Energy production technologies

Main fluoromaterial applications for the established energy production technologies, PV and wind mill, are listed in Table 17.2. In the following table, only the usage of fluoropolymers in PV will be discussed.

The ethylene-based, balanced vinyl chloride process, which accounts for nearly all capacity worldwide, has been practiced by a variety of vinyl chloride producers since the mid-1950s. The technology is mature, so that the probabiUty of significant changes is low. New developments in production technology will likely be based on incremental improvements in raw material and energy efficiency, environmental impact, safety, and process reUabiUty. 

In the United States, where clean and convenient natural gas, propane, and electricity are widely available and affordable, biomass use has limited potential. Nevenheless, U.S. biomass energy production has been increasing because of technological advances for new and improved biomass applications for electricity generation, gasification, and liquid fuels. 

Since the 1970s, technological advances have solved many environmental problems associated with energy production and consumption, and proven that more energy consumption does not necessarily mean more pollution. The fossil fuel industries are producing and distributing more energy less expensive-...
