Make Maximum Use of Solar Energy; Use Molten Salt for Night Generation
There are many conductors of heat; molten salt is one, which can store the heat that the sun provides during the day. This energy can thereafter be used in the night to provide electricity. In the vicinity of Granada, in Spain around 28,000 metric tons of salt, is present in the pipelines along a power [...]

Friday, March 19, 2010
In the United Kingdom, several potential small-scale hydropower spots have been identified in Welsh and English’s rivers. If some of the spots were used than it would be sufficient to generate power for 850,000 households. The Environment Agency Study (EA) says that setting up thousands of small-scale hydro power plants would be enough to supply 1.5 [...]

Monday, March 15, 2010
Oil based energy production might in the future see its dawn. No, matter how long it will take, one day our oil reservoirs will be depleted. We are already adding renewable energy sources to compliment fossil fuel production of energy. But will it be enough? The optimistic perspective of a “renewable economy” might be [...]

Sunday, March 14, 2010
In Pakistan, the cabinet committee is drafting regulations to encourage bio-diesel production in order to cut the energy bill. The Federal Minister for Science & Technology Senator Mohammad Azam Khan Swati says that this provision is going to limit the greenhouse gas emission from vehicles. It will also assure more reliable and secure sources of [...]

Saturday, March 13, 2010
The traditional biomass stove can actually shrink your electricity bill drastically and simultaneously reduce the level of carbon dioxide emission. There is actually an increasing demand for biomass stoves or typical wood burners. A wood burning stove could reduce the level of CO2 emission by around 1,000kg per year. It would not only induce a [...]

Wednesday, March 10, 2010
Governmental feed-in tariff schemes are paving the way for spurring growth in renewable energy. An attempt to go from large-scale to small-scale electricity production might astronomically be effective. The two main key alternative sources envisaged are wind turbines and solar panels. It is the right time to invest in domestic energy. Going from macro-generation to [...]
