Share of renewable energy sources in total energy use

What are we talking about?

The supply side of sustainable energy and energy saving, from a value chain perspective.



Definitions

• The exploitation phase: The actual production of renewable energy

• The pre-exploitation phase: The companies that are active in the value chain that precedes the production of renewable energyE.g.:

o Production of solar panelso R&D aimed on sustainable energy technologieso Transport of wind turbineso Trade in solid biomass

• Includes energy saving

Scope

• Product profiles: technologies‘solar PV’, ‘solar CSP’, ‘solar thermal energy’, ‘biogas’, ‘biomass (solid) & waste’, ‘biofuels’, ‘bio-refining’, ‘wind on land’, ‘wind at sea’, ‘heat & geothermal energy’, ‘energy from water’, ‘energy saving’, ‘electric transport’, ‘smart grids’, ‘hydrogen technology’ and ‘CO2 capture and storage’

• Process profiles: value chains‘R&D’, ‘consultancy’, ‘transport’, ‘preparation/raw material production’, ‘supply, assembly and construction’, ‘production of energy carriers’, ‘installation and maintenance’.



Indicators

• Employment (fte)• Monetary indicators (in current prices)

• Gross value added = Production minus intermediate use

• Production• Export and import• Investment

• Innovation• Patent requests


Methodology exploitation phase

• Uses available sources• Hernieuwbare energie in Nederland (CBS, 2012)

• Physical energy production for each available source/technology

• Price information from national accounts• Employment based on operational costs (source: ECN)


Methodology pre-exploitation phasemicro approach• Population of companies that are active in sustainable

energy• Sources ECN, Ecorys, RVO, PolderPV, Statistics

Netherlands• Connect companies to company level economic data • For each company (gu)estimate its company profile

(process, technology) and specialisation factor.• Distinguish between specialised and non-specialised

companies• No additional adminstrative burden for companies

Spotlight: Rebase of micro population

• Additional companies• Company profiles and specialisation factor

re-evaluated• Re-create time-series• Number of companies in 2009 went from

±700 to ±1000

Conclusions

• Employment +13% to 19.100 fte in 2011• Share of employment from 0,25% to 0,28%• More employment in the pre-exploitation phase• Employment in Solar and Wind increased• Employment in energy saving stable• Share in GDP increased from 0.38% to 0.4%• From net importer to net exporter• Relative large amount of patent request


Recommendations for further research

• Step forward, but further development is needed• Exports of services better imaging (offshore wind)• Intensifying cooperation between institutes

-Electric transport (RVO) -Offshore wind (RVO)

• Strengthening European/international harmonization (Eurostat)

• Share knowledge and coordinate with neighboring countries (e.g. UK, Germany, NGO’s)

• Integrate wishes Topsector Energy and Energy Agreement

Plans for 2014

• Provide updates on the Radar (2008-2012) • Strengthening European harmonization (Eurostat)• Participation project ‘new handbook on EGSS’• Improve products:

-integrate insulation installation activities-improve methodology/model for solar thermal and zonPV.-fine tune ‘offshore wind’ and ‘electric driving’(RVO)

• develop fast module for employment (t-1)
