Benefits of geothermal energy touted in air emissions analysis The Geothermal Energy Association (GEA) has released an Air Emissions Comparison and Externality Analysis showing geothermal energy provides significant benefits to public health and the environment as one of the least-polluting and most environmentally friendly forms of energy. The analysis found binary geothermal plants produce virtually no greenhouse gases (GHG) and …

The Geothermal Energy Association’s annual U.S. and International Geothermal Energy Finance Forum (#GEAFinance2013) brought together leaders from the geothermal, finance and investment communities for a day of seminars and discussions. The forum, hosted April 11 at the Marriott Marquis New York, focused on finance’s role in the growth of the U.S. geothermal industry, as well as geothermal projects, policies and …

Interesting read from Alternative Energy Stocks about the Geothermal industry and ways to make geothermal more viable as an energy source. The geothermal industry has been struggling with the same barriers to development for years. It’s a frustrating situation: while geothermal is a reliable, steady baseload form of renewable energy, its development expenses overshadow its obvious long-term benefits. Meanwhile, other …

Preliminary results show an increase in 2012 year-end geothermal capacity   As the Geothermal Energy Association (GEA) prepares to release its annual development report at the State of the Geothermal Energy Industry Briefing on February 26 in Washington, preliminary industry data reveals that year-end geothermal growth in 2012 was up 5% from the previous year. This uptick in development, which produced …

New Worldwatch Institute report examines global consumption and installed capacity of hydropower and geothermal energy sources Although the global consumption and installed capacity of hydropower and geothermal technologies have increased steadily since 2003, both types of energy saw slower growth in 2011, according to new research conducted by the Worldwatch Institute for its Vital Signs Online service (www.worldwatch.org).Global installed capacity …

Solar Thermal Combined Systems Create New Renewable Opportunities Solar thermal hot water and space heating systems are an attractive option for commercial enterprises who want to incorporate renewable energy into their operations. These systems harness the free power of the sun to directly heat the water and air that circulates in their processes, buildings and offices. While solar thermal is …

“GDC Strikes Steam in Menengai,” exalts the cover of this spring’s issue of Steam, the magazine of Kenya’s Geothermal Development Company. A column of steam spurts high into a deep blue sky in the cover photo—the geothermal industry’s equivalent of the black column that spurts from a successful oil well. But steam is even more valuable than oil, at least …

In their new book, CLEAN ENERGY NATION Congressman Jerry McNerney, a renewable energy expert, and technology writer Martin Cheek assess the positive and negative aspects of various alternatives.

For years we’ve been relying on clumsy systems full of chemicals to heat and cool our homes while a more reliable, efficient source was beneath our feet. Geothermal heating and cooling, which has been around for decades, is just starting to gain popularity thanks to new methods of installation that are cheaper and less invasive. The idea behind geothermal heating/cooling …

Renewable power is really a standard term used for those sources of functional souped up that can easily replace fuel sources. To become qualified as the origin of renewable power, it shouldn’t possess unwanted consequences from the energy sources it replaces. Nuclear energy and fossil fuels cannot be called alternative energy resources because they have high levels of carbon dioxide …

Renewable power is really a standard term used for all sources of useful souped up that can easily replace the fuel sources. To qualify as the origin of renewable power, it shouldn’t possess undesired consequences of the energy sources it takes the place of. Nuclear energy and fossil fuels cannot be called alternative energy resources as they have high amounts …

Alternative energy is really a general expression used for all causes of useful energy that can easily replace the fuel sources. To qualify as the origin of renewable power, it shouldn’t have undesired results from the energy sources it takes the place of. Nuclear energy and fossil fuels can’t be called alternative energy resources as they have high amounts of …

Renewable power is really a basic expression used for those causes of usable souped up that can replace fuel sources. To qualify as the origin of alternative energy, it shouldn’t have undesirable results of the fuels it takes the place of. Nuclear energy and fossil fuels can’t be called alternative energy resources as they have high levels of carbon dioxide …

There’s a lot of energy that we can harness if we only attempt to research and develop the technologies needed to do so. We will escape from the fossil fuels and the old electrical grids by turning to alternate choices to these energy sources. One of those alternate energy resources is wind energy. Air turbines continue to be developed that …

There is a lot of energy that we can harness if we only attempt to research and develop the technologies wanted to do so. We will be able to run away from the traditional fuels and the old electric grids by turning to alternate choices to these sources of energy. One of those alternative energy resources is wind energy. Wind …

There’s a lot of energy that we are able to harness if we only try to research and develop the technologies wanted to do so. We will get away from the ordinary fuels and the old electric grids by turning to alternatives to these power sources. One of those alternative energy resources is wind power. Wind turbines remain developed that …

alternative energy for small business Environmentalism is the strong topic of discussion these days and in this context solar power has undertaken huge value Many people feel that the human race is having a negative effect on the environment because of how much pollution we put out by using the conventional power production that we use on a daily basis …

geothermal energy facts Michael L Leigh asked One of the lesser known renewable energy sources geothermal electricity is created by using the heat contained underground by magma This magma heats rocks and sometimes travel directly through water sources below the surface heating it up We extract this water and run it through pipes which surround another set of pipes that …

how to make a solar system step by step One of the biggest household expenses is the electricity bills The amount you pay for power is next to the bank home mortgage Many home owners are looking into using solar energy to supplement their home energy needs A complete system installed by a professional contractor can be quite expensive Be …

wood chip chp There are many ways to convert biomass fuel into a useable source of fuel one way is biomass gasification Gasification is thermal process where heating the biomass in a low oxygen ecosystem generates a gas mixture called syngas or synthesis gas This gas is manufactured up of mainly hydrogen and carbon monoxide Depending on the efficiency of …
