The 2011 Import and Export Market for Iron or Steel Air Heaters and Hot Air Distributors and Parts Thereof in Germany

The 2011 Import and Export Market for Iron or Steel Air Heaters and Hot Air Distributors and Parts Thereof in Germany Review



On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on iron or steel air heaters and hot air distributors and parts thereof in Germany face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying iron or steel air heaters and hot air distributors and parts thereof to Germany? How important is Germany compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of iron or steel air heaters and hot air distributors and parts thereof vary from one country of origin to another in Germany? On the supply side, Germany also exports iron or steel air heaters and hot air distributors and parts thereof. Which countries receive the most exports from Germany? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for iron or steel air heaters and hot air distributors and parts thereof in Germany. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for iron or steel air heaters and hot air distributors and parts thereof for those countries serving Germany via exports, or supplying from Germany via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Germany fits into the world market for imported and exported iron or steel air heaters and hot air distributors and parts thereof. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Germany in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Germany is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Germany compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.

Solar America Initiative and the Million Solar Roofs Program - Practical Information on Heating, Lighting, Concentrating, Grants and Funding, Photovoltaics, Electricity (CD-ROM)

Solar America Initiative and the Million Solar Roofs Program - Practical Information on Heating, Lighting, Concentrating, Grants and Funding, Photovoltaics, Electricity (CD-ROM) Review



This up-to-date and comprehensive electronic book on CD-ROM presents a collection of important documents and publications about the Solar America Initiative (SAI) of the U.S. Department of Energy. The SAI is an effort to make solar energy cost-competitive with conventional forms of electricity by 2015. The Solar America Initiative is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) effort to make solar energy cost-competitive with conventional forms of electricity by 2015. The strategy pursues complementary activities in research and development (R&D) and in market transformation. The goals are to reduce costs through R&D and to eliminate market barriers through deployment. To achieve its goals, the Solar America Initiative partners with: Industry, Universities, State governments, Federal agencies, other non-governmental agencies. Benefits to the nation of the Solar America Initiative include: Boosting the economy by creating a U.S.-based solar industry; Increasing energy security by diversifying the nation's electricity portfolio; Decreasing the effect of power outages on cities; Reducing the impact on the environment of power generation from fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and natural gas. By 2015, photovoltaics will provide 5 to 10 gigawatts of new electric capacity (enough to power 1 to 2 million homes) to the U.S. grid, and avoid 10 million metric tons per year of carbon dioxide emissions. There is extensive coverage of solar energy, solar heating and lighting, solar concentrating technology, and photovoltaic (PV) solar power cells. Encyclopedic coverage of every practical aspect of solar power, heating, electricity, and research is thoroughly covered in this incredible collection! Million Solar Roofs Initiative (MSR) - the goal of the MSR was to transform markets for distributed solar technologies by facilitating the installation of solar systems. This necessitated a diffuse, essentially grassroots, program approach. In contrast, SAI's goal of achieving cost parity with conventional electricity generation by 2015 demands a distinctly different programmatic approach and an accelerated pace of marketplace acceptance. Nevertheless, lessons learned in MSR have relevance to SAI. Moreover, an important part of MSR's legacy is the 971 partners nationwide that constitute advocates who are schooled in the technologies and knowledgeable about their local and regional markets. This marketplace expertise will be useful in SAI. Between 1997 and 2005, 94 coalitions across the country signed on with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as official MSR partnerships. These partnerships comprised 971 private sector firms, electric utilities, builder-developers, nonprofit organizations, and governmental entities-all voluntarily committed to facilitate the installation of a specified number of "solar roofs." Viable solar energy technology topics covered include: Solar Cells * photovoltaic (PV) power * flat-plate PV * concentrating PV * off-grid * on-grid * conversion efficiencies * solar thermal electric * solar industry * DOE research goals and targets * thermal dishes * towers * troughs * central generation * passive solar * solar water heating * solar heating and lighting * nanotechnology solar cells * organic solar cells * abbreviations and acronyms. Concentrating Solar Power: CSP systems use reflective materials that concentrate the sun's heat energy to drive a generator that produces electricity. Photovoltaics: PV systems use semiconductor materials that convert sunlight directly to electricity. Solar Heating: Solar collectors absorb the sun's energy to provide low-temperature heat used directly for hot water or space heating for residential or commercial buildings. Solar Lighting: Parabolic collectors focus sunlight into a fiber optic system to illuminate building interiors with sunlight.
