The EIA forecast that Brent crude oil prices will average $103.37/b in 2022. WTI is forecast to average $97.96/b in 2022. Oil prices are rising due to an increase in […]
Which type of wind turbine is most efficient?
Wind turbines with blades and horizontal axis. The common horizontal axis wind turbine models use three blades, the most efficient solution. Click to see full answer Which turbine is most […]
Can biofuel replace oil?
Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils, yellow grease, used cooking oils, or animal fats. The fuel is produced by transesterification—a process that converts fats and oils into biodiesel and glycerin […]
Is hydrogen a viable fuel for the long term?
Highly combustible, hydrogen has the potential to replace fossil fuels as a carbon-free source of energy. Click to see full answer How will hydrogen be used in the future? It […]
Why is HAWT more efficient than VAWT?
Horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) are the dominant wind gathering technology because they have higher efficiency ratings [14]. Their main advantage is that their blades move perpendicular to the flow […]
Does the size of a wind turbine matter?
Turbines became more sustainable over time because larger models produce substantially more energy than smaller versions, the researchers said, but it does not take as much additional energy to manufacture […]
Is the demand for natural gas increasing?
Since 2005, annual consumption of natural gas in the United States has increased by nearly 41 percent or 9 trillion cubic feet (Tcf). Electric power (up 60 percent) and industrial […]
Why are horizontal axis wind turbines more efficient?
Horizontal axis wind turbines prevail in the wind energy market due to their much higher efficiency compared to VAWT. Click to see full answer Why are horizontal wind turbines better? […]
How many energy suppliers are there in UK?
Currently, there are around 60 energy suppliers in the UK – and we're sure to see more emerge in the near future. Having this much choice means customers are able […]
Which is better vertical or horizontal wind turbine?
Horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) have dominated the wind industry but vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) offer potential to outperform HAWTs in urban environments. VAWTs can handle turbulent and unconventional […]
