Renewable CHP Drivers
Renewable Futures 2007- New Drivers for Growth
How much will society pay for a 20% share of renewable energies? It is important to note, that the main factor influencing the cost of a renewable portfolio is oil price. Under a scenario with oil prices at $78/barrel by 2020, …switch from fossil fuels to renewable energies32, carbon prices of €25 per tonne combined with high oil prices (78$) would almost entirely cover the additional cost associated with reaching the proposed share of renewable energy.

Summary • Many Drivers to stimulate CHP and Trigeneration • Potentially technologies at ALL scales • Resources hierarchy and technology should be carefully matched • Some difficulties to overcome • Plenty of opportunities for the brave! • More ‘+’s than ‘-’s
