DR. WOLFGANG PALZ

%100 Yenilenebilir Enerji Dünyası için Seçenekler

Özet

In the last few years clean Solar Power and Wind Power have become mainstream in the world’s electricity markets. They attracted hundreds of billions of Dollars of new investment. By the end of this year a total 300 GW of Solar Photovoltaics and 500 GW of Wind Power will have been installed and are operating worldwide. China and the USA are currently world market leaders for both technologies. Turkey is for the moment still left behind in the global race for a more sustainable energy system. As PV and Wind Power are intermittent electricity providers other sources most come in to guarantee a continuous supply for the consumers. At present this role is still played by the conventional fossil and nuclear energies, but in a 100% RE supply scenarios Biomass must be, next to decentralized Hydro Power, the essential link for a permanent and secure energy supply in all sectors of Power, Heating, and Transport. By 2050, Biomass is projected to supply 30% of global needs in a 100% supply scenario.
