Prof. Dr. Olav Hohmeyer The IPCC Special Report on Renewables and Climate Change Folie 2 Structure of the presentation Who or what is the IPCC? Man-made climate change Energy – the heart of the problem Renewable energy sources – the core of the solution The IPCC Special Report on Renewables Conclusions

Prof. Dr. Olav Hohmeyer The IPCC Special Report on Renewables and Climate Change Folie 3 The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) UN organization with about 190 member states Founded 1988 as daughter of WMO and UNEP Objective: Regular reports on the latest state of the art in climate science Four subject areas and three working groups 100 – 200 scientists nominated and selected for each report (representing the best in the field and from all world regions) Multiple scientific and government review of each report Consensus decision by the IPCC plenary on each report Accepted basis for international climate policy

Fossil fuels represent 85% of the problem Total GHG emissions in Mt CO 2 eq. GHG emissions in the FRG in 2000

Prof. Dr. Olav Hohmeyer The IPCC Special Report on Renewables and Climate Change Folie 16 Decarbonising the energy system Four options Nuclear energy Clean fossil fuels (CCS) Energy efficiency Renewable energy sources: –direct solar energy –wind energy –biomass –hydro power –geothermal energy –ocean energy

Prof. Dr. Olav Hohmeyer The IPCC Special Report on Renewables and Climate Change Folie 25 Conclusions Climate change is developing faster than we thought GHG concentrations need to be stabilized at even lower levels (440 ppmvCO 2 ) to avoid serious damages Energy is the heart of the problem Renewable energy sources will be a major part of the solution Renewables can supply far more than the future world energy demand By 2050 they can supply up to 80%
