Roster for World Energy Reform

Both developing and industrial nations have roles to play in following a sustainable energy path. In its recent report, "Lighting the Way: Toward a Sustainable Energy Future," the Amsterdam-based InterAcademy Council urges developing countries to leapfrog past the energy supply mistakes made in the west and to exploit mature technologies. Developed states should continue emphasis on efficiency, conservation, and renewables. The global game plan calls for doubling energy R&D investments, increasing the scale of carbon capture and storage, and expanded deployment of renewable energy in distributed generation schemes.

Infrared Heaters with QRC Reflective Coating

Photovoltaic, Solar cell, Vacuum, and other high-tech process applications run faster, more efficiently, and with greater stability when using infrared heaters with the QRC reflector. Unlike conventional reflectors, the metal-free, high purity synthetic quartz QRC from Heraeus Noblelight never needs cleaning, is damage resistant, and maintains reflectivity.

New Flame-Retardant, Low Initial Resistance Filter Media from UAF

UAF has launched a new, increased airflow media that meets the stringent UL 94 HF-1 flame safety rating. This new media is a disposable, less expensive alternative media with lower pressure drop and increased airflow, and is perfect for applications where space is limited.

Solar Power Every Hour

The intermittent nature of solar energy requires storage to assure electricity supply for non-sunshine periods. This solar power start-up is developing flat concentrator thermal power stations to efficiently store solar energy as heat and drive turbines on cloudy days, resulting in power supply security and lower kWh costs.

Photovoltaic Material Gains

The drive for more efficient, cheaper photovoltaic materials has polymer companies pursuing semiconductive thin films for military and consumer applications. Design News sheds light on new manufacturing processes that yield printed polymers and transparent thermoplastic polyurethane promising to enhance solar cell efficiency at lower cost than silicon wafers.

Fuel Cells First for Forklifts?

The road to fuel cell commercialization may be first traveled by the lowly forklift. With on-site hydrogen plants and refueling stations, refueling times and labor costs can be reduced and warehouse space reclaimed as lead-acid batteries are displaced. Direct methanol fuel cells and nanoparticle substitutes for costly platinum catalysts are also under development.

Hydrogen Sponge Job Snares Gas

Reversible hydrogen storage based on materials that soak up and release the gas, either by warming it or reducing pressure, offers a sensible vehicle fueling solution. Interstitial metal alloys and inorganic compounds, some of which store 10-11% hydrogen, are under development. Eureka reports the latest on this absorbing topic.

A Swell Way to Generate Power

The Archimedes Wave Swing (AWS) will soon be anchored to the seabed and float below the sea surface off the Scottish coast, producing power as it expands and contracts in response to water pressure changes. Testing is expected to confirm that the mechanical simplicity of the AWS relative to surface wave converters translates into low maintenance and reliable performance.

A Wind Turbine in Your Tank

Wind energy may be poised to drive plug-in hybrid vehicles in Sweden as the national Windpower Developers Association lobbies for a vehicle-to-grid scheme. Numerous small wind systems can support electric and hybrid vehicles, provide excess power to the grid during peak periods, and curb greenhouse emissions.

Bioethanol Bows in Britain

Operations started recently at Britain's first bioethanol plant, paving the way for a larger, 420 million l/yr planned facility producing bioethanol from wheat feedstock. Technology maturation should permit economical conversion of bioethanol to biobutanol, which offers fuel economy superior to that of gasoline-ethanol blends.

An A-Maize-ing Biofuel Source

It requires little agrochemicals input, is easily rotated with other crops, and may outproduce Midwestern corn as a biofeedstock. With minimal starch and cellulose, tropical maize requires far less processing than other dedicated biofuel crops to yield alcohols: This über crop is virtually all sugar.
