Cheap Clean Energy
Cheap clean energy generation options meet the criteria of minimal harmful emissions, efficient land use, high reliability, and long-term cost-effectiveness and include 3 options as follows:
Option 1 – Natural Gas-Fired Power Stations.
Natural (Methane or Bio) gas-fired power plants produce electricity by burning natural gas, which emits lower levels of greenhouse gases and air pollutants compared to coal.
Modern combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants have high efficiencies and can operate continuously, providing reliable baseload power.
While initial capital costs are moderate, governments have the ability to assist Gas Companies with keeping the costs of producing methane gas down and ensuring minimal fuel cost fluctuations and ensuring long-term affordability.
Option 2 – Nuclear Power Stations.
Nuclear power plants generate electricity through nuclear fission, a process that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions during operation.
Modern nuclear reactors have a lifespan of 60-80 years and can provide reliable baseload power 24/7.
Initial construction costs are substantial but operating costs are relatively low, and nuclear fuel is inexpensive, ensuring long-term affordability. Nuclear power plants have a small land footprint but require robust safety measures, all of which in this modern era is exceptionally well managed.
Option 3 – Ultra-Supercritical Coal-Fired Power Stations.
Ultra-supercritical coal-fired power plants operate at higher temperatures and pressures, achieving higher efficiencies and lower emissions compared to conventional coal plants.
These power generation plants have a lifespan of 30-40 years and can provide consistent baseload power.
They produce vastly reduced greenhouse gas emissions but require significant upfront investments.
The latest technology with High Efficiency Low Emissions (HELE) Coal Fired Power Stations might have relatively high upfront capital costs but they can provide reliable, low-cost electricity with acceptable (for now) emissions over an operational lifetime of well over 20 years.
