New Research and Analysis Reports in the Global Energy Industry
Today, the world produces as much electricity from nuclear energy as it did from all sources combined in 1960. Nuclear energy supplies 16% of the world’s energy needs.
France derives over 75% of its electricity from nuclear energy. It is the world’s largest net exporter of electricity

Photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight into electricity by means of photovoltaic – or solar – cells. Solar energy is extremely clean energy. As it quietly generates electricity from light, PV produces no air pollution or hazardous waste. It requires no liquid or gaseous fuels to be transported or combusted. And, because its energy source, sunlight, is free and abundant, PV systems can offer virtually guaranteed access to electric power.
However, in today’s world this technology faces several large obstacles, most notably the costs relating to power generation and transmission as well as difficulties in obtaining funding for the development of advanced technology. The market potential and the technical, political and economic hurdles facing the solar PV industry are the focus of a new 129-page report from Energy Business Reports, “Solar Photovoltaic Market Potential.”
