Abstract

This paper presents the current policy context that encourages the use of renewable energy sources given unstable electricity prices in Europe. The evolution of the technologies used to manufacture photovoltaic panels has made their performance increase in recent years and their price affordable. The instability of electricity prices and attractive prices are the main reasons why many domestic electricity consumers are installing photovoltaic panels on the roofs of their houses or on the ground, thus becoming electricity producers. These panels will support the electricity needs of the home and the excess production can be stored in batteries or fed into the grid for neighbours. The paper also presents a scenario that could lead to grid instability in the event of an overproduction of electricity produced by photovoltaic systems feeding electricity into the grid.

Abstract

The article presents an outlook for the global prices of titanium dioxide as of February 2009. The global $10.2 billion titanium dioxide market reached 5.1 million metric tons in 2008, according to SRI Consulting. Demand is expected to grow at 4.1 percent per year, to hit 6.3 million metric tons by 2013. North American and Western European demand is decreasing, due largely to significant decreases in the paper and paint industries, SRIC says.
