Hydrogen Production • Hydropower represents about 5 quadrillion Btu’s in 2004 • Wave energy converters utilized off of US coasts are theorized to have a potential of 9-10 times that of the current US hydropower production (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6968256/) • The total of hydropower and wave converters is therefore 55 quadrillion Btu’s • Small wind turbines could produce 6-10 trillion Btu’s(http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/solar.renewables/page/epact/caveats.html) Primary Energy Use by Fuel, 2004-2030 (quadrillion Btu)
Total energy use in 2035 - about 140 quadrillion Btu’s = 140 x 1015 Btu’s Total efficiency of electrolysis from production to usage – 50% (0.5) (hydropower + wave converters) 55 quadrillion Btu’s 55 x 1015 Btu’s (140 x 1015 Btu’s) – (0.5)(55 x 1015 Btu’s) = 112 x 1015 Btu’s remaining to be produced small wind turbines produce about10 trillion Btu’s each 10 x 1012 Btu’s (112 x 1015 Btu’s remaining to be produced) / (0.5)(10 x 1012 Btu’s) = 22,500 small wind turbines 4 turbines every square mile upon the Aleutian Islands (or even closer than that)
