Mar 8, 2010 - Waste Management also began generating 6 megawatts (MW) of renewable electricity at the site in January with the startup of a new landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) facility. Fossil fuel Renewable energy systems may offer a credible alternative to help maintain our lifestyle sustainably and there are a range of options that can be pursued. Oct 28, 2013 - With near unanimous support, the German parliament adopted legislation in 2010 that sets ambitious targets for carbon reductions, renewable energy and energy efficiency, and commits to a phase-out of nuclear power. The second combustion stage uses these compounds to form syngas, a clean-burning gas with high energy content. Now, coming revisions to the Renewable Energy Act will mandate coupled co-generation on all food processing, and industrial thermodynamic processes as well. €�The only inputs we need are waste CO2, water and electricity,” says Liquid Light chairman and physicist Nety Krishna, noting the technology's potential to simultaneously help solve two huge challenges — global warming and . (efficiency.) These can easilly run off syn- gas. Dec 5, 2012 - Global energy use has reached unprecedented levels and increasing human population, technological integration, and improving lifestyle will further fuel this demand. A variation of this process is presented in 2009 using plasma arc waste disposal technology for the production of hydrogen, heat and carbon from methane and natural gas in a plasma converter. Apr 30, 2010 - The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority has sponsored the production of a guidebook to assist developers of biomass-power projects that produce less than 10 megawatts. Syngas fermentation is a commercially available technology to produce liquid fuel. At high temperatures (700–1100 °C), steam (H2O) reacts with methane (CH4) in an endothermic reaction to yield syngas. The guidebook focuses on three technologies: agricultural waste biogas (anaerobic digesters), biomass direct-fire or cofire facilities and biomass gasification. Barriers to implementing the renewable energy plan are seen to be primarily social and political, not technological or economic. They include the large perennial grass Miscanthus giganteus, cellulose-based fuels, and various waste to fuel initiatives. Government and private labs are pursuing that Holy Grail of renewable energy — but for now the cost of large-scale production is prohibitive.
