A new study has concluded that transitioning to wind and solar power would be a cheaper option for the United Kingdom to replace its coal fleet than using biomass electricity generation. According to a new study published this week by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and conducted by London-based … [continued]
A new clean power concept from Purdue University combines concentrating solar power with biomass for a sustainable hydrogen-based economy.
Last month, Enel Green Power commissioned the world’s geothermal-biomass hybrid power plant in Tuscany, Italy. Enel Green Power recently announced that it has added 5 MW of biomass-based power generation capacity to an existing 13 MW geothermal power plant in Italy. The biomass unit was added to the geothermal unit … [continued]
The large-scale utilization of electricity generated from biomass partnered with carbon capture technology — dubbed bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) by the researchers — could result in greatly reduced emissions and a “carbon-negative” power system in the western US, according to new research from the University of California … [continued]
A $10 million dollar pilot biomass plant will be constructed in the Western Australian Capital of Perth. Now you may be wondering, how can there be enough pilots in Western Australia to make rendering them down into biofuel worthwhile? But rest assured, in this case the word pilot does not … [continued]
The solar-biomass model may prove to be optimal solutions when it comes to developing renewable solar energy power plants that can dependably distribute power on an ongoing basis. This might be especially true in India, where coal power, a leading emitter of CO2, remains a leader in providing electricity. As … [continued]
A new 44-megawatt biomass district heating plant is replacing natural gas with sustainable heat at 99% plant efficiency in one Dutch city.
It’s called “urban biomass,” and it’s ours (spsmw.org). Hard to imagine a subject that would find The Wall Street Journal and Grist in line with each other’s thinking, but burning wood for energy has achieved it. Neither outlet seems to view the topic positively. Both have cited the scientific work … [continued]
Small-scale biomass plants could provide substantial benefits to the economies of rural areas, as well as doing a great deal to help stabilize the national grid, according to new research from the University of Missouri. The research found — as you probably would expect — that it can be notably … [continued]
We’ve been following a massive $7 billion renewable energy buy that the Department of Defense kicked off a while back, and the program is really picking up steam. In the latest round of developments, yesterday the US Army Corps of Engineers paired up with the Army Energy Initiatives Task Force … [continued]
