Environmental Impacts of Renewable Energy: Gone with the Wind?

摘要: Wind energy is constantly gaining ground, especially in the UK, helping to tackle climate change and support security as country wants become less dependent imported fossil fuels like coal gas. Nevertheless, wind farm life cycle environmental impacts are not negligible construction operation of turbine generators can cause several area where they have been sited. Therefore, it reasonable question, (a) whether there “hidden” from use renewable technologies, (b) supporting order displace just substitutes one problem with another (or more). This chapter uses UK a case-study describe thorough processes assessment related energy. lecture creates pallet potential issues that should be taken into account regards implementing governance practices. The two methods used here, Environmental Impact Assessment approach (used identify on-site farms on environment) Life Cycle (LCA) approach, which connects energy, material, wastes emissions wide range impact categories. findings could way we think about might make easy understand why still people who opposed development farms.
