Sentences with phrase «efficient power stations»

We must also take action on carbon dioxide emission and that will mean significant adjustments to our economies: more efficient power stations, cars which use less fuel, better - insulated houses and better management of energy in general.

By «supercritical» Hofer means efficient power stations using CO2 squeezed and heated so much that it becomes a supercritical fluid, which behaves like a gas and a liquid at the same time.

Without independent and more efficient power stations, real competition in electricity supply is an illusion.

Not exact matches

Indeed, notwithstanding Ontario's emphasis on green initiatives — fuel - efficient car production, wind power, the closing of coal - fired generating stations — climate change is the great battle of the present and future, one that neither Ontario nor any other jurisdiction is doing enough to fight.

Future generations of our charging stations may support greater power for faster charging, but will ultimately result in smaller more efficient charging stations and better power management.

The most efficient over long distances is high - voltage DC (HVDC), which employs converter stations analogous to the transfer stations that mediate power flow among the nation's Eastern, Western, and Texas grids today.

We also operate the zero emission wind and solar powered Princess Elisabeth Antarctica research station, a live prototype of efficient sustainable energy management.

It is not expensive, you can find great sources on ebay, and even if it was expensive, I'd rather spend whatever is necessary to keep the functionality of my Body Temple highly efficient with the best fuel I can give it, than to spend it on, let's say petrol at the gas station, or the electricity to power the utilities in my house.

Belkin's new Conserve Valet power station presents a simple, energy - efficient way to charge electronic devices.

These include more efficient coal plants and converting coal to gas, which can be burned more cleanly in power stations but actually has a higher lifecycle carbon footprint than directly burning coal.

Along with Chicago's strong commitment to developing solar and wind power, the City is also building three libraries and a police station using LEED standards (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and spending more than $ 100 million to make existing city buildings more energy efficient and providing grants and incentives for others to do the same.

China is taking important steps to close down smaller, inefficient power stations but it is also building large, modern and more efficient (HELE) coal - fired power plants — new regulations effectively ban subcritical (non-HELE) coal technology.

«The DLP will push for the retention of our cheap, clean and efficient coal fired power stations and look to a more transitional model of using coal gasification and other clean coal technologies that would be far less costly to the taxpayer, while producing a secure and solid baseline for our grid.»

By then, we may even have efficient new coal power stations, like the Japanese, Chinese, Koreans and Taiwanese.

Electric cars have long been better than gasoline - powered cars in many ways — they're a few times more efficient; they offer instant torque (excellent initial acceleration that's a lot of fun and very useful); they're much more convenient (plug in when you get home and never have to go to the gas station!)

A new super-efficient diesel, operating at its optimum load, will be about as efficient as an old inefficient power station.

A modern diesel is nearly as efficient as a power station, when run on a motorway, and so the electric vehicle is bound to be less efficient than a diesel on the open road (but not so in town).

This new gas could be used to power our next generation of energy efficient gas fired power stations and to replace most of the gas imports that were expected to provide 80 % of our gas consumption by 2020.

A global switch to energy efficient light emitting diode (LED) technology could save over 1,400 million tons of CO2 and avoid the construction of 1,250 power stations.

Photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, hydroelectric power stations are more efficient and cost effective at a larger scale than a single building.

For the UK to be on track to achieve the emission reductions required by the Climate Change Act, it would have to become as carbon efficient as France by about 2015; which magnitudinous challenge would require the equivalent of the UK constructing and putting into service about 30 new nuclear power stations in the next five years, while retiring an equal amount of coal - fired generation!

Coal burning in power stations is far more efficient than smoky inefficent open hearths and consequently far less particulate carbon gets into the air from each ton of coal burnt.

Converting efficient coal - burning power stations into ludicrously inefficient, wood - burning power stations (requiring the destruction of vast amounts of American woodland) isn't going to do that, either.

Critics of wind energy in Germany said it would be cheaper and more environmentally efficient to insulate old houses or to renew existing power stations.

However, most coal - fired power stations have efficient precipitators and some have sulfur - capture technologies, so the net environmental effect of 10 % biomass substitution (on an energy basis) appears to be negligible.

Indeed, some of Australia's coal plants are still notoriously inefficient: Hazelwood Power Station in Victoria, for instance, has been ranked the least carbon - efficient power plant in the wPower Station in Victoria, for instance, has been ranked the least carbon - efficient power plant in the wpower plant in the world.
