“EVERY MINUTE THE SOLAR ENERGY REACHING THE EARTH’S SURFACE GENERATES ENERGY SUFFICIENT FOR THE NEEDS OF HUMANITY FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR.”
WHAT IS BISNODE ELECTRICITY INDEX The purpose of the Bisnode Electricity Index is to show the level of development of the Bisnode countries. In the use of renewable energy, volume of environmentally acceptable electric cars and price acceptability of cleaner energies compared to harmful fossil fuels. The base index 100 was obtained from the average of Bisnode countries, wherefore countries with the index exceeding 100 have above-average development of the use of environmentally acceptable energy sources compared to the average of 17 Bisnode countries. In addition, mutual comparison between two countries suggests that the country with a higher index has a higher development of the use of clean energy.

“POTENTIAL FOR THE VOLUME OF ENERGY GENERATION AND CONSUMPTION IS ENDLESS, LIKE THE UNIVERSE. WE ARE NOT CERTAIN ABOUT THE LATTER.”
FOR A SHUTTLE LAUNCH... WE NEED
3.567.000 KWH of electricity
=
165 YEARS of EU household power consumption
FOR JUST ONE SHUTTLE LAUNCH
1086 wind turbines must to work for a whole year *One average wind turbine with a rated capacity of 1,5 megawatts and average capacity factor of 25% can produce 3.285 kwh per year.
FOR JUST ONE SHUTTLE LAUNCH WE NEED
6.705 solar panels in Hvar, Croatia or... 10.191 solar panels installed in Stockholm Stockholm * One average solar panel, for every hour of full sun and for one square meter, could produce approximately 70 kWh per year. Croatian island Hvar has in average 7,6 hours of full sun through year. This means that one solar panel could produce approximately 532 kWh per year. In Stockholm, with 5 hours of full sun in average, one solar panel would produce 350 kWh per year.
Hvar
FOR ENERGY SUPPLY OF EU CITIZENS In average, 15.4 square meters of Solar panels could produce enough electricity for one EU resident
7.700 km of Solar panels is necessary 2
EU has around 500 million inhabitants
It is 3 times the size of the Luxembourg or 1.7% of Sweden
