• Global Futures Report
• Renewables Interactive Map
Developing networks, expanding outreach efforts• Contributors network
• Cooperation with other organisations to promote renewables
Catalysing discussion and debate• International Renewable Energy Conference (IREC)
• South Africa 2015
• REN21 Renewables Academy
REN21: SUPPORT THE RAPID UPTAKE OF RENEWABLES WORLDWIDE
2004 – 2014: A DECADE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY GROWTH SURPASSING EXPECTATIONS
Projected levels of renewable energy for 2020 were already surpassed by 2010.
Global installed capacity and production from all renewable technologies have increased substantially.
Significant cost reductions for most technologies.
Supporting policies spread throughout the world.
The First Decade: 2004-2014
EVOLUTION OF RENEWABLES AROUND THE WORLD
Middle East And North Africa
China
India
Europe
Australia Oceania
Africa: sub-Saharan

RENEWABLE ENERGY CHAMPIONS – total capacity
The First Decade: 2004-2014
NEW RENEWABLE POWER CAPACITY ADDITIONS BY TECHNOLOGY, 2004-2013
WIND POWER CAPACITY IN THE WORLD: END OF 2013
The First Decade: 2004-2014
SOLAR POWER CAPACITY IN THE WORLD : (END OF 2013)
The First Decade: 2004-2014
HYDROPOWER CAPACITY IN THE WORLD: END OF 2013
The First Decade: 2004-2014
HEATING & COOLING
Small but growing renewable energy shareof final global heat demand: approx. 10%
Trends:
Increasing use of renewables incombined heat and power plants
Renewables in district systems as bestpractice for RE integration in cities
Growing use of renewable heat forindustrial purposes
Hybrid solutions in building renovation
Greater attention to the heating andcooling sector needed
TRANSPORT
Liquid biofuels met about 2.3% of totaltransport fuel demand in 2013.
Growing interested in gaseous biofuels andhybrid options (e.g. biodiesel-natural gasbuses, or electric-diesel transport)
Limited, but increasing initiatives to linkelectric transport systems with RE, particularat city/regional level
The First Decade: 2004-2014
GLOBAL RENEWABLE ENERGY INVESTMENT, 2004-2013
GLOBAL RENEWABLE ENERGY INVESTMENT BY WORLD REGIONS
Developed Countries: annual investment in 2014: USD 131.3 billion
Developing Countries: annual investment in 2013: USD 138.9 billion
Global New Investment in Renewable Power and Fuels, by Region, 2004–2013
Data source: UNEP FS/ BNEF Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2014 Data include Government and corporate R&D
The First Decade: 2004-2014
RENEWABLE ENERGY JOBS DOUBLED IN THE PAST DECADE
IRENA 2013
RE POLICY LANDSCAPE
At least 154 countries withrenewable energy targets.
At least 145 countries withrenewable energy policies.
Focus on adaptating existingpolicies to keep pace with rapidlychanging cost and circumstances
Most policies focus on power:mainly feed-in-tariffs andrenewable portfolio standards;public competitive bidding ortendering gained furtherprominence
45 countries with RE heat targets
DISTRIBUTED RENEWABLE ENERGY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Energy access and the use ofdistributed renewable energyincreased.
On all continents except Africa,growth in population electrifiedis bigger than the growth in totalpopulation.
Rural energy markets areincreasingly being recognised asbusiness opportunities.
Innovative business models suchas ESCOs or „fee for service“
Share of Population with Electricity Access, and Rate of Electrification versus Population Growth
THE FUTURE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY – WHAT IS IN THE CARDS?
“The future of renewable energy is fundamentally a
choice, not a foregone conclusion given technology
and economic trends.”
The First Decade: 2004-2014
CHANGE IN PERCEPTION – 100 % RE SCENARIOS EMERGE
• Energy sector carbon emissions remained stable, while the global economy grew
• Clear that RE are the least cost option for CO2 reduction
• PV and wind continue to dominate and push electrification of other sectors faster than expected
• Heating / Transport
• Energy + power markets (= utilities) are increasingly affected by RE uptake
• Huge potential for renewables due to improved economics of storage
• System-wide policies are still lacking
• New business models starting to include larger market shares of renewables
• Decoupling of future fossil fuels (coal, gas oil) development appears disconnected from renewable energy developments
