It is now less expensive to install new renewable energy than it is to build new coal-fired power stations, so the installation of renewables will increase over time. On current projections, Australia could get most its electricity from renewables by 2050.
Globally, 40% of our CO2 emissions come from electricity generation but fortunately we can do something about this by adding renewable power. Other significant emitters are passenger cars (10%) and this too can be reduced if our electricity comes from renewable energy and we drive electric vehicles.
Cars have been developed with their own solar panels that can charge a car battery to do an average 25 km/day. That is close to the average distance a car travels daily. Toyota sees this development as a way to substantially reduce the CO2 emissions from hybrid cars.

I am impressed about the speed how renewable energy concepts are developed and applied in Australia.
ReplyDeleteThe innovative Wind Power Modules of LWS Systems - German Technology - could fit nicely into the current and future developments:
• Stand alone version at almost any size or
• Combined with Solar
• With own storage option
• With Cloud connected option or
• A lantern to charge your car or Car Park and more...
Renewable Energy being generated with the aim of becoming an independent Electric Power Producer. Wherever you live – in open space, anywhere, in towns, in homes and houses, at commercial and industrial buildings, in the desert or in the arctic, at sea on ships or on islands. Let’s see how to achieve it...
Large Wind Power (windmill) equipment - too big.
Small Wind Power (windmill) systems - not very effective.
PhotoVoltaic (PV) systems - the efficiency needs improvement.
Let's discuss LWS Systems, the designer, the developer, the manufacturer of innovative wind power modules (WPMs) - German Technology – proven and patented.
LWS’s Low Wind Power equipment fills the last gap in electric power generation from regenerative energies – now you can choose your solution, generating your very own electrical power – and become an independent Electric Power Producer.
