ETC.
How much energy we gonna need as following years:
The unit is of Tera Watts.
And how much we can get from the surroundings:
Theoretically
Much of the wind energy is coming from the center of the ocean. But it's only the efficent now-get engergy by shore.
Biomass:5-7 TW If we use it all, that would is half of the energy we gonna need. But not enough.
Hydroelectric:it is briiliant but It's limited to the place where there be are load of water and river at some altitude .
Geothermal:it ' s very tricky to extract energy from heat. And it ' s very limited to some places such as volcanos and somewhere hot under ocean.
Tide/ocean Currents:it depends on geography and some places of the planet.
Above all, perhaps the largest one are the wind energy.
Solar Energy has vast potential. The potential energy has a "TW" on the earth.
How much solar energy we can get actually.
Photon---> useful
*[' f?ut?n]
N. Photons, light quanta, luminosity
"The light quantum of"; Photon
"Medical" photon
Sun + chemistry = Fuel
Solar Fuel:
H20 __with_light__---> H2 + 1/2 02
Store energy from the sunlight.
Direct Fixing of C02---> Liquid or gaseous fuel (methane, formic acid, formaldehyde, methanol)
Methane
*[' Meθein]
N. Methane, biogas
"Methane"; Biogas
"Medical" methane, biogas
Formic acid
"Acid"
"Medical" formate, formic acid
Formaldehyde
*[f?: ' Mældihaid]
N. Formaldehyde
"Formaldehyde"
"Medical" formaldehyde
Methanol
*[' Meθ?n?ul]
N. Methanol
"Methanol"
"Medical" methanol, xylitol
Later we can burn it and get energy from it.
These sunlight can is transferred directly into electricity.
Solar thermal engery which means light into heat.
Solar fuel is the lest efficent of the moment.
Solar effience Range:
Solar fuel (chemical) < solar electric (10%-20%) < solar thermal (85% or more)
But do we get from solar thermal energy are heat. This can is used for industrial heating, process heating, domestic heating.
So we is looking for photovoltaics.
