What I know is that Saudi Arabia will build the largest solar city in the world in northwest Saudi Arabia + will build huge projects to export green nitrogen + has the cheapest project in the world to produce solar energy
In Wales there planning on doing a tidal lagoon in Swansea bay. Might not be on the op scale of three gorges dam but probably not far off scaling for population of Wales to China
I work for Scottish & Southern Electric (one of the biggest electricity providers in the UK) as an underground cable jointer. The company is spending billions of £’s on renewable energy, mainly wind farms. The biggest issue with the increasing demand is the age of the cable network. I’m not complaining too much though, it keeps me employed!
That solar park is just 2.5 GW India building a mega park with capacity of 30 GW of solar and wind energy, beating its own records. It will be completed by 2025 .
Bhadla park produces only 2.5 GW energy. A new solar park is under consideration in the Indian state of Gujarat which would be able to produce 30 GW of energy which is even more than the energy produced by three georges dam which produces 22 GW of energy. This solar park will also have wind mills between the solar panels!! The size of this park would be massive, covering an area of 760 square kilometer which is larger than whole singapore. It's cost would be a would be a whooping 20 billion dollar !! Carbon saving from this project is equivalent to planting 90 million trees! Feels really good to see india progress😍
Who is building it and in which city? Any govt body? I heard that NTPC is going to build something like this... Or is it some kind of project from adani green energy?
Anfortunately the report do not speak about the output power, which is the most relevant data of any power plant. Cerro Dominador output power is around 200 MW (100 MW solar panel + 110 MW of thermosolar). So it is not very big. I believe the plant in California must be much bigger.
FYI.... World's Largest hybrid Solar power plant.....which includes Solar & windmills...... already construction started in Kuchch region in state of Gujarat in INDIA..... The area size of that Solar park will be similar as the whole country area of Singapore / Bahrain.... It will be produced huge 30 GW power...... So you must include this project on top of list.....it's so Massive..... Estimated cost is 16 billion dollars....
@@mehroseemehrosee3887 anything below the 23 Degree 30 minutes latitude has lesser chance of producing better and efficient solar energy. India is lucky to be situated between Equator and Tropic of Cancer. In South America Northern South American countries are great. I would say since Tropic of Capricorn and a little south of that is good area to produce solar energy.
The thing that you don't mention about the heliostats - and which you should - is the potential to store collected heat. Gemsolar in Span does so with molten salt and achieved 24 hour a day electricity generation for 36 consecutive days way back in 2013. Yes, there are issues with the moving parts, especially in desert areas where insolation is high, but round the clock operation is something photovoltaic solar power simply cannot do. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemasolar_Thermosolar_Plant
However they want to sell you solar panels and batteries :) that is the business. Making a smart solution that stores energy in heat ... that would cut into their profits.
Great video, but Hornsea 1 is only the largest fully commissioned Offshore wind farm and it's small compared to the sites currently under construction... for example, Doggger Bank is using 13MW turbines that stand 260m tall with a 220m rotar diamater, and located 131km from the shore. vs 9MW / 200m / 154m / 120km for hornsea 1. In the upcoming "Scotwind" leasing round, we will see this step up further to 15.7MW turbines
@Hamare Pakwan It's not congress, It's BJP Go and check construction is going on.... chamchas even said Bullet Train is a Jumla.... feeling sorry for Chamcha and Jihadi Abdula😂😂😂💩
So many people are praying for the three gorges dam in China to fail. But damn...for over a decade now, they keep getting disappointed. Let's see if it lasts another decade. And then another. And another. 💕
Old rule: China is the largest region for wind and light power generation. Let's not report. Let's change the topic and talk about China. We must add a little negative energy to make the world hate China.
I day dreamed about the Heliostat Idea (tho not on this scale) as a teenager because of the simplicity of the concept so am always curious to see what others have done with this plan but solar panels have far outpaced everything else of course ... I enjoyed your video and appreciate your efforts to produce it ....Thanks
So did I, as well as a solar panel that tracks sun's movement to optimize orthogonality. I guess it's a simple yet elegant concept. Many people probably thought about this too.
@jimn 1023: Energy policy in may parts of the world is being determined by popular delusions rather than science and economics. The Climate Delusion and the Nuclear Power is Unsafe Delusion reign supreme.
Heliostats are cool but not the ones with a tower. They can use long parabolic mirrors that have a tube in the focal point. In this tube you can boil water, or better, melt salt. Excess salt can be kept warm in an isolated tank and used for energy at night.
We can not wait for the last drop of petrol to find new forms of power fans, you are doing a suuuuper great job indeed, spreading informations of how to use better natural resources, of how to share knowledge to improve the system and help each other, only watching such videos ..its wow
The United States uses 4,000 terawatts per year. The 3 Gorges Dam produces 100 tera watts per year. So in 40 years it will produce what the US uses in one year.
Most of the contents in this channel aren't accurate. But most viewers doesn't care about it or know about it. Also India isn't self-sufficient in solar panels and also miss it's own target in solar energy production. But the channel don't say that.
@@jibinjohn8871 india didnt missed its own target in solar energy production ..who told you that bulllshit??..india was so fast in implementing solar parks that our government increased its target by 3 times ...and worlds biggest solar ,wind mill mixed plant is right now underconstruction in india with capacity of 30GW(22GW of solar and 8GW of wind )..update your info first ...and india right now import solar panels from china but many plants have started manufacturing solar panels in india and many more companies are heavily investing in india ..even one of the USA company is building biggest solar panel manufacturing plant in india and many indian companies are also building solar panel manufacturing in india.
I like nuclear, but if you know its history of catastrophes, you would not be looking at other tech. The people of Germany have decided that they no longer want it
@@paulh7677 Correction. It's not a people of Germany have decided, but government of Germany have decided, accompanied those decision by appropriate propaganda. Using propaganda you can get people around the world to do what you want.
I liked India's badlaa solar project because it is using desert area in appropriate manner, i liked us mirror reflected energy project also,it also provides clean energy without harming anyone utilising wasteland area, I liked UK's offshore wind power project very much because it uses sea winds to generate clean energy without harming anyone!!!👍👍👍
The Noor Ouarzazate Solar Complex is a 580MW power plant located 10km north-east of the city of Ouarzazate, Morocco. It is the largest concentrated solar power plant in the world.
Correction : 99% of India has access to electricity. So making solar parks to cater to "energy demands of 20% of the country that doesn't have access to electricity", doesn't make sense. Please use up to date data and images/videos too.
@@christopherfairs9095 Yes, 99% of households in India. Access to electricity is exactly what you think it means. But access to drinking water is still below 50%. Although it increased from 16% to just below 50% in a matter of a year. % refers to households, not individuals, my bad.
@@kshitijshekhar1144 There is no nation on earth with 99% household supplied electricity , even in Vatican with 605 people some homeless are without electricity. Those statistics are just not in line with real life. USA is claimed to have 100% household electricity supply(according to World Bank) but more than 60, 000 Indians in "Navajo Nation" don't have electricity. Please, take that 99% to be on paper not reality.
@@AleksAvramJeff That means there is no 100% electricity supply if the homeless don't have access to it. We might dispute what access means but it is clear not everybody in Vatican is using electricity, sir.
solar panels holds the most promise for the future as its cheaper and easy to maintain than any other energy megaprojects, also sun provides enough electricity through solar panels in a day that humans can use in a year. #fact
Solar panels also have the lowest peak run time around 10%. So you need large amounts of storage. On shore wind around 30% and off shore wind around 50%. Hydro energy has a high workload, but potential to expand more production is limited in most countries. Solar heat is interesting because you can heat up molten salt to store the heat and also produce energy at night. So you have production and storage in one.
You can't really say one is better than the other. Solar is cheaper right now, but doesn't work at night, in which the demand for energy rises. You neee to balance it with eigher energy storage or a secondary energy source that works at night.
I think all of the energy humans are making is great, I’ll be back next week to see what your next video will be keep up the good work I bet soon you’re channel will reach 1 million subscribers
It need battery pack to store energy when the wind is of but the sun too at night is of the best solution is hidro electric in 1 river çan make 5 hidro plant o more is my ipinion
For the Solar Thermal part, you used a lot of video from Ashalim than Ivanpah. Also look at Noor 3, NE1 and Redstone, built by the company that I am working for
in deserts solar panels give shade and shelter to crop and animals - solar on every roof and parking lot the wind always blows offshore - undersea cables are cheap and easy
any technology that convert CO2 back to fuel and oil directly in a short period of time rather than waiting million years for the nature process to complete the same task?
phytoplankton colonies.. need some iron and go through rapidly.. a single phytoplankton colony can quickly grow to absorb 100k tons of C02 on a single day... however, microplastics kill them... hope it answers.
Interesting, technology developed in the oil industry could actually be used drilling deep wells in the geothermal industry. If you drill deep enough, 40% of the surface of the United States contains areas that are good candidates for drilling geothermal wells, also you can use treated filtered waste water/saltwater in a contained system so you don't have to use any freshwater. The issue with earthquakes is really a local issue and you just don't put them right next to where people are living. Technically a large truck driving down the street makes a small earthquake, most of the earthquakes these things create are far below the ability of a person to feel them. Unlike fracking and you don't use any nasty chemicals so you're not polluting the groundwater. Older wells that have been drilled that eventually cooled off, after about 15 years they heat up again and are reusable. It's the most usable green technology that's not really being applied very much. About 15 years ago there seemed to be a huge disinformation campaign on it, and a lot of those unwarranted fears are still preventing this technology from doing a lot of good.
Geothermal too expensive, not well developed, high carbon footprint of installation and maintenance compared to solar or offshore wind, not compatible with large scale electric grids, overall more effort and cost for less energy. At max capacity of 40%, this would have an unrealistic cost and construction timeline- bad idea.
Solar and wind makes little sense without a storage medium, such as batteries. Would also have been interesting if you had mentioned the many nuclear reactors being built around the world.
Nuclear is kaput. Too expensive, too wasteful, too dangerous, too slow to build. Did I mention too expensive? Nukies think we can't figure out how to store energy overnight but they can, maybe some day, over the rainbow, in the sweet bye and bye, inexpensively, but not yet, figure out how to safely store the most dangerous stuff on Earth, fission products, for millions of years without killing all life on Earth.. P.S. Building new nuclear reactors has flat-lined over the last 30 years, but renewables have taken off like a rocket. Hey nukie. Why don't you tell us about the great successes (snicker, snort) in new reactors at V.C. Summers, Vogtle, Olkiluoto 3, Framatome, Hinkley Point 3, and Taishan? Also include something on what you are going to do with all that highly radioactive and corrosive waste that has been collecting in cement ponds and trash cans outside all our major cities.
@@yayayayya4731 I wasn't talking about depleted uranium, mouth breather. Naturally occurring uranium-235 is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 704 million years. Alpha emitters won't penetrate a piece of paper. I was talking about the hundreds of highly radioactive and corrosive nuclear isotopes in the spent fuel rods that are the result of the fission process. They are alpha, beta, gamma and neutron emitters with half-lives of less than a second to millions of years. Some that can cause death in less than 30 seconds of exposure. And then there are the actinides, like plutonium. One millionth of a gram in you guarantees that you get cancer.Ten pounds, properly distributed would kill everyone on Earth, two times over. Nikita Khrushchev said, "After a nuclear war, the living will envy the dead." Please, use the uranium for paper weights, not fuel for fission reactions. Better yet, leave it buried in the ground.
