Energy Research Project for Alternative Energy, Renewable Energy, and Green Energy Technologies

On 30th August begins the new TREE (Transfer Renewable Energy & Efficiency) series of seminars for employees of ministries and multipliers from 57 countries at the Renewables Academy, Berlin. The goal is to train relevant stakeholders on technical, economic and legal aspects of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies, so as to provide an effective framework for market growth in the countries of origin. As part of the scholarship program there will be 11 seminars in different technology priorities, online courses and brochures provided with legal questions. Participants will learn which technology is suitable for which sites, how best the political environment can be shaped more efficiently, what funding mechanisms can be used, as well as aspects of project management. Seven more seminars will be held in South Africa, Mexico, Malaysia, the UAE and India on Solar Thermal Power Plants and Project Finance for Renewable Energies.

With the Green Energy and Economy Act (GEEA) last May, the Ontario government launched the most ambitious feed-in tariff (FIT) program for renewable energy development in North America. The combination of stable prices under 20-year contracts for renewable sources is resulting in a groundswell of green energy development in the region.

Success greets the research team of National Research Council’s National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT) and the University of Alberta. The plastic solar cells have now an operating life of 8 months instead of mere hours. And they are low-cost, environmentally efficient, unsealed plastic dollar cells – a green energy source. Developing economically viable plastic [...]Posted in: Industry, PhotoVoltaics, Solar Power

Oh no all we have to worry about in the world are right wing militias, the left would never do something like mail dismantled bomb parts to a professor that outed the complete failure of the Spanish government's green energy subsidy program.

The first hydroelectric plant in Australia to generate power from treated sewage has been switched on at North Head sewage treatment plant as part of a New South Wales plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and generate green energy.

Ontario's government announced that contract offers have been awarded for more than 180 renewable energy projects. Approved under the province's Feed-in Tariff (FIT), the projects are part of the largest green energy investment of its kind in Canadian history.

Schneider Electric's Renewable Energies Business Unit is excited to announce today, that they will be fully compliant and ready to deliver products within the guidelines of Ontario's new "Green Energy" strategy, the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program.

These days residents of Finnish cities, towns and villages, nestled among thick forests and thousands of cold lakes, are kept warm by wood. Clean, green energy from wood pellets, chips or bio-oil fuels a central boiler and pipes the heat into the local hospital, schools, and homes. For many of these towns, co-operative district heating models have brought not only a lower carbon footprint, but the foundation for a thriving, local economy.

Novato-based SolarCraft announced the completion of a solar electric generating system at the newly renovated Jackse Winery in Glen Ellen. The historic building is now powered by clean, green energy.

Renewable energy development in the Asia Pacific region holds considerable potential for growth in 2010 as initiatives taken by governments in 2009 are likely to stimulate not only the massive adoption of green energy technologies, but also R&D investments and manufacturing capacity.

After a couple of years of happy posting using WordPress, we have decided to freshen things up a bit and move on to another platform. We have chosen Friendster, a great service that we think will enable to to communicate even better with everyone in the green energy field – we hope to see you over [...]

Researchers and scientists are putting on endless effort to make the sources of energy clean and green. There are many devices in the market that run on solar energy. The alternative energy atmosphere is charged with anticipation and excitement. But till now one of the biggest dampeners in green energy scenario is the prices.
