The utilisation of renewable energies is not at all new; in the
history of mankind renewable energies have for a long time been the
primary possibility of generating energy. This only changed with
industrial revolution when lignite and hard coal became
increasingly more important. Later on, also crude oil gained
importance. Offering the advantages of easy transportation and
processing also as a raw material, crude oil has become one of the
prime energy carriers applied today. Moreover, natural gas used for
space heating and power provision as well as a transportation fuel
has become increasingly important, as it is abundantly available
and only requires low investments in terms of energy conversion
facilities. As fossil energy carriers were increasingly used for
energy generation, at least by the industrialised countries, the
application of renewable energies decreased in absolute and
relative terms; besides a few exceptions, renewable energies are of
secondary importance with regard to overall energy generation.
