 The Small Hydropower Market 2011-2021The Small Hydropower Market 2011-2021 report analyses one of the key renewable energy markets over the next ten years. In-depth analyses and forecasts for both the market size and small hydropower capacity are given for the seven regional markets from 2011-2021.The report also examines the main drivers and restraints influencing the small hydropower market; examines individual national developments within each regional market, and provides a unique SWOT analysis for small hydropower technology. |
 The Biofuels Market 2011-2021Biofuels is a thriving global industry which offers huge potentials for investment. During 2010-2011, the biofuels market gained increased interest as the price of oil increased rapidly. Many developed countries, such as the US and countries in the European Union, reconsidered their energy policy and significantly decreased their imports of oil. On the other side, policy makers were promoting production and consumption of biofuels, through a series of tax credits and incentives. Even though the production of biofuels is still mainly concentrated in US, Europe and South America, 2010-2011 was marked by the more diversified picture with regions such as Asia, Africa and the Middle East increasing their biofuels production. Visiongain calculates that the global expenditure on biofuels in 2011 will total $46.63bn. |
 The Hydropower Market 2011-2021The world is currently facing two potentially contradictory developments: that of increasing global energy supply to meet a growing demand for energy; and that of tackling global warming by lowering emissions of carbon dioxide. This situation creates an opportunity for hydropower, which is a low-carbon energy source, capable of supplying substantial quantities of power throughout the world. Visiongain calculates the global hydropower market, defined as spending on new hydropower projects plus spending on upgrades and expansions, to be worth $56.51bn in 2011. |
 The Solar Power Photovoltaic (PV) Market 2011-2021Global demand for energy is rising at a rapid pace as population growth and economic prosperity is enabling developing and emerging markets to buy increasing amounts of energy consuming products. The nuclear catastrophe in Japan has shifted the focus of economies around the globe and raised demand for alternatively sourced electricity. Meanwhile, risks of oil supply disruptions from Middle East and North African countries are at an all time high; hence the price of crude oil and related products are expected to remain high over the next few years |
