| Using biogas alone has an energy conversion efficiency (the proportion of energy produced to that consumed) of about 10% or less, according to Solid Waste Conversion: A Review and Database of Current and Emerging Technologies, a 2003 report by the University of California, Davis, Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering. Kyocera currently holds the world record for energy conversion efficiency in 15x15cm polycrystalline silicon solar cells, at 18. McGehee says most crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells have an energy conversion efficiency of 12% and a cost per square meter of $300. |
