6 FAQs about [Greenland smart energy building]

Can a new house improve indoor air quality in Greenland?

Significant energy savings and improvements of indoor air quality were found in the new house when compared to the traditional one. Moreover, all the extra measures have a feasible payback time despite high prices of labor and transportation to Greenland. Procedia Engineering 146 ( 2016 ) 166 â€“ 173 1877-7058 Â© 2016 The Authors.

Does Greenland have a future for renewables?

Although Greenland has made great strides in installing renewables, these changes have so far mostly benefited larger communities in the south of the country. Making cheap, accessible renewables work in Qaanaaq has the potential to “be good not only for this community, but for all Arctic areas”, however remote, Oshima says.

Should Greenland invest in solar energy?

Even without a change in the one-price model, government investment in solar energy for communities around Greenland will lower Nukissiorfiit’s dependence on fossil fuel which would help to reduce the associated large ongoing deficits incurred by Nukissiorfiit . Table 8. Annual cost savings in USD/ Year for Solar–BES–diesel hybrid scenarios.

Will improvements in foundation design reduce electricity costs in Greenland?

However, in the future, if improvements in foundation design can be made, the improvements may significantly increase the FLH and thus may offer lower electricity costs. FLH of wind power on all area of Greenland is 5665 h, or 26% higher than on ice-free only area.

Is Greenland a good place for offshore wind power?

However, a study on wind and wave power potential on 22 islands has found Greenland to be one of the best sites for offshore wind power with 4555–5450 full load hours (FLH) in addition to good conditions for wave power with 1050–4000 FLH . Satymov et al. found 5000–6000 FLH in the south of Greenland for an improved wave energy converter.

Is Greenland a potential E-Fuels hub?

Greenland's transition from a fossil fuels-based system to a 100% renewable energy system between 2019 and 2050 and its position as a potential e-fuels and e-chemicals production hub for Europe, Japan, and South Korea, has been investigated in this study using the EnergyPLAN model.
