Research summary
Renewable energy and regional industry Being responsible for the subject of "International Industry" at the Faculty of Business Administration, Ritsumeikan University, my research is focusing on the energy industry, in particular on renewable energies. Presently, the renewable energy industry is growing rapidly on a global scale, leading to fundamental changes in the global energy industry. Some even refer to this development as the "4th Revolution", following the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution and the information revolution. According to the recently published Renewable Enery Whitebook by the reknown Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century (REN21 / http://www.ren21.net/), investment in renewable energy technology has grown by 17% in 2011 to US$257 Bil., a 6th-fold increase since 2004. It is projected that investment will grow to a level of US$300 ~ 1000Bil. by 2020. In addition, about half of the newly installed capacity for electricity generation (208GW) in 2011 can be accounted to renewable energy technologies (incl. water power), accounting for almost 25% of the globally installed capacity. Within this context it deserves specific attention that the formally highly concentrated, large-scale energy industry is structurally shifting towards a decentralized system of smaller and medium-sized players. The driving force behind this global trend are very often regional businesses, municipalities and citizen initiatives. My research concerns itself with the structural forces and factors of success in the renewable energy industry that lead to the creation of economic value added and employment in regional economies.
