Distributed Clean Energy In a Brownfield Redevelopment

BRISTOL TOWNSHIP – Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Secretary John Hanger today toured The Bridge Business Center in Bristol Township, Bucks County, where $1 million in federal recovery funds are being used to install a modern energy system in a former Rohm & Haas laboratory. Secretary Hanger witnessed a milestone in the project’s development, as seven micro-turbines were lifted by crane and placed on the roof of a building at 360 George Patterson Blvd., where renovations are underway in the 50,000-square-foot, multi-tenant facility. “This is how recovery funds are making a real difference in people’s lives,” said Hanger. “In a community that has suffered from an economic downturn, we see this developer making not only a $4.5 million investment in adaptive reuse of a building on a designated brownfield site, but also in providing a clean, affordable and reliable source of energy for its tenants.” In March, Governor Edward G. Rendell announced the $1 million Penns...

Carbonized Chicken Feathers Fibers (CCFF) The Best Hope for Hydrogen Storage

June 26, 2009 Carbonized chicken feather fibers are the cheapest way to store hydrogen. Using chicken feathers is similar to using animal manure and crop waste. All three are waste products that can be used to create something new whether it is hydrogen storage, or biofuel. All three are renewable resources. University of Delaware researchers are the ones who have developed chicken feather fiber hydrogen storage. Richard P. Wool, professor of chemical engineering and director of the University’s Affordable Composites from Renewable Resources (ACRES) program had this to say, “Carbonized chicken feather fibers have the potential to dramatically improve upon existing methods of hydrogen storage and perhaps pave the way for the practical development of a truly hydrogen-based energy economy.” Chicken feather fibers (CFF) are made up of hollow tubes composed of keratin. Heated the keratin creates cross links that make the CFFs stronger. Heating also causes the CFFs to become more po...

Ultra Capacitors 101

How An Ultra Capacitor Works Ultra capacitors & Super Capacitors store electricity by physically separating positive and negative charges— different from batteries which do so chemically. The charge they hold is like the static electricity that can build up on a balloon, but is much greater thanks to the extremely high surface area of their interior materials. An advantage of the ultracapacitor is their super fast rate of charge and discharge... which is determined solely by their physical properties. A battery relies on a slower chemical reaction for energy. A disadvantage of an ultracapacitor is that currently they store a smaller amount of energy than a battery does. Ultracapacitors are very good at efficiently capturing electricity from regenerative braking, and can deliver power for acceleration just as quickly. With no moving parts, they also have a very long lifespan - 500,000 plus charge/recharge cycles. Ultracapacitors are currently used for wind energy, solar energy, and ...
