Resumé
Benefits of strong, early action considerably
outweight the costs (Sir Nicholas Stern) The
market for clean and efficient energy technology
will have a tremendous growth The cost for
renewable energy will steadily decrease, whereas
the cost for fossile energy will increase The
global market for the utilization of renewable
energy will soon be on the order of several 100
bio/year European-Chinese programmes in the
renewable energy sector will have a strong impact
both on energy efficiency and the reduction of
CO2 emission
