What are the cons of using microhydro power? Are there any co2 emissions? Also, are there a lot of co2 emissions from electricity produced from a dam? For...
Good question someone, I wish there was a name to reply to. I don't believe there are any CO2 emissions from using micro-hydro or large scale hydro. There is...
Not only is CO2 released in the making of the metal parts, CO2 is released from the manufacture, pouring and placing of concrete. Further, any wooden structure...
How can we make micro hydropower more sustainable? The cost is increasing. The rural people are poor. Any idea of new end uses that can drastically change the...
By my calculations, each kW of hydro (or wind, or PV) saves 8 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year compared with a diesel generator, a bit more than that if...
