CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
Paris agreement
Mitigation: reducing emissions
Governments agreed
•a long-term goal of keeping the increase in global average
temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels;
•to aim to limit the increase to 1.5°C, since this would significantly
reduce risks and the impacts of climate change;
•on the need for global emissions to peak as soon as possible,
recognising that this will take longer for developing countries;
•to undertake rapid reductions thereafter in accordance with the
best available science.

Background and three important concepts to understand/remember:
1. Renewable definition
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy
The length of time a renewable system must operate before it recovers the
energy invested throughout its life time is ascertained by EPBT.
EROI tells about how much energy is obtained from a system of an energy
source compared to how much of that energy is required to create and
implement the system
Biomass
Hydro power
Fossil fuel
Wave energy
Question:
• According to your opinion what is/are the criteria
to be adopted for selecting a renewable energy
respect to competitive RES or fossil fuels?

Renewable Energy in TFEC by Sector
Global Renewable Power Capacity
Renewable Power Capacities in the World
➜ Traditional biomass in
TFEC declining:
9.2% in 2005 to estimated
7.8% in 2016
➜ Modern bioenergy
contributed 5% to final
energy consumption
Bio-heat
➜ 98 GW of solar PV capacity
added in 2017
➜ China added
53.1 GW in 2017, more
than was added
worldwide in 2015,
increasing its total solar
PV capacity to 131.1 GW
➜ China reached its 2020
target for solar
installations in 2017
➜ The United States
remained a distant
second, adding 10.6 GW
for a total of 51 GW
