All You Ever Wanted to Know About Clean Energy Technology

With recent innovations many are wondering exactly what is clean energy and the technology that is used with this kind of energy. Clean energy often refers to the use of renewable resources to produce energy that is needed to power things. This includes electricity, heat, light, water, and portable power. The reason it is termed clean is because it emits fewer harmful toxins in the environment. As the innovations continue to develop, so will the uses of clean energy technology. Batteries, smart meters, and robotics are a few examples of clean energy technology. The demand for smart and green technology will continue to increase over time...<---Full Article

A Burgeoning Clean Energy Market in Ontario

Ontario witnessed a tremendous increase in clean energy installations after the province implemented its feed-in-tariff program in October, 2009. The program offers high prices for power fed into the grid from renewable sources. This has drawn international manufacturers, project developers, and power generators to the province, who are interested in establishing new business ventures or enhancing existing facilities...<---Full Article

New UOIT Lab Searches for Renewable Energy Solutions

Oshawa's University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) opened a state-of-the-art, multi-million dollar laboratory earlier this month. The purpose of the facility, known as the Clean Energy Research Laboratory (CERL), is not only to run experiments, but also to eventually move new alternative energy technologies out of academia and into the market...<---Full Article

Colson spent more than a year researching, sourcing and testing the world's finest green papers for digital imaging with the goal of finding alternate tree-free, chlorine-free substrates comparably priced to virgin (not recycled) papers...<---Full Article

Do You Care If a Company Goes Green?

You hear the term "greenwashing" quite a bit these days. Most major companies, if they're smart, are announcing their intentions to make their practices a little greener, but they don't always deliver on the promise. A particularly recent trend is to announce that the company is taking pains to improve the eco-friendliness of its supply chain...<---Full Article

The Geysers Geothermal Energy Sustainability

Both PG&E and the Steam Suppliers, mainly oil companies, depended upon analyses done by geological experts (university professors) for their judgment regarding the steam supply. The experts all agreed that the plants would be able to maintain full power output over their design life..<---Full Article

Managing Growth in Wind Energy Production

Abstract: The Energy Information Agency predicts that in the next 25 years, wind energy capacity in the U.S. will grow by 300%. This paper will address some of the main issues affecting the growth in wind energy production in the U.S. and Michigan including regulatory issues, environmental concerns, and technological barriers. In keeping with a local environmental planning context, most of the focus will be on environmental concerns, including concerns over public safety and welfare, with many references to local policies and regulations. A discussion of wind energy production is certainly apropos as policy-makers are recognizing the problems associated with current methods of energy production.<---Full Article

The Personal Benefits of the Hydrogen Economy for the Average Driver

There seems to be confusion about what the hydrogen economy is, and how it benefits the average driver. In my understanding, the hydrogen economy is simply the use of hydrogen as a medium of exchange among the different energy sources and their uses. This is similar to the exchange economies for electricity or gasoline. A typical American buys electricity that is generated and distributors through a complex web of generator, exchange and supply companies located across the region. The customer needn't follow where the electricity came from, or how it reached him since each kilowatt hour is indistinguishable among the suppliers and the customers. Because this web, electricity is cheaper and more reliably available than it would be otherwise. The typical U.S. household uses...<---Full Article
