BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Taking stock of the last decade we learn that topics like renewable energy, sustainability and climate protection became essential issues for human kind. This is true not only due to disasters showing us our limitations when confronted with the power of nature (like the BP disaster nearby the US coast, nuclear incidents like Fukushima, growing number of tsunamis, climate change, gas or oil crises, etc.) but also due to a noticeable change of mind and a new trend towards sustainability.

The goals and programs of several countries (i.e. the EU 20/20/20-targets, etc.) boost that development and are key to the enormous success within the RES industry with growth rates ranging from 20% to 50%.
