45% of electricity use could be saved for EU-27. 164 For“wet appliances” <strong>the</strong>y estimate a potential of 40-60% savings byimplementing best practice technology (see Table 10.3).table 10.3: reference and best practice electricityuse by “wet appliances”Washing machine*Reference (kWh/dwelling/yr)Best practice (kWh/dwelling/yr)Improvement (%)Dryer*Reference (kWh/dwelling/yr)Best practice (kWh/dwelling/yr)Improvement (%)Dish washers*, **Reference (kWh/dwelling/yr)Best practice (kWh/dwelling/yr)Improvement (%)notes* WWW.MILIEUCENTRAAL.NL** ESTIMATE OF 163 DERIVED FROM VHK, 2005.references156 IEA, 2010.157 HENDEL-BLACKFORD ET AL., 2007.158 ENERGY STAR, 2008.159 IEA, LIGHT´S LABOUR´S LOST, 2006, PARIS/FRANCE.160 IEA, LIGHT´S LABOUR´S LOST, 2006, PARIS/FRANCE.161 IEA, 2009B162 IEA , COOL APPLIANCES, 2003, PARIS/FRANCE.163 IEA , COOL APPLIANCES, 2003, PARIS/FRANCE.164 BETTGENHAUSER ET AL.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK10<strong>energy</strong> efficiency | THE STANDARD HOUSEHOLD CONCEPTAir conditioning There are several options for technological savingsfrom air conditioning equipment; one is using a different refrigerant.Tests with <strong>the</strong> refrigerant Ikon B show possible <strong>energy</strong> consumptionreductions of 20-25% compared to regularly used refrigerants. 165Also geo<strong>the</strong>rmal cooling is an important option which isexplained in Chapter 9 - Renewable Heating and Cooling. Ofseveral technical concepts available, <strong>the</strong> highest <strong>energy</strong> savingscan be achieved with two storage reservoirs in aquifers where insummer time cold water is used from <strong>the</strong> cold reservoir. The hotreservoir can be used with a heat pump for heating in winter.Solar <strong>energy</strong> can also be used for heating and cooling, <strong>the</strong> differenttypes are also discussed in <strong>the</strong> previous chapter. Heat pumps andair conditioners that can be powered by solar photovoltaicsystems 166 for example uses only 0.05 kW of electricity is insteadof 0.35 kW for regular air conditioning. 167As well as using efficient air conditioning equipment, it is asimportant to reduce <strong>the</strong> need for air conditioning. The ways toreduce cooling demand are to use insulation to prevent heat fromentering <strong>the</strong> building, reduce <strong>the</strong> amount of inefficient appliancespresent in <strong>the</strong> house (such as incandescent lamps, old refrigerators,etc.) that give off heat, use cool exterior finishes (such as cool rooftechnology 168 or light-coloured paint on <strong>the</strong> walls) to reduce <strong>the</strong>peak cooling demand as much as 10-15% 169 , improve windows anduse vegetation to reduce <strong>the</strong> amount of heat that comes into <strong>the</strong>house, and use ventilation instead of air conditioning units.figure 10.19: efficiency in households - electricity demand per capita IN TWH/ALATIN AMERICAAFRICACHINAINDIAFULLY EQUIPPED BEST PRACTICEHOUSEHOLD DEMAND - PER CAPITA:550 kWh/a10.6 <strong>the</strong> standard household conceptIn order to enable a specific level of <strong>energy</strong> demand as a basic“right” for all people in <strong>the</strong> world, we have developed <strong>the</strong> model ofan efficient Standard Household. A fully equipped OECD household(including fridge, oven, TV, radio, music centre, computer, lightsetc.) currently consumes between 1,500 and 3,400 kWh per yearper person. With an average of two to four people per household<strong>the</strong> total consumption is <strong>the</strong>refore between 3,000 and 12,000kWh/a. This demand could be reduced to about 550 kWh/year perperson just by using <strong>the</strong> most efficient appliances available on <strong>the</strong>market today, without any significant lifestyle changes.Based on this assumption, <strong>the</strong> ‘over-consumption’ of allhouseholds in OECD countries totals more than 2,100 billionkilowatt-hours. Comparing this figure with <strong>the</strong> current per capitaconsumption in developing countries, <strong>the</strong>y would have <strong>the</strong> ‘right’to use about 1,350 billion kilowatt-hours more. The current‘oversupply’ to OECD households could <strong>the</strong>refore fill <strong>the</strong> gap in<strong>energy</strong> supply to developing countries one and a half times over.By implementing a strict technical standard for all electricalappliances, in order to achieve a level of 550 kWh/a per capitaconsumption, it would be possible to switch off more than 340coal power plants in OECD countries.IMPROVING EFFICIENCY IN HOUSEHOLDSMEANS EQUITY:UNDERSUPPLY OF HOUSEHOLDS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIESIN 2005 - COMPARED TO “BEST PRACTICE HOUSEHOLD”:1,373 TWh/aOTHER NON-OECD ASIAGLOBAL PER CAPITA AVERAGEEASTERN EUROPE/EURASIAMIDDLE EASTOECD ASIA OCEANIAOECD EUROPEOVER CONSUMPTION IN OECD COUNTRIES IN 2005 -COMPARED TO “BEST PRACTICE HOUSEHOLD”:2,169 TWh/aOECD NORTH AMERICA0 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 TWh/areference165 US DOE EERE, 2008.166 DARLING, 2005.167 AUSTRIAN ENERGY AGENCY, 2006 - NOTE THAT SOLAR COOLING AND GEOTHERMAL COOLING MAYREDUCE THE NEED FOR HIGH GRADE ENERGY SUCH AS NATURAL GAS AND ELECTRICITY.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK10.7 low <strong>energy</strong> demand scenario:buildings and agricultureThe level of <strong>energy</strong> savings and <strong>the</strong> percentage reduction below<strong>the</strong> baseline vary significantly between regions. The largestpercentage reductions occur in China (38%), <strong>the</strong> economies intransition (38%) and OECD Europe (37%).China’s reduction in 2050 comes from both improved efficiency andswitching away from <strong>the</strong> inefficient use of traditional biomass inbuildings to modern bio<strong>energy</strong> (biofuels, biogas and bio-dimethyle<strong>the</strong>r) and commercial fuels. The smallest percentage reduction below<strong>the</strong> baseline occurs in India and is due to a rebound effect in whichsome increased consumption is triggered by some of <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong>efficiency measures in <strong>the</strong> period to 2050. The largest absolutereductions occur in China, OECD Europe and OECD North America.Figure 10.21 shows which types of <strong>energy</strong> use have <strong>the</strong> highest sharein <strong>the</strong> savings in <strong>the</strong> baseline (IEA BLUE Map scenario).10.8 results for buildings and agriculture:<strong>the</strong> efficiency pathway for <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolutionThe Energy [R]evolution scenario for <strong>the</strong> agriculture andbuildings sector (“o<strong>the</strong>r”) is based on a combination of <strong>the</strong> IEA450 ppm scenario, <strong>the</strong> Blue map scenario and o<strong>the</strong>r assumptions.We assume that policies to improve <strong>energy</strong>-efficiency in thissector are implemented in 2013 and will lead to <strong>energy</strong> savingsfrom 2014 onwards.

This means that electricity savings of 1.5% per year in OECDcountries can be made on top of <strong>the</strong> references scenario. Thispotential for electricity use in OECD countries is within <strong>the</strong>technical potentials for electricity savings as calculated by Grauset al. 173 , which gives a technical potential of 3% saving per yearfor electricity use in buildings against frozen technology level.Table 10.6 shows <strong>the</strong> final <strong>energy</strong> consumption in absolute valuesfor <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, <strong>the</strong> BLUE Map scenarioand 450 ppm scenarios as comparison.

Regulatory standards for new residentialbuildings in cold climates are tightened to between 15 and 30kWh/m 2 /year for heating purposes, with little or no increase incooling load. In hot climates, cooling loads are reduced by aroundone-third. For commercial buildings, standards are introduced whichhalve <strong>the</strong> consumption for heating and cooling compared to 2007.This will mean less heating and cooling equipment is required.• Large-scale refurbishment of residential buildings in <strong>the</strong>OECD. Around 60% of residential dwellings in <strong>the</strong> OECDwhich will still be standing in 2050 will need to be refurbishedto a low-<strong>energy</strong> standard (approximately 50 kWh/m 2 / year),which also means <strong>the</strong>y require less heating equipment. Thisrepresents <strong>the</strong> refurbishment of around 210 million residentialdwellings in <strong>the</strong> OECD between 2010 and 2050.• Highly efficient heating, cooling and ventilation systems.These systems need to be both efficient and cost-effective. Thecoefficient of performance (COP) of installed cooling systemsdoubles from today’s level.• Improved lighting efficiency. Notwithstanding recentimprovements, many driven by policy changes, <strong>the</strong>re remainsconsiderable potential to reduce lighting demand worldwidethrough <strong>the</strong> use of <strong>the</strong> most efficient options.• Improved appliance efficiency. Appliance standards areassumed to shift rapidly to least life-cycle cost levels, and to<strong>the</strong> current BAT levels by 2030.• The deployment of heat pumps for space and waterheating. This occurs predominantly in OECD countries, anddepends on <strong>the</strong> relative economics of different abatementoptions.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK11transport | THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTSustainable transport is needed to reduce <strong>the</strong> level of greenhousegases in <strong>the</strong> atmosphere, just as much as a shift to renewableelectricity and heat production. Today, nearly a third (27%) ofcurrent <strong>energy</strong> use comes from <strong>the</strong> transport sector, includingroad and rail, aviation and sea transport. In order to assess <strong>the</strong>present status of <strong>global</strong> transport, including its carbon footprint,a special study was undertaken for <strong>the</strong> 2012 Energy [R]evolutionreport by <strong>the</strong> German Aerospace Centre (DLR) Institute ofVehicle Concepts.The demand projections for <strong>the</strong> Reference and this Energy[R]evolution scenario have been based on this analysis, although<strong>the</strong> reference year has been updated on <strong>the</strong> basis of IEA WEO2011 (to 2009 figures).This chapter provides an overview of <strong>the</strong> selected measuresrequired to develop a more <strong>energy</strong> efficient and sustainabletransport system in <strong>the</strong> future, with a focus on:• reducing transport demand,• shifting transport ‘modes’ (from high to low <strong>energy</strong> intensity),and• <strong>energy</strong> efficiency improvements from technology development.The section provides assumptions for <strong>the</strong> transport sector <strong>energy</strong>demand calculations used in <strong>the</strong> Reference and <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenarios including projections for <strong>the</strong> passengervehicle market (Light Duty Vehicles).Overall, some technologies will have to be adapted for greater<strong>energy</strong> efficiency. In o<strong>the</strong>r situations, a simple modification willnot be enough. The transport of people in megacities and urbanareas will have to be almost entirely reorganised and individualtransport must be complemented or even substituted by publictransport systems. Car sharing and public transport on demandare only <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> transition needed for a system thatcarries more people more quickly and conveniently to <strong>the</strong>irdestination while using less <strong>energy</strong>.For <strong>the</strong> 2012 Energy [R]evolution scenario, <strong>the</strong> German DLRInstitute of Vehicle Concepts undertook analyses of <strong>the</strong> entire<strong>global</strong> transport sector, broken down to <strong>the</strong> ten IEA regions. Thisreport outlines <strong>the</strong> key findings of <strong>the</strong> analysis’ calculations.11.1 <strong>the</strong> future of <strong>the</strong> transport sectorin <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution scenarioAs for electricity projections, a detailed Reference scenario isrequired for transport. The scenario constructed includes detailedshares and <strong>energy</strong> intensity data per mode of transport and perregion up to 2050 (sources: WBSCD, EU studies). Based on <strong>the</strong>Reference scenario, deviating transport performance andtechnical parameters are applied to create <strong>the</strong> ambitious Energy[R]evolution scenario for reducing <strong>energy</strong> consumption. Trafficperformance is assumed to decline for <strong>the</strong> high <strong>energy</strong> intensitymodes and fur<strong>the</strong>r <strong>energy</strong> reduction potentials were assumedfrom fur<strong>the</strong>r efficiency gains, alternative power trains and fuels.International shipping has been left out whilst calculating <strong>the</strong>baseline figures, because it spreads across all regions of <strong>the</strong>world. The total is <strong>the</strong>refore made up of Light Duty Vehicles(LDVs), Heavy and Medium Duty Freight Trucks, rail, air, andnational marine transport (Inland Navigation). Although <strong>energy</strong>use from international marine bunkers (international shipping fuelsuppliers) is not included in <strong>the</strong>se calculations, it is still estimatedto account for 9% of today’s worldwide transport final <strong>energy</strong>demand and 7% by 2050. A recent UN report concluded thatcarbon dioxide emissions from shipping are much greater thaninitially thought and increasing at an alarming rate. It is<strong>the</strong>refore very important to improve <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> efficiency ofinternational shipping. Possible options are examined later in thischapter.The definitions of <strong>the</strong> transport modes for <strong>the</strong> scenarios 174 are:• Light duty vehicles (LDV) are four-wheel vehicles usedprimarily for personal passenger road travel. These are typicallycars, Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), small passenger vans (upto eight seats) and personal pickup trucks. Light Duty Vehiclesare also simply called ‘cars’ within this chapter.• Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDV) are as long haul trucks operatingalmost exclusively on diesel fuel. These trucks carry large loadswith lower <strong>energy</strong> intensity (<strong>energy</strong> use per tonne-kilometre ofhaulage) than Medium Duty Vehicles such as delivery trucks.• Medium Duty Vehicles (MDV) include medium haul trucks anddelivery vehicles.• Aviation in each region denotes domestic air travel (intraregionaland international air travel is provided as one figure).• Inland Navigation denotes freight shipping with vesselsoperating on rivers and canals or in coastal areas for domestictransport purposes.276reference174 FULTON & EADS (2004).

The share of domestic air transport increases from 6% to8%. Of particular note is <strong>the</strong> high share of road transport intotal transport <strong>energy</strong> demand: 89% in 2009 and 86% in 2050.In <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, overall <strong>energy</strong> demand in <strong>the</strong> transportsector adds up to 82 EJ in 2009. It is projected to increase to151 EJ in 2050.In <strong>the</strong> ambitious Energy [R]evolution scenario, implying <strong>the</strong>implementation of all efficiency and behavioural measures described,we calculated in fact a decrease of <strong>energy</strong> demand to 61 EJ, whichmeans a lower annual <strong>energy</strong> consumption than in 2009.Figure 11.1 shows world final <strong>energy</strong> use for <strong>the</strong> transport sectorin 2009 and 2050 in <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario.Today, <strong>energy</strong> consumption is comprised by nearly half of <strong>the</strong> totalamount by OECD America and OECD Europe. In 2050, <strong>the</strong>picture looks more fragmented. In particular China and Indiaform a much bigger portion of <strong>the</strong> world transport <strong>energy</strong> demandwhereas OECD America remains <strong>the</strong> largest <strong>energy</strong> consumer.figure 11.1: world final <strong>energy</strong> use per transport mode 2009/2050 – reference scenario6%1%2%12%21%20092%56%ROAD PASS TRANSPORTHDVMDVFREIGHT RAILPASSENGER RAIL•DOMESTIC AVIATIONINLAND NAVIGATION8%1%2%16%20502%46%11figure 11.2: world transport final <strong>energy</strong> use by region 2009/2050 – reference scenario4%3%6%8%7%6%7%200917%35%7%OECD EUROPEOECD NORTH AMERICAOECD ASIA OCEANIALATIN AMERICANON OECD ASIAEASTERN EUROPE/EURASIACHINAMIDDLE EAST• INDIAAFRICA24%5%12%8%19%7%205010%20%3%7%8%transport | THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORT277


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK11.2 technical and behavioural measures toreduce transport <strong>energy</strong> consumptionThe following section describes how <strong>the</strong> transport modescontribute to total and relative <strong>energy</strong> demand. Then, a selectionof measures for reducing total and specific <strong>energy</strong> transportconsumption are put forward for each mode. Measures aregrouped as ei<strong>the</strong>r behavioural or technical.The three ways to decrease <strong>energy</strong> demand in <strong>the</strong> transportsector examined are:• reduction of transport demand of high <strong>energy</strong> intensity modes• modal shift from high <strong>energy</strong> intensive transport to low <strong>energy</strong>intensity modes• <strong>energy</strong> efficiency improvements.Table 11.1 summarises <strong>the</strong>se options and <strong>the</strong> indicatorsused to quantify <strong>the</strong>m.Policy measures for reducing passenger transport demand in generalcould include:• charge and tax policies that increase transport costs forindividual transport• price incentives for using public transport modes• installation or upgrading of public transport systems• incentives for working from home• stimulating <strong>the</strong> use of video conferencing in business• improved cycle paths in cities.Table 11.2 shows <strong>the</strong> p-km for light duty vehicle transport in 2009against <strong>the</strong> assumed p-km in <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario and in <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario in 2050, broken down for all regions.11transport | TECHNICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL MEASURES TO REDUCE TRANSPORT11.2.1 step 1: reduction of transport demandTo use less transport overall means reducing <strong>the</strong> amount of‘passenger-km (p-km)’ travelled per capita and reducing freighttransport demand. The amount of freight transport is to a largeextent linked to GDP development and <strong>the</strong>refore difficult toinfluence. However, by improved logistics, for example optimal loadprofiles for trucks or a shift to regionally-produced and shippedgoods, demand can be limited.Passenger transport The study focussed on <strong>the</strong> change inpassenger-km per capita of high-<strong>energy</strong> intensity air transport andpersonal vehicles modes. Passenger transport by Light duty vehicles(LDV), for example, is <strong>energy</strong> demanding both in absolute andrelative terms. Policy measures that enforce a reduction of passengerkmtravelled by individual transport modes are an effective means toreduce transport <strong>energy</strong> demand.table 11.1: selection of measures and indicatorsMEASUREReduction oftransport demandModal shiftEnergy efficiencyimprovementstable 11.2: LDV passenger-km per capitaREGIONOECD EuropeOECD North AmericaOECD Asia OceaniaLatin AmericaNon OECD AsiaEastern Europe/EurasiaChinaMiddle EastIndiaAfrica20099,0619,4019,9243,0451,2894,3851,0514,749335726REDUCTION OPTIONReduction in volume of passenger transport in comparison to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenarioReduction in volume of freight transport in comparison to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenarioModal shift from trucks to railModal shift from cars to public transportShift to <strong>energy</strong> efficient passenger car drive trains (battery electric vehicles, hybrid and fuel cellhydrogen cars) and trucks (fuel cell hydrogen, battery electric, catenary or inductive supplied)Shift to powertrain modes that may be fuelled by renewable <strong>energy</strong> (electric, fuel cell hydrogen)Autonomous efficiency improvements of LDV, HDV, trains, airplanes over time2050 REF10,51811,94011,8616,2353,70813,0745,46214,3836,1961,3462050 E[R]7,3908,21110,8935,4682,67310,3613,3648,3585,011834INDICATORPassenger-km/capitaTon-km/unit of GDPMJ/tonne-kmMJ/Passenger-kmMJ/Passenger-km,|MJ/Ton-kmMJ/Passenger-km,MJ/Ton-kmMJ/Passenger-km,MJ/Ton-km278

GILLES /DREAMSTIMEIn <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario, <strong>the</strong>re is a forecast increase inpassenger-km in all regions up to 2050. For <strong>the</strong> 2050 Energy[R]evolution scenario <strong>the</strong>re is still a rise, but this would be muchflatter and for OECD Europe and OECD America <strong>the</strong>re will evenbe a decline in individual transport on a per capita basis.The reduction in passenger-km per capita in <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario compared to <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario comeswith a general reduction in car use due to behavioural and trafficpolicy changes and partly with a shift of transport to public modes.A shift from <strong>energy</strong>-intensive individual transport to low-<strong>energy</strong>demand public transport goes align with an increase in low<strong>energy</strong>public transport p-km.Freight transport It is difficult to estimate a reduction in freighttransport and <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario does not include amodel for reduced frieght transport.11.2.2 step 2: changes in transport modeIn order to figure out which vehicles or transport modes are <strong>the</strong>most efficient for each purpose requires an analysis of <strong>the</strong>transport modes’ technologies. Then, <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> use and intensityfor each type of transport is used to calculate <strong>energy</strong> savingsresulting from a transport mode shift. The following informationis required:• Passenger transport: Energy demand per passenger kilometre,measured in MJ/p-km.• Freight transport: Energy demand per kilometre of transportedtonne of goods, measured in MJ/tonne-km.figure 11.3: world average (stock-weighted) passengertransport <strong>energy</strong> intensity for 2009 and 20502.01.51.00.5MJ/p-km 0•2009 REFERENCE2050 ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONLDV Passenger Railway Domestic AviationFor this study passenger transport includes Light Duty Vehicles,passenger rail and air transport. Freight transport includes MediumDuty Vehicles, Heavy DutyVehicles, Inland Navigation, marinetransport and freight rail. WBCSD 2004 data was used as baselinedata and updated where more recent information was available.Passenger transport Travelling by rail is <strong>the</strong> most efficient –but car transport improves strongly. Figure 11.3 shows <strong>the</strong>worldwide average specific <strong>energy</strong> consumption (<strong>energy</strong> intensity)by transport mode in 2009 and in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario in 2050. This data differs for each region. There is alarge difference in specific <strong>energy</strong> consumption among <strong>the</strong>transport modes. Passenger transport by rail will consume on aper p-km basis 28% less <strong>energy</strong> in 2050 than car transport and85% less than aviation which shows that shifting from road torail can make large <strong>energy</strong> savings.From Figure 11.3 we can conclude that in order to reduce transport<strong>energy</strong> demand, passengers will need to shift from cars and especiallyair transport to <strong>the</strong> lower <strong>energy</strong>-intensive passenger rail transport.In <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario it is assumed that a certainportion of passenger-kilometer of domestic air traffic andintraregional air traffic (i. e., traffic among two countries of oneIEA region) is suitable to be substituted by high speed rail(HSR). For international aviation <strong>the</strong>re is obviously nosubstitution potential to o<strong>the</strong>r modes whatsoever.Table 11.3 displays <strong>the</strong> relative model shifts used in <strong>the</strong> calculationof <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario. Where <strong>the</strong> shares are higher itmeans that <strong>the</strong> cites are closer, so a substition by high speed trainsis a more realistic option (i. e. distances of up to 800 – 1,000 km,compared to countries where <strong>the</strong>y are far apart).table 11.3: air traffic substitution potential of highspeed rail (HSR)REGIONOECD EuropeOECD North AmericaOECD Asia OceaniaLatin AmericaNon OECD AsiaEastern Europe/EurasiaChinaMiddle EastIndiaAfricaRELATIVE SUBSTITUTION OF AIRTRAFFIC TO HSR IN 2050 (ALT)DOMESTIC INTRAREGIONAL30 %15 %20 %10 %20 %10 %30 %10 %20 %10 %10 %10 %20 %10 %30 %10 %20 %10 %20 %10 %11transport | TECHNICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL MEASURES TO REDUCE TRANSPORT279

In absolute terms, road transport has <strong>the</strong> largestefficiency gains whereas transport on rail and on water remain <strong>the</strong>modes with <strong>the</strong> lowest relative <strong>energy</strong> demand per tonne-km. Railfreight transport will consume 89% less <strong>energy</strong> per tonne-km in2050 than long haul HDV. This means that large <strong>energy</strong> savingscan be made following a shift from road to rail.figure 11.8: world average (stock-weighted) freighttransport <strong>energy</strong> intensities for 2005 and 20505Modal shifts for transporting goods in <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario The figures above indicate that as muchroad freight as possible should be shifted from road freighttransport to less <strong>energy</strong> intensive freight rail, to gain maximum<strong>energy</strong> savings from modal shifts.Since <strong>the</strong> use of ships largely depends on <strong>the</strong> geography of <strong>the</strong>country, a modal shift is not proposed for national ships but insteada shift towards freight rail. As <strong>the</strong> goods transported by mediumduty vehicles are mainly going to regional destinations (and are<strong>the</strong>refore not suitable for <strong>the</strong> long distance nature of freight railtransport), no modal shift to rail is assumed for this transport type.For long-haul heavy duty vehicles transport, however, especially lowvalue density, heavy goods that are transported on a long range aresuitable for a modal shift to railways. 175 We assumed <strong>the</strong> followingrelative modal shifts in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario:table 11.4: modal shift of HDV tonne-km to freight railin 205043REGIONMODAL SHIFT TO FREIGHT RAIL IN2050 ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONfigure 11.9: tonne-km over time in <strong>the</strong> referencescenariotonne-km per year21MJ/t-km 0•2009 REFERENCE2050 ENERGY [R]EVOLUTION3.5E+133.0E+132.5E+132.0E+121.5E+121.0E+120.5E+12Railway Inland navigation HDV MDV0.0E+002009 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045 2050HEAVY DUTY VEHICLESMEDIUM DUTY VEHICLES•RAIL FREIGHTINLAND NAVIGATIONOECD EuropeOECD North AmericaAll o<strong>the</strong>r regionsFigure 11.9 and Figure 11.10 show <strong>the</strong> resulting tonne-km of <strong>the</strong>modes in <strong>the</strong> Reference scenario and Energy [R]evolutionscenario.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK11transport | TECHNICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL MEASURES TO REDUCE TRANSPORT11.2.3 step 3: efficiency improvementsEnergy efficiency improvements are <strong>the</strong> third important way ofreducing transport <strong>energy</strong> demand. This section explains ways forimproving <strong>energy</strong> efficiency up to 2050 for each type oftransport, namely:• air transport• passenger and freight trains• trucks• inland navigation and marine transport• cars.In general, an integral part of an <strong>energy</strong> reduction scheme is anincrease in <strong>the</strong> load factor – this applies both for freight andpassenger transport. As <strong>the</strong> load factor increases, less vehicles needto be employed and thus <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> intensity decreases whenmeasured per passenger-km or tonne-km.In aviation <strong>the</strong>re are already sophisticated efforts to optimise <strong>the</strong>load factor, however for o<strong>the</strong>r modes such as road and rail freighttransport <strong>the</strong>re is still room for improvement. Lifting <strong>the</strong> loadfactor may be achieved through improved logistics and supplychain planning for freight transport and in enhanced capacityutilisation in passenger transport.Air transport A study conducted by NASA (2011) shows that<strong>energy</strong> use of new subsonic aicrafts can be reduced by up to58% up to 2035. Potentially, up to 81% reduction in CO2emissions are achievable when using biofuels. 176 Akerman (2005)reports that a 65% reduction in fuel use is technically feasible by2050. Technologies to reduce fuel consumption of aircraftsmainly comprise:• Aerodynamic adaptations to reduce <strong>the</strong> drag of <strong>the</strong> aircraft, forexample by improved control of laminar flow, <strong>the</strong> use of ribletsand multi-functional structures, <strong>the</strong> reduction in fasteners, flapfairings and <strong>the</strong> tail size as well as by advanced supercriticalairfoil technologies.• Structural technologies to reduce <strong>the</strong> weight of <strong>the</strong> aircraft whileat <strong>the</strong> same time increasing <strong>the</strong> stiffness. Examples include <strong>the</strong>use of new lightweight materials like advanced metals,composites and ceramics, <strong>the</strong> use of improved coatings as well as<strong>the</strong> optimised design of multi-functional, integrated structures.• Subsystem technologies including, for example, advanced powermanagement and generation as well as optimised flight avionicsand wiring.• Propulsion technologies like advanced gas turbines for powering<strong>the</strong> aircraft more efficiently; this could also include:282• improved combustion emission measures, improvements incold and hot section materials, and <strong>the</strong> use of turbineblade/vane technology;• investigation of all-electric, fuel-cell gas turbine and electricgas turbine hybrid propulsion devices;• <strong>the</strong> usage of electric propulsion technologies compriseadvanced lightweight motors, motor controllers and powerconditioning equipment. 177The scenario projects a 50% improvement in specific <strong>energy</strong>consumption on a per passenger-km basis for future aircrafts in2050 based on 2009 <strong>energy</strong> intensities. Figure 11.11 shows <strong>the</strong><strong>energy</strong> intensities in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario forinternational, intraregional and domestic aviation.figure 11.11: <strong>energy</strong> intensities (MJ/p-km)for air transport in <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution scenario654321MJ/p-km 0•2009 REFERENCE2050 ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONAll regions have <strong>the</strong> same <strong>energy</strong> intensities due to a lack ofregionally-differentiated data. Numbers shown are <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> average.Passenger and freight trains Transport of passengers and freightby rail is currently one of <strong>the</strong> most <strong>energy</strong> efficient means oftransport. However, <strong>the</strong>re is still potential to reduce <strong>the</strong> specific<strong>energy</strong> consumption of trains. Apart from operational and policymeasures to reduce <strong>energy</strong> consumption like raising <strong>the</strong> load factorof trains, technological measures to reduce <strong>energy</strong> consumption offuture trains are necessary, too. Key technologies are:• reducing <strong>the</strong> total weight of a train is seen as <strong>the</strong> mostsignificant measure to reduce traction <strong>energy</strong> consumption. Byusing lightweight structures and lightweight materials, <strong>the</strong><strong>energy</strong> needed to overcome inertial and grade resistances aswell as friction from tractive resistances can be reduced.• aerodynamic improvements to reduce aerodynamic drag,especially important when running on high velocity. A reductionof aerodynamic drag is typically achieved by streamlining <strong>the</strong>profile of <strong>the</strong> train.• switch from diesel-fuelled to more <strong>energy</strong> efficient electricallydriven trains.references176 BRADLEY & DRONEY, 2011.177 IBIDEM.International Intra Domestic

The <strong>energy</strong> canei<strong>the</strong>r be transferred back into <strong>the</strong> grid or stored on-board inan <strong>energy</strong> storage device. Regenerative braking is especiallyeffective in regional traffic with frequent stops.• improved space utilisation to achieve a more efficient <strong>energy</strong>consumption per passenger kilometre. The simplest way toachieve this is to transport more passengers per train. This canei<strong>the</strong>r be achieved by a higher average load factor, more flexibleand shorter trainsets or by <strong>the</strong> use of double-decker trains onhighly frequented routes.• improved accessory functions, e.g. for passenger comfort. Thehighest amount of <strong>energy</strong> in a train is used is to ensure <strong>the</strong>comfort of <strong>the</strong> train’s passengers by heating and cooling. Somestrategies for efficiency include djustments to <strong>the</strong> cabin design,changes to air intakes and using waste heat from traction.By research on technologies for advanced high-speed trains,DLR’s ‘Next Generation Train’ project aims to reduce <strong>the</strong> specific<strong>energy</strong> consumption per passenger kilometre by 50% relative toexisting high speed trains in <strong>the</strong> future.The Energy [R]evolution scenario uses <strong>energy</strong> intensity data ofTOSCA, 2011 for electric and diesel fuelled train in Europe asinput for our calculations. These data were available for 2009and as forecasts for 2025 and 2050.The region-specific efficiency factors and shares of diesel/electrictraction traffic performance were used to calculate <strong>energy</strong>intensity data per region (MJ/p-km) for 2009 and up to 2050.The same methodology was applied for rail freight transport.Figure 11.12 shows <strong>the</strong> weighted average share of electric anddiesel traction today and as of 2030 and 2050 in <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario.Electric trains as of today are about 2 to 3.5 times less <strong>energy</strong>intensive than diesel trains depending on <strong>the</strong> specific type of railtransport, so <strong>the</strong> projections to 2050 include a massive shiftaway from diesel to electric traction in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution2050 scenario.The region-specific efficiency factors for passenger rail take intoaccount higher load factors for example in China and India.Energy intensity for freight rail is based on <strong>the</strong> assumptions thatregions with longer average distances for freight rail (such as <strong>the</strong>US and Former Soviet Union), and where more raw materials aretransported (such as coal), show a lower <strong>energy</strong> intensity thano<strong>the</strong>r regions (Fulton & Eads, 2004). Future projections use tenyear historic IEA data.11figure 11.12: fuel share of electric and diesel railtraction for passenger transport100%90%80%70%60%50%40%30%20%10%0%figure 11.13: fuel share of electric and diesel railtraction for freight transport2009 2030 E[R] 2050 E[R]2009 2030 E[R] 2050 E[R]• ELECTRIC• ELECTRICDIESEL DIESEL100%90%80%70%60%50%40%30%20%10%0%transport | TECHNICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL MEASURES TO REDUCE TRANSPORT283

But it is, apart from air freight transport, <strong>the</strong>most <strong>energy</strong> intensive way of moving goods around. However, gradualprogress is being made in <strong>the</strong> fields of drivetrain efficiency,lightweight construction, alternative power trains and fuels and so on.This study projected a major shift in drivetrain market share ofmedium and heavy duty vehicles in our Energy [R]evolutionscenario in <strong>the</strong> future. As of today, <strong>the</strong> great majority of MDVand HDV is powered by internal combustion engines, fuelledmainly by diesel and in MDV as well by a small share of gasolineand gas (CNG and LPG). The Energy [R]evolution modelincludes a considerable shift to electric and fuel cell hydrogenpowered vehicles (FCV) until 2050.The electric MDV stock in <strong>the</strong> model will be mainly composed ofbattery electric vehicles (BEV), and a relevant share of hybridelectric vehicles (HEV). Hybrid electric vehicles will have alsodisplaced conventional internal combustion engines in heavy dutyvehicles. In addition to this, both electric vehicles supplied withcurrent via overhead catenary lines and BEV are modeled in <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution scenario for HDV applications. Siemens hasproved <strong>the</strong> technical feasibility of <strong>the</strong> catenary technology fortrucks with experimental vehicles in its eHighway project (Figure11.16). The trucks are equipped with a hybrid diesel powertrainto be able to operate when not connected to <strong>the</strong> overhead line.figure 11.14: <strong>energy</strong> intensities for passenger railtransport in <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution scenarioMJ/p-km0.90.80.70.60.50.40.30.20.10When under a catenary line, <strong>the</strong> trucks can operate fully electricat speeds of up to 90 km/h.Apart from electrically operated trucks fed by an overheadcatenary, also inductive power supply via induction loops under <strong>the</strong>pavement could become an option. In addition to <strong>the</strong> electric truckfleet in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario, HDV and MDV poweredby fuel cells (FCV) were integrated into <strong>the</strong> vehicle stock, too.FCV are beneficial especially for long haul transports where nooverhead catenary lines are available and <strong>the</strong> driving range ofBEV would not be sufficient.figure 11.16: HDV operating fully electrically undera catenary 178figure 11.15: <strong>energy</strong> intensities for freight railtransport in <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution scenarioMJ/tonne-km0.60.50.40.30.20.10OECD EUROPEOECD AMERICASOECD ASIA OCEANIAAFRICA• 20092050 ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONCHINAINDIALATIN AMERICAOTHER NON-OECD EASTERN EUROPE/EURASIAMIDDLE EASTOECD EUROPEOECD AMERICASOECD ASIA OCEANIAAFRICA• 20092050 ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONCHINAINDIALATIN AMERICAOTHER NON-OECD EASTERN EUROPE/EURASIAMIDDLE EASTreferences178 SOURCE: HTTP://WWW.GREENTECHMEDIA.COM/ARTICLES/READ/SIEMENS-PLANS-TO-CLEAN-UP-TRUCKING-WITH-A-TROLLEY-LINE/284

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK11transport | TECHNICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL MEASURES TO REDUCE TRANSPORTInland Navigation Technical measures to reduce <strong>energy</strong>consumption of inland vessels include: 180• aerodynamic improvements to <strong>the</strong> hull to reducefriction resistance• improving <strong>the</strong> propeller design to increase efficiency• enhancing engine efficiency.For inland navigation we assumed a reduction of 40% of <strong>global</strong>averaged <strong>energy</strong> intensity in relation to a 2009 value of 0.5MJ/t-km. This means a reduction to 0.3 MJ/t-km.Marine Transport Several technological measures can be appliedto new vessels in order to reduce overall fuel consumption innational and international marine transport. These technologiescomprise for example:• wea<strong>the</strong>r routing to optimise <strong>the</strong> vessel’s route• autopilot adjustments to minimise steering• improved hull coatings to reduce friction losses• improved hull openings to optimise water flow• air lubrication systems to reduce water resistances• improvements in <strong>the</strong> design and shape of <strong>the</strong> hull and rudder• waste heat recovery systems to increase overall efficiency• improvement of <strong>the</strong> diesel engine (e.g. common-rail technology)• installing towing kites and wind engines to use wind <strong>energy</strong>for propulsion• using solar <strong>energy</strong> for onboard power demandAdding each technology effectiveness figure stated by ICCT(2011), <strong>the</strong>se technologies have a potential to improve <strong>energy</strong>efficiency of new vessels between 18.4% and about 57%. Ano<strong>the</strong>roption to reduce <strong>energy</strong> demand of ships is simply to reduceoperating speeds. Up to 36% of fuel consumption can be saved byreducing <strong>the</strong> vessel’s speed by 20%. 181 Eyring et al. (2005) reportthat a 25% reduction of fuel consumption for an internationalmarine diesel fleet is achievable by using more efficient alternativepropulsion devices only. 182 Up to 30% reduction in <strong>energy</strong> demandis reported by Marintek (2000) only by optimising <strong>the</strong> hull shapeand propulsion devices of new vessels. 183The model assumes a total of 40% <strong>energy</strong> efficiencyimprovement potential for international shipping.box 11.1: case study: wind powered shipsIntroduced to commercial operation in 2007, <strong>the</strong> SkySailssystem uses wind power, which has no fuel costs, tocontribute to <strong>the</strong> motion of large freight-carrying ships,which currently use increasingly expensive andenvironmentally damaging oil. Instead of a traditional sailfitted to a mast, <strong>the</strong> system uses large towing kites tocontribute to <strong>the</strong> ship’s propulsion. Shaped like paragliders,<strong>the</strong>y are te<strong>the</strong>red to <strong>the</strong> vessel by ropes and can becontrolled automatically, responding to wind conditions and<strong>the</strong> ship’s trajectory.The kites can operate at altitudes of between 100 and 300metres, where <strong>the</strong>re are stronger and more stable winds. Withdynamic flight patterns, <strong>the</strong> SkySails are able to generate fivetimes more power per square metre of sail area thanconventional sails. Depending on <strong>the</strong> prevailing winds, <strong>the</strong>company claims that a ship’s average annual fuel costs canbe reduced by 10% to 35%. Under oprimal wind conditions,fuel consumption can temporarily be cut by 50%.On <strong>the</strong> first voyage of <strong>the</strong> Beluga SkySails, a 133m longspecially-built cargo ship, <strong>the</strong> towing kite propulsion systemwas able to temporarily substitute for approximately 20%of <strong>the</strong> vessel’s main engine power, even in moderate winds.The company is now planning a kite twice <strong>the</strong> size of this160m 2 pilot.The designers say that virtually all sea-going cargo vesselscan be retro- or outfitted with <strong>the</strong> SkySails propulsionsytsem without extensive modifications. If 1,600 ships wereequipped with <strong>the</strong>se sails by 2015, it would save over 146million tonnes of CO2 a year, equivalent to about 15% ofGermany’s total emissions.286references180 BASED ON VAN ROMPUY, 2010.181 ICCT, 2011.182 EYRING ET AL., 2005.183 MARINTEK, 2000.

The approach shows <strong>the</strong> potential of differenttechnologies influencing <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> efficiency of future cars.Many technologies can be used to improve <strong>the</strong> fuel efficiency ofpassenger cars. Examples include improvements in engines,weight reduction as well as friction and drag reduction. 184The impact of <strong>the</strong> various measures on fuel efficiency can besubstantial. Hybrid vehicles, combining a conventionalcombustion engine with an electric engine, have relatively low fuelconsumption. The most well-known is <strong>the</strong> Toyota Prius, whichoriginally had a fuel efficiency of about 5 litres of gasolineequivalentper 100 km (litre ge/100 km). Toyota has recentlypresented an improved version with a lower fuel consumption of4.3 litres ge/100 km. Applying new lightweight materials, incombination with new propulsion technologies, can bring fuelconsumption levels down to 1 litre ge/100 km.The figure below gives <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> intensities calculated usingpower train market shares and efficiency improvements for LDV in<strong>the</strong> Reference scenario and in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution scenario.The <strong>energy</strong> intensities for car passenger transport are currentlyhighest in OECD North America and lowest in OECD Europe. TheReference scenario shows a decrease in <strong>energy</strong> intensities in allregions, but <strong>the</strong> division between highest and lowest will remain<strong>the</strong> same, although <strong>the</strong>re will be some convergence. We haveassumed that <strong>the</strong> occupancy rate for cars remains nearly <strong>the</strong> sameas in 2009, as shown in <strong>the</strong> figure below.figure 11.20: <strong>energy</strong> intensities for freight railtransport in <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution scenariolitres ge/v-kmOECD EUROPEOECD AMERICASOECD ASIA OCEANIAAFRICACHINAINDIALATIN AMERICAOTHER NON-OECD ASIAEASTERN EUROPE/EURASIAMIDDLE EASTTable 11.6 summarises <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> efficiency improvement forpassenger transport in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution 2050 scenario andTable 11.7 shows <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> efficiency improvement for freighttransport in <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution 2050 scenario.table 11.6: technical efficiency potential for worldpassenger transportMJ/P-KMLDVAir (Domestic)BusesMini-busesTwo wheelsThree wheelsPassenger rail20091.52.50.50.50.50.70.4table 11.7: technical efficiency potential for worldfreight transportMJ/T-KMMDVHDVFreight railInland Navigationfigure 11.21: LDV occupancy rates in 2009and in <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution 2050122.01.8101.61.481.261.00.840.60.420.200.02009•• 20092050 REFERENCE2050 ENERGY [R]EVOLUTION2050 ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONOECD EUROPEOECD AMERICASOECD ASIA OCEANIALATIN AMERICAOTHER NON-OECD ASIAEASTERN EUROPE/EURASIACHINA20094.81.60.20.5MIDDLE EASTINDIA2050 E[R]0.31.20.30.30.30.50.22050 E[R]2.70.80.10.3AFRICA11transport | TECHNICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL MEASURES TO REDUCE TRANSPORTreferences184 DECICCO ET AL., 2001.287


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK11transport | PROJECTION OF THE FUTURE LDV MARKET11.3 projection of <strong>the</strong> future LDV market11.3.1 projection of <strong>the</strong> future technology mixTo achieve <strong>the</strong> substantial CO2-reduction targets in <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario would require a radical shift in fuels forcars and o<strong>the</strong>r light duty vehicles. It would mean thatconventional fossil fueled cars are no longer used in 2050 inalmost all world regions except for Africa. For viable, fullelectrification based on renewable <strong>energy</strong> sources, <strong>the</strong> modelassumes that petrol and diesel fuelled autonomous hybrids andplug-in hybrids that we have today are phased out already by2050. That is, two generations of hybrid technologies will pave<strong>the</strong> way for <strong>the</strong> complete transformation to light duty vehicleswith full battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell powertrains. This is<strong>the</strong> only way that is efficient enough for <strong>the</strong> use of renewable<strong>energy</strong> to reach <strong>the</strong> CO2-targets in <strong>the</strong> LDV sector.In <strong>the</strong> future it may not be possible to power LDVs for allpurposes by rechargeable batteries only. Therefore, hydrogen isrequired as a renewable fuel especially for larger LDVs includinglight commercial vehicles. Biofuels and remaining oil will be usedin o<strong>the</strong>r applications where a substitution is even harder than forLDVs. Figure 11.22 shows <strong>the</strong> share of fuel cell vehicles(autonomous hybrids) and full battery electric vehicles (gridconnectable)in 2050 in <strong>the</strong> new vehicle market.11.3.2 projection of <strong>the</strong> future vehicle segment splitFor future vehicle segment split <strong>the</strong> scenario is constructed todisaggregate <strong>the</strong> light-duty vehicle sales into three segments:small, medium and large vehicles. In this way, <strong>the</strong> model shows<strong>the</strong> effect of ‘driving small urban cars’, to see if <strong>the</strong>y are suitablefor megacities of <strong>the</strong> future. The size and CO2 emissions of <strong>the</strong>OECD EUROPEOECD AMERICASOECD ASIA OCEANIALATIN AMERICAOTHER NON-OECD ASIAEASTERN EUROPE/EURASIACHINAMIDDLE EASTINDIAAFRICAvehicles are particularly interesting in <strong>the</strong> light of <strong>the</strong> enormousgrowth predicted in <strong>the</strong> LDV stock. For our purposes we coulddivide up <strong>the</strong> numerous car types as follows:• The very small car bracket includes city, supermini,minicompact cars as well as one and two seaters.• The small sized bracket includes compact and subcompactcars, micro and subcompact vans and small SUVs.• The medium sized bracket includes car derived vans and smallstation wagons, upper medium class, midsize cars and stationwagons, executive class, compact passenger vans, car derivedpickups, medium SUVs, 2WD and 4WD.• The large car bracket includes all kinds of luxury class, luxurymulti purpose vehicles, medium and heavy vans, compact andfull-size pickup trucks (2WD, 4WD), standard and luxurySUVs. In addition, we looked at light duty trucks in NorthAmerica and light commercial vehicles in China separately.In examining <strong>the</strong> segment split, we have focused most strongly on<strong>the</strong> two world regions which will be <strong>the</strong> largest emitters of CO2from cars in 2050: North America and China. In North Americatoday <strong>the</strong> small vehicle segment is almost non-existant. We foundit necessary to introduce here small cars substantially up to asales share of 50% in 2050, triggered by rising fuel prices andpossibly vehicle taxes. For China, we have anticipated a similarshare of <strong>the</strong> mature car market as for Europe and projected that<strong>the</strong> small segment will grow by 3% per year at <strong>the</strong> expenses of<strong>the</strong> larger segments in <strong>the</strong> light of rising mass mobility. Thesegment split is shown in Figure 11.23.figure 11.22: sales share of conventional ICE,autonomous hybrid and grid-connectable vehicles in 2050figure 11.23: vehicle sales by segment in 2009 and 2050in <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution scenario100%100%90%90%80%80%70%70%60%60%50%50%40%40%30%30%20%20%10%10%0%0%CONVENTIONAL•GRID CONNECTABLEAUTONOMOUS HYBRIDS LARGE• MEDIUM20052050OECD EUROPE20052050OECD AMERICAS20052050OECD ASIA OCEANIA20052050LATIN AMERICA20052050OTHER NON-OECD ASIA20052050EASTERN EUROPE/EURASIA20052050CHINA20052050MIDDLE EAST20052050INDIA20052050AFRICA288

Due to <strong>the</strong> higher costs of <strong>the</strong> technologyand renewable electricity availability, we have slightly delayedprogress in o<strong>the</strong>r countries. More cautious targets are applied forAfrica. The sales split in vehicles by fuel is presented in Figure11.24 for 2005 and 2050.figure 11.24: fuel split in vehicle sales for 2050<strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution by world region100%90%80%70%60%50%40%30%20%10%0%OECD EUROPEOECD AMERICASOECD ASIA OCEANIAPETROL (ONLY)DIESEL (ONLY)CNG/LPG• HYDROGENPLUGIN ELECTRICLATIN AMERICAOTHER NON-OECD ASIAEASTERN EUROPE/EURASIACHINAMIDDLE EASTfigure 11.25: development of <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> LDV stockunder <strong>the</strong> reference scenario3,5003,000INDIAAFRICA11.3.4 projection of <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> vehicle stock developmentThere are huge differences in forecasts for <strong>the</strong> growth of vehiclesales in developing countries. In general, <strong>the</strong> increase in sales andthus vehicle stock and ownersip is linked to <strong>the</strong> forecast of GDPgrowth, which is a well established correlation in <strong>the</strong> sciencecommunity. However, this scenario analysis found that technologyshift in LDVs alone – although linked to enormous efficiencygains and fuel switch - is not enough to fulfil <strong>the</strong> ambitiousEnergy [R]evolution CO2 targets. A slow down of vehicle salesgrowth and a limitation or even reduction in vehicle ownershipper capita compared to <strong>the</strong> reference scenario was thus required.Global urbanisation, <strong>the</strong> on-going rise of megacities, where spacefor parking is scarce, and <strong>the</strong> trend starting today that ownershipof cars might not be seen as desirable as in <strong>the</strong> past supports,draws a different scenario of <strong>the</strong> future compared to <strong>the</strong>reference case. Going against <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> pattern of a century, thisdevelopment would have to be supported by massive policyintervention to promote modal shift and alternative forms of carusage. The development of <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> car market is shown inFigure 11.25 and 11.26.figure 11.26: development of <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> LDV stockunder <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution scenario3,5003,00011transport | PROJECTION OF THE FUTURE LDV MARKETLDV stock (millions)2,5002,0001,5001,000LDV stock (millions)2,5002,0001,5001,000500500002000200520102015202020252030203520402045205020002005201020152020202520302035204020452050AFRICANON OECD ASIAINDIAMIDDLE EAST• CHINAEASTERN EUROPE/EURASIA• LATIN AMERICAOECD ASIA OCEANIA•OECD NORTH AMERICAOECD EUROPEAFRICANON OECD ASIAINDIAMIDDLE EAST• CHINAEASTERN EUROPE/EURASIA• LATIN AMERICAOECD ASIA OCEANIA•OECD NORTH AMERICAOECD EUROPE289


WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK11transport | CONCLUSION11.3.5 projection of <strong>the</strong> future kilometres driven per yearUntil a full shift from fossil to renewable fuels has taken place, drivingon <strong>the</strong> road will create CO2 emissions. Thus driving less contributes toour target for emissions reduction. However, this shift does not have tomean reduced mobility because <strong>the</strong>re are many excellent opportunitiesfor shifts from individual passenger road transport towards less CO2intense public or non-motorised transport.Data on average annual kilometres driven are uncertain in manyworld regions except for North America, Europe and recentlyChina. The scenario starts from <strong>the</strong> state-of-<strong>the</strong>-art knowledge onhow LDVs are driven in <strong>the</strong> different world regions and <strong>the</strong>nprojects a decline in car usage. This is a fur<strong>the</strong>r major buildingblock in <strong>the</strong> low carbon strategy of <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolutionscenario, which goes hand in hand with new mobility concepts likeco-modality and car-sharing concepts. In 2050, policies supporting<strong>the</strong> use of public transport and environmental friendly modes areanticipated to be in place in all world regions. Our scenario ofannual kilometres driven (AKD) by LDVs is shown in Figure11.27. In total, AKD fall almost by one quarter until 2050compared to 2010.figure 11.27: average annual LDV kilometres drivenper world region25,00020,00015,00010,0005,00002010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045 2050AFRICAINDIAMIDDLE EASTCHINAEASTERN EUROPE/EURASIANON OECD ASIALATIN AMERICAOECD ASIA OCEANIA•OECD NORTH AMERICAOECD EUROPE11.4 conclusionIn a business as usual world we project a high rise of transport<strong>energy</strong> demand until 2050 in all world regions in <strong>the</strong> Referencescenario, which is fuelled especially by fast developing countrieslike China and India.The aim of this chapter was <strong>the</strong>refore to show ways to reduce<strong>energy</strong> demand in general and <strong>the</strong> dependency on climatedamagingfossil fuels in <strong>the</strong> transport sector.The findings of our scenario calculations show that in order toreach <strong>the</strong> ambitious <strong>energy</strong> reduction goals of <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution scenario a combination of behavioral changes andtremendous technical efforts is needed:• a decrease of passenger and freight kilometerson a per capita base• a massive shift to electrically and hydrogen powered vehicleswhose <strong>energy</strong> sources may be produced by renewables• a gradual decrease of all modes’ <strong>energy</strong> intensities bytechnological progress• a modal shift from aviation to high speed rail and from roadfreight to rail freight.These measures must of course be accompanied by major efforts in<strong>the</strong> installation and extension of <strong>the</strong> necessary infrastructures as forexample in railway networks hydrogen and battery charginginfrastructure for electric vehicles and an electrification of highways.LiteratureAkerman, J.

WORLD ENERGY [R]EVOLUTIONA SUSTAINABLE WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK12glossary & appendix | 2005-2012 DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENERGY [R]EVOLUTION SCENARIOS2005 – 2012 developmentof <strong>energy</strong> [r]evolution scenariosGreenpeace published <strong>the</strong> first Energy [R]evolution scenario inMay 2005 for <strong>the</strong> EU-25 in conjunction with a 7-month long shiptour from Poland all <strong>the</strong> way down to Egypt. In five years <strong>the</strong> workhas developed significantly. The very first scenario was launched onboard of <strong>the</strong> ship with <strong>the</strong> support of former EREC Policy DirectorOliver Schäfer, <strong>the</strong> start of a long-lasting fruitful Energy[R]evolution collaboration between Greenpeace International andEREC. The German Aerospace Center’s Institute for TechnicalThermodynamics under Dr. Wolfram Krewitt’s leadership has been<strong>the</strong> scientific institution behind all published reports since <strong>the</strong>n aswell. Between 2005 and 2009, <strong>the</strong>se three very differentstakeholders managed to put toge<strong>the</strong>r over 30 scenarios forcountries from all continents and published two editions of <strong>the</strong>Global Energy [R]evolution scenario which became a wellrespected,progressive, alternative <strong>energy</strong> blueprint. The work hasbeen translated into over 15 different languages including Chinese,Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Spanish, Thai and Russian.The concept of Energy [R]evolution scenario has been underconstant development ever since and today we are able tocalculate employment effects in parallel to <strong>the</strong> scenariodevelopment as well. The calculation program MESAP/PlaNethas been developed by software company seven2one and lots offeatures have been developed for this project. For <strong>the</strong> 2010edition, we developed a standardised report tool, which providesus with a “ready to print” executive summary for each regionand/or country we calculate and finally all regions interact wi<strong>the</strong>ach o<strong>the</strong>r, so <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> scenario is set up like a cascade. Theseinnovative developments serve for an ever improving quality,faster development times and more user-friendly outputs.In <strong>the</strong> past years, a team of about 20 scientists for all regionsacross <strong>the</strong> world formed to review regional and or country specificscenarios and to make sure that it has a basis within <strong>the</strong> region.In some cases Energy [R]evolution scenarios have been <strong>the</strong> firsteverpublished, long-term <strong>energy</strong> scenario for a country, like <strong>the</strong>Turkish scenario published in 2009. Since <strong>the</strong> first Global Energy[R]evolution scenario published in January 2007, we have doneside events on every single UNFCCC climate conference, countless<strong>energy</strong> conferences and panel debates. Over 200 presentations inmore than 30 languages always had one message in common.“The Energy Revolution is possible; it is needed and pays off forfuture generations!”Many high level meetings took place, for example on <strong>the</strong> 15thJuly 2009 when <strong>the</strong> Chilean President Michelle Bacheletattended our launch event for <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution Chile.The Energy [R]evolution work is a corner-stone of <strong>the</strong>Greenpeace climate and <strong>energy</strong> work worldwide and we wouldlike to thank all involved stakeholders. Unfortunately, in October2009, Dr Wolfram Krewitt from DLR passed away far too earlyand left a huge gap for everybody. His <strong>energy</strong> and dedicationhelped to make <strong>the</strong> <strong>energy</strong> <strong>revolution</strong> project a true success story.Arthouros Zervos and Christine Lins from EREC have beeninvolved in this work from <strong>the</strong> very beginning and Sven Teske338from Greenpeace International heads this work since <strong>the</strong> firstdevelopment late 2004. The well-received layout of all Energy[R]evolution documents has been done – also from <strong>the</strong> verybeginning – from Tania Dunster and Jens Christiansen from“onehemisphere” in Sweden with enormous passions especially in<strong>the</strong> final phase when <strong>the</strong> report goes to print.The third version of <strong>the</strong> report, published in June 2010 in Berlin,reached out <strong>the</strong> scientific community to a much larger extent. TheIPCC’s Special Report Renewables (SRREN) chose <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution as one of <strong>the</strong> four benchmark scenarios for climatemitigation <strong>energy</strong> scenarios (discussed in this edition Chapter 4).That Energy [R]evolution was <strong>the</strong> most ambitious scenario:combining an uptake of renewable energies and <strong>energy</strong> efficiency,and put forwards <strong>the</strong> highest renewable <strong>energy</strong> share by 2050.However, this high share resulted in a very strict efficiencystrategy, and o<strong>the</strong>r scenarios actually had more renewables interms of Exajoule by <strong>the</strong> year 2050. Following <strong>the</strong> publication of<strong>the</strong> SRREN in May 2011 in Abu Dhabi, <strong>the</strong> ER became a widelyquoted <strong>energy</strong> scenario and is now part of many scientific debatesand referenced in numerous scientific peer-reviewed literatures.This new edition, <strong>the</strong> Energy [R]evolution 2012, takes intoaccount <strong>the</strong> significantly changed situation of <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> <strong>energy</strong>sector that has occurred in just two years. In Japan, <strong>the</strong>Fukushima Nuclear disaster following <strong>the</strong> devastating tsunami inJapan, triggered a faster phase-out of nuclear power in severalcountries. A serious oil spill occurred at <strong>the</strong> Deepwater Horizondrilling platform in <strong>the</strong> Gulf of Mexico in 2010, highlighting <strong>the</strong>damage that can be done to eco-systems, and some countries areindicating new oil exploration in ever-more sensitive environmentslike <strong>the</strong> Arctic Circle. There is an increase in shale gas, which is aparticularly carbon-intensive way to obtain gas, and has requireda more detailed analysis where <strong>the</strong> gas use projection in <strong>the</strong>Energy [R]evolution is coming from.In <strong>the</strong> renewable <strong>energy</strong> sector, <strong>the</strong>re has been a faster costreduction in <strong>the</strong> photovoltaic and wind industries, creating earlierbreak-even points for <strong>the</strong>se renewable <strong>energy</strong> investments. Newand more detailed analysis of renewable <strong>energy</strong> potential isavailable and <strong>the</strong>re are new storage technologies available, whichcould change <strong>the</strong> proportions of <strong>energy</strong> input types, for example,reduce <strong>the</strong> need for bio <strong>energy</strong> to make up <strong>the</strong> greenhouse gasreduction targets of <strong>the</strong> model.Taking <strong>the</strong> above into account, this edition of <strong>the</strong> Energy[R]evolution includes:• Detailed <strong>energy</strong> demand and technology investment pathwaysfor power, heating and transport• Detailed employment calculations for all sectors• Detailed analysis of <strong>the</strong> needed fossil fuel infrastructure (gas,oil exploration and coal mining capacities)• Detailed market analysis of <strong>the</strong> current power plant market

<strong>energy</strong>[r]evolutionGreenpeace is a <strong>global</strong> organisation that usesnon-violent direct action to tackle <strong>the</strong> mostcrucial threats to our planet’s biodiversity andenvironment. Greenpeace is a non-profitorganisation, present in 40 countries acrossEurope, <strong>the</strong> Americas, Africa, Asia and <strong>the</strong>Pacific. It speaks for 2.8 million supportersworldwide, and inspires many millions more totake action every day. To maintain itsindependence, Greenpeace does not acceptdonations from governments or corporations butrelies on contributions from individual supportersand foundation grants. Greenpeace has beencampaigning against environmental degradationsince 1971 when a small boat of volunteers andjournalists sailed into Amchitka, an area west ofAlaska, where <strong>the</strong> US Government wasconducting underground nuclear tests. Thistradition of ‘bearing witness’ in a non-violentmanner continues today, and ships are animportant part of all its campaign work.Ottho Heldringstraat 5, 1066 AZAmsterdam, The Ne<strong>the</strong>rlandst +31 20 718 2000 f +31 20 718 2002sven.teske@greenpeace.orgwww.greenpeace.orgThe Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC)is <strong>the</strong> voice of <strong>the</strong> <strong>global</strong> wind <strong>energy</strong> sector.GWEC works at highest internationalpolitical level to create better policyenvironment for wind power.
