  5. Key Content: Market Forecasts

  6. Selected Drivers • Government Incentive • Increased Energy Security • EU White Paper Target Favours Biomass Energy • Free Fuel Resources • Sustainable Agricultural Policy • Increased EU Funding for RES Proposed

  7. Selected Restraints • High Initial Investment Cost • Low Electricity Prices • Threat from Wind Generation • Policy Integration Issues • Developments in Conventional Energy Technologies

  8. Companies and Competitive Issues • Provides Company Info • Who is involved? Where? Which players are interested in entering new markets? • Key Insights Into New Strategy Direction • Who is developing strategies in which markets? Strategic analysis - which markets show most promise?
