  • Getting to Carbon Neutral: a Guide for Canadian Municipalities
    GETTING TO CARBON NEUTRAL: a Guide for Canadian Municipalities Getting to Carbon Neutral: A Guide for Canadian Municipalities Produced for Toronto and Region Conservation by Sustainable Infrastructure Group University of Toronto Contact: Christopher Kennedy Department of Civil Engineering, University of Toronto, 35 St. George Street, Toronto, Ontario M5S 1A4 E-mail: [email protected] Telephone: 416-978-5978 GETTING TO CARBON NEUTRAL 2010 Summary CONTEXT Climate change is emerging as the defining challenge of a generation. The scientific evidence that some measure of climate change is anthropogenically induced is overwhelming; greenhouse gas emissions from human activities have risen sharply as population expands and people become increasingly wealthy, and therefore able to consume resources at a faster rate. It is a global issue, both severe and indiscriminate in its impacts, but as daunting a challenge as it may be, addressing climate change offers a focal point for global collaboration and innovation. Furthermore, a significant proportion of the scientific community posits that with decisive action, mitigation is still a viable component of a global response to the threats posed by climate change. The window of opportunity to take action against rising emissions is shrinking. Achieving carbon reduction targets within the necessary timeframe will require coordinated efforts from all levels of government, corporations and individuals. With more than half of the world’s human population living in urban areas, the concentration of financial and human capital positions municipalities particularly well to be successful at contributing significantly to global emission reductions. This report strives to provide Canadian municipalities with a menu of options for greenhouse gas emission reductions, allowing a city to choose the combination of actions that are both feasible and most strategic for their specific circumstances.

ABSTRACT The utility solar power plants were reviewed and classified by two basic groups: direct thermal concentrating solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV). CSP as Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) of 100 MW solar power plants (SPP) is suggested and suitable to provide solar thermal power for Qatar. Although, LFC had enough experience for small pro- jects, it is still need to work in large scale plant such as 100 MW and couple with multi effect distillation (MED) to con- firm costs. Keywords: Concentrated Solar Power; Linear Fresnel Collector; Desalination 1. Introduction well with the peak load demand due to air conditioning loads during summer, as this depends on solar insolation HH the Amir of Qatar declared at the end of COP 18 in along the day. The SPPs are increasingly moving into the Dec. 2012 that: By 2020, solar energy should generate at range which has traditionally been the domain of classic least 2% of Electric Power (EP) produced in the country.

Abstract Solar thermal concentrating solar power (CSP) plants, because of their capacity for large‐ scale generation of electricity and the possible integration of thermal storage devices and hybridization with backup fossil fuels, are meant to supply a significant part of the demand in countries of the solar belt. Nowadays, the market penetration of solar thermal electricity is steeply increasing, with commercial projects in Spain, USA, and other countries, being the most promising technology to follow the pathway of wind and photovoltaics to reach the goals for renewable energy implementation in 2020 and 2050. In the first commercial projects involving parabolic‐trough technology, some improvements are being introduced like the use of large molten‐salt heat storage systems able to provide high degrees of dispatchability to the operation of the plant, like the plants Andasol in Guadix, Spain, with 7.5 h of nominal storage, or the use of direct steam generation loops to replace thermal oil at the solar field. In the near future, the research and innovation being conducted within the field of linear Fresnel collectors may lead to high temperature systems able to operate up to 500°C and produce cost‐effective superheated steam.

What is happening in the renewable energy world across the world. After finishing the oil, gas and coal solar PV will provide electricity enormously. To keep it in mind it has been studied the use of SPV (Solar Photovoltaic) across the world. It is found the use of SPV in the both developing and developed country across the world. It is also found the use of SPV electricity in the poor and under developed country across the glove. In this study it is also found the use of solar home system (SHS), Solar grid connected SPV and solar building integrated system across the globe. The use of floating PV has also been studied across the world. The present installed capacity of SPV in different countries has also been studied. The mission and vision of different countries regarding SPV electricity has also been studied. This work will help the further use of SPV electricity across the globe. Key words: Solar Photovoltaic, Globe, Solar Home System, Grid connected SPV, Building Integrated SPV, Inverter.
