Abstract
The EIA forecasts that robust economic growth and improved standards of living
will underpin a massive surge in power consumption in Asia. China and India
account for the world' s largest projected increases in national electric power
demand over 2004-2030. Most of this is likely to be fossil fuel based
resulting in a surge in GHG emissions. In parallel, growing global concern
about climate change will lead to international pressure on high polluting
countries like India and China to curb their emissions. Cap and trade systems,
once adopted by the US and Australia, will make the case of renewables more
attractive in Asia. ' Green Energy in Asia: Renewable investment, capacity
growth and future outlook' is a new management report published by Business
Insights that analyses the current trends driving the use of renewable energy
in Asia. This report compares the progress of each renewable energy technology
in Asia with the rest of the world, identifies the key players and analyzes
the potential and outlook for each technology. Assess the future prospects and
investment potential for renewable technologies in Asia with this new report.
