Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Renewable Energy Global Industry Almanac 2016" report to their offering.

The global renewable energy market had total revenues of $602.2bn in 2015, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9% between 2011 and 2015.

The renewable energy market consists of the net generation of electricity through renewable sources. It is divided into five segments, these being hydroelectricity; wind energy; solar, tide and wave energy; electricity generated through biomass and waste; and geothermal energy.

The volume of the market is calculated as the net volume of electricity produced through renewable means in terawatt hours (TWh), and the market value has been calculated according to an average of annual domestic and industrial retail prices per kWH, inclusive of applicable taxes.

Any currency conversions used in the creation of this report have been calculated using constant 2015 annual average exchange rates. Please note that 1 terawatt hour is identical to 1,000 gigawatt hours (GWh).

Market production volume increased with a CAGR of 5.8% between 2011 and 2015, to reach a total of 4,991.5 TWh in 2015.

Many major economies have targets for the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, in order to combat climate change. Increasing the proportion of renewable energy in the power generation mix is one way of achieving these targets.
