Division of Environmental Permits. Albany, NY. Phone: 518-402-9167. [email protected]. SEQR requires all local, regional, and state government agencies to equally examine the environmental impacts along with the social and economic considerations for a certain project, or action, during their discretionary review.
In this study, the social impact of the PPVA program is calculated by the judgment matrix. Five judgment matrices including comparison matrix of primary indicators and 4 comparison matrices of sub-index are constructed in this study. The values obtained from each judgment matrix are shown in Table 8 below. Table 8.
Introduction. Solar power is the fastest-growing source of electricity in the world. Between 2010 and the time of our writing, more solar capacity was installed than in the preceding four decades combined. 1 At the end of 2016, the total capacity stood at 307 GW, the vast majority of which comprises photovoltaics (PV). 2 After a long period of

Key stages in the Environmental Assessment process include: screening, alternatives, preliminary assessment, scoping, mitigation, main EIA study and environmental impact statement, review and monitoring (Box 5.1 and Figure 5.1). These need to be managed so that they provide information to
Overall, clean energy is considered better for the environment than traditional fossil-fuel–based resources, generally resulting in less air and water pollution than combustible fuels, such as coal, natural gas, and petroleum oil. Power generated by renewable sources, such as wind, water, and sunlight, does not produce harmful carbon dioxide
Abstract. In the past decade, approximately 17 % of the world''s photovoltaic capacity has been installed in China, especially in the northwestern desert areas. The impacts of the construction and operation of large-scale photovoltaic power plants (PPPs) on local ecological environments have become urgent scientific issues in

2.1 Solar photovoltaic systems. Solar energy is used in two different ways: one through the solar thermal route using solar collectors, heaters, dryers, etc., and the other through the solar electricity route using SPV, as shown in Fig. 1.A SPV system consists of arrays and combinations of PV panels, a charge controller for direct current
The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage). Thermal energy storage systems can be as simple as hot-water tanks, but more advanced technologies can store energy more densely (e.g., molten salts
Dihydrogen (H2), commonly named ''hydrogen'', is increasingly recognised as a clean and reliable energy vector for decarbonisation and defossilisation by various sectors. The global hydrogen demand is projected to increase from 70 million tonnes in 2019 to 120 million tonnes by 2024. Hydrogen development should also meet the seventh goal of ''affordable
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a critical examination of the effects of a project on the environment. An EIA identifies both negative and positive impacts of any development activity or project, how it affects people, their property and the environment. EIA also identifies measures to mitigate the negative impacts, while maximizing on

Electrical Energy Storage (EES) refers to a process of converting electrical energy into a form that can be stored for converting back to electrical energy when required. The conjunction of PV systems with battery storage can maximize the level of self-consumed PV electricity. With a battery system, the excess PV electricity during

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is . a type of energy storage that uses the pumping and release of water between two reservoirs at different elevations to store water and generate electricity (Figure ES-1). When demand for electricity is low, a PSH project can use low cost energy to pump water from the lower
