The IEA Renewables Information 2004 is the third
edition of a new publication that is produced annually
to provide reliable statistics on renewable energy.
It follows the inaugural publication in winter
2002. It is a comprehensive volume of basic statistics
compiled by the IEA on electricity and heat production,
supply and final consumption, and installed
capacity of renewables and waste sources.
The third edition of Renewables Information contains,
in addition to OECD data, selected statistical
information on non-OECD countries. It also includes
the executive summary taken from Biofuels
for Transport: An International Perspective, a report
published recently by the IEA. Another addition for
OECD countries is the inclusion of estimates for
2003 that are the latest Renewables data available
