Sydney’s plan to go 100% renewable by 2030
By Nicholas Brown on 12 November 2013
Allan Jones, the Chief Development Officer of Energy and Climate Change for Sydney, Australia, intends to have the city rely entirely on renewable energy sources for power, heating, cooling, and transport.
Allan, formerly the head of the UK’s climate program, was recently interviewed by the Renewables 100 Policy Institute. He commented on the ambitious nature of this program, as shown in the video below, followed by some text summary in the following sections.
Renewable Energy Sources For More Than Power
Very importantly, the initiative is to provide not only power, but also heating and cooling, using only renewable energy.
Allan Jones intends to have conventional renewables (wind and solar) generate 30% of the city’s electricity, with the other 70% coming from trigeneration (using biomass-fueled generators). Trigeneration, or combined heat, power, and cooling (CHPC) is a process in which a plant generates electricity and then uses the waste heat it produces to provide heating and cooling. The heat is used to power absorption refrigerators to provide a cooling effect.
The information mentioned about is very good and informative. These natural energies can help you in a big way. We can relate to this as we are into same business from years now, we are one of the best Australian company who brought 2G’s CHP technology to all Australian business sectors.
