Renewables information 2005

Renewables Information provides a comprehensive review of historical and current market trends in the OECD.

This reference document brings together in one volume essential statistics on renewables and waste energy sources. It therefore provides a strong foundation for policy and market analysis, which in turn can better inform the policy decision process to select policy instruments best suited to meet domestic and international objectives.

Part I of the publication provides a statistical overview of 2003 developments in the markets for renewables and waste in the OECD Member countries. It also provides selected renewables indicators for non-OECD countries.

Part II provides, in tabular form, a more detailed and comprehensive picture, including 2004 preliminary data, of developments for renewable and waste energy sources for each of the 30 OECD Member countries. It encompasses economic and energy indicators, generating capacity, electricity and heat production from renewable and waste sources, as well as production and consumption of renewable and waste products.
