Dallas, TX: ReportsandReports announce to have HVAC in the U.S., 2nd Edition — Green and Global Market Research Report in its store

The U.S. HVAC market grew 41% in heating systems and 45% in air conditioners from 1997 through 2006. This period of growth hit a wall, however, with the housing and credit market collapse of 2007 and the historic rise in unemployment. From 2006 to 2007 heating system installations dropped 24% and air conditioners saw a similar decline of 23%. As the housing market starts to pick up again, the credit crisis subsides and unemployment figures begin to drop, economic conditions will once again lead to increased growth in the industry. The green HVAC market should benefit in particular from federal and state support of more energy efficient homes and buildings.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “the average home spends about $1,900 annually on energy bills. Heating and cooling accounts for as much as half of a home’s energy use.” The DOE estimates that home owners can reduce their energy bills by up to 20% merely by replacing furnaces, boilers, central air conditioners and heat pumps with more efficient models. Electric Air-Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) and Geothermal Heat Pumps (GHPs) offer some of the most efficient heating and cooling methods available today.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 offers tax credits that home-owners can take advantage of when purchasing new, more energy efficient, higher-SEER HVAC equipment. “Consumers who purchase and install specific products, such as energy-efficient windows, insulation, doors, roofs, and heating and cooling equipment in existing homes can receive a tax credit for 30% of the cost, up to $1,500, for improvements “placed in service” starting January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2010.” Consumers can also receive a 30% tax credit for geothermal heat pumps placed in service before December 31, 2016.

Another development that will have an impact on the growth of the HVAC industry is the phasing out of ozone-depleting used as refrigerants in older air conditioners. Having already phased out the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) like R-11 and R-12 by 1995, the United States will now begin phasing out the use of the R-22 hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerant as of January 1, 2010. According to the EPA, “chemical manufacturers may still produce R-22 to service existing equipment, but not for use in new equipment.” In other words, while the existing stores of R-22 refrigerant can be used for existing equipment, new equipment will be required to use the alternative R-410A refrigerant instead. That will mean new business for installers and HVAC equipment manufacturers.

Further support for more efficient HVAC equipment comes from the DOE’s Builder Challenge, which supports the construction of cost-effective, net-zero homes throughout the United States. The Building Technology Program’s Builder’s Challenge was developed by the Department of Energy with the goal of offering “affordable net-zero energy homes by 2020 and net-zero energy commercial buildings by 2025.” The Department of Energy claims that homes that have already been built with the BTP’s Building America best practices “can use 40 percent less energy than comparable new homes.” The ultimate goal of the program is to offer homebuyers the choice of buying a “cost-neutral, net-zero energy home (NZEH) anywhere in the United States” by 2030.

Ukrainian engineering company ZORG is not planning to leave Ukrainian market of biogas technologies. As company’s representatives stated, recent news about company closing its Ukrainian office are, merely, a fraud. One of Ukrainian magazines, whose name wasn’t made public, released fake information in regards to company’s future plans right after “ZORG Ukraine” closed its advertising account with magazine’s major editors.

Despite the economic crises, Ukrainian market of bio-energy technologies demonstrates, by far, its highest level of demand. Company’s current contract with INSECO lead to installment of 33 biogas plants in Babyno (Rivne region, Ukraine), making it one of the world’s largest bio-energy projects. The cost of company’s contacts, signed in 2010, already estimates up to 25 mln. Euro, in comparison to 4 mln. Euro ZORG gained in course of 2007-2009.

“ZORG Ukraine” is currently working on optimization of its advertising expenses. Due to marketing efforts of the last 3 years, company’s brand became widely known in Ukraine. Thus, in the nearest future, company’s major marketing campaign is going to be held in neighboring countries.

According to information provided by RBK-Ukraine, EU increases the amount of biogas production by 20% annually. In half of the cases, fumes of the city dumpsters serve as the source for biogas production. Meanwhile, biogas plants for recycling of organic waste, employed by EU countries, are developed and designed in Ukraine.

Essentially, annual increase in production of alternative energy, including the production of biogas from the organic waste, in Ukraine has reached a higher rate than that of EU. In 2007-2008 the amount of running biogas plants in the country ranged within a dozen. Due to a number of biogas plants, built by Ukrainian experts in course of 2009, the dynamic growth of alternative energy production in Ukraine is currently higher in comparison to any country, member of European Union.

In course of the first few days of 2010, Ukrainian construction company “ZORG Ukraine” signed two new contracts for construction of biogas plants with Latvian company “EcoGen SIA.” As representatives of “EcoGen SIA” stated, the choice to work in partnership with “ZORG Ukraine” was made due to exceptional experience of the companies’ employees and its projects in Europe and Asia.

Prime Minister of Ukraine has recently made a statement about validation of new penalties by the Cabinet of Ministers for Ukrainian companies that produce and yet fail to recycle organic waste using biogas plants.

NEXT-GENERATION BIOFUELS COULD CREATE OVER 18,000 JOBS, DISPLACE NEARLY 15% OF GASOLINE CONSUMED IN DC METRO AREA, AND REDUCE MILLIONS OF POUNDS OF NUTRIENT RUNOFF TO THE BAY

ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND — Homegrown energy could power a robust local economy and improve the water quality of the Chesapeake Bay by significantly reducing pollution runoff to the Bay’s local waterways. That’s the top finding in a report released today by the Chesapeake Bay Commission and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The authors, a multidisciplinary team of economists, scientists, and other experts conclude:

* Farms, forests, and landfills in the Chesapeake Bay area could realistically produce about 500 million gallons of fuel — equivalent to a six week supply of gasoline for the DC metro area.
* Raising the crops, refining the fuel, and getting it to market would support about 18,559 jobs
* Raising switchgrass, willows, and poplars for fuel on suitable land would reduce water pollution from fertilizers by millions of pounds.

“This report clearly highlights the real and quantifiable benefits a next-generation biofuels industry presents to the Bay region, and outlines very near-term policy decisions each state could – and should – take to enhance an already growing economic opportunity for the region and get it right so that the industry can grow in a way that is environmentally sustainable,” Maryland Delegate Jim Hubbard said, Chair of the project’s Advisory Panel for the third year in a row.

“Biofuels” is a broad term that covers several forms of energy derived from plant materials. One process is growing and processing switchgrass and fast-growing poplar and willow trees into ethanol. By 2020, the authors forecast a sustainable production of 500 Million gallons of next-generation biofuels per year, using only land resources and practices that improve water quality throughout the region. This estimate assumes no use that limits farmland currently in food or livestock production or forests currently used for wood products.

Hitting this level of production would support more than 18,500 jobs across the economy – from construction jobs needed to build biorefineries to on-farm production jobs needed to grow and harvest the cellulosic feedstocks that produce the fuel. About half of the farmland and private forests in the Chesapeake Bay are currently idle. The report does not call for reducing production of food, livestock, or wood products on working farms or forests.

“A next-generation biofuels industry can create major advances for the Bay region in economic growth, renewable energy produced sustainably right here at home, and improve water quality by reducing runoff to the Chesapeake Bay,” said Maryland Senator Thomas “Mac” Middleton, Chairman of the Chesapeake Bay Commission and the only full-time farmer in the Maryland General Assembly. “Over 18,000 green collar jobs created from a renewable energy industry while improving the health of the Bay – now that’s something we can’t ignore.”

“Pennsylvania appreciates the opportunity to co-champion this initiative with the Chesapeake Bay Commission to grow the biofuels industry in the Bay watershed,” said Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell C. Redding. “Building a regional biofuels industry is good for the environment, national security and our agricultural economy.”

Over the past two years, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Chesapeake Bay Commission have taken the necessary steps to position the Chesapeake region as a national leader in the evolution to sustainable advanced biofuels. The report released today, Chesapeake Biofuel Policies: Balancing Energy, Economy and Environment, presents the responses and accomplishments of the Bay state Governors and legislatures from the past year, as well as the results of ongoing analysis by a select Biofuels Advisory Panel.

The Biofuels Advisory Panel recommends that regional leaders focus on the following near-term opportunities:

1. Officially adopt a regional production target and set supporting state-specific production goals.
2. Implement policy on the following near-term opportunities:
a. Develop biomass harvest guidelines.
b. Encourage winter crops as biofuel feedstocks.
c. Avoid the introduction of invasive species.
3. Create an interstate, interagency Regional Council for Bioenergy Development that will promote collaboration among jurisdictions and integrate the issues of biofuels and environmental improvement with other regional priorities such as agricultural and forest sustainability.

The Chesapeake Bay Commission is a policy leader in the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay. As a tri-state legislative body that advises the legislative branch of state government, its mission is to identify critical environmental needs, evaluate public concerns, and ensure state and Federal actions to sustain the living resources of the Chesapeake Bay. The commission works directly with the state General Assemblies and the U.S. Congress and serves as the legislative branch of the Chesapeake Bay Program.

There are two types of Solar panels – Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal. Let’s start with photovoltaic or P.V for short. P.V solar panels produce electricity using the energy from the sun or a light source. P.V panels have been around for a long time and are most commonly seen on calculators and more recently on road signs. Other applications are numerous such as 12 volt battery chargers for boats and caravans, mobile phone chargers, buoys & satellites in fact anywhere that is difficult to lay cables or replace batteries.

Domestic households are also installing P.V panels to help cut down on electric bills with surplus electricity being sold back to the grid. P.V panels are also installed on commercial and industrial buildings where large amounts of electric are consumed. Now here’s an interesting fact: ’If approximately 11% of the Sahara desert had P.V panels it could generate ALL of the worlds electricity’!

Solar thermal panels may be used for heating water in the home and commercial/industrial uses. Other applications include heating swimming pools, space heating and cooling. There are two different types of system – passive and active. Passive systems function using natural convection which circulates liquid without the need of a pump. Active systems use a circulating pump similar to a central heating pump which is connected to a controller. The digital controller has temperature sensors, one in the collector panel and one in the store (hot water cylinder), and switches the pump on and off when required. There are also two different types of panels – flat plate collectors and evacuated/vacuum tube collectors. Flat plate collectors are not as efficient as ‘tube’ systems and require a larger surface area compared to the ‘tubes’.

The systems do not require direct sunlight to work and rely on ‘ambient radiation’ which in simple terms is background light. The Meteorological Office has been recording solar radiation for over 30 years and has produced maps to show how much we receive in the UK. Here’s another interesting fact: ‘The earth receives more energy from the sun in just one hour than the world uses in a whole year’.

Solar, a leading solar company in Rustington, reports that solar panels in Sussex work very well due to the amount of solar radiation the county receives – among the highest in the UK. A spokesman, for Arun Solar, told us “Customers are finding reductions in their fuel bills are directly due to the installation of solar panels and if energy prices continue to rise, as they have done in the past few years, savings will increase year on year”. He goes on to say “It really is a no-brainer; people can keep on paying out to the energy suppliers or use that money to invest in solar and be instantly financially better off! We have never been busier as demand increases for solar systems in Sussex”

New advanced waste-management technology has been developed by Ukrainian construction company ZORG Ukraine, designed specifically for plants that produce alcohol. Unique technological upgrade allows the plant to recycle production-wastes, manufacture high-quality fertilizer and biogas, that’s instantly converted into thermal or electrical power. “Biogas plants can cut-down production expenses within the alcohol-production industry sector to a considerable degree,” – commented company’s executive director Igor Aksiutov.

Some unique qualities of production-wastes within this particular industry caused company’s intense research and development of the new waste-management system. Wastage of alcohol-producing plants serves to be the best material for production of biogas, yet the process of biomass digestion, in the following case, has its distinctive features. Taking into consideration the fact, that spent grains have shorter oxidation time-span, company’s engineers divided the digestion process of biomass into two stages: the processes of acid formation and methane formation take places in separate reservoirs, which leads to an increase of the amount of biogas produced by the plant.

The quality of biomass, received from the biogas plant, increases as well. Levels of COD and BOD are ten to fifteen times lower. The wastage of the biogas plant is the high-value product – biofertilizer. Up to this point, alcohol-producing plants managed the wastage by production of dry feeds, although the process demanded the high-level of energy consumption.

Despite the fact, that new waste-management system for plants that produce alcohol is acknowledged as the matter of public interest only now, ZORG Ukraine has already successfully installed its technological solution on various plants in Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

At present moment, company offers its clients a number of specialized waste-management solutions:

• biogas plants for cattle and pig farms;
• biogas plants for poultry farms;
• biogas plants for sugar plants;
• biogas plants for energy crops;
• biogas plants for urban ore.

In addition, one of the leading companies within the field of Ukrainian diary industry “Ukrainska Molochna Kompania” received a license for combined production of electrical and thermal power, which enables the company to sell electricity on the energy market according to the green tariff and non-regulated tariff. The license is granted by “National Energy Regulation Commission.” Green tariff rates are set by NERC Department of power-producing companies. Currently, green tariff rate is 1,34 hryvnias (UAH), exclusive of VAT.

Colombia, 4th December 2009: Reliance Industries Limited, the Mukesh Ambani-controlled energy major has been scouting for acquisitions abroad off late and recently proposed to buy bankrupt Dutch petrochemical chemical major LyondellBasell.

In continuation with the overseas ventures Reliance Exploration and Production DMCC (REP), a wholly owned subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited, and Ecopetrol SA (Ecopetrol) signed the Farm-out Agreements, effective from 23rd November 2009, for Borojo North Block 42 and Borojo South Block 43 in Colombia, subject to approval by ANH, the Colombian national upstream regulator. As per the Agreements, Ecopetrol acquires a 20% stake in the blocks while REP will retain the balance and the Operatorship in these blocks. Reliance’s unit will hold the rest of the stake in the blocks and will be their operator.

The two deepwater blocks cover an area of approx. 8000 Sq Kms in water depths ranging from 60 – 1500 metres. REP has completed acquisition and processing of 2D seismic of around 3000 line kms and is in the process of commencing multi-beam bathymetry studies covering both the blocks.

As the National Oil Company of Colombia, Ecopetrol brings a richness of technical and administrative experience in the region. Coupled with the deepwater experience of Reliance this strategic co-operation could result in a well calibrated approach to risk management and accelerated exploration and development in a large part of Pacific offshore.

This goes hand in hand with the fact the that Reliance Industries (RIL) has become the largest natural gas producer in India with over 50 million standard cubic metres per day (mscmd) output which surpasses that of state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corp’s (ONGC).

“RIL is now the country’s largest gas producer,” an official from the Indian Oil Ministry said. RIL’s gas production from its D6 fields in the Krishna Godavari basin touched 50.15 mscmd on Sunday, according to the regular output report RIL sent to the oil ministry. This is the first time it has surpassed ONGC’s 49.6 mscmd output.

Ukrainian construction company ZORG Ukraine successfully completed an engineering plan of a biogas plant for a pig-rearing agricultural complex in Dnepropetrovsky region. According to Igor Aksiutov, company’s marketing director, plant’s capacity will reach 400 thousands m3 of biogas per annum. Biogas will be burned on a thermoelectric power station to produce electricity (125 kilowatt per hour) and heat (150 kilowatt per hour). More essentially, net cost of biogas will be 15-20 Euro for 1 000 m3.

“Biogas plant will provide the pig-rearing complex with electricity and heating system, in addition, plant’s owners will be able to supply electricity for the neighboring city Podgorodny. It would only take a few biogas plants with the same capacity to provide for all city’s needs in electrical power,” – commented Igor Aksiutov.

As planned, construction works will be finished by the end of the year. Biogas plant will not only function as a thermoelectric power station but also as high-quality purification facility. Since biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion in the absence of oxygen, the process is ecologically clean and environmentally-friendly.

A lot of people are slowly realizing that it is not too late to save the planet, and to do so these people have started using what is called reusable energy. Reusable energy can be found everywhere, in the running water of the rivers, the blowing of the wind, and in the powerful rays of the sun. It is in solar power that a lot of people have found the answer to their energy woes, and this is why solar power panels are becoming a big thing these days.

The depletion of so many things in our environment–the ozone layer, fresh air, fossil fuels–has created a clamor for finding alternative sources for energy fast. One of the previously untapped sources that we have an abundance of, the sun’s powerful rays, is now in the middle of this clamor. Solar power panels are now one of the inventions that are being seen as possibly the one thing that can save our planet and save us from self-destructing. Solar panels gather the sun’s energy and store it in batteries to be used for the many different appliances and gadgets we now have in our homes. These solar panels absorb the energy that the sun gives us every day and convert it into the kind of energy we can use for cooking, heating our homes, and for lighting.

Some people believe that converting their homes to solar-powered homes with the use of solar panels and the other equipment needed to convert the sun’s rays into useable energy is expensive. If you think about the money that you have to shell out at the beginning of your solar power conversion, you may see it as such–but think about it from another angle. The money you spend on these solar power panels and the other equipment needed for using solar power in your home pales in comparison to the money you save in the long run. You do not have to spend a single cent on electric bills anymore. You also do not have to worry about gas bills for your cooking needs. These will all be covered by the solar power panels you install in your home.

Some people may ask, what about maintenance? Don’t I have to change these solar power panels every now and then to keep my solar powered home running smoothly? These solar panels are made to last a long time and require very little to almost no maintenance. Since solar power panels are built to withstand even strong hail, it then stands to reason that they are indeed very durable. Cleaning them is not much of a problem since rain can easily wash off any dirt that may be on them or you can do the cleaning yourself with some water and detergent every now and then.

The use of solar panels for your home may indeed save the world by using energy that does not create pollution, does not require fuel that took thousands of years to create, and it also saves you money to boot.

Do your bit of saving the earth with the use of solar panels and solar power panels as a source of energy for your home.

Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report about the production of biofuels from rice.

According to the report “Analyzing Biofuels from Rice” available at http://www.reportbuyer.com/go/ARU04117 biofuel made from rice has been introduced in the Japanese Niigata Prefecture in which around 1000 kiloliters of ethanol is derived from 2250 tons of rice which when blended produces 33000 kilolitres of biofuel.

The report begins with a theoretical grounding of the history and uses of biofuels as well as the role of biobutanol. It also explains the role of ethanol and applications such as biodiesel which have their relative pros and cons. The report further details the economics of biofuel production in order to lay thread bare the cost matrix of the entire biofuel production sequence from processing to sales as well as the types of tax incentives in place in a retail scenario.

The report provides a core analysis of biofuel from rice, beginning from the very basics of rice bran oil and the processes involved in the generation of rice straw such as thermal combustion, carbonization, pyrolysis, gasification, biomethanation and hydrolysis which is then followed by fermentation. A separate section is devoted in the report to the derivation of biodiesel from rice.

The report Analyzing Biofuels from Rice is a comprehensive digest on rice-based biofuels and endeavors to deliver a better understanding on this yet to be fully tapped energy reserve.

July 2009 — The modern industry is facing acute shortage of power due to increased cost of traditional fossil fuels. It’s hence a high time that we start looking at some renewable source of energy. One viable alternative is to use solar energy at homes. Despite the initial investment solar energy has the capability in going a long way to deliver the promise. Also burning fossil fuel for power has had negative impacts on the environment. Hence the right answer for a green and clean future is to use solar energy.

Solar energy is nothing but the energy produced by the sun which then radiates this energy to the earth. If this solar radiation could be converted to energy experts feel that half an hour of sunshine is enough for the earth to fulfill the energy requirement of the modern human race for one whole year. Solar Install is a pioneer in developing and installing solar power systems to the home. This Solar heating technology reduces your dependence on fossil fuel and hence cuts down on your costs in the long run.

At present the government follows two main solar grant schemes for the public to know the uses and benefits of solar energy. Solar install can some times even provide up to 100% solar grants for installation of solar heating systems. The discount schemes initiated by the government are carried out both at national and local levels for all home owners. Solar install have installed a number of such solar heating systems under these grants and they also guide the home owners through the grant application process.

Solar Install provides it service to both Solar heating and photovoltaic systems. Solar heating systems are aimed at converting in coming solar radiation in to thermal energy to heat water., whereas photovoltaic systems generate electricity directly from the incident solar radiation. They are easy to builds and can be incorporated even in the window sills and roofs. Modern systems even give ability to store energy for futuristic purpose. The company also helps you attain permission from the local authority regarding installation of the solar cells.

Solar Install caters to the need of both commercial and residential owners. They provide services for water heating, electricity generation at residential and even help the owners by helping them achieve grants from the local administration.

Charleston, SC (Prfriend) June 2009 – A longstanding disagreement between Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and the chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, John Wellington, settled a longstanding dispute regarding regulations and responsibilities surrounding renewable energy projects on the Outer Continental Shelf.

As part of the Memorandum of Understanding, development of ocean wave energy is now possible. Prior to the agreement there was a misunderstanding as to which agency would govern this technology. The agreement gives the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission this responsibility.

Interest in ocean wave energy and other sea-based energy options is growing because of the vast size of the ocean. Waves are constantly in motion, and in theory this motion can be converted into a continuous energy source.

Perfecting the technology necessary to convert wave energy into electricity would lessen the country’s dependence on foreign sources of energy, which cannot be controlled. It also creates jobs, as the technology is being developed and put into use within the United States. Like all renewable resources, ocean wave energy does not have as much of a negative impact on the environment. It creates no carbon emissions or dangerous waste products.

Ocean wave energy is not a new consideration as an alternative energy source. In fact, scientists have been trying to harness ocean waves since the 1890s, but past technologies struggled to overcome the many challenges faced on the sea.

The large amount of material needed to create the structures in wave energy converters is one drawback to this technology. Corrosion is another battle that scientists must overcome, as saltwater is highly corrosive. Underwater components tend to attract barnacles, which hinder their operation. The devices must be strong enough to withstand the strong storms that occur at sea. Researchers are also looking into more effective ways to transport the energy to shore where it can be used.

As a result of this new agreement, Inerjy has received the green light to continue research into wave energy converters, which are devices that can take the nearly perpetual energy in ocean waves and convert it into usable electricity. This is a strategic move, because new technologies must be developed in order to overcome the problems associated with this renewable energy source.

Inerjy is working to perfect a new technology known as WaveTork, which overcomes many of these challenges. Not only does WaveTork have the potential to provide a renewable energy source, but it also appears to be able an affordable option.

Jamie Schlinkman of Inergy stated, “We believe under $4/watt capacity is achievable initially on a commercial scale and ultimately that the technology will compete with on-shore wind.” Inergy is in the process of attaining a patent for the WaveTork technology, and once that is secured, the company will release more information about the technology.

http://biofuelguide.net : Ethanol, as in beer and wine, is an alcohol modified to utilize it as a fuel and making it undrinkable. Ethanol is produced by fermentation through a method similar to beer brewing of any biomass containing carbohydrates. At the present time, ethanol is derived from starches and sugars however there have been constant research to allow it to be produced from fibrous substance which consists the bulk of most plant matter – the cellulose and hemicellulose. Ethanol is widely used as a blending agent with gasoline to boost octane and at the same time reducing carbon monoxide and other toxic smog-causing emissions.

In contrast to other renewable energy resources, biomass, an organic material, can be converted directly into burnable fuels, termed as “biofuels,” to assist in meeting transportation fuel demands. The two most widely used types of biofuels are ethanol and biodiesel.

On the other hand, biodiesel is produced by the combination of alcohol which is usually alcohol with vegetable or animal oil/fats, or recycled cooking grease. In order to lessen harmful vehicle emissions, it can be utilized on its pure form or as an additive (normally 20%) as a renewable substitute fuel for diesel engines.

Biodiesel and ethanol are both clean, grow-your-own fuels which can be produced on-site in local villages or communities from locally available, renewable resources, for the most phase using equipment that a local workshop can make and maintain. This can make biofuels an economical option to fossil fuels and can aid in strengthening local communities both socially and economically.

Cleaner burning energy sources lessen the toxic pollutant emissions produced by burning gasoline, and it cuts down on the dumping of used oil. Another gain is that many alternative fuels can be generated, while oil is a non-renewable resource. Demand varies, and there is always the possibility of discovering new reserves. In the contrary, fact remains that the supply may well run out one day. Present estimates predict that world oil production will reach its peak some time in the next 10 to 15 years. It thus makes sense to search for new alternatives before that day arrives. In addition, a much-hyped reason is that lessening dependence on oil will, in turn, reduce dependence on unreliable foreign oil.

Biofuel is made from agricultural crops developed in the different parts of the United States and other countries as well. Increased utilization of biofuel can generate new markets for American products. A number of jobs can also be produces especially in rural communities. As a result, it can keep the money circulating all the way through the domestic economy. Moreover, it promotes American energy independence just by generating a percentage of our fuel at home.

More importantly, biofuel is capable of improving the performance of your engine. Biofuel is a “quality” fuel that cleans your fuel system, increasing octane and lessening harmful emissions, all of which help to lengthen the life of your vehicle. As an alternative to this “traditional” diesel fuel, biofuel is expected to yield significant energy security and environmental advantage to its consumers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(PLEASE FORWARD TO APPROPRIATE MEDIA PERSONNEL)

APRIL 25th, 2009 – SAN DIEGO GREEN CAREER CONFERENCE AT SDSU

U.S. and California jobless numbers are climbing, threatening to grow to the worst rates since the

Great Depression. But thanks to billions in stimulus money, there is one sector of the economy

that will soon be booming… the green sector.

The U.S. Conference of Mayors and the American Solar Energy Society, along with numerous

Universities and researchers have predicted aggressive job growth across the green economy.

As an example, the Center for Energy, Resources, and Economic Sustainability (CERES)

at the University of California Berkeley conducted a scenario analysis for the California

Air Resources Board in which they said that California AB 32 would increase “the Gross

State Product by about $76 billion, real household incomes by up to $48 billion and

create as many as 403,000 new efficiency and climate action driven jobs. The

economic benefits of energy efficiency innovation have a compounding effect. The

first 1.4 percent of annual efficiency gain produced about 181,000 additional jobs,

while an additional one percent yielded 268,000 more.”

With this and more in mind, the San Diego Renewable Energy Society and the Solar Living

Institute are teaming up to help workers explore & secure green career opportunities. On April 25th

they will present the San Diego Green Career Conference at SDSU.

The conference will provide extensive information and insider tips on emerging opportunities in

the green sector, as well as green career consultants and recruiters with practical tools and

strategies for a successful green job search. Speakers include Joel Pointon, SDG&E’s Clean

Transportation Program Manager; United States Green Building Council San Diego Chapter

President Keith Schneringer, The San Diego Foundation’s Dr. Emily Young; Andrew McAllister

of the California Center for Sustainable Energy; Paul Hannam of Bright Green Talent, and more.

Panelists and presenters from across the green sector will discuss opportunities in the fields of

photovoltaics, solar thermal, wind power, green building, energy efficiency, entrepreneurialism

and more. Conference participants will have the opportunity to ask panelists and speakers

questions pertaining to their specific situations, as well as receive free resume review services.

Ample networking time will also be made available to attendees.

Conference organizer Orion Walker says the recent Good Jobs Green Jobs conference in

Washington, D.C. exhibited that now is the perfect time to enter the green career market. “The

excitement in the air was palpable,” Walker said, “We heard time and again from senators,

congress members, and other government officials that ‘now is the time.’ This administration is

truly dedicated to building the green economy. In these economic times, this is the way forward.”

CA, March 2009 – Most of the people can’t live nowadays without television and nowadays people are paying around $60 to $70 per month for the electricity bills. This money is around 3 to 5 percentage of their total income. Mostly electricity is produced in the thermal power plants. The resources for these thermal power plants are in a great danger because after 30 to 40 years these resources will be over. We have think about the alternative ways like wind power, solar power by now itself says Michael Kuyt of www.earthlovesit.com

He added that, “According to a recent survey the renewable energy contribute to around 12% of the total electricity produced in the advanced countries like America. Mainly the biomass power and hydro energy is taking a great part in this renewable energy sources with each having a 40 % contribution. The solar power and the wind power contribution is very much low when compared to other resources which is merely around 2 to 3 percentage. Why this solar power contribution is this much reduced, because of the initial installation cost of the solar panels only. Because this initial installation cost around $20000 which is a big amount of money nowadays. So is there any way to reduce this installation cost? The internet is there for you guys who are thinking to get a solar power station of their own for just $200. In these cases you have to build your own solar panels in your home to generate electricity and these websites are providing you step by step information for doing this in your home”.

Speaking on the move, Michael Kuyt said “Before building your own solar power systems you have know about what are solar panels, solar cells. Solar panels is of two types one is photovoltaic modules which converts direct sunlight to electricity and the other one thermal collectors in which the sunlight will heat some liquids like water or oil, then from the heat energy obtained from the liquids is converted into electrical energy. Solar panels contain several individual solar cells. These solar cells are similar to that of a large semiconductor and utilize a large-area p-n junction diode. When the sunlight falls on these solar cells, the p-n junction diodes convert the energy from sunlight into electrical energy. The energy generated from photons which strikes the surface of the solar panel allows electrons to be thrown out of their orbits and released, and electric fields in the solar cells pull these free electrons in a directional current, from which metal contacts in the solar cell can generate electricity. The more no of solar cells in a solar panel the more total electrical output the solar panel will produce”.
