period. The program, begun in 1998, proved so popular, adding 45 MW in 2000, that the government had to place limits on funding for budgetary reasons (Worldwatch Institute 2001). Experience in Europe suggests that a grid can relatively easily accommodate up to 20 percent intermittent renewable energy sources without the need for storage. This is because existing generators provide the extra capacity that is needed to insure reliability in the system. For larger penetration of wind, and solar in particular, development of more advanced energy storage technology may be required. However, many say that that is a long way off. Because the forest industry in Scandinavia is of a similar structure to that of North America, it too produces well over half of its energy needs from forest wastes. Other sources of renewable energy in Europe are electric power fromthe incineration of municipal solid waste and a modest amount of landfill gas recovery. The European effort is linked both to expanding domestic sources of energy and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Interestingly, European governments have not invested heavily in R&D, but instead have utilized a demand-pull policy approach by assuring long-term higher prices for renewable energy. Another lesson from the European experience is that long-term consistency of policies that provide investors with certainty about the rules for renewables is perhaps more important than the details of the policies themselves (Sawin 2001). Renewable Energy Futures in North America North America has the potential to become the global leader in renewable energy technology. Such a shift will create jobs for people in each of the three nations, and produce technology for both the North American regional market and for export. (How energy is produced and used could be transformed into a sustainable process.) US firms produce some of the most advanced solar PV technology in the world, but the industry has fallen to second place behind that of Japan. Forming alliances with Mexico to produce solar panels with lower-cost labor from Mexico could prove advantageous for both nations. The same could be true for the manufacture of labor-intensive solar thermal panels. Another technology in which there could be major cooperation among all three nations is in the development of biomass gasification technology. The creation of integrated gasifier, combined heat and power systems could revolutionize the management of both agricultural and forestry wastes. Also, producing ethanol from cellulose rather than just from corn (maize) or sugar would open huge portions of the agricultural and forestry industry to renewable transport fuels production. Combining this fuels base with the appropriate placement of wind turbines on agricultural lands could provide a major impetus for rural development in all three countries. Improved wind and solar electricity for lighting, motors and water pumping in remote locations can also substantially 9PDF Image | Assessing Barriers and Opportunities for Renewable Energy in North America
