Sentences with phrase «fueling electricity generation also»

Now, renewable energy's role in fueling electricity generation also is contributing to lower CO2 emissions.

Not exact matches

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).

By displacing electricity from fossil - fuel based generation it also helps to prevent the emission of various air pollutants.

The rise in renewable energy has also dampened the use of fossil fuels; 2017 saw low - carbon sources, including nuclear power, reach 50 percent of electricity generation for the first time.

This is true also for fossil fuels and other electricity generation mechanisms such as nuclear power.

Third, the likely change from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles in the transportation sector also effectively links transportation, and its fuel use, to the electricity generation sector and its fuel use (renewable or fossil fuel based).

The new version of KWES still provides headline data on all fuels, and now also contains additional information highlighting the rapid growth of renewable technologies, for example that in four countries wind generation provided more than 10 % of all electricity, with solar providing more than 5 % in two countries.

The reason for the second question is because cheap electricity will much more quickly displace fossil fuels, not just for electicity generation but also for heat and transport.

The reason for the second question is because cheap electricity will much more quickly displace fossil fuels, not just for electricity generation but also for heat and transport.

They are also primary fuel sources for brown electricity generation, and so brown electricity prices rise and fall with the costs of these raw materials.

Energy efficiency and reducing reliance on coal for electricity generation not only reduces emissions of greenhouse gases, but also reduces emissions of fine particles which cause many premature deaths worldwide as well as reducing other health impacts from the coal fuel cycle.

However, it can also be used as a transportation fuel to displace petrochemicals and, with proper refinement, to displace any current use for natural gas, such as at existing electricity generation facilities.

«The country has vowed to curtail its use of fossil fuels in electricity generation, but it has also put itself on a path...

The students must also address the fact that the energy system is complex in that emissions reductions take time as we renew factories, buildings and vehicles, and that costs differ depending on energy forms (fossil fuels, renewables) and energy uses (electricity generation, transportation, buildings).

Fossil fuel burning also releases hazardous and toxic air pollutants; for example, coal - fired electricity generation accounts for over half of mercury emissions in the United States.

Despite its relatively high cost, natural gas, mainly imported as LNG, also is likely to experience considerable growth as a fuel for electricity generation.

So, in the case of the United States, for example, those policies that will enable the country to achieve its submitted INDC are: the Clean Power Plan (which will accelerate the shift in many states from coal to natural gas for electricity generation, as well as provide incentives in some states for renewable electricity generation); CAFE (motor vehicle fuel efficiency) standards increasing over time (as already enacted by Congress); appliance efficiency standards moving up over time (as also already enacted by Congress); California's very aggressive climate policy (AB - 32); and the northeast states» Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
