• Wind energy avoids CO2-emissions
– Wind produces CO2-free electricity, otherwise produced with gas, coal and oil power plants, which emit CO2
– Scenarios enable projections towards 2020
• Industrialised countries have emissions reduction targets – Kyoto Protocol – up until 2012– 2020 targets (EU, Norway)
How much of these reduction targets can wind achieve ?
More wind – less CO ₂
Source: DG TREN: Trends to 2030
• Gas, coal and oil plants produce on av. 666 gCO2/kWh
• Wind production avoids2008: 137 TWh 91 Mt CO2
2012: 234 TWh 146 Mt CO2
2020: 582 TWh 333 Mt CO2
• Kyoto Protocol EU target 2008-2012 = 7.8% 450 MtCO2e per year below 1990 emissions
• EU Climate package target by 2020 = 20% 1160 MtCO2e in 2020 below 1990 emissions

• Wind power will significantly reduce emissions, both in industrialised and developing countries.
• Wind power will provide for a significant portion of the emissions reductions as pledged for a Copenhagen agreement, with existing legislation.
Industrialised countries must review and raise their pledges for reduction targets
More advanced developing countries should consider appropriate reductions from BAU

Thank you very much for your attention

How a turbine comes together
Cost structure – EU Typical 2MW turbine
Cost of generated power 1– Wind versus conventional
Assumes CO2 costs: 25$/tCO2 Oil price : IEA2007 - 59$/barrel in 2010
Cost of generated power 2 – Wind versus conventional Assuming increased oil and CO2 prices
Assumes CO2 costs: 35$/tCO2 Oil price doubled to 118$/barrelCoal price up 50%
Cost of generated power 3 –IEA forecast for the EU, in 2015 and 2030
Includes CO2 costs: 30$/MWh for coal and 15$/MWh for gas
How many jobs to expect from Wind ?
• Jobs in the EU in Wind in 2008– Direct jobs: 108 000– Direct + Indirect jobs: 154 000
• Predicted jobs in the EU in Wind in 2020– Direct jobs: 190 000– Direct + Indirect jobs: 328 000
