If now people think that fossil fuels can meet our requirements at any time, we can only say that he has been OUT, as the global steps further accelerate the speed of economic development, both in the industrial production and life applications, the traditional fossil fuels has showed its application, and both China and other international, solar street lamps and other new energy products is already showing its great superiority. However, compared to most of the praise and welcome for solar street lamps, there are also some people for a new energy such as solar raised questions about whether can keep sustainable development. So what can new energy on a sustainable development path?
caught believed to renewable energy onto the road of sustainable development, and a series of difficulties for breakthrough. I will be in Ireland, for example the following. In 2008, Ireland's energy consumption is about 16 million tons of oil equivalent. In 2008, the proportion of renewable energy consumption of 600000 tons of oil equivalent, the only accounted for 4% of energy consumption. That is to say, at present our dependence on renewable energy technologies in only our dependence on oil by 96% instead of 100%. As we enter the peak oil age, we will be more concern about the outlook for future energy. For the current energy consumption, renewable energy to achieve a very high proportion, now is not possible. And if you want to achieve the impossible you need to build more infrastructure, and this will require more fossil energy for support. This is understandable, for production, manufacturing and running a variety of renewable energy devices, it requires a large amount of fossil energy consumption. No fossil fuels, existing renewable energy projects may never built, operation and maintenance will also has a problem. Because the equipment factory will consume a large amount of fossil fuels, at the same time, other factory for parts manufacturing and consumption of fossil fuels.
these raw materials and components production is energy-intensive, even if the finished product, it also need through the long-distance transportation. Renewable energy equipment staff usually ride or drive to work, at the same time, the company will also send some people to the construction site for operation and maintenance. To let the fact that a fan site can explain the problem well. The operation of the aircraft will consume a large amount of fossil fuels, and once at the construction site, you can see the many driven by fossil fuels are bulldozers, cranes, trucks running. In addition, there are a lot of loading and unloading machine used to unload the fan blade, parts such as these from thousands of miles away to transport products. Company is using a helicopter transport materials, which not to mention the oil consumption.
of course, in the traditional petrochemical energy is more and more difficult to meet the needs of our time, increase the use of new energy is understandable. However, if the new energy can't onto the road of sustainable development, it is still possible to petrochemical energy path, it's just a matter of time, then the energy problem will stand out. Therefore, the main task of scientists is to study the sustainable development of new energy sources such as solar energy.
