Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/026a1f/analyzing_the_rene)
has announced the addition of the “Analyzing
the Renewable Energy Industry in Australia” report to their offering.

Renewable energy effectively uses natural resources such as sunlight,
wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished.
Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power,
hydroelectricity/micro hydro, biomass and biofuels for transportation.

In 2006, about 18% of global final energy consumption came from
renewables, with 13% coming from traditional biomass, like wood-burning.
Hydropower was the next largest renewable source, providing three
percent, followed by hot water/heating which contributed 1.3%. Modern
technologies, such as geothermal, wind, solar, and ocean energy together
provided some 0.8% of final energy consumption. The technical potential
for their use is very large, exceeding all other readily available
sources.

Renewable energy technologies are sometimes criticized for being
unreliable or unsightly, yet the market is growing for many forms of
renewable energy. Wind power has a worldwide installed capacity of
74,223 MW and is widely used in several European countries and the USA.
The manufacturing output of the photovoltaics industry reached more than
2,000 MW per year in 2006, and PV power plants are particularly popular
in Germany.

Renewable energy is an essential part of Australia’s low emissions
energy mix and is important to Australia’s energy security. It plays a
strong role in reducing Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions and helping
Australia stay on track to meet its Kyoto target and beyond. Australian
Government support for renewable energy assists industry development,
reduces barriers to the national electricity market, and provides
community access to renewable energy.

This report gives an in-depth analysis of the Australian renewable
energy industry. In its research report – Analyzing the renewable Energy
Industry in Australia – Aruvian takes a look at this superbly charged
industry which is growing at a breakneck speed in Australia.

Starting off with a basic overview of the global energy industry,
research by Aruvian focuses on the global renewable energy industry. A
market profile, global market capacity, market-wise analysis, GHG
emissions, challenges facing the development of the renewable energy
market worldwide is all analyzed in this section. Following on from
this, a section is dedicated to analyzing the global policies which have
been essential in promoting the development of renewable energy in the
world. Policies analyzed in this section include the US Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) of 1978, policies related to cost
reduction, renewable energy certificates, transportation of biofuels,
amongst others.

Case studies from the global renewable energy industry focus on the
market developments in China, India, the Philippines, Malaysia,
Thailand, Denmark, and Japan.

Research then moves on to an analysis of the Australian energy sector,
following on to the actual analysis of the Australian renewable energy
industry. From here onwards, this highly comprehensive research report
includes data on the following (among others):
