The US Energy Information Agency estimates that 11% of the world’s total energy comes from renewable sources, a number they project will grow modestly to 15% by 2040. They also estimate that 21% of the world’s electricity came from renewable en-ergy in 2011, and they expect that to grow to 25% by 2040. These are the projections that need to be altered if global warming is to be placed under some degree of control.
This thesis reviews existing literature and gathers data in order to provide projec-tions of the renewable’ share under different scenario by 2050. The analysis takes into consideration existing technologies and the projection of their development and also international policies to battle climate change.
