Download or read book The Power of Renewables written by Chinese Academy of Engineering and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-01-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States and China are the world's top two energy consumers and, as of 2010, the two largest economies. Consequently, they have a decisive role to play in the world's clean energy future. Both countries are also motivated by related goals, namely diversified energy portfolios, job creation, energy security, and pollution reduction, making renewable energy development an important strategy with wide-ranging implications. Given the size of their energy markets, any substantial progress the two countries make in advancing use of renewable energy will provide global benefits, in terms of enhanced technological understanding, reduced costs through expanded deployment, and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions relative to conventional generation from fossil fuels. Within this context, the U.S. National Academies, in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), reviewed renewable energy development and deployment in the two countries, to highlight prospects for collaboration across the research to deployment chain and to suggest strategies which would promote more rapid and economical attainment of renewable energy goals. Main findings and concerning renewable resource assessments, technology development, environmental impacts, market infrastructure, among others, are presented. Specific recommendations have been limited to those judged to be most likely to accelerate the pace of deployment, increase cost-competitiveness, or shape the future market for renewable energy. The recommendations presented here are also pragmatic and achievable.

Download or read book Concentrating Solar Power in Developing Countries written by Natalia Kulichenko and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2012-07-13 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, different concentrating solar thermal technologies (CST) have reached varying degrees of commercial availability. This emerging nature of CST means that there are market and technical impediments to accelerating its acceptance, including cost competitiveness, an understanding of technology capability and limitations, intermittency, and benefits of electricity storage. Many developed and some developing countries are currently working to address these barriers in order to scale up CST-based power generation. Given the considerable growth of CST development in several World Bank Group partner countries, there is a need to assess the recent experience of developed countries in designing and implementing regulatory frameworks and draw lesson that could facilitate the deployment of CST technologies in developing countries. Merely replicating developed countries' schemes in the context of a developing country may not generate the desired outcomes. Against this background, this report (a) analyzes and draws lessons from the efforts of some developed countries and adapts them to the characteristics of developing economies; (b) assesses the cost reduction potential and economic and financial affordability of various CST technologies in emerging markets; (c) evaluates the potential for cost reduction and associated economic benefits derived from local manufacturing; and (d) suggests ways to tailor bidding models and practices, bid selection criteria, and structures for power purchase agreements (PPAs) for CST projects in developing market conditions.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, University of applied sciences, Nürnberg, course: Strategic Management, language: English, abstract: There are big plans for renewables in future: Countries target to 100 % domestic energy demand to be produced by renewable energies. High investments in the branch are supposed to bring the desired targets. The world’s demand for energy is growing rapidly since intensified globalization results in global economic growth and welfare giving companies the incentive to conquer new markets. As more electricity is needed, its’ price is expected to rise worldwide that hampers economic growth. The world’s demand is calling for a global energy mix that adapts to our world’s changing economic and ecological conditions. Thus, providing and combining various independent new energy resources for sustainability with the outlook of reducing CO2 emissions in the long term and to assure and improve energy supply around the global. China is successful due to its’ competitive advantage of producing lowcost solar modules which has badly affected the EU photovoltaic market and its competing enterprises, but granted the country itself a strong position in the global photovoltaic market with their financial opportunity to expand easily. The implementation of tariff regulation and minimum prices to restrain imports for the protection of Europe’s domestic market forces China to rethink its’ strategies: China’s high government subsidies target for intensive investments in form of expansions to new territories. As subsidies may lead to overcapacities in the home country some solar companies are preparing for market entries in emerging countries eager surviving plans of PV companies in times of high competition and falling prices to increase sales volumes to prevent another insolvency in the sector. Combining South Africa’s potential and new business opportunities in highly competitive photovoltaic markets Shunfeng International Clean Energy Ltd could help to boost Wuxi Suntechs’ figures to be in black again.
