Overview of the Solar Energy sector in India

India has a vast supply of green energy resources, and has a significant program for deploying these resources. An exclusive ministry for renewable energy called Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources later renamed as Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNES) has also been set up.

According to the recent report on Renewable Energy in India from …

… books that came out in 2010 and that were authored by staff, contributors and friends of The Daily Green. As it turns out, our relatively small circle is relatively prolific, and these recent works span a pretty broad range of topics and styles, from natural health to food, tech and even sex.

I was recently fortunate to team up with Jay Egg to co-write a new book on geothermal heating and cooling. Jay …

The simplest green energy definition would be energy produced from energy sources that are environmentally more friendly (or “greener”) compared to fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas). Green energy therefore includes all renewable energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal, biofuels, hydropower), and by definition should also include nuclear energy though there are many environmentalists who oppose the idea of talking about nuclear energy as the green energy because of the nuclear waste issue, and its harmful environmental effects.

Green energy term was coined to separate highly polluting …

Global Wind Power Last year the wind energy sector grew by 30% pushing the global total of installed wind energy capacity to finally break the 40GW mark.

However, this growth has not been equal across the world. Europe, in particular Germany has the largest share of today’s wind market- about 75%. Germany’s contribution to this global total is a massive 15 GW – almost 40% of the planet’s installed wind power capacity. Spain is 2nd placed globally with over 6GW of capacity installed, that is more or less the same as North and South America combined. Despite the rhetoric, India still has three times …

Portland General Electric Company (PGE) has entered an agreement with Renewable Energy Systems Americas (RES Americas) to buy the development rights of the 550 megawatts Rock Creek wind farm in Gilliam County, Ore. Under the terms of the agreement PGE holds exclusive rights to purchase the project until the end of the year.

The Rock Creek facility is expected to go live sometimes between 2014 or 2015.

The agreement with PGE is in line with RES Americas’ strategy. Indeed, the …

… in and for wind farms, developing and maintaining the technology necessary to keep this type of green, clean energy alive.

The first of these environmental science jobs is a wind turbine machinist. These are production machinists that specialize in making wind turbine parts. Green corporations that manufacture wind turbines use machinists to product the metal and plastic parts needed for the turbine. A machinist will be reading blueprints, selecting the right tools and equipment as well as drilling material such as steel, …

Wind energy is a type of renewable energy one would love to see everywhere, be it out in the rural country of the United States or atop one’s more urban dwelling. The problem with the latter is that it is often impractical to put more traditional looking wind turbines on the roof of an apartment building. Enter the

Funding Green Renewable Energy – Financing Project Developments

During the past several years, continuous growth has been enjoyed by the green renewable energy development financing industry. Funding projects for wind turbine farms, biofuel plants, solar power and more has been critical in the ongoing production of these facilities. This growth is expected to continue and geometrically expand in the coming years in response to global warming and the current fuel cost crisis. This growth of financing renewable energy development project funding will …

Myra Lukens, a Green Empowerment volunteer in our Portland office, is a Junior at Columbia River High School in Vancouver, WA. Myra fills us in on some of her wind energy research for the Washington Junior Science and Humanities Symposium in March. Experiments like Myra’s are critical to educating the up-and-coming energy professionals of tomorrow.

For an independent research project for my school, Columbia River High School, I chose to do an experiment that focused on windmills and their efficiencies. I tested the effect of blade pitch on the length of time required to raise a 100 …
