Calculation of the carbon footprint of industrial hybrid solar - Wind turbines

Abstract

Ensuring stable access for both the world's population and various industries with clean energy from renewable sources is one of the most important problems that society will have to solve in the 21st century. The resource base of the energy sector, on which all the economic activities of mankind are based, is exhaustible in the foreseeable future. In this regard, the issues of energy conservation, development and implementation of alternative energy systems from renewable energy sources are becoming one of the most urgent. The article discusses the impact of the food industry on the sustainability of ecological systems, provides a detailed review of methods for calculating the carbon footprint of goods and services, provides data on comparing the accuracy between methods, calculates the carbon footprint of a hybrid solar-wind turbine of a given power.
