The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has introduced a new tool designed to help developers and operators of closed-loop pumped storage hydropower (PSH) facilities estimate the greenhouse gas emissions generated over the lifetime of these projects. This tool, the Pumped Storage Hydropower Life Cycle Assessment, provides a way for users to assess emissions from the construction and operation of PSH systems. These emissions can arise from factors such as the use of diesel-powered construction equipment, materials like concrete and steel, and the electricity mix used to power the system. The new tool allows users to input site-specific details such as reservoir volume, dam dimensions, turbine capacity, and transmission line length. The goal is to help developers identify configurations that minimize emissions. Users can compare different scenarios and view emissions breakdowns by component, material, and life cycle phase.

#RENEWAT Policy Instruments - CROATIA 🌿 The Municipality of Martijanec aims to revitalize a historic watermill in Hrastovljan, transforming it into a renewable energy source. This project supports the goals outlined in the Municipality’s Development Strategy and will serve as a model for similar renewable energy initiatives. 🎯 The Municipality’s Development Strategy emphasises the importance of renewable energy, but lacks a focus on repurposing existing infrastructure for modern energy solutions. Martijanec Municipality will bring together experts and representatives to discuss the potential of watermills, and will collaborate with regional authorities to integrate this initiative into local and regional energy strategies. 👉 Discover more on the infographic below and on our project website: https://lnkd.in/dsPHZbS6 #renewat #greenereurope #watermills #InterregEurope #renewableenergies #policyinstruments
