“Solar power has virtually no environmental impact.” Now that’s a statement everyone can agree on. However, things in life are rarely that simple. Take for instance Ausra, Inc. a developer of utility-scale solar thermal power plants, and its plans for a $500 million solar thermal plant in Carrizo Plain, California. |

Contrary to certain views, waste plays a paradoxal role in our lives and is unavoidable. Even the most efficient and well-managed waste management system remains widely unnoticed in the communities it serves. |

A long-established paper mill operating in the state of Mississippi has found a new use for the natural resource on which its business depends. In December 2007, the Wiggins, Mississippi operation began converting wood residue to natural gas as a primary source of energy fueling its operations. |

A geothermal resource differs from other energy sources in that it is both renewable and reliable. When it comes to a geothermal power purchase agreement (PPA), certain basic features exist. For starters, a seller is usually the project developer; |
How the next generation of inverters will change the future of renewable energy production and distribution
The next generation of commercial and utility scale solar inverters will be the core enabling technologies for the growth of large scale distributed energy systems. |

A majority of renewable energy technologies are directly or indirectly powered by the sun. The earth-atmosphere system is in equilibrium such that heat radiation into space is equal to incoming solar radiation, and the resulting level of energy can be described as earth’s “climate.” |

The world’s first commercial-scale tidal energy system has been successfully installed in fast flowing waters on the east coast of Northern Ireland. SeaGen, as it is known, is a gigantic device that is made up of two 0.6 megawatt (MW) turbines mounted by cross beam on a slender tower. |

When considering wind energy, lenders and investors tend to question if financing a wind project is in line with regular expectations and customs, or what adaptations need to be made to accommodate the particulars of such a project. Some of these particulars require a closer looks, especially in the US where growth rates have heightened in recent years. |

Day4 Energy Inc. announced in August that it has successfully developed and tested a proprietary PV module technology specifically designed for application with solar cells based on Upgraded Metallurgical Grade (UMG) silicon material. According to the company, once commercialized, UMG silicon technologies are widely believed to become a viable source of low cost alternative silicon material for the solar industry. |
