Study: Atmospheric Engineering with Aerosols Could Reduce Effectiveness of Certain Kinds of Solar Power

Green Car Congress

The atmospheric engineering scheme of using sunlight-scattering stratospheric aerosols to combat global warming could reduce the effectiveness of certain kinds of solar power generation systems using parabolic or other concentrating optics.

Test of Planet-Cooling Scheme Could Start in 2022

Cars That Think

The proposal calls for what’s known as “solar geoengineering”: cooling the planet by deflecting sunlight that would otherwise strike the planet. Little is known about how, or whether, solar geoengineering might work and how the particles would react and move in the stratosphere.

HALO research aircraft measuring the emissions of megacities in EmeRGe project

Green Car Congress

In Asia, in particular, high temperatures, humidity, solar radiation and the frequency of storms play a major role. Ground measurements are being taken in China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines and Thailand, for example. We are conducting low-level visual flights and can only fly in cloudless areas.

France’s IFPEN studying industrial potential of onshore sources of natural hydrogen

Green Car Congress

IFPEN is a French public-sector research, innovation and training center active in the fields of energy, transport and the environment. In the future, hydrogen produced through water electrolysis is expected to be used to store energy as a way of compensating for solar or wind power’s intermittent output. 15, EGU2013-5553.

Renewable hydroelectric covers smaller, fast-moving bodies of water where the water flows through the generator’s turbine blades without disturbing the neighboring environment. The tectonic-plate-related power is generated most in Iceland, El Salvador, New Zealand, Kenya, and the Philippines. Renewables Depending on the Weather.
