Slide 3 CEM/IRENA Global Atlas for Solar and Wind Energy > Carsten Hoyer-Klick > IRENA End User Workshop Jan. 13th 2012, Abu Dhabi The Value Adding Dilemma of Geo Data
Data gap which needs to be filled
high Cost / Effort low
Information products Applications / Basic geo data Decision Support Analysis Tools
Scientific resource data GIS Applications, Potentials Analysis, Scenarios, Consulting Interfaces to models
low Value high

Slide 4 CEM/IRENA Global Atlas for Solar and Wind Energy > Carsten Hoyer-Klick > IRENA End User Workshop Jan. 13th 2012, Abu Dhabi Way-out from the Value Adding Dilemma
Two possible options:
1. Set up an integrated value adding chain: Earn the money on the rightend side and transfer it to the left. Chicken and egg problem: Where to get the initial money from? Needs integrated chain (best in one hand) to make the transfer
2. Make the left side a public good. Easy and free access eases market entry for small companies which leads to rapid market developent The “egg” comes from the government The developing market creates tax revenues (new “eggs”).
Slide 5 CEM/IRENA Global Atlas for Solar and Wind Energy > Carsten Hoyer-Klick > IRENA End User Workshop Jan. 13th 2012, Abu Dhabi Solar and Wind Atlas as a Public Good
Renewable resources are the fuel for renewable energy projects Renewable sources are highly variable in time and space and initial characterization of the resource availability and variability is required to stimulate well-informed policy design and private sector interest Initial public sector investment into renewable resource maps with broad geographical coverage will stimulate Renewable energy opportunity awareness Investments in ground-based measurements by governments, research organizations and renewable energy developers Renewable energy policy support Future potential benefits from expanding renewable energy markets: Avoided GHG emissions Improved health and welfare from lower emitting energy generation

Slide 8 CEM/IRENA Global Atlas for Solar and Wind Energy > Carsten Hoyer-Klick > IRENA End User Workshop Jan. 13th 2012, Abu Dhabi Building the global Atlas
Develop data which is not yet available Global high resolution solar data set Global high resolution wind data set
Many elements are available as single services REN21 (Interactive map), REEGLE, PVGIS, SolarGIS, NASA (SSE) Surface Solar Energy data Set, World Bank This information needs to be linked and integrated
Collaborative Information Systems

Slide 11 CEM/IRENA Global Atlas for Solar and Wind Energy > Carsten Hoyer-Klick > IRENA End User Workshop Jan. 13th 2012, Abu Dhabi Implementation Design
3 Working Streams (the wording “streams” illustrate the continuous nature of the work)
Stream 1: End-user and stakeholder involvement Specify end user needs for data and web portal; linking to capacity building
Stream 2: Data development and compilation Provision of the various data sets, solar, wind, geographical, policy, socio-economic, technology, statistics
Stream 3: Data provision through web portal and mapping tools Initial user interface version 0, collaborative information systems, tools, improved user interfaces
