Global prospects for renewable energy

Michael Jefferson

Renewable Energy, 1996, vol. 8, issue 1, 1-5

Abstract: Renewable energy, especially its new forms, starts from a very small base. The pace of recent development and diffusion has been too slow, and effective action is required to accelerate development and diffusion. The paper provides the results of recently published work on global energy perspectives, based on six long-term scenarios, with particular respect to the possible contribution of renewable energy.

Keywords: World Energy Council; current assessments; scenarios for the future; action starting now required; realistic prospects versus technical potential; expansion inevitable; pace uncertain; potential for climate change mitigation; North/South shift; education; communication; political will (search for similar items in EconPapers)
