Many analysts, even the CEO of Shell oil, expect that renewable energy, largely from wind turbines and solar panels, will make up roughly 75% of all energy production. Filling the remaining 25% gap is the focus of much discussion. Some believe that large battery installations can provide electricity on demand to fill up to 15% of this gap. What about the remaining 10%?
The topic of this term paper is: Can power generated from two currently wasted and utterly unavoidable potential energy sources provide the missing 10%, or even more?
Specifically focus on the following two unavoidable potential sources of energy:
First, methane generated from human sewage, an unavoidable source of ocean destroying pollution.
Second, methane leaking out of abandoned coal mines, and abandoned oil wells.
These are sources of pollution and fossil fuel that we are stuck with no matter how much we change our behavior to try to be socially responsible and environmentally friendly.
