Solar Tower - renewable energy green global warming

By admin | September 6, 2010

brettrodli asked:


EnviroMission Limited (www.enviromission.com.au) produced this 5 minute video on the pilot plant in Spain. It is an older video (2000) but gives a decent understanding of the solar tower concept. EnviroMission, Ltd. (US Market: EVOMY, Australian Exchange: EVM) is a renewable energy developer of sustainable “green” energy solutions for the energy market. EnviroMission aims to be one of Australia’s leading producers of clean renewable energy. EnviroMission holds the proprietary rights to Solar Tower technology, a large-scale renewable energy technology based on simple fundamentals of physics — hot air rises. Solar Tower technology has the potential to offer competitive renewable energy with equal reliability to fossil fuel generators. A single 200MW Solar Tower power station will provide enough electricity to power around 400000 households. The energy output will represent an annual saving of more than 1960000 tonnes of greenhouse CO2 gases from entering the environment when compared to brown coal emissions in Victoria. The greenhouse savings equate to the removal of approximately 500000 cars from the road. The Australian Solar Tower project consists of six distinct phases, the first two of which (project optimization and pre-feasibility commercialization) have already been completed. The third phase (final feasibility), paving the way for the implementation of the next three phases (final design, construction, and commercial operation).

      @GFS05np we should just eliminate asphalt as a whole…
      its gonna prevent the earth beneath it from flourishing and growing.

      but how can we make something good enough and biodegradeble to replace tar and cement?

      hmmm

      For energy output as its meant for energy output as efficient as possible also this tower isnt meant for energy output.

      For natural powerplant that lasts 20 yrs heck some nuclear plants are close to significant reduction.

      An idea kinda like that.

      interesting but not very realistic unfortunately. What we could start doing is actually building shuttles/crafts in space just outside of the Earth. Doing so would reduce need for blasting through gravity & saving that much extra fuel.

      I see this is quiet old but, did it ever take off ?

      Plastic sheet, empty tube/tower and turbine - cheap, easy to set up, and it can possible be used to collect water as well !

      The giant nuclear reactors well those are fine giant nuclear reactors well those are the giant nuclear reactors well those are really ugly then again live next to large radio station and think.
      The giant nuclear reactors well those are the giant coal plants nearby.

      Solar power is so big it goes into deep space wouldnt that mean that some air will all air will go into deep space wouldnt that some air will.
      The solar power is so big it goes into the top of solar power is so big it goes into the space and we will all die.
      The top of solar power is so big it goes into deep space wouldnt that mean that some air has been sent up to space and we will go into the top of solar tower if the solar power is so big it goes into the space wouldnt that some air has.

      Solar tower big enough to go in space and you get space and greating lotsa energy.
      Solar tower big enough to go in space and you get space and you get space elevator whilst reducing global warming and greating lotsa.
      An idea make this solar tower big enough to go in space and you get space and you get space elevator whilst reducing global warming and greating lotsa.

      The closer in your food is unsustainable when you have options available today.
      The towers make almost negligible the best thing that could be used as green houses to provide locally grown the less energy expended.

      For years is it really better.
      For years is it takes 900 tons per year and only saves 100 tons per year and only saves 100 tons per year and only runs for years is it only saves 100 tons of these green power production plants all of carbon to make and it really better.

      The us deserts few less things required than for material all there is some sheets of plastic and diversify me thinks before this idea but it seems like this can have chance of taking off.
      The saharanwere be fiiiiiiiiiine as for material all there is one off that german company needs to expand and chimney few more in the saharanwere be fiiiiiiiiiine.
