Sapphire Energy has received an award of $104.5 million for its efficient energy work. Sapphire Energy, which is considered as a leading company in algae-based fuel technology, received this award, as a part of President Obama’s American Recovery and Investment Act and the Biorefinery Assistant Program, which gained its authorization through the Farm Bill of 2008. The US Department of Energy issued this grant for $50 million and the US Department of Agriculture issued the loan guarantee for $54.5 million.
A commercial agreement was signed between Advanced Energy Industries and SunEdison. This was announced by Advanced Energy Industries. SunEdison is a leading provider of solar energy services. The commercial agreement signed by them includes photovoltaic (PV) inverters, Solaron grid-tie, and services for complete life cycles of the products.
Governor Edward G. Rendell made an announcement on 4 December, 2009 about the nine large-scale heat and power projects that are expected to generate sufficient power for 180,000 homes every year along with a reduction in the emission of carbon dioxide. Power distribution works will be stabilized and new jobs will be created with the development of these new projects. Pennsylvania’s Green Energy Works! Program through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will provide more than $12 million towards the development of the combined heat and power projects (CHP).
Fuel cell will be providing the majority of energy needs for Connecticut Science Center. This science center, located in downtown Hartford, becomes the first science center in the country to adopt the fuel cell clean energy strategy. Almost 100% of energy needed for the Connecticut Science Center will be met by fuel cell annually. The 200kW fuel cell will deliver about two-thirds of the energy requirement of the science center during operating hours. The fuel cell will transfer energy back into the grid when the power demand is less for the science center. In addition, the fuel cell will also be used for providing back-up power.
Canadian Solar announced on 3 December, 2009 that it has planned to start with the site selection and approval process in order to develop a 200 megawatt module manufacturing facility in Ontario. Canadian Solar supplies solar farm, solar modules for commercial and residential markets, solar cells, turnkey solutions and custom-designed solar application products. Decisions about the selected site, its size and cost are expected to be finalized in the first quarter of the year 2010. FIT applications have been submitted to Ontario Power Authority, and Canadian Solar has already started to receive attention from customers who are interested in buying solar systems from Ontario Solar.
The Proven 15kW wind turbine has a cut-in wind speed of 2.5m/s and a survival wind speed of 70m/s. Its rated power output is 15kW and the rated wind speed is 12m/s. It incorporates three blades made of glass-thermoplastic composite materials. The rotor has a diameter of 9m and has a rated speed of 150RPM.
Recently, Solar Energy Initiatives has signed a Letter of Intent to undertake a $1.7 million turn-key solar project, based on which Solar Energy Initiatives will supply solar power to Gainesville Regional Utilities. Solar Energy Initiatives sell renewable energy technologies such as solar thermal and photovoltaic technologies to the world, thus helps to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. This turn-key project commences immediately and it is scheduled for completion by January 2010.
The e150 wind turbine is a smaller wind turbine, and is designed for small scale renewable energy output. The cut-in speed of the wind turbine is low and it helps to generate continuous output of electricity. This small wind turbine has a rated output of 600W and a maximum power output of 650W at 14m/s.
Solarmer Energy has achieved 7.9% efficiency for their NREL certified plastic solar panel. This achievement caps off the year with similar significant achievements achieved during the year 2009. The accomplishments include manufacturing, module efficiency, plastic solar cell and several awards. This significant milestone also has a special meaning for the company founders.
A new collaboration agreement have been announced by AdaptivCool and Bluestone Energy Services to provide energy-efficient solutions for data centers in NSTAR and National Grid territories.
