Information Booklets on alternative energy BIOMASS ENERGY In Canada, biomass currently supplies 5.2% of our annual energy needs. In BC 23% of our energy comes from biomass, mainly from the forest industry. The potential for increased energy from biomass sources is very large. Only about half the available wood residues are currently utilized. All other sources of biomass are largely untouched. The contribution to the Canadian energy balance can be doubled with readily available biomass. Click to view full document. Biomass Energy PDF FUEL CELL U.S. passenger vehicles consume 6 million barrels of oil every day. This accounts for 85% of all oil imports. If 20% of cars were run on fuel cells it would cut imports by 1.5 million barrels a day. Currently we are using fossil fuel as a source of hydrogen for fuel cells. When hydrogen is extracted from the fossil fuel carbon dioxide is emitted, in proportion to the amount of carbon present in the fuel. Since carbon dioxide is one of the major greenhouse gases responsible for climate change, it is best to extract hydrogen from low carbon content fossil fuels, such as natural gas, or to produce it with renewable energy. However, even if hydrogen is produced from natural gas, a fuel cell vehicle would still emit 72% less greenhouse gases than an equivalent gasoline based engine.

It will put up to US$1bn into research and development - although that will still be far less than it spends on its oil and gas business. Shell is not going to stop being an oil giant in the foreseeable future, but its plans to invest in renewable energy show how many big oil producers see their future as all-purpose energy companies. Shell's alternatives Solar power Wind power Geothermal energy Biomass The fastest-growing alternative energy sectors are wind and solar power. Shell sees the future of wind energy as lying in big, offshore wind farms - both because the wind is stronger at sea, and because there are no people there to protest at the intrusion into their environment. It sees north-west Europe as an ideal region for this technology.

The efficiency of a solar cell is the percentage of sunlight it converts to electricity" So says the NREL press release. What does it mean? Until now, the primary market for this type of solar cell has been for use by satellites. The addition of a low cost germanium substrate to the conventional "gallium indium phosphide on gallium arsenide" design, plus inexpensive mirrors to concentrate the sunlight on the cells may open the door for affordable mass production for use on earth.

K. Pachauri and Pooja Mehrotra Food security for a growing population cannot be attained without the elimination of rural poverty. Solving the energy problem of the rural areas can be a major component of poverty alleviation and requires understanding the nature of energy use, the available technology choices, and fuel mix for these areas. Rural areas of most developing countries rely predominantly on biofuels, mainly fuelwood, for their fuel needs. Biomass fuels—fuelwood, crop residues, and animal dung—provide 85–90 percent of domestic energy in rural areas and 75 percent of all rural energy. In the rural economy of India, for example, the domestic household sector is the most prominent energy consumer, followed by the agricultural sector. Inefficient biomass use in traditional devices has serious environmental effects, locally and globally. The burning of biomass fuels leads to high levels of indoor air pollution that especially affect women and children. Deforestation and a rapidly declining resource base make provision of alternative energy to rural areas for ecological sustainability a crucial prerequisite for food security. ALTERNATIVE ENERGY OPTIONS Many rural communities consume little electricity, and extending electricity grids to meet their energy needs may prove more costly and take longer than harnessing new and renewable sources of energy already available in these communities—wind, solar, and biomass—through renewable energy technologies (RETs). The attractiveness of these sources lies primarily in their abundance and ready access. The RETs for exploiting these sources include biogas plants, solar lanterns, solar home lighting systems, improved cookstoves, improved kerosene lanterns, solar water pumping systems, solar water heating systems, and water mills.

Thursday, February, 10, Commission hopeful: Biomass may be alternative energy source By Andrew Marra Alligator Staff Writer If Tom Cunilio grins when he's speaking to you about things like biomass and green power, it's probably because he suspects you have no idea what he's talking about. He's probably right, too - unless you're an agronomist or an environmental engineer or recently had a large amount of marijuana confiscated from your home and burned to create electricity. Don't laugh - it's happened before. And, in a way Cunilio probably never imagined, it illustrates the complicated issue of biomass and renewable resources that he is trying to communicate to Gainesville residents in his quest for the Gainesville City Commission at-large seat. In broad terms, biomass refers to organic matter such as paper, plastic, wood and crops that can be burned to create energy. More specifically, it refers to a worldwide effort to reduce dependency on fossil fuels by supplementing the use of coal and oil with everything from garbage and sawdust to leucaena plants. The benefits in doing this include less trash in landfills, cleaner air, less dependency on foreign oil and, arguably, the creation and conservation of more jobs for rural farmers, he said. On the other hand, biomass is more expensive to use than fossil fuels because of the processing efforts involved.

Text Only Search Site Contact Us Home October 10, 2001 Let’s Keep Our Minds Open to Alternative Energy Secretary of State Bob Brown gave the following keynote speech at the “Harvesting Clean Energy in Montana” conference held October 10, 2001, in Great Falls. For generations, Montanans have battled the winds that buffet our prairies and tamed the forests that carpet our mountains. Today, we have a unique chance to convert those two plentiful resources into environmentally friendly sources of energy. All we need to do is exhibit the same self-reliance that Montanans have always been known for. By opening our minds to unconventional energy sources, we can nibble away at the shadow of uncertainty imposed by volatile spot markets, terrorist acts, and climate conditions that are beyond our control. We can tighten our grip on our own energy destiny. During my 30 years of involvement in state government, I’ve learned a lot of important lessons. One of them seems especially pertinent here today. My wise old friend Matt Himsl, a long-time Montana legislator, used to say, “Never be the last in which the old has died nor the first in which the new is tried.” Certainly, we aren’t the first to examine alternative energy options. Several other states—Texas, California, Washington, Wyoming, and Minnesota and Pennsylvania among them—are already far ahead of us in exploiting their wind resources. Yet Montana, which ranks fifth among the 50 states for wind energy potential, has yet to take advantage of this precious natural asset.

Index Abstract Marginal Cost Mapping Potential Crops ... Images Library ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES In recent years, several national and international programmes are encouraging and supporting the improvement and development of ways of producing and using biomass resources for heat and power generation. In fact, in addition to the most traditional technologies (i.e. combustion) there are several emerging and promising technologies. Depending on the regional area, the interests vary from one country to another. However, the main motivation of the governments of developed countries is the search for ways to reduce both the emissions produced by combustion of non-renewable fuels and the amount of wastes produced in urban (e.g. solid wastes). On the other hand, in developing countries, the accessibility to efficient fuels is often very difficult and, therefore, they are forced to use more traditional fuels (e.g. woody litter). The biomass to energy use implies a previous treatment of the feedstock in order to adapt it to the technical characteristics of the equipment. Depending on the feedstock and the transformation process, the result will be heat and/or power production through a direct (e.g. combustion of residual biomass) or indirect way (e.g. combustion of biogas produced by anaerobic digestion from biodegradable residues). Another option is the liquid biofuels production through, for instance, alcoholic fermentation or transesterification. The performance of biomass to energy technologies depends on local circumstances such as power production availability, fuel availability and delivered costs, as well as the chemical and physical properties of the fuel.

Sunnier days for alternative energy in New Mexico December 31, 2002 View for printing The green energy industry welcomes New Mexico's new requirement that renewables be a part of the electricity supply By Shea Andersen Albuquerque Tribune Reporter The recently passed state policy requiring utilities to use some renewable energy could spark a new industry in New Mexico. The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission passed the rule Dec. 17 but didn't specify what type of renewable energy utilities should use or where it should come from. It does say they should make renewables up to 10 percent of their electricity supply by 2011. The rule is already turning heads in the green energy industry. Some representatives of alternative power companies were in the audience for the PRC vote, and they say requirements like New Mexico's make them want to do business in the state. "We do rely on these requirements that states put in," said Lori Glover, director of industry affairs for Stirling Energy Systems Inc., a Phoenix company that specializes in building distinctive utility-scale solar power plants. Stirling's technology was developed in part by Boeing, and it has agreements with a Swedish company to build engines for the power plants. The company has several major patents and has a test site and training facility at the University of Nevada.
