• Significant potential in US Great Plains, inner Mongolia and northwest China

• U.S.:Use 6% of land suitable for wind energy development; practical electrical generation potential of ≈0.5 TW

• Globally: Theoretical: 27% of earth’s land is class >3 => 50 TW Practical: 2 TW potential (4% utilization)

Off-shore potential is larger but must be close to grid to be interesting; (no installation > 20 km offshore now)

• Mean terrestrial geothermal flux at earth’s surface 0.057 W/m2

• Total continental geothermal energy potential 11.6 TW• Oceanic geothermal energy potential 30 TW

• Wells “run out of steam” in 5 years• Power from a good geothermal well (pair) 5 MW• Power from typical Saudi oil well 500 MW• Needs drilling technology breakthrough (from exponential $/m to linear $/m) to become economical)

Global: Top Down

• Requires Large Areas Because Inefficient (0.3%)

• 3 TW requires ≈ 600 million hectares = 6x1012 m2

• 20 TW requires ≈ 4x1013 m2

• Total land area of earth: 1.3x1014 m2

• Hence requires 4/13 = 31% of total land area

• Significant amount of energy produced in the world is wasted in the form of heat (61% is US)

• Thermoelectric effects can be engineered via nanomaterials – Modify the average energy of moving electrons– Selective scattering of phonons w.r.t electrons

• Micro refrigerators on a chip (silicon based)• Localized cooling, Cooling power density > 500 W/cm2

• Metal semiconductor nanocomposites for direct conversion of heat into electricity

• Potential to reach 20-30% conversion efficiencies

A. Shakouri 3/25/2009Can Renewables Save the World?

• Fossil fuels have excellent energy characteristics. • Wind/ geothermal are among the cheapest of

renewables. There is potential for significant growth but they can not solve our energy problem.

• Solar energy has the potential to provide all our energy needs.– Currently expensive; it is intermittent.

• Currently no clear options for large scale energy storage

• Biomass has the potential to provide part of transportation energy needs – Cellulosic biofuels and algaes are interesting but they

have not demonstrated large scale/long term potential. One has to consider the full ecosystem impact (water, food, etc.).

A. Shakouri 3/25/2009

Can Renewables Save the World?

• If our goal is to have a planet where everybody has a level of life similar to developed countries, energy need is enormous and it is not clear if we can do this by working on the supply side alone.

• Energy efficiency is important but it is not enough.• We need to consider changes in lifestyle, city

planning and social structure (transportation, lodging, grid).
