Renewable Energy
More than one hundred countries are now covered by this new online database, launched at the Beijing International Renewable Energy Conference 2005. This freely accessible and flexible tool outlines national renewable energy policies and measures in place. It shows which countries have renewable energy targets and who are market leaders for individual types of renewable energy technology. Searchable by country, by policy type or by renewable energy technology, the database gives the broad picture on progress with deployment of renewables around the world.
Part I of this publication provides a statistical overview of 2003 developments in the markets for renewables and waste in the OECD Member countries. It also provides selected renewables indicators for non-OECD countries. Part II provides, in tabular form, a more detailed and comprehensive picture, including 2004 preliminary data, of developments for renewable and waste energy sources for each of the 30 OECD Member countries. It encompasses economic and energy indicators, generating capacity, electricity and heat production from renewable and waste sources, as well as production and consumption of renewable and waste products.
This study provides a comprehensive review of renewable energy markets in IEA countries, and renewable energy policies related to research and innovation and to market deployment strategies. Centrale Rocher Grand Mère 2004The information is intended to provide a valuable resource for IEA Member governments to assess their renewables options in particular, and to pursue their energy strategies more generally. Part I provides overview information and statistics on renewable energy since 1970 and trends in research and innovation policies in IEA countries. It also categorises and explains the large number of market deployment policies and measures in IEA countries. Part II contains profiles for each IEA country with data on renewable energy supply and an examination of market trends. The profiles take an historic look at R&D and market deployment policies and measures.
Energy Policy
This publication presents case studies drawn from recent large-scale blackouts in Europe, North America, and Australia. It concludes that a comprehensive, integrated policy response is required to avoid preventable large-scale blackouts in the future.
