  • Xu Shisen put down the phone and smiled. That was Canada calling, explained the chief engineer at a coal-fired power plant set among knockoff antique and art shops in a Beijing suburb. A Canadian company is interested in Mr. Xu's advances in bringing down the cost of stripping out greenhouse-gas emissions from burning coal.

shared by Hans De Keulenaer on 26 Nov 09 - Snapshot
  • Today the European Commission has adopted a
    proposal for a European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (see IP/07/1750).
    Energy technology will be a key element of Europe's plans to reduce its
    greenhouse gas emissions and move towards a low-carbon future. But there are
    structural weaknesses in the current energy research system (see MEMO/07/469
    – Why Europe needs a Strategic Energy Plan). The SET-plan (see MEMO/07/493
    for details) should help the European Union position itself to develop the
    technologies it needs to meet its political objectives and at the same time
    ensure its companies can benefit from the opportunities of a new approach to
    energy.

  • A rechargeable Ni-Li battery, in which nickel hydroxide serving as a cathode in an aqueous electrolyte and Li metal serving as an anode in an organic electrolyte were integrated by a superionic conductor glass ceramic film (LISICON), was proposed with the expectation to combine the advantages of both a Li-ion battery and Ni-MH battery. It has the potential for an ultrahigh theoretical energy density of 935 Wh/kg, twice that of a Li-ion battery (414 Wh/kg), based on the active material in electrodes. A prototype Ni-Li battery fabricated in the present work demonstrated a cell voltage of 3.47 V and a capacity of 264 mAh/g with good retention during 50 cycles of charge/discharge. This battery system with a hybrid electrolyte provides a new avenue for the best combination of electrode/electrolyte/electrode to fulfill the potential of high energy density as well as high power density.

  • The Marshall Hydrothermal Recovery System would use the heat from hydrothermal vents 7,000 feet under the sea to make electricity. Its temperature is incredibly high, hot enough to melt lead, but it does not boil because of the intense pressures at the depths where the vents are located.

    Superheated fluid would be propelled up through a through a (well insulated!) pipe to an oil platform located on the surface above the vent. The superheated fluid is carried by means of flow velocity, convection, conduction, and flash steam pressure as it rises and the ambient pressure is decreased.

    An energy company in Israel plans to launch a solar farm this month using new technology it says can produce cheap and efficient electricity while supplying hot water to homes.

    As with all solar energy systems, investors and consumers may be turned off by high initial costs and the need for strong sunlight. But if the commercial pilot works, Israeli start-up ZenithSolar plans to make small units for homes in two years.

  • A new breakthrough superconducting material fabricated by a Canadian-German team has been made out of a silicon-hydrogen compound and does not require cooling. The implications of the discovery are enormous and could transform the way people live by cutting power usage from everything from refrigeration to cell phones.

    What [the survey] found was that while respondents expressed concern about their environmental impact, few were willing to smother those concerns with cash. And, in fact, the numbers willing to take a hit to their wallets or to their server performance in order to reduce their carbon footprints were actually lower this year than when the survey was first conducted in 2007.

  • Até agora, a maior iniciativa do governo federal, pensando na diversificação da
    matriz energética nacional e na segurança do abastecimento, foi o Programa de
    Incentivo às Fontes Alternativas de Energia Elétrica (Proinfa). Iniciado em
    2002, com conclusão prevista para dezembro deste ano, o Proinfa previa a
    contratação de 3.300 MW, a partir de três fontes renováveis: eólica, Pequenas
    Centrais Hidrelétricas (PCHs) e biomassa
  • Um dos maiores potenciais de energia eólica do Brasil, o Ceará foi mais uma vez
    escolhido para ser gerador da fonte renovável. O Estado deu, nesta sexta-feira
    (05), mais um passo na caminhada para se tornar autosuficiente na geração de
    energia, até o ano 2010, e passar até a vender parte do que for produzido.
    O
    município de Paracuru, a 90 quilômetros de Fortaleza, inaugurou nesta sexta um
    novo parque eólico, que está funcionando com 12 aerogeradores.

    Clean coal: Never was there an oxymoron more insidious, or more dangerous to our public health. Invoked as often by the Democratic presidential candidates as by the Republicans and by liberals and conservatives alike, this slogan has blindsided any meaningful progress toward a sustainable energy policy.

    Wind power is, of course, controversial.

    A big knock is that until power-storage technology evolves, wind farms will work only when the wind blows. Wind energy proponents counter that the sites picked for wind farms are predictably gusty, though they acknowledge wind turbines will never be a complete answer to the nation's energy issues. But they say they can be a significant part of the our energy future when intelligently integrated with traditional power plants that have the ability to pick up the slack when wind doesn't deliver.

  • Amerigon Incorporated


    , a leader in developing and marketing products based on advanced thermoelectric (TE) technologies, today announced that its subsidiary, BSST LLC, will partner in a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) project to develop a highly-efficient thermoelectric heating and cooling system for automobiles that will substantially reduce energy consumption, engine load and ultimately greenhouse gas emissions. The goal of the 36-month, up to $8.4 million project is to create a zonal heating and cooling system for automobiles that heats or cools the vehicle occupants, rather than the entire cabin and its components, thereby reducing the energy consumed by existing heating/cooling systems by one third.

  • Gov. Linda Lingle is focused on promoting energy deals. On Nov. 18, during her Asia trade mission, she brokered a letter of intent between the Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute and Lockheed Martin, the largest U.S. defense contractor, to build a 10-megawatt Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion plant in Hawai'i. The state is not a party, and not one Hawai'i renewable energy company was included in the agreement.

  • There is no reason to wait until 2016 for the EuP eco-design requirements to phase out the modestly efficient C class halogen “look-alikes” that are expected to replace today’s clear incandescent lamps. These should be replaced by more efficient B Class lamps sooner than 2016, the European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy claims, based on a new report commissioned by the organisation.
