KNPC's Clean Fuels Project - Hydrocarbons Technology - 1 views

  •  
    Kuwait National Petroleum Company's (KNPC) Clean Fuels Project (CFP) involves the upgrade and integration of the Mina Abdulla (MAB) and Mina Al Ahmadi (MAA) refineries. The project will increase the combined capacity of the refineries from the existing 736,000 barrels per day to 800,000 barrels per day, and will lower the sulphur content of petroleum products to 5%.

Retire fossil-fuel burning infrastructure early or miss climate goals: Study - 1 views

  •  
    Researchers from a University of California-led study used detailed data sets of existing fossil-fuel burning infrastructures, such as power plants and boilers, to estimate how much carbon dioxide they would emit before they are currently expected to retire.

Reaping the Rewards: How State Renewable Electricity Standards Are Cutting Pollution, S... - 0 views

  • Renewable energy in the United States is on the rise. America now generates twice as much electricity from the wind and the sun as we did just four years ago, and 2007 promises to be another year of record growth.

Why has wave power lagged behind other renewable energy sources? - 1 views

  •  
    With the UK going coal-free for a record-breaking 90 hours over the weekend, energy sources such as solar and onshore wind now play a key role in generating electricity. However, with the urgent need for new energy sources to replace the 60% of the electricity produced worldwide by fossil fuel combustion, it has become necessary to look further afield to alternative energy sources.

Urine-tricity - golden power from human waste - 0 views

  •  
    Scientists in the UK, with backing from Bill Gates, are hoping to power homes in developing countries with human urine using microbial fuel cells. The concept could provide a solution to two human necessities - sanitation and energy - but is it really a viable or even practical solution for the developing world?

Endless energy? Fusion science is one step closer to building a star on earth - 1 views

  •  
    Scientists in California have reached an important milestone in nuclear fusion research; generating more energy from a fusion reaction than transferred to the nuclear fuel. The holy grail of ignition remains elusive, but each step brings the world closer to a virtually limitless nuclear energy source with no emissions and negligible waste.

Plugging the gaps: Areva and Schneider Electric look to empower islands - 1 views

  •  
    AREVA and Schneider Electric have entered into a strategic partnership to develop energy management and storage solutions based on hydrogen fuel cell technology. We look at the technology at the centre of the deal and what the partners are bringing to the table.

Wind now leads EU power sector :: PNN Planet2025 News Network - 1 views

  • 43% of all new electricity generating capacity built in the European Union last year was wind energy, exceeding all other technologies including gas, coal and nuclear power.
  • 20 wind turbines were installed for every working day of 2008. By the end of the year, a total of 160,000 workers were employed directly and indirectly in the sector, which saw investments of about €11 billion in the EU
  • Wind energy is an example of an intelligent investment that puts EU citizens’ money to work in their own economies rather than transferring it to a handful of fuel-exporting nations
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • In terms of offshore wind energy, 357 MW of capacity was added in 2008, to reach a total of 1,471 MW. Nearly 2.3% of total installed EU capacity is now offshore.

Commissioner Piebalgs adresses the Parliament on high oil prices - 0 views

  • As a result of these policies, we can expect a gradual decrease in oil consumption in the EU over the coming years, and the beginning of the switch to cleaner more efficient, and often renewable transport.
  • the era of cheap energy is over, and at a time when, in any event, we have an absolute obligation to future generations to move to clean, carbon free energy sources for heat, power and transport due to climate change. This is the challenge facing us.
  • draft directive guaranteeing 20% renewables
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Practically all of these measures were already cost effective at 60$ pr barrel of oil.
  • lead efforts in an increased drive for Energy Efficiency
  • ensure that 10% of EU transport is powered by renewable fuel by 2020 into practice. It should be noted that this 10% can be covered by biofuels, or electricity from renewable sources.
  • There is an energy future for all of us. This future will most likely be organised around different patterns of production, consumption and behaviour. Like with climate change, action is needed now.

Leading the way - CCS fitted coal-fired power stations now a reality - 1 views

  •  
    Despite being touted as the best way to clean up dirty fossil fuels, commercial deployment of carbon capture storage (CCS) in the power industry has been near non-existent. Now, for the first time ever, a coal-fired power plant is being retrofitted with CCS.

Energy security: can the UK handle a calm, cold, cloudy snap? - 1 views

  •  
    The perennial argument for maintaining significant fossil fuel capacity is this: when the wind doesn't blow, and the sun doesn't shine, and the mercury drops low enough that the whole country simultaneously dials up the thermostat, then renewables on their own are not enough to keep the lights on
