It should be borne in mind that such indicators
reflect the country’s energy efficiency only
indirectly. To ascertain the potential
improvement to energy efficiency detailed
analysis of the economic structure, foreign
trade balance, climatic and geographical
features, comparative study of power process
efficiency and balances in separate economic
sectors and regions.

Renewable energy sources: rhetoric and reality
The change to green power is often
seen as the main way of improving
the planet’s environment.
Governments of developed countries
have adopted regulatory programs to
develop green power production and
are spending billion dollar budgets to
implement these policies.
Special tariffs and “green certificate”
programs are being introduced to
attract investment in the industry
which enable suppliers and
consumers of such energy to enjoy
incentives and additional profits.
Green architecture is a way to
improve efficiency in power
consumption.

Renewable energy sources: rhetoric and reality
By the beginning of 2008, 43
countries had plans to change to
renewable sources of energy.
Countries eager to cast off their
dependence on fossil fuels (oil,
gas and coal) plan to produce 5-
30% of their electricity using
hydro, solar, wind and biomass
technologies by 2011.
Austria is the most ambitious in
this respect (by 2010, it plans to
produce 78% of its power using
renewable energy), followed by
Sweden (60%) and Latvia (49,3%).

Desertec project
«Within 6 hours deserts receive
more energy from the sun than
humankind consumers within a
year».
Dr. Gerhard Knies
Under the DESERTEC proposal,
concentrating solar power systems,
PV systems and wind parks would
be located on 6,500 square miles
(17,000 km2) in the Sahara Desert.

Aquamarine Power and Queen's
University Belfast teamed up to
develop the Oyster hydro-electric
wave energy converter.
The first 315kW Oyster 1 was grid-
connected at the European Marine
Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney,
Scotland in 2009.
The next-generation 2.5MW Oyster
2 is scheduled for installation at
EMEC in 2011.

The aim of the renewal project is to
reduce fossil-fuel based energy
consumption to zero, and thereby
eliminate all carbon-dioxide
emissions.
Two strategies have been adopted:
minimize energy demand and make
use of local energy resources. The
most advanced techniques and
technologies will be called into use
to fulfil the most demanding
aesthetic, functional and comfort
requirements while relying purely
on solar and geothermal energy to
meet all its needs.

Renewable energy – innovation in the energy
sector
Advantages of Renewable Energy
- wide range of sources for
renewable energy,
- sources of renewable energy
exceed regional demands by many
times,
- more or less uniform distribution
across the globe and all-pervasive
presence of various types of
renewable energy,
- renewable nature of the resources,
- environmental cleanness: no
emissions, no thermal pollution of
planet

Renewable energy – innovation in the energy
sector
Disadvantage of Renewable
Energy:
-A higher price per unit of energy
(2- 3);
- Limited range of equipment
manufacturers;
- Voltage fluctuations due to
uneven solar, wind, water
activity;
- A huge role of the state as an
enabling authority;
- Protectionism: RES evolve from
a taxes of hydrocarbons.
- For Russia: wear state grid is
min. 65%.

Status and trends in renewable energy around the
globe
Investment in renewable energy in 2008 came to
$120B.
In 2009: China – $34.6B, USA – $18.6B,
Germany - $12B
The established capacity of electricity generators
using renewable sources of energy (excluding large
scale hydro-electric stations) by the end of 2008 was
more than 280 GW (> 5% of the total capacity of all
electricity generators around the world, > 3.5% of the
global electricity production and > 25% of the
electricity generated by all of the nuclear power
stations around the world. In April 2009 generation
from renewable energy exceeded that of nuclear
power stations for the first time.
