Green Energy in Asia: Renewable investment, capacity growth and future outlook
http://www.reportlinker.com/p054678/asia-green-energy.html
Some key findings from this report...
• Electricity generation in Asia remains dominated by coal. Both China and Australia derive over 75.0% of their electricity from coal whilst over 50.0% of electricity is generated from coal in India.
• Electricity generation in non-OECD Asian countries will nearly triple in volume by 2030, rising to 10,185bn kWh from 3,517bn kWh in 2004 according to the EIA. Most of this additional power generation is expected to be coal-fired.
• Renewable energy source usage is significantly higher in Asia than in the US where renewables comprise just 11.5%. Renewables account for 32.0% of India's total electricity generation capacity. In China and Japan they represent 21.0% and 20.0% respectively.
• Asia holds the lead the world in hydroelectric power. Installed capacity of SHP in Asia account for more than 70.0% of the world SHP installed capacity..
The EIA forecasts that robust economic growth and improved standards of living will underpin a massive surge in power consumption in Asia.
China and India account for the world's largest projected increases in national electric power demand over 2004-2030. Most of this is likely to be fossil fuel based resulting in a surge in GHG emissions. In parallel, growing global concern about climate change will lead to international pressure on high polluting countries like India and China to curb their emissions. Cap and trade systems, once adopted by the US and Australia, will make the case of renewables more attractive in Asia.
The report analyses the current trends driving the use of renewable energy in Asia. This report compares the progress of each renewable energy technology in Asia with the rest of the world, identifies the key players and analyzes the potential and outlook for each technology.
