Environmental aspects of alternative energy technologies for California
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6051389
The following topics are discussed: cost-benefit analysis of energy impacts on biological, geophysical, and social environments; impacts of soft and transition technologies such as solar heat, on-site/central wind systems, waste/farm biomass systems, geothermal heat/electricity, hydroelectric dams, and fluidized-bed coal burners; observations on increased efficiency; and needs for further work. An appendix on biomass includes discussions of environmental impacts associated with the conversion of biomass to secondary energy forms, environmental impacts associated with use of fuels, and systems implications of biomass energy use. Environmental effects of hydropower are discussed in a second appendix. (HLW)
