Global Renewable Energy Expansion

Image
In October 2019, a report from the International Energy Agency forecast that renewable energy use would expand by at least 50% over the following five years, buoyed by a resurgence in solar energy driven by more cost-effective technology. At the time of the IEA report , the solar sector was rolling new projects out at a faster rate than at any point in the previous four years. The same was also true for both the hydropower and wind power sectors. The IEA is now predicting an increase in the world’s solar capacity of 600GW by 2024, which is nearly double Japan’s installed total electricity capacity. Marcel Kooter is a strong advocate for energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables and works with companies in the energy industry to help them define strategies that will decarbonise their operations cost-effectively. Increased output and reduced costs for solar, wind and hydropower will likely play a key role in future strategies. Introducing theUK’s Green Recovery Challenge Fun

Wind Power: Future Forecasts, Trends and Developments

Image
Wind power is currently one of the most promising sources of renewable energy when looking towards a sustainable future. The wind power industry has grown exponentially over the last decade, with multiple wind farms being developed around the world to harness the natural power of moving currents of air. In some regions, wind power has already surpassed fossil fuels in terms of delivering affordable energy, and new technologies will only drive operating costs further downwards. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) recently released a new report titled ‘ Future of Wind ’ in which it outlines a series of options that could be deployed to accelerate transition to wind power by 2050 in line with Paris Agreement targets.  As a senior business leader in the global energy sector, Marcel Kooter has a long-standing passion for research into renewables and methods of generating energy from sustainable sources without compromising on meeting global energy needs.
