EurObserv'ER has just released its 10th edition of the "State of Renewable Energies in Europe" with consolidated data from the year 2009. The report is available HERE.
In its press release, EurObserv'ER notes that:
- It estimates th renewbale energy share of gross final energy consumption in 2009 to be 11.6% compared to 10.4% in 2008.
- "This increase of 1.2 percentage points results in a renewable energy consumption contribution of 131.7 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in 2009 (up to 6.3 Mtoe) of a total of 1136.4 Mtoe in real terms. One important element of this result is that over half the growth in the share observed in 2009, despite impressive growth in some renewable sectors such as PV, cannot be attributed to the rise in renewably-sourced final energy consumption alone but instead steams from the plunge in total gross final energy consumption based on the drop in gross inland energy consumption."
- "EurObserv'ER estimates that for the year 2009 the renewable energy share in total primary energy consumption has gained 1 percentage point with respect to 2008 (from 8.4% to 9.4% in 2009) and the renewable energy share in total electricity consumption has increased almost 2 percentage points (from 16.4% in 2008 to 18.2% in 2009)."
