Building renewables emits carbon, but building them faster emits far less

A new study by Columbia University's Climate School looks at the carbon emissions needed to build renewable energy.From pv magazine USA The construction of clean energy components produces carbon emissions. New research by Columbia University Climate School's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory looks at just how much carbon the world could emit as it mines, manufactures, transports, constructs, and maintains solar and wind resources. The report shows that emissions related to the energy transition are non-negligible, but there is a positive feedback loop in which the faster we build, the less emissions ...
