Renewable energy is about 13% of the world s energy while fossil fuels make up 80% and nuclear power 7%. Wind power has become a major part of power generation in Europe, with 20 to 40% of power loads in parts of Germany, Denmark, and Spain. 

The centralised scenario corresponding to the outline in Fig. 5.79A is based on primary energy production from a mix of renewable energy sources available in Denmark. As seen from the overview scenario energy flows in Fig. 5.83, the...

H2PIA is a stunning architectural plan of what could be achieved using fuel cells and renewable energy. At the time of this writing, the project, based in Denmark, one of the world s most innovative and forward-looking countries in terms of fuel cell application and development, is yet to be started beyond the feasibility study. The intention is to start construction at some point in 2007. 

The European Union supplies tax breaks and investment plans for renewable sources such as wind power. There are plans to install 40,000 megawatts by 2010. Denmark receives 10% of its power from wind energy with an installed capacity of 1,700-MW. Germany is not far behind and is the wind sector s fastest growing market.
