However, even with the current electricity generation mix EAFs offer lower emissions intensity the BF route. Reducing demand for steel through products’ lifetime extension can be supported by other strategies including using less steel by design and more intensive use of steel products. Allwood et ...
Comparisons of emissions arising from the current UK electricity generating mix with emissions from the current car fleet are made. In addition, as electric vehicles are unlikely to be important for a number of years, emissions from a range of different power station fuels and technologies are ...
followed by a further three successful projects in the most recent auction. Together, these projects account for enough renewable electricity generation capacity to power thousands of UK homes, support local supply chains and jobs, and make an important contribution to the UK’s ambitions for net ...
How electricity-intensive is the UK? Despite the continual decline in electricity consumption, the UK remains one of the largest electricity consumers in the world. In terms ofper capita electricity consumption, however, the UK pales in comparison to other European countries such as Norway, Germany...
However, electricity demand is expected to more than double by 2050 and while wind and solar will be the main contributors to meet this demand, a diverse generation technology mix is needed to keep the lights on. Co-author Professor Beth Scott, of the University of Aberdeen, said: “...
Challenges and Opportunities" at the World Summit onRenewable Energyand Resources will shed light on the significant contributions and potential of hydropower in the global renewable energy landscape.Hydropowerhas long been recognized as a reliable and sustainable source of electricity generation, and this...
“The UK has shown clear leadership in cleaning up its electricity generation, moving from the most polluting mix of any G7 nation in 2010 to 3rd best in just 5 years. “This has improved our health through lower air pollution, reduce our impact on climate change, and insulates us from ...
