Solar, wind completely replace diesel at South Pole Station

Researchers from the Argonne National Laboratory have concluded that renewable energy could partially replace diesel fuel to power instruments and provide heat at the South Pole. They have proposed a solar, wind and energy storage hybrid that could reduce diesel consumption by 95% and save approximately $57 million over 15 years, after an initial investment of $9. 7 million. Scientists from the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have explored the feasibility of using renewable energy to power Antarctica's Amundsen-Scott ...
