Surface yield with the power productionThis fermentation gas plant is a big step forward, but also the proof of the fact that we must equip all our houses with complete photovoltaic roofs.
The fermentation gas plant brings 4 times so much electricity than one would cultivate on the same agricultural surface with oil plants, win biodiesel and to use this in a diesel engine for the electricity production. But this is still not enough for the energy demand of an industrial state. If one needs more energy, more and more expensive sources must be disclosed. Water on a big river and a run power station, this is the cheapest way to produce electricity. Photovoltaic is the most expensive. If Germany would be an agrar state with 8 million inhabitants, this fermentation gas plant would be together with water power the solution for all energy problems, expensive photovoltaic superfluously. But Germany is an industrial state with 80 million inhabitants. The energy from biomass is a valuable addition in the energy mix, but because of the surface needed, the greatest part of the energy supply must come by photovoltaic heat combination on all our roof surfaces. |
