At waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities, #garbage is transformed into #energy. Very few #WTE facilities have been built in the US since the mid-90s because of their high relative cost and community opposition. More from @VisualizeEnergy: spr.ly/60179c5Sd

current research indicates that corn ethanol now has 40% to 50% lower emissions compared to gasoline.

🚗 Transportation accounts for 29% of #GreenhouseGas #emissions in the US & 20% globally. Use of #biofuels could reduce such emissions — but they're a contentious subject. More on why in this week's @VisualizeEnergy data story: spr.ly/6014ZQRdo @EPA @ENERGY @IEA

More than half of the nation's ethanol is produced in Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois. Ethanol is a #renewable #biofuel, derived from corn, and used mostly in motor gasoline. In this @VisualizeEnergy data story, explore renewable fuel production across the US: spr.ly/6017ksqGz

The concentration of people who lack access to #cleancooking in low-income Africa is jarring. Cost of clean energy, lack of awareness, #genderbias, and poor accessibility are a few of the barriers.@VisualizeEnergy @cleancooking @SEforALLorg visualizingenergy.org/where-…

More than a quarter of people globally lack access to #CleanCooking facilities, relying instead on the use of solid fuels or kerosene, which contribute to household air pollution. See this week's @VisualizeEnergy data story: spr.ly/6014kJ5es @cleancooking @EnergyAlliance

💧What methods of electricity generation use the most #water? Biomass & hydro lead the pack, while wind & solar are lowest. But there’s more to consider says @VisualizeEnergy, like water for mining materials & variability in biomass feedstock production. visualizingenergy.org/what-m…

#NuclearPower has provided about 19% of US electricity since 1990 despite few new builds. One reason is impressive uprating of existing reactors. @6point626 @GoodEnergyColl @Dr_A_Stein @atomicnews @VisualizeEnergy visualizingenergy.org/what-i…
