Carbon Budget 2010-2050

Al Gore calls for 100% clean electricity and independence from foreign oil within ten years “ a political promise to do something 40 years from now is universally ignored because everyone knows that it's meaningless. Ten years is about the maximum time that we as a nation can hold a steady aim and hit our target.”

Mark Jacobson: Shifting the world to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2030 The cost of generating and transmitting power would be less than the projected cost per kilowatt-hour for fossil-fuel and nuclear power. 3.8 million large wind turbines, 90,000 solar plants, and numerous geothermal, tidal and rooftop photovoltaic installations worldwide.

Key technology – concentrating solar thermal power

Electricity and Energy Demand

Buildings -efficiency, heat pumps & solar

Electrifying vehicle fleet: 5:1 efficiency gain biofuels for minimal 5% non-electrification Modal shift: Shift to freight rail. Electric trains and trams, 50% of urban passenger-kilometres, 25% of non-urban by public transport Electrifying transport

Nissan Patrol Capacity 5 17 litres per 100km How Easy is Energy Efficiency in Transport? Siemens Combino tram Capacity 190 16 litres per 100km (Oil Energy Equiv) ‏ The Nissan Patrol uses more energy to move 5 people around the city than a Siemens tram uses to move 190 people

To supply 60% of Australia’s energy
Each tower module generates 217 MWe
Ability to store energy and dispatch as needed, day or night, enough for 17 hrs at full output
One site or Solar Region will be made up of 19 modules and will have a capacity of 3,500 MW
Proposed 12 sites distributed across Australia
ZCA2020 Solar Thermal Power 217 MW Module 3500 MW Solar Region

ZCA2020 Wind Power
To Supply 40% of Australia’s energy
6,400 Enercon E-126 turbines, each 7.5 MW
Low-cost, technologically mature, first dispatch
One Wind Region will be either 2,000 MW (270 turbines) or 3,000 MW ( 400 turbines), distributed among smaller wind farms
Proposed 23 geographically diverse regions across Australia

“ The review finds that the transmission scenario proposed is technically feasible in terms of capacity and reliability. In addition, the proposed transmission uses mature technology with proven capability around the world.” SKM Review of ZCA2020 transmission The National Grid ZCA2020 National Grid
