Renewables Information provides a comprehensive
review of historical and current market trends in OECD countries.
This reference document brings together essential statistics on
renewable 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 an overview of the development
of renewables and waste in the world over the 1990 to 2006
period. A greater focus is given to OECD countries with a review
of electricity generation and capacity from renewable and waste
energy sources.
Part II of the publication provides a corresponding statistical
overview of developments in the world and OECD renewables
and waste market.
Part III provides, in tabular form, a more detailed and
comprehensive picture of developments for renewable and waste
energy sources for each of the 30 OECD member countries,
including 2007 preliminary data. It encompasses energy indicators,
generating capacity, electricity and heat production from renewable
and waste sources, as well as production and consumption of
renewables and waste.
Renewables Informations is one of a series of annual
IEA statistical publications on major energy sources;
other reports are Coal Information, Electricity Information,
Natural Gas Information and Oil Information.
