Closing out this series (I think), below are the top countries in the world* for wind power capacity relative to electricity production**. In other words, these are the countries that have the most wind power compared to their electricity production. This post follows posts on top wind power countries … [continued]
Following up on my post yesterday presenting the top countries in the world for total installed wind power (end of 2011) and newly installed wind power (2011) per capita, below are charts and lists on the top countries* in the world for total installed wind power per GDP and … [continued]
What are the top countries in the world for wind power, per capita? Take a look below! I’ve been meaning to get to this for awhile, but hopefully that means the data have just gotten better since I first intended to put this together. The Global Wind Energy Council … [continued]
Eon Nordic is planning a gigantic 700-MW wind farm in the Baltic Sea off of Sweden’s southeastern shores, it was just announced. The Nordic wind farm, located in Södra Midsjöbanken, will be one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. The 700-MW wind farm will include 180-230 wind … [continued]
Some more good cleantech stories of the pastw week or so: 1. The City 2.0 Wins 2012 TED Prize. For the first time, the TED prize didn’t go to a person but to an idea. Of course, City 2.0 includes a lot of cleantech and other green-friendly features. 2. … [continued]
Other than our own stories, here are 8 notable cleantech business and product stories: 1. Gamesa Opens 6th Factory in China Gamesa, a large wind turbine company from Spain, has opened its 6th wind turbine factory in China now. Ad it’s already got some deals lined up: “It will provide … [continued]
For those considering building waste management strategies, it might be time to look at the toilet bowl. A number of composting alternatives are now on the market, and they function without emitting putrid odors.
Offshore wind power is not in place in most countries still, but it is in some places (especially the EU) and it is expected to grow considerably in the coming years. Let’s take a quick look at what’s in place now and what is being planned around the world.
Yes, following up on my posts looking at total installed wind power capacit, wind power growth, and wind power capacity relative to GDP, here’s one on wind power capacity related to population. I think this is very useful information for comparing which countries are true wind power leaders.
We make a big deal of how much total wind power capacity is installed in different countries, but perhaps a better way to look at wind power capacity is compared to GDP or population. At the least, it is an interesting way to look at this.
