Impact of the Economic Downturn on the Renewables Sector

Energy Business Reports (http://www.energybusinessreports.com), a leading publisher in the energy industry, provides a detailed guide on the impact of the economic downturn on the renewables market. The report, “Impact of the Economic Downturn on the Renewables Sector,” offers an in-depth analysis of the renewables sector from an investment perspective and includes recommendations for maximizing the opportunities and managing the risks involved in the investment appraisal of green projects.

The outlook of the renewables sector seems uncertain. While there are political, economic and social factors driving the shift to renewables, utilities are faced with the challenge of mitigating costs and making the correct environmental choices in an increasingly bad economy. The report highlights the factors that impact the supply and demand-side aspects of investment appraisal, the availability of credit and the attractiveness of the renewables sector as a growth market.

“Our report, ‘Impact of the Economic Downturn on the Renewables Sector,’ provides a comprehensive understanding of the renewables sector within the context of the current economic and legislative environment,” says Barbara Drazga, Publisher at Energy Business Reports. “It includes key insights on how utilities can benefit from the existing opportunities in the sector and position themselves effectively for the future.”

The report is designed to provide a better understanding of the issues facing the renewables industry in the current economy. Learn more about the report (http://www.energybusinessreports.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=2351&affillink=ENER)

European gas markets continue to experience rapid changes driven both by liberalization and new market entrants. Rising gas demand in Western European markets continues to offer growth opportunities.

View  Details:  Western European Gas Market Outlook 2008

http://EnergyBusinessReports.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=1770&affillink=ner&eb=1

The Western European Gas Market Outlook 2008 is a newly updated management report that examines the role gas plays in each of the major Western European markets and analyses the differences that exist in terms of gas self sufficiency, and future growth of demand.

This report provides new and updated analysis of 19 Western European gas markets, with detailed data on supply and demand balances. Each country profile features supply and demand overviews, an examination of key governmental, legal and political influences on the sector and an analysis of wholesale trading and the pipeline, LNG and storage infrastructure.

Use this report to identify and exploit new profit opportunities created by Western European gas market expansion and anticipate future market risks. Benchmark 19 key Western European gas markets, predict future market trends and understand the key market issues with this new report.

This new report will provide you with

-Profiles of each country’s gas infrastructure including transit and distribution pipelines and their ownership, storage capacities and full colour maps of gas grids.
-An understanding of Western European gas regulation, including local legislation, competitive conditions and market reforms.
-Gas supply data in billion cubic metres as well as production, pipeline imports and exports by country and LNG imports.
-Key gas demand data by consumer type divided into residential, non-residential and power generation in billion cubic metres.
-An overview of wholesale gas trading market in each country focussing on the market owners and operators, the active players, liquidity and future prospects.
-Gas market trends by country detailing gas production and demand by sector.

Some key findings from this report

-Belgium is a key player in the European gas market. It operates as a transit state and is home to Europe’s second most liquid trading hub, an LNG import terminal and the UK / Continental Europe Interconnector.
-Denmark has had a fully open gas market since the beginning of 2004, three and a half years ahead of EU requirements.
-Competition in France has been hampered by a lack of interconnections with other countries. LNG projects undertaken and the opening of Euskadour link have gone some way to ease this problem.
-Gas now accounts for about 39% of primary energy demand in Italy. It has increased considerably in recent years, with consumption levels in excess of most other European countries.
-Although Norway is a major gas producer it has surprisingly low consumption levels (less than 9%). The vast majority of gas production is exported with Norway currently the source of around 16% of EU consumption

Key questions answered by this report
-How has gas production and consumption changed over time?
-Where does each country source its imported gas from?
-How has liberalization affected national gas markets?
-What are the key developments in pipeline infrastructure?

Coal-fired generating capacity may double by 2030, which would have a severe effect on carbon dioxide emissions unless new, cleaner technologies can be implemented.
