5 The Rise of Renewable Energy Why renewables? Resource constraints Security of supply Climate protection Economic opportunities Already today, renewables provide 1/6 of German electricity Solar and wind provide half of that and have largest growth potential Fluctuating energy production does not necessarily match demand Growing renewables supply will produce increasing amounts of excess electricity Image: Microsoft Bing 5

6 Resource Constraints: Oil 100 Mb/day 80 World oil production by type in the IEA New Policies Scenario* million barrels per day Unconventional oil Natural gas liquids A huge gap! Crude oil - fields yet to be developed or found Crude oil currently producing fields Total crude oil Source: IEA World Energy Outlook 2010 *The IEA New Policies Scenario takes account of the broad policy commitments and energy and climate related plans that have been announced by countries around the world, assuming that they will actually implement the policies and measures, albeit in a cautious manner. 6

7 Renewable Electricity in the Grid Renewables cover almost complete German electricity production increase since 1990 (10% renewables in 2005, 15% in 2008) Renewable integration requires grid expansion Electricity export and demand management can only provide very limited relief All possible scenarios show significant excess electricity amounts starting in Large scale electricity storage can ease pressure on grid and increase useable renewable electricity amounts Production and storage of wind-hydrogen is a necessary complement to grid expansion 7

8 Fluctuating and non-dispatchable electricity Renewable electricity production [TWh/a] photovoltaics ~ 26 TWh/a offshore wind ~ 88 TWh/a onshore wind ~ 75 TWh/a Fluctuating resources amount to ~115TWh in 2020; ~190 TWh in 2030 (~2x/4x 2008 value; ~20/35% of total expected power generation) Source: BMU Leitstudie
