Geothermal energy is better than solar energy: IIT-H (Telangana Today) The total CO2 emissions during the lifecycle of a solar pv cell are about 3312 × 106 kg. This is far higher than a geothermal energy source, which emits about 450 g/kWh. An extensive analysis by the Indian Institute of Technology-Hyderabad (IIT-H) and researchers from Monash University, AustraliaContinue reading “Science & Technology: Paper Suggests CO2 Emissions from Geothermal Energy are Significantly Less than from Solar PV”
