Current adoption (defined as the amount of functional demand supplied in 2018) estimated from installed capacity is 0.008 percent (2.2 terawatt-hours) of global electricity generation. The total addressable market is different for the two adoption scenarios because Scenario 2 projects extensive electrification of transportation, space heating, etc., dramatically increasing demand and therefore production of electricity worldwide.
We based the total addressable market for micro wind turbines on projected global electricity generation from 2020 to 2050. This solution replaces conventional electricity-generating technologies such as coal, oil, and natural gas power plants. Project Drawdown’s Micro Wind Turbines solution involves deploying electricity-generating onshore wind turbines with capacity of 100 kilowatts or less. increasing electrification of emerging economy countries offers inroads for further expansion. The micro wind turbine market has been concentrated mostly in the US, China, the UK, and Germany. However, they can be integrated into urban infrastructure, such as building-mounted micro turbines.
They are more expensive than large turbines, especially if connected to the grid. In urban areas, micro wind turbines offer an opportunity to become less dependent on the electrical grid. The key factor for growing that number is cost. Experts estimate that a million or more micro wind turbines are currently in use around the world. They give people a way to light their homes or cook their meals while avoiding emissions from dirty diesel generators or kerosene lamps. Micro wind turbines are often used to pump water, charge batteries, and provide electrification in rural locations.
