Question:
Assume that a 10 MW coal power plant is to be replaced by a 10 MW solar power plant for climate change mitigation.
i Estimate the energy needed to construct the coal power plant
ii Estimate the energy needed to construct the coal power plant
iii Estimate the water needed to construct the coal power plant
iv Estimate the land needed for both the coal and solar power plant
v Based on the bills of materials for the two power plants, estimate the materials needed
(vi) Estimate the annual GHG emissions that could be reduced if the coal power plant is replaced by the solar power plant
vii What is your conclusion?
Repeat question 1 considering the capacity factors of the two power plants as 85% and 35% for coal and solar power plants, respectively.
i What is your conclusion?
ii How does the new conclusion compare with the previous one?
