  1. RENEWABLE ENERGY POTENTIALS Mohamed El-Ashry Chairman REN 21 3rd Ministerial Meeting in Gleneagles Dialogue, Berlin, September 10, 2007

  2. RENEWABLE ENERGY • What opportunities do renewable energy technologies (RETs) offer to major markets in the medium-and long-term? • Can RETs realistically become the large scale low carbon solution in the medium-and long-term? • What will drive a clean technology revolution based on RET?

  3. OPPORTUNITIES • Very high potential overall— no resource constraint. • Markets • RET could satisfy global electricity and heat demand. • Technical potential of bioenergy is not sufficient to displace fossil fuels entirely in the transport sector.

  4. OPPORTUNITIES (CONTD.) • Regions • Sufficient renewable energy resource potential in every region. • Some regions are rich in specific resource: • HYDROPOWER in Asia • BIOMASS crops in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union • ONSHORE WIND in North America • SOLAR(CSP&PV) in Africa and the Middle East • GEOTHERMAL in Asia and Latin America • OCEAN POWER in Asia, North America, and Oceania

  5. RENEWABLE ENERGY MARKET SHARE BY 2050 • Electricity

  6. RENEWABLE ENERGY MARKET SHARE BY 2050 (CONTD.) • Heating and Cooling

  7. RENEWABLE ENERGY MARKET SHARE BY 2050 (CONTD.) • Transport Fuels

  8. DRIVERS FOR A RET REVOLUTION • Costs • Capital • Climate
