"The International Energy Agency have light to a fascinating meme in its Energy Technology Perspectives 2024 publication, which highlighted how “one ship load of solar PV is worth more to the grid than 100 ships of coal”.
The basis of the IEA estimate was 2023 data, and since then, technological improvements have increased the effectiveness of clean energy shiploads by up to 15 per cent across different technologies.
However, the efficiency of a ship full of coal or gas remains static.
A single shipment of solar technology provides a vastly greater, cleaner, and more sustained energy return compared to the massive volume of fossil fuel consumed for power.
We calculate that a single ship load of solar PV – which can ultimately deliver 170 terawatt hours of PV once installed, is now worth 120 coal carries, or 57 LNG tankers.
We’ve updated the meme to also include the impact of heat pumps and electric vehicles."
Why are billionaires are unhappy about their trillion dollar supply chain being wrecked by solar and wind and wanting war so much...
