Sweden will build the largest Wind-Park


Wind-ParkSweden’s government today approved a project to build a park of wind turbines to produce electricity, which will be the largest in the world, Itar-Tass on details of the Swedish Ministry for Environmental Protection. After building a huge wind-park its current production capacity will reach 8.12 TWh, which produce electricity from wind in the country will increase more than 3 times the current volume. The wind-park consisting of 1100 numbers 200-meter generators will be located in an area of 450 square kilometers of territory in north-eastern coast of the country. That area is now pasture for deer, so the government undertook the project for the contractors to pay for the wind-park compensation in the event that any way wind-park negatively affect livestock in the area.
The innovation is according to latest requirements of the European Commission for electricity producing.

Only 3% of electricity comes from green sources


Wind EnergyThe share generated from renewable energy sources is three percent of total production, as most energy is produced from biomass, wind, geothermal sources, while at least – from solar panels. According to surveys of energy consumption worldwide by 22 300 TWh last year will increase to 33 000 TWh in 2030. Told journalists Henrik Binsle, director of the Laboratory of Renewable Energy Danish Technical University. Today in the Danish capital Copenhagen climate conference begins. Increasing the share of green energy will reduce the rate of increase in average temperature of the earth. In the next 90 years, this will balance the energy level of carbon to that in the middle of last century. According to Danish researchers to reduce the level of dioxin spewing carbon into the atmosphere must be increased to 17% level of energy from renewable sources. This in turn will reduce the percentage of use of other sources to produce electricity – the most significant, three times will reduce oil use for power and 1 / 4 – coal. The scientists believe that we should increase the share of energy produced by nuclear plants. According to researchers in the distribution produce “green power” after 20 years should have a surplus of energy from wind farms, one third is from solar power plants, while reducing the under one-sixth share of energy from biomass. According Binsle currently one percent of the world’s electricity is from wind plants. In Denmark the share is 20% currently, and in 2025 will be 50%, he added.
