Green energy worldwide in 2030

According to a study by Stanford University in California, the world could be supported by green energy sources by 2030. In their research carried out a profound study of the developments that can be done and how it should employ to accomplish this within the next 20 to 40 years. The authors of this report are researchers Mark Z. And Mark A. Jacobson Delucchi, who published his article in the journal Energy Policy in September last year ( Part 1 and Part2 ). One of the key points in the study who was the aspect of energy wasted in transporting it. According to the study, the world would need 30% less energy if you start to find other ways such as generating cells on hydrogen. The proposal, in summary, says that while oil is the best source of energy, it is undeniable that its reserves will reach its limit in 2030, and for now the global economy has chosen to exploit the natural gas. However, obtaining electricity from gas is expensive (as mentioned earlier). Even the huge British Petroleum is aware of this and mentions it in their projections to 2030 . The proposal by the researchers is that power must be distributed as follows: 50% of a wind, solar 40%, 4% geothermal, hydroelectric 4% and 2% of the tides. The key to achieving this is through economic incentives. The proposal is to produce hydrogen, which can give off a lot of energy and more efficient transportation, from the electricity generated by these systems. Additionally, the report indicates how energy should be used, according to this: the ground vehicles and boats should use electricity generated from hydrogen fuel cells, aircraft from liquid hydrogen, household appliances and heating and cooling systems based on electricity, hot water from solar heating and industrial processes based on electricity and hydrogen.
