Renewable Energy: Technologies and Global MarketsNEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Use this report to: REASONS FOR THE STUDY Market studies have become increasingly stove-piped in terms of green technology in general and renewable energy sources in particular. This is a natural progression as each renewable energy source employs different technologies, has different constraints and offers different possibilities to various classes of users. However, considering renewable energy sources together allows for an assessment of the combined contribution they can make in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, helping countries achieve energy independence, conserving natural resources and improving the environment in various ways. Looking at renewables in a single report also allows an assessment of policy-relevant issues in terms of gauging where support is warranted, how close some energy sources are to providing significant contributions to the portfolio of available resources, and what metrics might be useful in deciding what energy sources are best equipped to satisfy the needs of individual countries and regions. SCOPE OF THE REPORT The scope of this report is intentionally wide. We cover the major sources of renewable energy as primary fuels—hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal and oceanic sources (wave, tidal and thermal) and liquid biofuels for transportation. There is no shortage in the marketplace of reports on each of these sources. However, what existing reports lack and what this report is intended to provide is a global perspective that places each source in a relevant context for decision makers in both the public and private sectors. INTENDED AUDIENCE This report is intended for professionals working at several levels in the energy and environmental fields. Although the report is structured around specific technologies, it is largely nontechnical in nature and focuses on which technologies work and their market shares and predicted prices instead of theory and jargon. Therefore, the report's main intended audience is executive management, marketing professionals and financial analysts. The report is not written specifically for scientists and technologists but may be of interest to this audience as it does discuss the market for their work, including the availability of government and corporate research funding for different technologies and applications. Others who may find the report informative include government agencies and environmental and public policy interest groups concerned with energy, sustainable development and the environment. METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this study. To obtain market data, BCC Research surveyed approximately 33 companies, including manufacturers, utilities, regulators, environmental analysts and reporters, and commercial consumers. In addition, data was compiled from current financial and trade information and government sources.
