The climate emergency in Latin America and the Caribbean The path ahead – resignation or action?

This book presents the results of more than a decade of work carried out by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) on the economics of climate change. It analyses the conclusive global data and the impact of climate change in the region, examining sectors such as agriculture, health, transport and energy. In particular, it addresses the effects of climate change on the two most vulnerable subregions, Central America and the Caribbean, and gives an account of the agreements reached in the region to tackle the problem of global warming. The book discusses the advances made in...

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Geothermal Power Production

Geothermal power production may result in significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. GHG emissions from geothermal power production, mostly in the form of CO2, are generally low in comparison to traditional base load thermal energy power generation. However, as the geothermal sector has expanded, a wider range of geothermal resources have been brought into exploitation, including geothermal systems with relatively high GHG concentrations in the reservoir fluid. Recent data from Italy (Mt. Amiata) and a number of sites in Turkey show that GHG emissions from geothermal power plants can be higher than 500 g/kWh and in some cases higher than 1000...

Demystifying the Costs of Electricity Generation Technologies

The levelized cost of electricity is the most common indicator used to compare the cost competitiveness of electricity-generating technologies. Several studies claim that some renewable energy technologies, particularly utility-scale solar photovoltaic and onshore wind, are cost-competitive with fossil fuel–based technologies. However, there is no consensus on this point considering the wide variations in factors that influence the levelized costs of electricity across countries and technologies. This study calculates more than 4,000 levelized costs of electricity for 11 technologies, varying key input variables. The study shows that the levelized costs of electricity for renewable electricity technologies, except concentrated solar and offshore...

Energy Storage Partnership (ESP) - Fact Sheet

Energy transitions are underway in many countries, with a significant global increase in the use of wind and solar power playing a key role. To integrate renewable resources into grids, energy storage will be key. Storage will allow for the increased use of wind and solar power, which can not only increase access to power in developing countries, but also increase the resilience of energy systems. Energy storage solutions can also improve grid reliability, stability, and power quality which are essential to promoting the productive uses of energy. This brief on energy storage partnership focuses on its performance as of...
