Sentences with phrase «thus more electricity»

Not exact matches

«The Haliade - X shows GE's commitment to the offshore wind segment and will set a new benchmark for cost of electricity, thus driving more offshore growth,» Jerome Pecresse, GE Renewable Energy's president and CEO, said.

They also give competitive advantage to certain businesses against others - so, certain «green» businesses get preferential tax treatment compared to, say, traditional energy companies, thus making it more profitable to engage in, say, wind energy than in building other means of generating electricity.

It refers to the phenomenon that a typical carbon capture system requires a great deal of electricity and thus saps power from a power plant and can cause electricity costs to spike by 70 percent or more.

Thus, the costs of electricity use became more fairly distributed once each household had to pay for the electricity it used.

It is that the rise of electricity and the power - station & «clean» domestic coal 1940 - 1970 may have cut black carbon more than is presently accounted for and thus with the renewed ramp - up of SO2 emissions in that period, more readily provide the cause of the 1940 - 75 temperature «hiatus».

It's been widely assumed that this is due to the lack of a battery packs ability to hold larger amounts of electricity which would result in more energy to deliver to your electric motor — thus allowing you to travel farther.

Hybrids generate their own electricity and never need to be plugged in — though there is a faction within the hybrid community that is encouraging manufacturers to offer an optional overnight plug - in feature, which would allow for a bigger battery, and thus allow the electric motor to do more of the work.

Electricity is also heavily utilised as the U.S. militaries defensive structures need a constant supply to operate, thus opponents will likely look to knock out power quickly in order to bring in helicopters and more.

It's long been known that white roofs reflect more heat back into space, reducing the amount of electricity used for A / C and thus drastically cutting down on energy consumption.

Furthermore, this consideration might influence the ideal location or orientation of a solar design (such as siting the design where it will get more afternoon light, and thus offset energy when electricity prices are higher, rather than where it would produce the most energy overall).

Anyway, it is interesting that you can wrap your head around a statement like this (basically, electricity produced by gas / nuclear prevents production from coal and thus saved emissions), but are unable to understand that renewables do exactly the same (replacing emissions from coal) and they even do it more effectively than gas and way cheaper than nuclear.

So help me understand: if Germany produces more CO2 emissions year on year, but EXPORTS the some of the electricity thus generated to other countries, then it gets a «free pass» on the increasing CO2 footprint?

Put another way: One dollar spent subsidizing Fitzpatrick could thus leverage almost three times as much clean electricity as a dollar spent on renewables subsidies — and deliver far more reliable power than wind farms and solar plants do.

By far the most pronounced increase in electricity consumption and thus CO2 emissions from the lower income groups to higher income groups is in the use of small electronic devices that make living more comfortable for those who can afford it.

if Germany produces more CO2 emissions year on year, but EXPORTS the some of the electricity thus generated to other countries, then it gets a «free pass» on the increasing CO2 footprint?

This grid would not only aid in realizing Europe's huge offshore wind potential, it would link national grids with each other, thus facilitating more - efficient electricity use throughout the continent.

Thus, transporting the electricity produced by the Ouarzazate solar plant to the European market would be 91 to 149 times more expensive than generating the power.

So while the current gearbox - systems can do the job reliably, direct drive mechanisms that use about half as many parts should be even more reliable and thus reduce operating costs over the long - term, making electricity from wind farms even more competitive.

New York University, for example, may rank as a big emitter in New York, but a year ago it opened a co-generation facility that makes electricity and uses the waste heat to heat and cool buildings, thus doing far more work per pound of carbon dioxide emitted than most other sources.

With more electric vehicles in our state, we import less oil — and replacing that energy source with locally produced electricity is thus a net benefit to Washington's economy.

Instead of a single or other simple (e.g. night and day) tariff, dynamic pricing and more complex tariff structures are expected to be introduced to allow «demand response», in other words, to allow customers to buy electricity at constantly changing prices, thereby cutting demand at peak times, and thus, resulting in a lower need for peak capacity as well as better integration of renewable energy sources.

Thus, sup - porting these 17 selected electricity and gas pro- jects, signals Europe's willingness to upgrade and make the Europe - an energy system more competitive that will ulti - mately deliver cheaper and secure energy to all European consumers.

That means that as time goes on, each individual mining for them has to work harder and harder (in a figurative sense — it's the computer that's working harder and using more electricity, and thus, costing more conventional money).

This third electrode then drains residual lithium - ions from one of the poles, thus removing «rock content» that prevents battery cells from storing more electricity.
