saul griffith: an engineer's approach to climate. working backwards from where we want to be
DESCRIPTION
Presented at GreenNet 09 by Earth2Tech (http://events.earth2tech.com/greennet/09/).TRANSCRIPT
Put the individual in climate context.
HOW MUCH POWERDO I USE?
Energy is measured in Joules (J)
Lifting an apple from the ground to the table. ~ 1 Joule
40 apples per second from the ground to the table = 40 Watts.
Power is measured in Watts (W). 1 Watt = 1 Joule / second
Running this Apple laptop takes 40 Watts.
Power, in Watts, is like an average.The average amount of energy, in Joules, you use each second.
So now you can add all these things.Yearly things + Monthly things + Daily things = your lifestyle in watts.

If you do something yearly (like fly 105,000 miles), it contributes:
If you do something monthly (like your electricity bill), it contributes:
If you do something daily (like drink 1 Energy drink), it contributes:

Think of your life in light bulbs....
A 12,000 Watt lifestyle is 120 x 100 watt light bulbs burning permanently.

+ 0.2 x TWy + 0.15 x TWy + 0.11 x TWy
There's a known and reasonably predictable amount of carbon left to burn:
1 TWy = 1 Terawatt Year = 3.16 x 1019 Joules.
CO2 ppm = CO2 ppm
future futurecoal oil gas
1 Joule of fossil energy used produces 4.9x10-21 ppm increase.
How many ppm to replace every gasoline car in the world (1bN) with a 1000kg electric vehicle? = 0.49 ppm
How many ppm for 250 million new green homes? = 8.9 ppm
How many ppm for installing :
5TW solar = 6.1 ppm3TW wind = 0.55 ppm2TW geothermal = 0.49 ppm
So there is + 19 ppm right there. Scary.
Might be good to ask questions of form:
How many ppm for 6 bN new laptops? = 0.05 ppm6 bN cellphones? = 0.03 ppm6 bN 100 Watt lightbulbs burning for 1 year? = 0.2ppm
And we will too.
The world demands more and more energy. Where will it come from? We at Chevron
are working to provide more of it, both responsibly and effi ciently. And we’re developing
alternatives. But it’s just as important for all of us to do more with less.
We’re doing it ourselves — and enabling others. Our Chevron Energy Solutions
team is dedicated to helping others use less energy. In Colorado, we’ve
worked with the state to improve 20 state buildings. The extensive makeover
is expected to save more than $20 million over the next two decades.
It’s just one of the hundreds of projects that will help businesses and
government organizations reduce their energy costs by over $1 billion.
Join us in one of the most important efforts of our time — using less.
Will you?
