THE TRUTH of Low Carbon Emissions When the electricity bill lands at the house of the future, the envelope could well contain a nice surprise. Rather than showing just how much the family owes, it may well contain a cheque to pay for the power it has generated for the national grid!    The government's recently published energy and planning white papers combine to sketch a rosy future for householders generating small amounts of electricity on-site, which is then used to power a home's Lighting, Heating and electrical appliances. 技術士試験　試験に出る　カーボンニュートラル generated could be exported back again to the grid.    The power white paper 'Meeting the Energy Challenge' ushers in a potentially bright future for electricity with detailed proposals pointing to how electric heating and warm water will be integral to reducing carbon emissions and improving energy security.    To meet the government's target of reducing carbon emissions by 60% by 2050 (predicated on 1990 levels) requires a radical shift in energy policy, especially as power stations in the united kingdom are responsible for generating over half of them.    技術士二次試験　必須問題　カーボンニュートラル is given sustained emphasis by the fact that by 2020, 80% of the UK's gas requirements should be imported and over half the world's gas reserves are concentrated in just three countries, Russia, Iran and Qatar.    The white paper pushes for investment in increasingly low carbon electricity, principally large-scale renewables, clean coal and nuclear power.    Illustration of a 'greener' home    Microgeneration    ...by 2016 new build will undoubtedly be zero carbon - achieved by a variety of improved air-tightness and thermal efficiency alongside the usage of microgeneration technologies...  This is utilised by low carbon homes - by 2016 new build will be zero carbon - attained by a combination of improved air-tightness and thermal efficiency alongside the use of microgeneration technologies such as for example solar panels, wind turbines, biomass boilers and heat pumps as well as heat recovery ventilation systems.    Solar panels or photovoltaic cells are accustomed to generate power from the sun and changes to the planning rules, due autumn 2007, mean that these should be easier to install. In line with the white paper, only 1 1,300 eco-pioneers have installed panels on their homes while solar water heaters are a lot more widespread - the Department of Trade and Industry estimates you can find about 80,000 in use - as they are much cheaper to set up.    Mini wind turbines also have taken off in recent years, with an increase of than 20,000 used by householders or small businesses around the UK. They are only viable in a few areas where average wind speeds are high enough and there is little wind turbulence from neighbouring buildings.    Ground and air source heat pumps are also set to see a massive growth popular as on average for every 1 kW of electricity they consume they produce around 2-3 3 kW of heat.    Generating electricity locally avoids transmission losses and enables waste heat to be exploited for both heating and cooling. This applies as equally to commercial developments up to individual homes.    In London, where 75% of the city's carbon emissions result from buildings, the London Climate Change Agency, which is championed by god, the father Mayor's office, is encouraging the growth of mixed-use developments which lend themselves to CHP (combined heat and power) systems, with residential and commercial property providing a balanced demand for energy around the clock.
