Fat worms confirm that researchers from Michigan State University have successfully engineered a plant with oily leaves -- a feat that could enhance biofuel production as well as lead to improved animal feeds.
Researchers from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will exhibit their work at the 2013 Energy Innovation Summit of high-impact energy research funded by DOE's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, or ARPA-E. The summit runs Feb. 25-27 at the Gaylord Convention Center in National Harbor, Md. Below is an overview of PNNL research that will be highlighted there.
The upcoming conference ‘The Solar Future: Denmark’ will focus on the potential for solar energy in Denmark. Experts expect that larger companies and businesses will become a new growth market.
Neoenergia and Odebrecht Energia began the deployment of the solar power plant at the Arena Pernambuco soccer stadium, a project that is part of the Research and Development (R&D) program of the three distributors of the Neoenergia Group; Celpe (state of Pernambuco), Coelba (state of Bahia) and Cosern (state of Rio Grande do Norte). With 1 MWp of installed capacity, equivalent to the average consumption of 6000 Brazilians, the solar plant will cost about 10 million Brazilian Reals, being 9 million Brazilian Reals invested by Neoenergia, through the R&D stategy project of Aneel, and 1.2 million Brazilian Reals invested by Odebrecht Energia, with completion scheduled for June 2013.
Building on its commitment to increase the use of renewable energy resources in the U.S. and throughout the world, UPS has invested in two solar power projects at its distribution facilities in Parsippany and Secaucus, New Jersey that showcase the business benefits of owning and operating sustainable energy systems.
EMCORE Corporation, a leading provider of compound semiconductor-based components and subsystems for the fiber optic and solar power markets, announced today that EMCORE solar panels are powering the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) satellite that was successfully launched on February 11, 2013 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. LDCM was designed, built and tested by Orbital Sciences Corporation for NASA to support the Landsat Earth observation program that began over four decades ago. The LDCM satellite continues a 40-year legacy of seven previous satellites that have collected vital data and images of the Earth's surface and environment.
One of President Michael M. Crow’s goals for ASU for 2013 and beyond is to “undertake applied sustainability research that impacts the social, environmental and economic evolution of the southwest.” Perhaps nowhere on any ASU campus is that goal more fervently pursued than in the labs and minds of LightWorks, ASU’s initiative for creating light-inspired solutions for the energy challenges of today and tomorrow.
SMU's renowned Geothermal Lab will host its sixth Geothermal Energy Utilization Conference March 12-14 on the SMU campus in Dallas. Jon Wellinghoff, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, will be the keynote speaker and Doug Hollett, program manager of the U.S. Department of Energy Geothermal Technologies Program, will speak at an evening reception.
Lampton-Love has joined Alliance AutoGas, expanding the network’s presence in the Southeast U.S. Lampton-Love will provide fleets in Louisiana and Tennessee with the Alliance AutoGas complete program for switching vehicles to propane autogas.
Efforts to tap precisely into Canada's geothermal energy reserves took a step forward today with the announcement of a $2.4 million investment in Calgary-based Borealis GeoPower's optimal geothermal exploration project by Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC).
