SOLAR ENERGY WHITE PAPER

The opportunity for growth in the global photovoltaic solar energy sector over the next decade or more is substantial, with the United States market alone estimated to grow to 7 to 10 times its current levels in just the next 5 years or so. Most of this growth will be fueled by silicon solar cell technology. The silicon solar cell segment of that market can be expected to generate revenues in the range of $14B to $25B in that time frame, assuming an average price for the cells is about $0.50 per watt of output power, a not unreasonable target.

Offshore Wind Market Report: 2022 Edition

whitePaper | January 17, 2023

In the United States, commercial-scale offshore wind energy deployment is at an early stage with only 42 megawatts (MW) generating power; however, the domestic industry is poised for an exponential increase in new installations after the first large commercial projects advanced to the construction phase in 2021–2022. Over the past 20 years, offshore wind energy got a head start outside the United States with the help of coordinated European offshore wind energy incentives.

The Energy Crisis

whitePaper | July 12, 2022

As we experience an energy crisis that is fueling inflation with severe impact on households and businesses all over Europe and forcing factories to curtail their production or even to shut down, citizens are asked to reduce their energy consumption while governments scramble to secure alternative fuel sources. These, however, are only short-term measures, and there is no doubt that this winter will prove taxing for many.

Decentralized Energy White Paper: Adaptive Local EnergyCommunities

whitePaper | October 7, 2022

The decarbonization targets and the development of renewable and low carbon technologies are changing the electricity systems in UK and worldwide. The sustainable implementation of this changes in the energy markets can be achieved only if the consumers/ prosumers are rightly incentivised. Furthermore, the integration of the system, transmission and distribution network operators in the overall local energy portfolio is crucial for the successful and practical operation of the smart local energy systems (SLES).

Is the sun shining on new energy sources?

whitePaper | January 27, 2020

Although the European Union (EU) seems to be on track to meet this year’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target of 20% compared to 1990 levels, it is currently not projected to achieve the 2030 targets. In line with the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015, these targets relate to domestic GHG emissions, the share of renewable energy sources and energy efficiencyi . Hence, radical change is required and we all need to do our bit. With road transport accounting for approximately 20% of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions in the EU alone, the mobility sector can play an important role in helping to accomplish the environmental targets.
