Promotion, research and development of renewable energy technologies at liberalised market conditions
The goal of this project is to discuss subsidy schemes for research and development (R and D) and other support of renewable energy technologies.
Objectives: The goal of this project is to bring out estimates of subsidy schemes for promotion, research and development (R and D) of renewable energy technologies at liberalised market conditions. The project shall result in: 1) better understanding of the methodology for subsidy schemes at liberalised market conditions. 2) better understanding of the dynamic structure in the development of renewable energy technologies and the connection to public subsidy schemes. 3 estimation of indicative volumes of necessary subsidy schemes. Work in the project will include: An important output of the project is a formation of expertise within the area. The project includes a critical, technical / methodical survey of recent technological and economical diffusion theories, e.g. experience curves. In addition, the project looks at different national innovative systems for renewable energy technologies. Both theoretical and empirical analyses within the project are made. The analyses are based on the existing and planned market structures, including green certificate markets for electricity production based on renewable energy
Support, research and development of renewable energy technologies at liberalised market conditions. Objectives: The goal of this project is to discuss subsidy schemes for research and development (R and D) and other support of renewable energy technologies. The project deals with the development of renewable energy technologies -by theoretical as well as empirical analysis. In the project report (to be published as a book) the Danish experience of promoting renewable technologies for electricity generation is discussed. The analysis is supported by the use of experience curves and innovation theory. An analytical phase model is constructed, that can help understanding the development of a new technology. This model is applied to the analysis of the support schemes for renewable electricity technologies in Denmark. The book provides a good introduction to experience curves, innovation theory and the historical development of renewable energy in Denmark. In addition, it combines topics from innovation theory in a new way and set up a phase model that can be used in formulating policy recommendations for promoting renewable energy technologies. The book will be relevant at different university studies
