Sentences with phrase «electricity generation technology based»

Not exact matches

Using lifecycle analysis, a study conducted by Environment Canada and Natural Resources Canada found that while all forms of electricity generation have environmental impacts, solar PV technologies have fewer negative environmental impacts than traditional fossil - fuel - based electricity production.

Nuclear is still a factor of 600 safer than the main alternative, coal, and still much safer than all other electricity generation technologies (on a fully life cycle basis).

However, you don't want to argue for a rational solution — i.e. cheap nuclear power (which also happens to be 10 to 100 times safer than our currently accepted main source of electricity generation, fossil fuel) and also happens to be a near zero emission technology (in fact much lower than renewables given they need fossil fuel backup, and given solar needs about 10 times as much material per TWh on an LCA basis).

«[Howarth et al.'s] analysis is seriously flawed in that they significantly overestimate the fugitive emissions associated with unconventional gas extraction, undervalue the contribution of «green technologies» to reducing those emissions to a level approaching that of conventional gas, base their comparison between gas and coal on heat rather than electricity generation (almost the sole use of coal), and assume a time interval over which to compute the relative climate impact of gas compared to coal that does not capture the contrast between the long residence time of CO2 and the short residence time of methane in the atmosphere.»

The proposed project activity will support development of renewable energy generation plants based on Solar PV technology in India and delivering electricity to the grid.

The first projects using floating wind turbines are also now entering into operation, based on concepts widely deployed in the offshore oil and gas sector; cost - competitive floating technologies would widen the economic resource base for offshore electricity generation considerably.

Policy support, technology advances and a maturing supply chain are making offshore wind an increasingly viable option for renewables - based electricity generation, harnessing the more consistent and higher wind speeds available offshore.

The total addressable market for electricity generation technologies using perennial crops as feedstock is based on estimated global electricity generation in terawatt - hours from 2020 - 2050.

Suggest all figures are based on 4 B and the type of electricity generation technology should not be specified.

According to the study, «renewable electricity generation from technologies that are commercially available today, in combination with a more flexible electric system, is more than adequate to supply 80 % of total U.S. electricity generation in 2050 while meeting electricity demand on an hourly basis in every region of the country.»

Many decades may pass before a transition from coal - based electricity to alternative generation technologies yields substantial temperature benefits.

-- The assessment shall contain an evaluation and analysis of electricity generation facilities that are constructed in accordance with different plant designs (including different cooling technologies such as water, air, and hybrid systems, and technologies designed to minimize carbon dioxide releases) based on the fuel used by the facility, including --

''... Overall, all PV technologies generate far less life - cycle air emissions per GWh than conventional fossil - fuel - based electricity generation technologies.

Indeed, a study by Perry's own National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that today's renewable energy technologies are «more than adequate to supply 80 % of total U.S. electricity generation in 2050 while meeting electricity demand on an hourly basis in every region of the country,» provided that the grid itself adopts technologies to increase flexibility.

In January DECC submitted an appeal in which they noted that «the High Court's decision was based on the view that the proposed approach to implementing new tariffs for solar PV is inconsistent with the FIT scheme's statutory purpose of encouraging small - scale low - carbon electricity generation» But DECC said «The overriding aim of the proposed reduction in tariffs for solar PV (as set out in the recent consultation) is to ensure that over the long term as many people as possible are encouraged to install small scale low - carbon generation (including other technologies as well as solar PV) and benefit from the funding available for the FIT scheme.
