Feed The Grid

Mr Green said the existing solar feed-in tariff of 27 cents per kilowatt of energy should be guaranteed for existing solar customers for three years. Households who install solar panels after this year would receive a lower rate to be set by the independent ...

Ethanol weakened against gasoline on concern that the highest returns on making the biofuel from corn since 2011 will help raise production rates. The discount, or price difference, widened 3.18 cents to 18.18 cents a gallon at 10:45 a.m. New York time as ...

Dr Al Zuhair said the project started with cultivating different species of microalgae to select a suitable strain for biodiesel production. “Various parameters were evaluated including oil productivity, CO2 fixation rates and adaptability to harsh conditions, such as ...

Ethanol weakened against gasoline on concern that the highest returns for making the biofuel from corn since 2011 will raise production rates. The discount, or price difference, widened 3.46 cents to 18.46 cents a gallon, as the corn crush spread, or the ...

In the last couple of years, algae has caught the interest of researchers worldwide because of its ability to be used as biofuel. The potential of algae as a source of biofuel is tremendous, particularly because of the exponential growth rate that algae has.

The Cruze Diesel is rated to achieve 717 miles per gallon but one GM engineer achieved 900. Recently, biofuel enthusiasts thanked GM for allowing the Cruze to burn B20 biodiesel.

The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) welcomes the country’s secondd credit rating upgrade but said more and bolder efforts are needed to be done by the government to ensure energy supply stability and quality to create a domestic environment truly conducive to job-friendly investments

In February of 2008, the Texas grid experienced an “unexpected drop in wind power” with wind representing approximately 10 percent of the online generation. This means that wind turbines were generating a large quantity of power ... However, since a highly efficient coal or gas-fired steam generator can only change output at the rate of about 1 wind turbine per minute, they are usually not used to follow the intermittent output of large wind farms

Minnesota Power says it probably needs to raise rates to pay for damage caused by last year's historic flooding to a hydroelectric facility near Duluth. The Duluth News Tribune reports ( http://bit.ly/11pWh2Q) that repairs and upgrades to the dam complex in ...

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota Power says it probably needs to raise rates to pay for damage caused by last year's historic flooding to a hydroelectric facility near Duluth.

Although preceded by other doomsayers, the theory of “peak oil” is most frequently associated with “Hubbert's peak,” which argues that oil production rates generally follow a bell-shaped curve, tapering off once infrastructure investment reaches a point of ...

Malloy's office rejected Hassan's arguments. "Accessing hydroelectric power is a win-win for Connecticut and the region because it will lower rates for Connecticut residents and increase our supply of renewable energy," wrote chief of staff, Mark Ojakian.

But, critics say solar power is unreliable and would lead to increased utility rates. DFL Rep. Melissa Hortman is chief sponsor of the bill that passed the House Tuesday. The Star Tribune ( http://bit.ly/16WchKZ) reports Hortman says the solar legislation is ...

No one is questioning the fact that we have either reached or will soon reach “peak oil”; that existing fields are being depleted at the rapid rate of 7 percent a year, and that the search is on for “unconventional oil” as alternative forms of energy are slow to reach ...
