Evaluation ofEvaluation of DevelopmentDevelopment Rates of RESRates of RESin Europe up to the presentin Europe up to the present

Hydro, Geothermal & PV:Hydro, Geothermal & PV: Development rates as expected Should reach the targets

Biomass & Solar Collectors:Biomass & Solar Collectors:

Development rates below White Paper targets Stronger political support needed Reaching the targets seems problematic without mobilisation of the EU

Agriculture infrastructures (resource supply) and without large

industries involvement (conversion & utilization) Wind Energy:Wind Energy:

Development rates largely above targets Should exceed target

22/27

20 % by 2020 A contribution of RES to total inland

consumption of 20 % by 2020 is possible.

The contribution of RES to electricity

production will be more than 33 % in 2020

The contribution of RES to heat production

will be 25 % in 2020.

The contribution of biofuels can be more than10% in 2020.


23/27

Benefits of 20 % target Total RES investment of 443 billion in the period 2001-

2020

126,7 323,9 billion of cumulated avoided external costs

between 2001 and 2020

115,8 billion of cumulative avoided fuel cost reduction in

EU15 (2001-2020)

728 million tons/year of CO2 emission reduction in 2020

representing 17,3% of the total GHG emissions in 1990

Creation of more than 2 million full time jobs until 2020

K4RESK4RES-- H ProjectH Project5 Key Issues for RES- H:

1. Verifiable Targets for RES-H: Marketmonitoring, statistics andmethods for target setting

2. Quantifying the energy delivery ofindividual RES-H installations:Methods for measurement andcalculation

3. Regulations: Best practice to promote

RES-H, identification of regulationshampering RES-H usage

4. Financial Incentives: Best practice topromote RES-H

5. Innovative RES-H applications: Issuesspecific to upcoming RES-Htechnologies
