Quantifying land use change is critical in tackling global challenges related to food, climate and biodiversity. Here the authors show that land use change has affected 32 % of the global land ...
Round-trip efficiency is the ratio of energy charged to the battery to the energy discharged from the battery and is measured as a percentage. It can represent the battery system''s total AC-AC or DC-DC efficiency, including losses from self-discharge and other electrical losses. In addition to the above battery characteristics, BESS have other ...
Here, we test the hypothesis that land, energy and environmental compatibility can be achieved with small- and utility-scale solar energy within existing …
4 · From the perspective of the spatial distribution of carbon storage, carbon storage is affected by land use type. High carbon storage is mainly located in mountainous areas with high forest coverage, and low carbon storage areas are widely distributed in building

Land for food and bioenergy in the IMAGE scenario for 1.5 C We analyze the impacts of the additional land-use change (LUC) to get from a 2 to a 1.5 C world from a new scenario that leads to a ...
The method is able to effectively smooth wind or solar power fluctuations using a battery energy storage station. Reference [14], ... The land occupation is 2,400 …
6 · Metrics. Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) will be an essential part of the energy transition. Over 45 pilot projects are underway to reduce the technical and regulatory risks of UHS, but ...
Design of LDES technologies. In this study, we set the minimum ratio of energy capacity to discharge power for LDES systems at 10:1 and the maximum at 1,000:1 (Li-ion storage is modelled with an ...
Electric vehicle smart charging can support the energy transition, but various vehicle models face technical problems with paused charging. Here, authors show that this issue occurs in 1/3 of the ...
The Economics of Battery Energy Storage: How Multi-Use, Customer-Sited Batteries Deliver the Most Services and Value to Customers and the Grid (Rocky Mountain Institute, 2015).
Here we present a method for robust estimation of the life cycle land use of electricity generated from natural gas through a case study that includes inventories of infrastructure,...
A majority of ecosystem functions (83%) was altered by land-use intensity and, in most cases, the effect of land-use intensity varied with climate: the climate–LUI interaction model was best ...
A one-kilometre-resolution map of aboveground carbon accumulation rates of forest regrowth shows 100-fold variation across the globe, with rates 32% higher on average than IPCC estimates.
For energy crops, our estimate, based on the 2015 satellite land-use data 39 and the theoretical yield of Miscanthus 33, is close to the median of previous estimates 30,33,35,36,37.
NPV is –US$598,602. Baseline assumptions include a 9.1-MWh battery, US$100 kWh –1 battery price, 30% station use ... The Future of Energy Storage—Towards A Perfect Battery with Global Scale ...
The use of land, energy and water can contribute to climate change, which, in turn, affects the systems that provide those resources. Efficient resource management can limit ...
We review in this study the life-cycle land use for renewable-fuel cycles, i.e., wind, photovoltaic, hydroelectric geothermal, and biomass, and for conventional fuel …
Combining biophysical and economic models, the authors show that the impacts of land use on bird biodiversity and carbon sequestration have increased over the years 2000–2011, with cattle ...
Land use of energy sources per unit of electricity2. First, we see that there are massive differences between sources. At the bottom of the chart we find nuclear energy. It is the most land-efficient source: per …
