Abstract
The report summarises the foreseen development of different new technologies for producing energy, their application potential in Finland and the global market potentials within a few decades` time perspective. Each of the new energy technology areas is reviewed. The conclusion is that no major new breakthroughs are in sight at the moment but a technological development process is taking place gradually on several fronts simultaneously. It is estimated that, in quantitative terms, the most significant technological development process within the next two decades will be the commercialization of new efficient and environmentally benign combustion processes for power production. In the longer term more novel technologies like photovoltaics may became significant in large scale energy generation, too. It is estimated that the maximum potential of these new energy production technologies in Finland is 7 % of the total energy supply in year 2010, 18 % in 2025 and 35 % in 2050. The report includes an estimate for global market potentials for each of these new energy technologies. The results indicate that the order of magnitude of these markets in the near term is generally some billions US dollars and may gradually grow into tens of billions but probably will not
