Small Wind Turbines Could Help To Curb Carbon Dioxide Emissions In U.k., Study Says

摘要

London-The use of small wind turbines in the United Kingdom could lead to a savings of 0.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year as well as provide up to 1.5 terawatt hours a year of electricity, 0.4 percent of the country's total electricity consumption, according to a study issued Aug.7. The forecast is based on 10 percent of U.K.households installing turbines at costs competitive with grid electricity, which is currently about 12 pence (12 cents) per kilowatt hour (kWh), according to the study compiled by the government-funded Carbon Trust.
