…3,000 GW by 2050. The largest gains are seen for solar (13x increase to 1,500 GW), wind (3x increase to 500 GW), nuclear (60% increase to 160GW) and natural gas…
…(unlike solar declines and wind declines), Conversely, the average annual output of typical US gas generation facilities is intentionally flexed by +/- 30% each year (inter-quartile range) depending on the…
…absorb CO2 from the atmosphere (pages 5-6). The third rationale for vertical greenhouses is that their LED lighting demands are flexible, which means they can absorb excess wind and solar,…
…requires global wind and solar additions to treble from 160GW per year towards 500GW per year by mid-decade, so that renewables can reach 40-50% ultimate shares of power grids. The…
…invested in wind and solar, in order to add the same amount of primary energy to the global energy system (chart below, note here). Economies of scale are visible in…
…demand doubles exactly when wind, solar, gas, transmission losses and disruptions all deteriorate. This 15-page note assesses the causes, implications and mitigation opportunities. $499.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart In David…
…GDP is up c50% in the West and up 5.5x in China. The greatest leakage has likely occurred for cars, electronics and machinery. Although other sectors such as solar panels…
…of CO2. A new wind or solar project might require 100 tons of aluminium, costing $260k, emitting 1,000 tons of CO2. But numbers vary… Power capacity and loss rates vary…
