REN21 Renewables 2014 Global Status Report

GSR2014 Contributing Community

Renewable Energy in the World

Renewable energy provided an estimated 19% of global final energy consumption in 2012. The share of modern renewable energy increased to 10%. The share of traditional biomass was of 9%.

Estimated Renewable Energy Share of Global Final Energy Consumption, 2012

Data source: REN21 Renewables 2014 Global Status Report

Renewable energy comprise 26.4% of global power generation capacity 22.1% of global electricity was produced from renewable energy Renewables accounted for 56% of new installed power capacity in 2013. Total RE power capacity: 1,560 GW

Power Sector

Estimated Renewable Energy Share of Global Electricity Production, End-2013

Based on renewable generating capacity in operation end-2013 Data source: REN21 Renewables 2014 Global Status Report

Heating & Cooling

Small but growing renewable energy share of final global heat demand: approx. 10%.

At least 20 countries in Europe use renewables in their district heat system, with at least 20% of EU wide district heat generated by renewable sources.

Trends: Increasing use of renewables in

combined heat and power plants Renewables in district systems as best

practice for RE integration in cities Growing use of renewable heat for

industrial purposes

Solar PV had a record year in 2013: About +39 GW added Total capacity: 139 GW For the first time, more PV capacity was added than wind capacity. China accounted for a third of global capacity additions, followed by Japan & the U.S.

Solar Photovoltaics (PV) – total global capacity

Solar PV Total Global Capacity, 2004–2013


Total primary energy consumption of biomass was ~57 EJ in 2013. Almost 60% was traditional biomass. Modern biomass heat capacity: 296 GWth (increase of 1 %) Global bio-power capacity: 88 GW (increase: + 5 GW)

Jobs in Renewable Energy

Global employment continued to increase. An estimated 6.5 million direct or indirect jobs in the renewable energy industry Noteworthy shifts along the value chain segments and from manufacturing to installation and maintenance

Jobs in Renewable Energy

* Employment information for large-scale hydropower is incomplete and not included Data source: IRENA

Global new investment estimated USD 214.4 billion in 2013, down 14% from 2012. incl. hydropower > 50MW, it reached USD 249.4 billion. Reasons for the decline: policy uncertainty, retroactive support reductions, sharp reductions in technology costs Net investment in new renewables power capacity outpaced fossil fuels for the fourth year running.

Global Investment in Renewable Energy

Global New Investment in Renewable Power and Fuels, Developed and Developing Countries, 2004–2013

Does not include investment in hydropower >50MW Data source: UNEP FS/ BNEF Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2014

Renewable Energy Policy Landscape

Countries with Renewable Energy Policies, Early 2014


At least 144 countries had renewable energy targets.

At least 138 countries had renewable energy policies in place, out of which 95 are developing countries (up from 15 in 2005).

Basis for decision-making

• necessary for energy planning,

• informs policy design and adaptation efforts

Demonstrates current situation and opportunities

• Attract investors

• Attract private industry

Shows the potential of the region

Continuous data is necessary for country to assess progression towards energy transition, energy security, energy access and stimulates economic development

Good renewable energy data is needed for good energy decisions

Why do we need good data?

... some renewable energy data challenges

Energy = cross-cutting and politically sensitive

Players who don’t have the mandate on energy might have energy data but cannot/ do not communicate

Different interests

Formal vs. informal data – Tensions between stakeholders

Renewable energy and energy efficiency data

Disperse/decentralized (bioenergy, solar thermal energy, energy access,…)

Small scale

Not traded (ex. traditional biomasse)

difficult to track
