PROJECT EASY GREEN

The findings do not in and of themselves impose any emission reduction requirements but rather allow EPA to finalize the GHG standards proposed earlier this year for new light-duty vehicles as part of the joint rulemaking with the Department of Transportation.

The 70 REpower MM92 turbines, each with a rated capacity of 2.05 MW, are slated for delivery in 2011

Economics and public relations may lead fleet truck operators to electric drive before individual drivers.

“The Consortium expects that wireless power receivers will be integrated into a significant percentage of all battery-powered mobile devices and into the batteries themselves. What USB is for wired connectivity, Qi will become for wireless power,” said Camille Tang, President, ConvenientPower Limited and Co-Chair, Wireless Power Consortium, Promotion Work Group.

The high efficiency of Energy Recovery’s PX devices increase the energy output and reduce the energy consumed during the osmotic power generation process to ensure the net-positive production of electricity.

The tree is the most energy efficient tree in our history–consuming only 6000 watts of energy, compared to 18,000 watts on last year’s tree and an average of 40,000 watts on National Trees in the traditional, all-incandescent light era.

Solar thermal hybrid applications have the potential to be an important, low-cost option for adding solar power to the generation fleet, allowing utilities to meet renewable energy regulatory targets, reduce plant emissions, and lower fuel costs.

With an investment of $5 million over five years, Lockheed Martin has become a Sustaining Member of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI), supporting a portfolio of diverse, high-impact energy research projects and education at the Institute.

— Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL), through its Orcelle Fund, seeks green transport inventors with new ideas to financially support.
— Kansas City Power & Light Company (KCP&L) has issued requests for proposals (RFP’s) to add up to 300 MW of additional emissions-free, renewable wind generation in the 2010 – 2011 timeframe.

Not all Americans are believers in global warming. There’s a reason that not all Americans are convinced. They’ve been poorly educated on the subject for years.

The installation of the solar plant came with the help of the Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH (dena) – the German Energy Agency – within the framework of the dena Solar Roofs Programme for Foreign Market Development with support of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi).

The 500 MW project is expected to be developed in multiple 100+ megawatt phases over the next 5 to 8 years.

The new energy-efficient surface-emitting panel is especially suited to premium applications in architecture, hotels and catering, offices, private homes and shops.

Named the CPV Piney Reach Solar Farm, the planned facility will begin permitting immediately and is expected to be in service by 2012. The solar photovoltaic project is the largest of its kind announced in the state.

Plastinum Polymer Technologies holds the patent rights to this mechanical process for mixing immiscible plastics. The new technology, developed in Emmen, is a world first.

Unlike wind and solar, osmotic power can operate 24/7. Osmotic power plants could be built wherever a fresh water river empties into the ocean. In the U.S., think the Mississippi River, the Hudson River, the Columbia River and many, many others. Statkraft says the global potential of osmotic power is estimated to be 1,600-1,700 terra-watt [...]

Potential applications range from small, price-sensitive mass-market passenger cars to large luxury SUVs, buses and trucks. As well as low-cost, compact energy management and storage systems for use in industrial and construction equipment, elevators, railway rolling stock, and local electrical substations and power distribution systems.

Applications of WindTamer turbines include stand-alone and roof-mounted residential; stand-alone and roof-mounted commercial and industrial; wind farms; boat-dock, RV and other recreational applications; portable and transportation; and back-up power sourcing

Clipper’s 2.5 MW Liberty is the largest wind turbine built in the United States, and has over 50 percent U.S. content – more than any other utility-scale wind turbine currently deployed in the U.S.

The design includes batteries, power inverter, power control unit, traction motor and vehicle control unit. The engine in the system is not used for propulsion and is only run to charge the 18kWh lithium-ion batteries.
