- Russia send about 2.5M barrels of oil to Europe per day.
- Barrel is 42 gal.
- About 30 of that turns into fuel.
- 1 gal contains an enthalpy of 200 MJ or about 55 kwhr
- 30 gal of a barrel means 1.6Mwhr.
- Turned to electric at 20%, that is about 10kWhr electric.
- One small PV panel manufacture produces 5MW of panels per year (about 15k panels/yr or about 50 panels per day (15kw/day). This plant costs $4M in India.
- How many barrels of oil electric equivalent does this replace? 5MW*2000hr=10GWhr every year - or about 6000 barrels of oil evey year.
- Daily suck of Russian oil by Europe is 400k cu m. This is a cubic volume about 70 m on each side.
- 250k of such PV operations would need to be created to replace Russian oil.
