Sentences with phrase «renewable energy capacity because»

This is expected to boost China's renewable energy capacity because financing from polluters can support more wind farms, hydroelectric dams and solar power plants.

Not exact matches

But a recent study in PNAS suggested that wind (and other renewables) will fall short of slashing carbon emissions, because there just isn't enough of it in the U.S. Based on data from a company owned by one of the study's authors, this map's white areas show where wind turbines would be most effective — but because wind isn't available all the time, they'd only produce roughly 50 percent of the energy wind turbines could at maximum capacity.

The nickel - iron (NiFe) battery fell out of favour in motor vehicles because its size and capacity compared unfavourably to the lead - acid battery, but it could well come into its own for storing renewable energy.

Feed - in tariffs would also have the effect of lowering the consumer's costs for renewable energy, which would only grow cheaper over time, as more and more manufacturing capacity was built — because under equivalent economies of scale, renewables are definitely cheaper than fossil fuels.

Guest post: Roger Andrews Renewable energy, particularly wind and solar, continues to set records for electicity generation and installed capacity in many parts of the world, and as shown in Figure 1 wind and solar growth in recent years has indeed been quite spectacular (the data used to construct this and following Figures are from the 2014 BP Statistical Review of World Energy): Figure 1: Electricity Generated from Solar and Wind, 1965 - 2013 But Figure 1 doesn't tell the whole story because solar and wind are only two of the four main sources of renewablRenewable energy, particularly wind and solar, continues to set records for electicity generation and installed capacity in many parts of the world, and as shown in Figure 1 wind and solar growth in recent years has indeed been quite spectacular (the data used to construct this and following Figures are from the 2014 BP Statistical Review of World Energy): Figure 1: Electricity Generated from Solar and Wind, 1965 - 2013 But Figure 1 doesn't tell the whole story because solar and wind are only two of the four main sources of renewable eenergy, particularly wind and solar, continues to set records for electicity generation and installed capacity in many parts of the world, and as shown in Figure 1 wind and solar growth in recent years has indeed been quite spectacular (the data used to construct this and following Figures are from the 2014 BP Statistical Review of World Energy): Figure 1: Electricity Generated from Solar and Wind, 1965 - 2013 But Figure 1 doesn't tell the whole story because solar and wind are only two of the four main sources of renewable eEnergy): Figure 1: Electricity Generated from Solar and Wind, 1965 - 2013 But Figure 1 doesn't tell the whole story because solar and wind are only two of the four main sources of renewablerenewable energyenergy.

Each spreadsheet lists the model estimates of capacity additions (what electric generating capacity the model and what the states tell the model to include because of regulations); generation (how much the existing and projected units will produce); prices (including firm power prices, energy prices, capacity prices, allowance prices, natural gas prices, and renewable energy credit prices); total CO2 emissions; fuel consumption for different fuel types; and transmission flows into and out of the RGGI power grids.

I deleted the following sentence because it is wrong: «Energy storage also assumes an oversizing of the renewable power capacity, otherwise there would never be a surplus of electricity that could be stored for later use.»

Our projections are much closer to actual renewable energy development than those from IEA because we have monitored global and national renewable energy market development and production capacities carefully since the mid 90s, and discuss possible growth rates with the solar and wind industries.

UBS analysts say utilities in Europe need to shut down 30 % of their gas, coal, and oil - fed power capacity by 2017, not to fight global warming, cut pollution, or cut fuel imports, but because renewable energy is pushing fossil fuels off the grid.

This means a duplication of capacity and more than doubling of the costs (because the renewable energy generators are much higher cost than the fossil fuel generators which are essential back up and could do the job on their own).

River flow hydroelectric stations are those with small or no reservoir capacity Hydroelectric power is a renewable energy It is renewable because the water used will evaporate and eventually precipitate to refill the reservoir Is /

However, because of there is an inevitable ~ 20 % capacity factor applicable across the board for all renewables, the actual cumulative energy output by from these Renewable sources only results in ~ 5 % of the total electricity generation for these nations.

Neglecting to point out that because intermittent renewables struggle to generate power over a third of the time we will likely have to over-build renewable capacity and add massive amounts of energy storage biases the renewable argument.
