Energy and the ecological rucksack

How much nature (excluding water and air)

does the production of one megawatt hour

(1million watts) of electricity?

Brown coal generation plant 11015 kg

Heavy oil generation plant 652 kg

Gas and steam generation plant 234 kg

Flowing water generation plant 120 kg

Small-scale wind generation plant 66 kg

Decentralised power plants based on

renewable resources are extremely nature-

extensive. They do, however, require a lot of

space. Are off-shore wind generation plants

the solution?

FRAMEWORK 1: DEmaterialisation

The recycling fairy tale

A model equation. 100 aluminium

cans are sold, drank, collected

and then recycled within three

weeks.Based on a recycling

quota of 50 percent it will take

less than half a year before all of

the aluminium is lost.

Based on a recycling quota of 75

percent it will at least take a year.

And based on a dream quota of

90 percent total loss will take

place after two years.Not even a

deposit on cans will help.
