PIERRE-PASCAL URBON - SMA
The U.S. housing crisis is the main cause of the global financial crisis. Therefore, the availability of loans for green field installations seems to be limited. However, financing for residential and commercial PV applications is still available.
Who Needs a Tax Credit?
The oil and gas industry were provided a $17 billion tax credit from 2007-2011 in the latest energy bill passed last December. That's $3.4 billion in tax credits for each of five years.
TIOGA ENERGY REPORT - SOLAR PPA
In today's marketplace, energy has become a strategic issue. Organizations of all types, including corporations, government agencies and non-profits, are evaluating where they get their power, how much they use and what they're spending for it.
Peak Oil, Foreclosures and Food
Peak Oil is the maximum rate at which we can pump oil out of rocks. World Peak Discovery was 1964. Peak in US production was 1970, North Sea 1999, Mexico 2004, Saudi Arabia 2005.
Power vs. Emissions - The Genset Tug of War
The main challenge for manufacturers of diesel engines and generator sets is thus to reduce the level of harmful substances, while maintaining similar or better performance levels.
The Nature of Grid Tied PV
Grid-tied PV systems without energy storage do not reduce load in a substantial and predictable way, which will be a keystone of sustainable energy policy. We will need to institute three main objectives to reduce greenhouse gasses and localize power production to facilitate smaller, efficient local power plants.
Tire Derived Fuel
With the fossil fuel prices increasing rapidly, the waste from scrap tires will certainly be increasingly be made use of. Developing innovative and economical as well as effective systems for TDF usage is and will always be a challenge to the business.
INTERVIEW - STATUS OF THE ENERGY BILL - SCOTT SKLAR
Small business qualify for the 30% solar and fuel cell investment tax credit, and receive 5-year accelerated depreciation, incentives for 50% lighting reductions, use of combined heat and power are now part of the House and Senate bills.
OIL AND COAL IN THE 21ST CENTURY
The new century oil and coal companies will "Grow" their carbon fuels in bioreactors using safe and cost-effective biotechnology.
Investing in PV Solar Energy
I see great potential in the nano technology area. It is my feeling that if there is a huge blockbuster technology that is going to emerge and "take over" the PV industry, I feel that it will somehow involve breakthroughs and application of nano technology to the area of photovoltaics.
Environmental Policy May Contain Traces of Nuts
Should we choose to have 20% of our power production ideologically clean, or 80% of our electricity needs atmospherically clean? The answer is: we should do both.
Hydrogen stations are springing up everywhere!
Spring has been a busy period for hydrogen fueling stations, with five stations recently opening worldwide.
Renewable Energy Markets Worldwide 2015 Driven by Climate Change
Nanotechnology is undoubtedly one of the key technologies which will influence energy efficiency
Will the UK House Building Industry rise to the Carbon Challenge?
The Government recently announced the launch of their "Carbon Challenge" which aims to create five zero carbon or near carbon developments throughout the UK in order to provide working examples to the building industry. The idea is to encourage house builders to implement good building practices in order to meet the 2016 CO2 emissions targets.
China's Solar Energy Industry: Polysilicon 2007-2011
China's 2005 Renewable Energy Law called for the country to increase its renewable energy consumption to 10 percent of the total by 2020. Without sufficient supply of domestic polysilicon, this goal, as well as solar cell export goals, will be difficult to meet.
