Alternative Energy Production Challenges
Due to the high water content of many species, it takes a large amount of raw material to create even a small amount of oil or carbohydrates for further processing into fuel. Large-scale production is even more challenging, considering the resulting biofuels need to be competitive with petroleum prices to gain popularity and widespread use. The microalgae is pre-concentrated through flotation or ...

Evaluating alternatives for decommissioning California's offshore oil and gas platforms
This paper introduces a series of six additional papers in this issue that describe an in‐depth analysis of options for decommissioning oil and gas platforms offshore southern California. While current leases require lessees in both state and federal waters to completely remove all production facilities and restore the seafloor to its pre‐platform condition, other options have emerged since ...

Strategic thinking on oil development in China
It is expected that crude oil production in China will maintain its current level until 2020. Driven by higher living standards and the rapid development of energy intensive industries, China's oil demand will increase rapidly and might lead to heavier import dependency. Three cases of demand forecasts are presented, but for the sake of sustainable economic and social development, neither the ...

Hydrogen production technology for powering civil and industrial systems: a review
Partial use of alternative energy exemplified by hydrogen energy is expected to reduce negative impacts associated with the current dependence on fossil energy and bring net gain to regional and national economies. Hydrogen has emission levels that are far below the existing and possibly, future standards. Hydrogen energy may enhance energy security and perhaps allay concerns some concerns about ...

Technological change, energy consumption, and the costs of environmental policy in energy–economy–environment modelling
An increasing number of empirical models analyse the economic and environmental impacts of policies that aim at reducing global climate change. Assumptions about technology are found to play a crucial role. Applied energy-economy-environment models propose different approaches to deal with technological change. Bottom-up models take into account many alternative technologies for future energy ...

Sustainable energy solution for cogeneration plant in a modern rice mill using paddy husk
As various technological and operational constraints exist in electricity distribution, many rural areas in India are deprived of power from the national electrical grid. In this situation sustainable energy solutions are the most viable and accessible sources for power production. Among the available sustainable resources, paddy husk is popular and has become a better and cheaper alternative for ...

Biomass Pyrolysis Plant: What It Really Are Capable Of Doing To Suit Your Needs
A mobile biomass pyrolysis plant can operate independently of any electrical grid and might re-locate multiple times annually. The economics of biomass pyrolysis are favorable for many different reasons. The expense of raw materials is less, and the biomass haul distance is quite a bit shorter compared to a set-site biomass pyrolysis plant. The mobile plant may be operated on a number of biomass ...

Optimum reaction time, performance and exhaust emissions of biodiesel produced by microwave irradiation
While transesterification is well established, there remain considerable inefficiencies in existing transesterification processes. In this study an alternative energy stimulant, ‘‘microwave irradiation’’ was used for the production of the alternative energy source, biodiesel. The optimum parametric conditions obtained from the conventional technique were applied using microwave irradiation in ...

India’s Potential in Harnessing the Alternate Energy Sources
Long queues for gasoline, high prices and shortage of gasoline are the signs which show that how natural resources are on the verge of depletion. This shows that it is high time for us to view how to utilize natural resources. India is mainly depended on import of petroleum products for its energy requirements. It meets its requirements by importing 70% of petroleum products. This is a point of ...

US Dominance in Alternative Energy and Energy Efficient Technologies
20 years ago there were very few people who would have thought that international competitiveness to be number one would involve much of anything outside military, aerospace or, computer technologies. The last thing anyone probably expected would be a race to be the top producer of the most efficient and environmentally safe technologies on earth. Yet that is precisely what is taking place right ...
