Through the electricity from power stations are not necessarily completely to use place.
Because factors such as distribution cable resistance, part of the heat will be lost. Japan said, generally about 5% of the transmission losses.
Superconducting technology using superconducting cable, because the resistance is zero, transmission losses is expected to be greatly reduced.
Assume that all the superconducting cable transmission by copper replacement said, transmission losses are expected to drop to 2%. According to statistics, by 2050, about 4000 km of copper displacement into superconducting cable, transmission losses are expected to reduce about 3.1 billion kilowatts.
The equivalent of 2.6 million people a year of power usage. For electricity generation is expected to reduce 1.06 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
