Renewable Energy to Power New Antarctic Research Station
The International Polar Foundation (IPF) unveiled the final plans for Belgium's Princess Elisabeth Antarctic research station, to be built during the International Polar Year 2007-08 (IPY). The station will enable Belgium, and other nations participating in its science program, to carry on research on climate change and Antarctica's key role as part of the global climate system. And fittingly, the structure will be powered almost entirely through a combination of renewable energy technologies including wind, solar thermal, and solar photovoltaic.Posted by dymaxion at June 13, 2006 10:24 PM
