Fully renewable: biogas + wind + solar

Biopact has this story: scientists of the University of Kassel in Germany prove that the entire country can be powered by renewables only. They connected biogas, wind and solar power in a distribut...

What a delight to see a whole stream of intelligent comments, with nary a climate troll in sight. Perhaps there's hope for Youtube yet.

I think its better to place all 3 system together in every chosen location. Lets say when its too cloudy for the solar cells below, the wind turbine besides it will turn because cloudy days are usually windy. As for the biomass at the same location can provide the supply slack from wind & solar. Its easier to coodinate its supply at any given location. The high tech hydro system will be the storage for night electricity combined with night wind. Please comment. TQ

wars! there will be alot of wars in the future, famine, natural disasters, unrest. noway will the population touch 9 billion, younger ppl will die more than elders as you can already see.

Lastly, the system is totally self-sufficient in terms of digestives used because all raw materials can be obtained and stored in the plant for long periods of time. Nevertheless, these are just speculations and thus far, unproven. Perhaps our only answer will be seen on the years they say 100% power is from these powerplants, say year 2200?

some speculation is that methane produced in bio-digester is carbon emit free. Other gases however are stored in different tanks to be used in their own way. How about the fertilizer? These can be used freely on farms with minimal impact in soil-microbes ration because as i have read in agri journal fertilizers from bio-digester are cleaner and less toxic than synthetic ones (high nitrogen content). Sludge is also accounted for because there is non produced in biogas plants.

I think there are a lot of flaws in the multi plant system but not so much that they cannot try and solve it. Even with the loss of energy in transit to other parts of the country the system has to operate to produce even at the least amount of energy. The question is with solar and power on a non permanent stay, can biogas serve it's total energy production for the whole nation on it's own and what effects can very large scale plant system have on the environemnt.

Nice. Wish NZ did the same?

75% renewables via hydroelectric ain't that bad. I am curious what they're going to do with excess power produced by wind turbines though. Wouldn't want a surge going through the local substation...
