Powering the future: mapping our low-carbon path to 2050
Powering the future: mapping our low-carbon path to 2050

1st December 2009

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Domestic policy, Economics, Fuel switching, Policy law and regulation, Renewables

Powering the Future evaluates options for CO2 emissions reduction across all sectors of the UK economy. Incorporating government published statistics on the current energy consumption and CO2 emissions of each sector, it creates models that allow each improvement option to be analysed and evaluated. Scenario analysis is used to apply a consistent set of such options across all the sectors to evaluate overall CO2 emissions and to compare the value of the different options.

Economic impacts from the promotion of renewable energies: the German experience
Economic impacts from the promotion of renewable energies: the German experience

1st October 2009

Topic(s): Domestic policy, Economics, Energy security, Renewables

This paper reviews Germany’s Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), focusing on its costs and the associated implications for job creation and climate protection. The authors argue that German renewable energy policy, and in particular the adopted feed-in tariff scheme, has failed to harness the market incentives needed to ensure a viable and cost-effective introduction of renewable energies into the country’s energy portfolio.

The UK renewable energy strategy
The UK renewable energy strategy

1st July 2009

Topic(s): Domestic policy, Economics, Energy security, Policy law and regulation, Renewables

This strategy document explains how the UK Government will radically increase its use of renewable electricity, heat and transport to meet its legally-binding target to ensure 15% of its energy comes from renewable sources by 2020. The document describes how the United Kingdom will tackle climate change, reducing emissions of CO2 by over 750 million tonnes between 2009 and 2030. It will also promote the security of the UK’s energy supply, reducing overall fossil fuel demand by around 10% and gas imports by 20–30% against what they would have been in 2020. And it outlines opportunities for the UK economy with the potential to create up to half a million more jobs in the UK renewable energy sector resulting from around £100 billion of new investment. In parallel with energy saving, nuclear and carbon capture and storage, this is a key element of the nation’s overall transition plan for setting the UK on the path to achieve a low-carbon, sustainable future that helps address dangerous climate change.

A discussion paper on a mechanism for sectoral emission reduction action: the case of China’s electricity sector
A discussion paper on a mechanism for sectoral emission reduction action: the case of China’s electricity sector

1st December 2008

Topic(s): Domestic policy, Economics, Renewables

The authors of this paper discuss mitigation and financing potentials of China’s electricity sector. It is a very large emitting sector, and there are many technologies available for improving emissions performance. They believe there are significant potential benefits both for sustainable development in developing countries and for the global atmosphere. However, they emphasise that theirs is a proposal for a voluntary mechanism, therefore countries must be convinced that it is in their best interests in order for it to proceed.

Solar generation V – 2008: solar electricity for over one billion people and two million jobs by 2020
Solar generation V – 2008: solar electricity for over one billion people and two million jobs by 2020

1st September 2008

Topic(s): Domestic policy, Economics, Solar energy

This report aims to compile a detailed quantitative knowledge base, coupled with clearly defined and realistic assumptions from which extrapolations could be made on the likely development of the solar electricity market up to 2030 and beyond.

This EPIA/Greenpeace report looks forward to what solar power could achieve - given the right market conditions and an anticipated fall in costs - over the first three decades of the twenty-first century. As well as projections for installed capacity and energy output, it makes assessments of the level of investment required, the number of jobs which would be created, and the crucial effect which an increased input from solar electricity will have on greenhouse gas emissions.
