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.

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”.

About earthlovesit.com

It is a website providing the people a guide to build their own solar or wind power stations at the back of their home for a low cost of $49.97 . In that guide you will get the step by step video tutorial to build your power station within a cost limit of $200.

Melbourne, Australia ( Prfriend ) December 30, 2008 -Australia’s largest energy retailer, AGL, is putting its energy into innovative and sustainable renewable energy projects, in an effort to minimising the effects of climate change.

Included in its suite of 29 renewable energy (http://www.agl.com.au/environment/Pages/RenewableEnergyProduction.aspx) assets that it owns or operates, is Suncoast Gold Macadamias in Gympie, Southeast Queensland, which is Australia’s first waste-to-energy (biomass) renewable cogeneration project.  ‘Cogeneration’ is generation of both electricity and useful heat that can be used onsite for good use.

What is Biomass?
Biomass is all matter that can be used as fuel for industrial production.  It can also include biodegradable wastes that can be burnt as fuel.

How is Biomass energy (http://www.agl.com.au/environment/Pages/Energyfrommacadamianutshells.aspx) created?
Biomass can be thought of as storage of solar energy in chemical form.  It can be combusted to generate heat and then subsequently converted into other forms of energy.

How do we create energy from Macadamias?
Creating energy from a waste product like the macadamia nut shells involves the following process:
•    Nut shells are burnt in a fire boiler, which creates steam
•    Some of the steam is used to dry the macadamia nuts
•    The majority of the steam is used to drive a turbine to generate clean, renewable electricity
•    About 40% of the electricity is sent to the national power grid as GreenPower
•    About 60% goes to the customer.

What this means for the environment
The macadamia plant produces enough energy from the macadamia nut shells to power the company’s entire manufacturing and processing activity, as well as about 250 Queensland homes.

This innovative waste-to-energy project cuts Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions by around 2,500 tonnes per annum – equivalent to taking about 650 cars off the road each year.  It has also solved the problem of what to do with the 5,000 tonnes of macadamia shells, enough to fill three Olympic-sized swimming pools, that Suncoast Gold Macadamias processes each year.

Suncoast Gold, which exports Australia’s largest native agricultural crop to more than 20 countries including Japan, Europe and the US, has had its efficiency significantly boosted by the provision of electricity, heat and steam.  It has also enhanced its green credentials in the European and Asian markets where consumers are extremely environmentally aware.

By 2010, more than 150 growers throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales are expected to supply Suncoast Gold with about 10,000 tonnes of macadamia nuts each year, doubling the Gympie facility’s output.

AGL’s Asset Manager Neil Cooke says the innovative plant has achieved several firsts.  It’s the first of its kind in the world,” he said. “It also has the largest macadamia shell silo (400 tonne capacity, 18 metres high and 10 metres in diameter) in the world and the boiler is showing that it is possible to achieve consistent performance from a renewable energy plant operated on shells.”

AGL (http://www.agl.com.au) is one of Australia’s leading integrated energy companies and the only Australian energy producer with a full suite of renewable generation, providing natural gas and electricity to over 3.2 million customers more than six million Australians.

Other innovative renewable energy assets AGL owns or operates include the ISIS Central Sugar Mill facility in Childers, Queensland, which is AGL’s first renewable cogeneration project to produce energy from sugar cane by-product (bagasse).
