Presentation—Global Renewable Energy Policy Perspectives
The REN21 Renewables 2011 Global Status Report shows that the renewable energy sector continues to perform well despite continuing economic recession, incentive cuts, and low natural-gas prices. In 2010, renewable energy supplied an estimated 16% of global final energy consumption and delivered close to 20% of global electricity. Renewable capacity now comprises about a quarter of total global power-generating capacity. In this webinar, go in depth and behind the scenes of the REN21 report with Christine Lins, Executive Director of REN21. Learn more about the report's findings and what lies ahead for renewable energy.
