Renewable energy in Antarctica
The awareness for renewable energy supply and the avoidance of CO 2 emissions at the Antarctic research stations is growing. Some energy concepts with renewable technologies have already been implemented and many stations want to convert their energy supply from fossil combustion engines to green technologies.

Running on Renewable Energies
The energy-producing solutions implemented at the Princess Elisabeth Station are incredibly efficient, so much so that solutions had to be foreseen for storage of any excess energy. A room full of classic lead-acid batteries enables the station to store energy for times when demands exceeds the current energy production.

What makes Antarctica a good place to store energy?
A room full of classic lead-acid batteries enables the station to store energy for times when demands exceeds the current energy production. While the renewable energy systems that power the station are reliable and continuously checked, even in the harsh conditions of Antarctica, two generators were installed for security and backup.
Why is energy security important in Antarctica?
Energy security is vital for research stations in the Antarctic. Energy is required to support essential needs, such as heating, fresh-water supply, and electricity, which are critical for survival under harsh environmental conditions .
What is a hybrid energy system in Antarctica?
Many national Antarctic programmes (NAPs) have adopted hybrid systems combining fossil fuels and renewable energy sources, with a preference for solar or wind depending on the specific location of the research station and previous experiences with certain technologies.
Are Antarctica's research stations using wind to generate electricity?
Wind-energy use is becoming increasingly prevalent at Antarctica’s research stations. The present study identified more than ten research stations that have been using wind to generate electricity. The installed wind capacity, as identified by the study, is nearly 1500 kW of installed capacity.
Can natural energy fuel Antarctica?
Harnessing natural energies can fuel our Antarctic stations and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Moon over the Mawson wind turbine. Photo: Warren Arnold Transporting fuel and oil to Antarctica is a costly and sometimes risky exercise.
What is the energy demand in Antarctica during winter?
Overall, it can be seen that during the Antarctic winter the energy demand is highest, even when the population of a station is the lowest. The energy demand for Jang Bogo Station and King Sejong Station is shown in Figure 4 as primary fuel demand. Figure 4.
