Which Companies Are Best for the Environment?
The goal of alternative energy is to create a sustainable way of powering our future. New technologies are being developed each year that get us closer to that goal. While these next-generation technologies are in development, some companies are taking proactive steps to be as sustainable as possible, given the current state of energy production and consumption.
Greener Dawn Research Commences Algae Based Biofuel
Greener Dawn Research believes that the planet is at the verge of moving toward a more energy-efficient global economy with much lower levels of polluting emissions. The group recently released their report on algae-based biofuels.
Uses of Wind Turbines
Wind is a powerful source of energy which, for centuries, has been harnessed for different uses. More and more scientists and researchers consider that wind can be used effectively as a clean renewable energy source. But this can only be done when power within the moving air is harnessed properly.
The Wind Energy Industry has grown [...]
The Advantages of Biofuels
Oil prices have a great impact on everyone. Every time there’s an increase, people feel it, even if they don’t drive a car. Some suggest we use biofuel to lessen the impact of the rising fuel costs.
But what is biofuel, and how does it differ from fossil fuel?
Biofuel is produced from recycled elements of the food chain, [...]
The Differences Between Alternative Energy, Renewable Energy, & Clean Energy
To most people, the differences between “alternative energy,” “renewable energy,” and “clean energy,” might not be obvious. But each term is unique.
The Uses of Fuel Cells
An Alternative Energy Solution
It is a well known fact that fuel cells are a potential alternative to the internal combustion engine. In fact, even though fuel cells are still in their pilot stages of development, many car manufacturers have prototype vehicles that operate on fuel cells. The application of fuel cells is, however, far wider than [...]
Fuel Cells, an Alternative Energy Source to Power our Nation
What are fuel cells?
Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that combine hydrogen and oxygen in order to produce electricity.
During the power generation cycle, water and heat are produced as a by-products. This is a far more ideal byproduct than the unclean emissions which are created by other methods of generating electricity.
Fuel Cells will operate and generate power so long [...]
The Solar Tower
A solar tower is a device that converts solar thermal energy (heat from the sun) into electricity. Solar towers are suitable for large-scale power generation.
The Basic Component Parts of a Solar Tower Energy Plant:
Solar Tower – The solar tower is simply a large structure with a boiler (a tank used to heat liquids) at the top. The boiler collects [...]
Solar Ink
Have you ever heard of solar ink? Well, there are some really smart people out there, creating some really smart inventions, and this is one of them.
There is No Energy Shortage on Earth
There is no energy shortage on earth, there is a shortage in technology to harvest the energy available on earth.
To put things in perspective – the sun delivers [...]
Photovoltaic Cells
As the world advances, new technologies arise – or, in some cases, older technologies are exhumed and improved upon.
Although most people are under the impression that the field of photovoltaics is a new subject, based on recent invention, this is not actually the case. But first of all lets take a look at what “photovoltaic” means.
The word “photovoltaics” can [...]
