RE: How to Produce Green Hydrogen for $1/kg18 Aug 2023 09:52
Gaz,
You might have read that in the Daily Fail or Torygraph...
"If the whole UK was powered by renewables, solar would only use 2.1% of land
That’s only slightly more than is currently used for golf courses and other recreational activities
Our solar farms deliver a triple land use, supporting biodiversity and food production as well as generating clean electricity and reducing carbon.
We often hear people say they worry about the loss of agricultural land to solar farms. But even if we were to power the UK using only renewable energy and green hydrogen, we would only need around 2.1% of the UK’s total landmass for solar power. Compared to the 71.7% of land currently used for agricultural purposes, it is remarkably small."
