Generation of electricity from renewable energy sources

Renewable energy is energy that comes from resources which are continually replenished such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewable resources, with 10% [discuss] of all energy from traditional biomass, mainly used for heating, and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro, modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly. [2] The share of renewables in electricity generation is around 19%, with 16% of electricity coming from hydroelectricity and 3% from new renewables.

 

 

United States build the largest power plant solar-powered

after the adoption of the first solar power plant here is the United States awarded two loan guarantees worth two billion dollars are working in the field of solar energy.Branch said Spanish company in the United States and that you will get about one and a half billion dollars that he will build the largest power plant solar-powered in the world in the U.S. state of Arizona.And apingo company is considered a pioneer in the field of electric power generation using sunlight.As company Abaond and which is engaged in the production of solar panels Vstqom the production of solar panels very evolution has never been produced commercially.Obama said projects will make more than five thousand jobs new and Ikllan of emissions.Obama said, "After years of watching companies build things and create jobs overseas it's good news that we attracted a company to our shores to build a plant and create jobs here in America."He added that the loan guarantees worth $ 400 million submitted to Abaond for Solar Industries, based in Colorado, so as to manufacture advanced panels for solar energy in new manufacturers and provide more than two thousand jobs for the implementation of construction and 1,500 permanent jobs.The industry faces the U.S. renewable energy equipment severe competition from their Chinese counterparts.

 

China set up his first power plant sun-powered 

Beijing: Chinese specialist predicted that the intervention station "Aanchenj" to generate electricity to exploit the sun's energy trial operation period in the next month.
He Xue Qi between the vice chief engineer of the company "Huangmengj" LTD Holding clean energy, that this plant with a capacity of one MW and developed by the company in cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the suburb of the capital, Beijing is the first in Asia and invest 120 million yuan.Xue explained that this station, with independent intellectual property rights, will provide 2.7 million kilowatt / hours of electricity per year after the completion of its inception and this figure is equivalent to the electricity generated from the combustion of more than 1,100 tons of standard coal.While running this station can reduce the emission of more than 2,300 tons of carbon dioxide and 21 tons of sulfur dioxide and 35 tons of nitrogen and oxygen compounds chemical annually.Xue confirmed that generate electricity to exploit the sun's energy advantage of the characteristics of hygiene and low cost, large size and has promising prospects in conjunction with the maturation of photovoltaic technologies. 

Germany dispense the fossil fuels by 2050

 

By the year 2050, Germany will be able to generate all the electricity consumed by renewable energy sources.Expected to generate Germany all electricity consumed from renewable energy sources by 2050 and thus become the first major industrialized nation in the world dispense with fossil fuels, as reported German Federal Environment Agency.Germany now generates 16 percent of electricity consumed from wind power and solar power and other renewable sources. This percentage increase three times the level of 15 years ago.The Guardian newspaper quoted Chairman of the Federal Environment Agency Vlazibart saying that "a full transition to renewable energy by 2050 is possible from a technical point of view, and environmental." He considered that this very realistic goal for adoption on available technology originally an "not stoning unseen".Germany leads the world today in the power generation of photoshop voltage cells and expects to add more than 5,000 MW from this source during the current year to reach a total generating capacity of cells photoshop voltage to 14 thousand megawatts. Germany also comes in second place among the nations of the world in the production of energy from wind power after the United States. The past decade has seen the provision of about 300 thousand jobs in the renewable energy sector.The German government set the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 4 percent during the period between 1990 and 2020 and by 80 to 85 percent by 2050. The head of the Federal Environment Agency that it is possible to achieve this goal if fully transformed Germany into renewable energy sources by 2050. And causes the production of electricity by about 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Germany, especially from power plants fueled by coal.

 Egypt plans to build a solar power plant in 2017 

The Ministry of Electricity and Energy Egypt plans to build a power plant solar-powered capacity of 100 MW between 2012 and 2017 after the start of work on the first solar power plant in Egypt this year. Egypt is seeking to generate 20 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2020. Defaulted and solar energy projects for wind plants, but is scheduled to complete the work in the first solar power station in creams, south of Cairo this year.And produced the first solar power plant generating 120 megawatts of power in a traditional way using natural gas and 20 megawatts of solar energy.He said Aktham Abul Ela and Undersecretary of the Ministry of Electricity, told Reuters that the project of the second leg to generate electricity using solar energy in Kom Ombo, near the Aswan High Dam PV power will only be used with a capacity of 100 megawatts.He added that the project will cost four billion Egyptian pounds ($ 714 million), with financial support from the World Bank and the African Development Fund.Abul Ela said that the Kom Ombo project is part of a five-year plan between 2012 and 2017, explaining the comments made by the Minister of Electricity news agency MENA.Egypt and the evolution of producing oil and gas projects to generate electricity from wind along the eastern coast of the Red Sea. And already has wind farms at Zafarana and Hurghada with a capacity of 430 megawatts.

 

Malaysia: build the largest power plant biomass

 

KUALA LUMPUR: A company "feed. Ts. XML" Heavy Industries announced today that it has won an order worth 60 billion won (50.20 million dollars) to build a larger plant to generate electricity and heat by biomass in Malaysia. And in the company official confirmed that the deal, which was signed with the company "Ebe" Malaysian, require the construction of the plant which will use a combination of biomass to generate electricity, according to the Lord "and the Qatar News Agency.The aim of the station that will be built in an industrial complex located in the Malaysian state of Saba, to produce 200,000 megawatts of electricity each year, which is equivalent energy that is used by 40,000 family home in a year. Our factory is expected to be completed in August 2012.
