Electricity in Europe

In this subproject, we will find out how electricity is produced in the 27 countries of EU. The document EuropeElectricalProduction2009 the groups fill in how electricity is produced in the countries listed for each group below. The document is a Google Docs spreadsheet similar to Microsoft Excel and open to anyone with the link. This means you must be careful when handling the document and not make changes for the countries that belong to other groups. Remember that the document is a shared document that saves all changes automatically.

Production of electricity

In the document EuropeElectricalProduction2009 the electricity production are divided into seven different parts:

• Renewables (water, wind, wood)

• Nuclear

• Petrolium

• Gas

• Solid (coal)

• Others

• Import (positiv for import, negative for export)

You should also fill in:

• Total production of electricity per countries

• Number of inhabitants in the countries

• Electricity production per person in the unit kWh/person

• Million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted per person

All figures are per year for 2009. TWh means Tera Watt hours and kWh meas kilo Watt hours (Tera=1012 and kilo=103). You will find Information about all of this in the link http://www.energy.eu/country_overview and about inhabitans in http://europa.eu/about-eu/countries/index_en.htm. Everything about energy in EU is on the link http://www.energy.eu.

Deadline

This sub-project will be completed no later than 30 March 2012. Then we have the Easter holidays in Kristinehamn and then class EC3 has training in three weeks. After that they go to Jenbach!

Groups

We work with the same groups as last time. The countrys you have to find figurs for is written together with the groups. Use Google+ for conferences with audio and video. It seems to be easier to use than Skypeon more than two participating. It is also possible to show everyone what you have on your computer. Login here https://plus.google.com.

Students of each group have to work alone to look for all the elements they need. After that, they will email to others in their group to exchange about what they found and where they found it. When they agree on each point, they will publish their datas in the online document.
