The reports contain global investments and other trends in green energy

ScienceDaily (July 15, 2010) – in 2009 for the second year in a row, both in the US and Europe added makes more capacity from renewable energy sources like wind and solar, as conventional sources such as coal, gas and nuclear, according to twin reports today by the programme of the United Nations and the renewable energy policy network for the 21st century (REN21) in life launched.

Renewable energy accounted for 60 percent of newly installed capacity in Europe and more than 50 percent in the United States in the year 2009.Dieses year or next, experts predict that will add more capacity of electricity supply from renewable as non-renewable sources world as a whole.

Reports contain attracted the attention of investors and Governments in various regions of the world trends in the global green energy sector including what sources.

You say, investments in core clean energy (new renewables, biofuels and energy efficiency) decreased by 7% in the year 2009, US Dollar.Viele sub-sectors, dropped 162 billion invested in the money, including large utility scale solar power and biofuels.However, there was record investment in Windenergie.Wenn for solar water heaters spend, as well as total installation costs for roof solar PV, total has actually increased investments in 2009 in 2009, against the economic trend.

New private and public investment in clean energy core 53 percent in China jumped 37 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity in the year 2009.China added, more than any other country.

Globally, nearly 80 GW of renewable energy capacity has been added including 31 GW of hydropower and 48 GW non - hydro - capacity.

2009 China surpassed the United States as the country with the largest investments in clean energy.China's wind farm development was the strongest investment feature of the year by far although it makes other areas of strength, worldwide in 2009, in particular North Sea offshore wind investment and finance storage and electric vehicle technology companies.

Wind energy and solar PV additions to reach record high of 38 GW and 7 GW respectively.Totals in utility-scale solar PV sunk investments compared with 2008, partly as a result of the big drop in the cost of solar PV.Dieser was investment in small decline by record (roof) - compensated solar PV projects.

The reports also show that countries with policies promoting heute-- half - of which have doubled renewable energy from 55 in 2005 more than 100 in the Entwicklungsl?ndern-and rapid growth of the sector have played a critical role.

Reports the sister UNEP's global trends in sustainable energy investment 2010 and the REN21's renewables 2010 global status report, published by Under-Secretary-General Achim Steiner, UNEP's Executive Director and Mohamed El-Ashry, Chairman of the REN21.The UNEP report was London Bloomberg new energy finance vorbereitet.Der REN21 report produced by a team of authors in collaboration with a global network of research partners.

The UNEP report focuses itself on the global trends in sustainable energy investment, cover, the renewable energy and energy efficiency. REN21 report offers a broad look at the status of renewable energy, which today worldwide power regeneration, heating and cooling and transport fuels, and draws the landscape of policies and objectives introduced around the world to promote renewable energy.

Mr Steiner says: "the sustainable energy investment story of 2009 was one of resistance, frustration and determination. resistance to the financial downturn of all sectors of the global economy and frustration during the UN Climate Convention meeting in Copenhagen was not the major breakdown that could have occurred, neither it was meeting was was the big break which gave so many erhofft.Noch determination to transform many industry actors and Governments, especially in emerging markets, the financial and economic crisis into an opportunity for greener growth."

"It remains however a serious gap between the ambition and science where the world in 2020 must be dangerous climate change to vermeiden.Aber underlining these five years of research that this gap is not irreconcilable ist.In of fact, renewable energy systematically and persistently against the trends and can play its role in implementing a carbon resource efficient green economy when increasingly difficult market sends Government policy signals to investors," he added.

Mr El-Ashry says: "favorable policies, the now in more than 100 countries have policy efforts are needed instrumental in the renewable energy before recently played. the upward trend of renewables continue growth power of the global now to the next level and promote massive renewable technologies."

Michael Liebreich, Chief Executive of Bloomberg new energy finance says: "during the current economic downturn shows relatively robust performance of the sector, no bubble was clean energy created by the late stages of the credit boom, but instead is an investment theme that will remain important for the coming years."

2009 Represented renewable sources:

25 Percent of the global power (electricity) capacity (1,230 gigawatts (GW) of 4,800 GW-total, all sources, including coal, gas, nuclear) 18 percent of the global makes production60 percent of newly installed makes capacity in Europe and more than 50 percent in the United States; the world as a whole should 50 percent or more in the newly installed makes capacity from renewable energy sources to reach in 2010 or 2011.
