Solar Panels Are More Carbon-Intensive Than Experts Admit

Environmental Progress

But, as we’ll see below, a new investigation led by a Mr Enrico Mariutti suggests that the number is closer to between 600 and 1200 gCO2/kWh, depending on the energy mix used to power PV production. Basic reasoning suggests the manufacturing shift must have added to solar’s carbon intensity. To compare, the IEA scores solar between 0.5

How Much Land Would it Require to Get Most of Our Electricity from Wind and Solar?

Union of Concerned Scientists

A recent National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) study shows that it would take less than 1 percent of the land in the Lower 48—that’s an area comparable to or even smaller than the fossil fuel industry’s current footprint. Fortunately, the answer is relatively little. See more on these issues in these recent UCS blogs ).
