The ability of renewable resources to provide all of society's energy needs is shown by using the United States as an example. Various renewable systems are presented, and the issues of energy payback, carbon dioxide abatement, and energy storage are addressed. Pathways for renewable hydrogen generation are shown, and the implementation of hydrogen technologies into the energy infrastructure is presented. The question is asked, Should money and energy be spent on carbon dioxide sequestration, or should renewable resources be implemented instead.
以美国为例说明了可再生资源满足社会所有能源需求的能力。介绍了各种可再生系统,并探讨了能源回报、二氧化碳减排和能量存储等问题。展示了可再生氢的生产途径,并介绍了将氢技术应用于能源基础设施的情况。提出了这样一个问题:是应该把资金和能源花在二氧化碳封存上,还是应该转而采用可再生资源。
