We should leave oil before it leaves us Fatih Birol, chief economist IEA, March 2008 Brent Crude Oil price increased from 50 $ (Jan 2007) to 147 $ (July 2008) per barrel Very good reasons to change our energy supply system ENERGY SUPPLY IS NOT SECURE Energy import dependency from only a few countries is growing strongly FOSSIL AND NUCLEAR ENERGY SOURCES ARE FINITE Growing demand and limited resources lead to exploding energy prices CLIMATE CHANGE REQUIRES ACTION Climate change is mainly caused by fossil energy consumption, we have to reduce CO 2 -emissions worldwide CO 2 -Concentration is growing continuously (IPCC 2007) BSW-Solar 2008 Solar Markets Germany, August 22nd, 2008, New Delhi 2
The Sustainable Solution: Mix of Renewable Energies Only Renewable Energies are everlasting are domestic energy sources are sustainable do not harm the climate are becoming cheaper and cheaper increase domestic and regional added value are creating jobs Quelle: Aus BMU, Daten EE, Juni 2007 Challenges for RES are the financing of investments as long as RES are more expensive than fossil and nuclear energy the reconstruction of the energy supply system to a distributed generation system based on RES Quelle: Solarwatt Quelle: Wagner & Co BSW-Solar 2008 Solar Markets Germany, August 22nd, 2008, New Delhi 3

Solar Thermal Vision 2030 of the European Solar Thermal Technology Platform ESTTP New buildings 100% solar heated buildings will be the building standard Existing building stock Solar refurbished buildings, > 50% solar heated, will be the most cost effective way to refurbish the building stock Industrial and agricultural applications solar thermal systems will cover process heating and cooling demands Overall goal: Cover 50% of the low temperature need up to 250 C with solar thermal BSW-Solar 2008 Solar Markets Germany, August 22nd, 2008, New Delhi 13
Example: Air Collector Facade In future the building envelope is not only used for protection and aesthetics but also for absorption of solar energy and therefore supplying the building with energy BSW-Solar 2008 Solar Markets Germany, August 22nd, 2008, New Delhi 14
Conclusions Solar Thermal Energy Solar thermal energy will play an important role to provide hot water, space heating and cooling in the future sustainable energy mix The potential and the importance of solar thermal energy was underestimated worldwide, now we have to develop the technology and the markets systematically BSW-Solar 2008 Solar Markets Germany, August 22nd, 2008, New Delhi 15
