Leading wind energy industry executives called on Congress this week to pass a strong national Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) as the best way to save and create U.S. jobs. “We need to drive demand in a stable, predictable way,” said Vic Abate, Vice President for Renewables, GE Energy, the largest supplier of wind turbines in the U.S. [...] The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is supporting the construction and operation of a coal-fired integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the first such plant in a developing nation. The ADB Board of Directors today approved a $135 million loan to build a 250-megawatt IGCC plant in Tianjin City [...] There was a time the US where the idea of expanding use of Nuclear energy was so politically unpopular that very few leaders would suggest it for fear of being attached by environmental groups. Fear of disasters from very real accidents such as Three Mile Island and Chernobyl remained fresh in everyone’s mind. Now as [...] The University of Maryland has received a $10.3 million federal grant to build an advanced physics lab. Rep. Steny H. Hoyer, a Southern Maryland Democrat, said the federal economic stimulus dollars will expand research and create jobs. The university plans to use the money to build a 21,000-square-foot Laboratory for Advanced Quantum Science. The underground [...] The 3rd Annual Waste-to-Fuels Conference & Trade Show will be conducted at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront, in Jacksonville, Florida on April 18-20, 2010. The Waste-to-Fuels Conference & Trade Show will provide a forum for informing the public and private sectors of the economic and environmental benefits of converting waste materials to alternative fuels such as [...] The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) will invest up to $12 million in total funding—$10 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act—in four companies to support the development of early stage solar energy technologies and help them advance to full commercial scale. The goal of this effort is to help further expand a clean [...] Seal Beach, CA – Amonix Inc., the leading manufacturer of utility scale high concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) systems, today announces the expansion of its Seal Beach manufacturing capacity. The announcement coincides with an end-of-October celebration of the company’s 20 years of developing, manufacturing and deploying its technology. Amonix now has 30MW of annual manufacturing capacity. The automated [...] The Seoul city government will start constructing a hydrogen-fired power plant in World Cup Park in Seoul next May. The 2.4 mega watt facility will generate electricity with hydrogen extracted from oil and gas. Such a method is considered environmentally friendly for emitting no sulfur oxide and other harmful chemicals. Farm Power, a Skagit County renewable energy company, and Puget Sound Energy, Washington’s oldest local utility, have announced the entry into service of the state’s newest source of clean, sustainable power: an anaerobic dairy digester that transforms cow manure into both a source of electricity and a source of economic vitality for the region’s agricultural community. The dairy digester is capable of producing up to 750 kilowatts of electricity – or approximately the energy needed to power 500 homes – and will provide electricity to PSE’s Green Power Program. The U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Energy today announced projects selected for more than $24 million in grants to research and develop technologies to produce biofuels, bioenergy and high-value biobased products. Of the $24.4 million announced today, DOE plans to invest up to $4.9 million with USDA contributing up to $19.5 million. Advanced biofuels produced [...] |
