SunCable
In Australia , a project is underway to build the world ’ s largest solar farm , SunCable , with 150 square kilometres of solar panels .
Solar farms Back on Earth , traditional farming is under the lens for its impact on climate change - from farmers in Brazil destroying forests to make room for grazing cattle to methane emissions . But solar farms are expanding , with the solar power being traded overseas .
Despite having a net-zero goal as late as 2060 , China has put a lot of effort into renewable energy . So far , the country has built several vast solar farms in unique shapes , including a panda and a horse .
Meanwhile , in Australia , a project is underway to build the world ’ s largest solar farm , SunCable , with 150 square kilometres of
SunCable , the world ’ s largest solar farm ,
could cover
20 %
of Singapore ’ s energy requirements solar panels in the Northern Territory . Most of this energy will be exported to Singapore via a cable running across the ocean floor , but a portion will be used to power homes in Australia .
Floating Solar Farms Although the SunCable solar farm could cover 20 % of Singapore ’ s energy requirements , the island is so densely packed there is no real opportunity for hydro or wind power to be implemented . The country is threatened by rising sea levels and has an ingenuitive answer : solar farms on water . The floating solar farms are being installed in the Johor Strait , between Singapore and Malaysia . sustainabilitymag . com 61
