Today they amount for about 15% of the total primary energy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edemand, with biomass and hydro-power having with 10% and 5% the biggest shares. All the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eother renewable energy sources, as wind power, solar heat and photovoltaic, play a minor role\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esince they don¿t even cover 1% of the primary energy demand. Renewable energy sources\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecould solve both major problems of the energy sector, since they are carbon neutral and by\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edefinition renewable. The drawbacks are that at the moment most renewable sources are not\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecompetitive and need to be subsidized by governments and the technical challenge of storing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe produced energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is easy to understand that the future of the energy sector is highly uncertain and that tools\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat are extrapolating past trends are of no use under these circumstances. In the last years\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eseveral energy scenarios have been conducted, trying to display the major uncertainties. Not\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esurprisingly the results are strongly varying, leading to question of the characteristics and the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003equality of scenarios. However there has been no analysis of the characteristics and quality of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eenergy scenarios, which is being done in this bachelor thesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a short introduction of the history of scenarios in chapter 2.1, a general framework of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe scenario development process is developed in chapter 2.2 and its possible variations are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elisted in chapter 2.3. The result is a scenario typology consisting of 15 variables that can be\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eused to examine the characteristics and the quality of scenarios. The scenario typology is then\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eapplied at a total of 5 scenarios at chapter 2.4. The sample of scenarios was chosen to display\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe broad range of different scenario developers. It consists of the DESERTEC scenario of a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003echaritable trust, the EU-Roadmap 2050 of a political institution, the Greenpeace [R]evolution\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof an NGO, the World Energy Outlook of an intergovernmental institution and the Shell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnergy scenarios of a company dealing in the energy sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783656325826\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783656325826","offer_id":39446147498077,"sku":"9783656325826","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/4891c0b7-22bb-4425-8052-fb80b45f5230.jpg?v=1777958083","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/characteristics-and-quality-of-energy-scenarios-von-stefan-krammer","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
