Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The global share of electricity from renewables in 2010 was 20%, with over 70% of electricity provided by hydropower and the rest produced using wind, solar, biomass and waste-to-power, geothermal, marine and small hydro technologies.

    “The global share of electricity from renewables in 2010 was 20%, with over 70% of electricity provided by hydropower and the rest was produced using wind, solar, biomass and waste-topower, geothermal, marine and small hydro technologies.”
  • Short-rotation energy crops currently provide about 3-4% of the total biomass resource consumed annually.

    “Shortrotation energy crops, grown on agricultural land specifically for energy purposes, currently provide about 3-4% of the total biomass resource consumed annually [58].”
  • Useful heat energy from modern renewable sources accounted for an estimated 4.1% of total final energy use; hydropower made up about 3.7%; and an estimated 1.9% was provided by power from wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass, and by biofuels.

  • Energy consumption is still increasing rapidly, with an approximate 540 EJ consumed at the primary energy level in 2010.

    “Energy consumption is still increasing rapidly, with an approximate 540 EJ consumed at the primary energy level in 2010 [58].”
  • Biomass accounts for about 10% of global primary energy supply (54 EJ in 2010) and is the world's fourth largest source of energy (following oil, coal, and natural gas).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
