Global renewable power generation market demand was 6890.7 TWh (2019) and is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 7.9% between 2020-2027. The global energy crisis has prompted the demand for sustainable energy and power production. Renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy are replacing many conventional energy sources such as fossil fuel. These renewable energy sources not only produce the most energy efficiently but also have the least negative environmental impact. Many governments around the globe have established regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Kyoto Protocol was introduced in 1997 by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It was one of the major steps towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions in different countries.
The 2015 Paris Agreement, which saw several countries pledge their support to increasing the use of renewable energy, is a significant factor in the improvement of the market for wind and solar energy. The demand for renewable power generation has increased due to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves in recent years.
Global attention is being paid to issues such as climate change and environmental protection. These issues are attracting attention at the global level. The generation of power from the sun's and wind's energy is also gaining popularity. Solar panels are both cost-effective and efficient, which has led to increased demand for them and the subsequent installation of solar panels in residential and commercial settings.
It is crucial to switch from non-renewable fossil energy to renewable sources in order to make economic, social and environmental improvements. Furthermore, investments in renewable and clean resource sectors can generate new jobs as well as commercial opportunities. According to the Clean Jobs America 2019 Report renewable energy employment is expected to create 6% more job opportunities in the U.S.
Hydropower was the most popular product segment in 2019. It is expected that it will reach 7,682.3 TWh by 2030. Because of the inaccessibility of the main power supply network, individual power plants are expected to increase in remote areas with hilly terrain. These hydropower projects can supply the power requirements in remote areas without expanding the existing power grid. In the future, there will be a greater emphasis on environmental protection, which will increase the importance of electricity generated from decentralized renewable power sources, such as hydropower.
Over the last few years, wind energy's cost has been steadily falling. This is due to the growing demand for renewable and clean energy from developing countries. The main source of electricity generation in many countries, such as Denmark, Finland and Norway, is. HTML3_ Biomass power HTML3_ HTML3_ has been a key resource in Europe and Asia Pacific. Growing consumer awareness regarding the environmental impact of petrochemical-derived fuels has driven the investments in developing alternative energy sources. In Asia Pacific, bioenergy technology investments have seen significant growth in the last few years. Recent changes to carbon emission targets can be attributed for the rapid growth of the bioenergy sector in renewable energy generation.
Geothermal and marine power are other renewable power sources. The evolution of renewable energy has seen sea energy emerge as a viable alternative. This may help to promote efficient products and technologies, and to develop existing renewable resources to produce clean energy. Ocean energy is a very small part of renewable energy and only operates in select regions, particularly in North America and Europe.
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share in 2019, and will continue to grow at a CAGR 8.6% between 2020-2027. The rising population, particularly in India and China, is a support to the rise in power consumption. The demand for energy, including electricity, transport, and cooking fuel, is increasing due to the rising population. Due to favorable government policies, such as tax benefits and higher investments through FDI, the majority of chemical manufacturing companies have moved their manufacturing plants to China and India. These initiatives are expected to boost the regional market in renewable power generation.
Many countries, including Canada, the U.S., China and Germany, have already established supporting regulations and offered financial incentives to encourage the deployment of renewable energies. Countries around the globe use financial incentives, such as tax benefits, subsidies and feed-in tariffs, to attract investment into the renewable power generation market. In 2015, India pledged 175 GW to have renewable power generation sources installed in its power sector by 2022.
According to the National Renewable Energy Action Plans, the combined capacity target for the European countries in which ocean energy technologies have been developed is expected to rise to 2253 MW by 2020. Portugal and the U.K. are two examples of European countries that have implemented economic policy instruments to encourage deployment of prototype devices. These instruments include the awarding of prizes or market incentives. The IEA Energy R&D statistics show that the U.K. (13.4%), Ireland (12.4%), and Sweden (12.1%) have the highest ocean energy RD&D spends in Europe.
