This publication describes three scenarios for the future and their implications for renewable energy use and stabilization of atmospheric CO(sub 2) . Themes discussed in this connection comprise major phases of global energy supply, current deployment of renewals, future energy supply scenarios, renewals and carbon dioxide in 2050, renewable energy supply targets, solar electricity market drivers, solar penetration of grid electricity markets, rooftop PV (Photovoltaics) economics, other grid markets, solar farms for wholesale electricity and fuel in future, and PV capacity and investment requirements. 1 fig., 5 tabs.
