Rethink Energy Research

Rethink Energy is the only service specifically designed to explain and forecast the changing energy landscape and its investment possibilities as renewables begin to take over from conventional fossil fuels

  • Rethink Energy Research Subscription

    Rethink Energy is about rethinking the generation of electricity on a global scale. We focus on the countries which are the largest users of electricity or which have the greatest possibilities in renewable energy, and blend these together into a single Annual Primary Electricity forecast. Its components are each available separately and include projections for solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear, the decline of coal and gas, and the multiple uses of the emerging hydrogen marketplace including making steel and cement.

    We have also modeled any fresh use of electricity such as charging Electric Vehicles, producing Ammonia to fuel shipping, and the transition from gas to electricity in home heating.

    We believe that our model shows the rise of many new markets which will require investment and which will yield extraordinary returns. Many of these are represented in the rise of Gigafactories – manufacturing environments within which 1GW or more of capacity are made each year in batteries, novel energy storage, electrolyzers, fuel cells and heat pumps, as energy ceases to be quite so project oriented, and becomes more commoditized.

    Rethink Energy will also give indicators and clues of the speed at which fossil fuel markets will evaporate.

    Annual Primary Electricity 2.0: An evolution in forecasting energy

    • View Report Details

      This forecast is the main central thrust of our research at Rethink Energy, combining the work we have done on all aspects of renewables. We also produce 9 further forecasts during the year each of which come with a spreadsheet and focus on a single area of renewables. The results of those forecasts are included in this one.

      It is a forecast of power demand and supply through to 2050. It outlines how the granular, sector-by-sector approach to decarbonization across the globe will redefine not only how energy is traded, but who stands to benefit from the adoption of clean technologies as power demand triples over the coming decades.

      The next 3 decades will all witness a massive shift towards electrification of all energy. Rethink anticipates that by 2050, 92% of power will come from net zero sources, up from 41% today.

      This week we spoke to Scott Graybeal, CEO at Caelux, who talks us through his company’s approach to placing semi-transparent perovskite on glass for silicon solar panels, which results in 27.5% of energy being converted into energy, for not very much cost at all. (We must apologize to clients for the quality of the video – due to poor transatlantic broadband connection).

      At the beginning of 2021 analysts were expecting 200+ GW of solar to be installed, but many of them failed to realize that there was a global shortfall in polysilicon. Rethink said that the maximum would be more like 169 GW, and in the final analysis it turned out to be 164.3 GW solar installed worldwide during 2021, with 61.3 GW installed in Q4. IN this research paper Andries Wantenaar details which market grew, and which ones lost momentum.
