Abstract

Through literature review and data calculation, this study summarizes the implied carbon of renewable energy technologies such as solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, and air energy utilization, and evaluates common renewable energy technologies through two indicators of carbon emissions per unit of energy savings and cost increment per unit of energy savings.

Key words

renewable energy / energy conservation / carbon footprint / cost effectiveness / energy utilization / energy dissipation
