Energy Recovery West Point Treatment Plant South Treatment Plant Cogeneration is the concurrent production of power and heat from the same source. Recycling, Reusing and Reclaiming King County is committed to recovering and reusing the products of the wastewater treatment process at its regional clean-water facilities. The capability to beneficially reuse products increase the efficiency of the wastewater treatment plants, offer environmental sustainability and save the ratepayers money. The treatment plants have three main products : treated water, treated solids known as biosolids , and digester gas. All biosolids are beneficially reused in agriculture and forestry. Some highly treated reclaimed water is reused for irrigation and plant processes. Digester gas is released from the solid matter removed from wastewater during the treatment process. The solid matter is collected and thickened. It then goes to large digester tanks. In the digesters, the solid matter is heated and mixed. ...

In Indiana, systems that generate energy using solar, wind, hydropower or geothermal resources -- including geothermal heat pumps -- are exempt from property tax. (The definition of "solar" is restricted to active solar systems used for heating or cooling.) The exemption is allowed every year that a qualifying system functions. Significantly, the entire renewable energy system and affiliated equipment that is unique to the system, including equipment for storage and distribution, are exempt from property tax. The exemption applies to both real property and mobile homes equipped with renewable energy systems and may only be claimed by property owners. Property owners that wish to claim this deduction must fill out Form 18865 and file it with the local county auditor. Questions about this incentive should be directed to the local auditor or assessor. Click here to find contact information for your local officials.

Oncor suggests ways to conserve this winterOncor - Now that temperatures are falling and a chill is in the air, Oncor reminds consumers to conserve this winter by taking some simple steps One of the most cost-effective ways to reduce energy bills is to seal holes, cracks and openings in your home and add insulation to stop the flow of heat through the walls and ceiling. Visit www.takealoadofftexas.com for more information. Set your thermostat comfortably low in the winter. Install a programmable thermostat that is compatible with your heating and cooling system. Programmable thermostats can be set back when you are asleep or away from home to help save energy. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs. CFLs last longer and are up to 70 percent more efficient than incandescent light bulbs. Look for the Make Your Mark campaign signs in local home improvement stores to save up to 70 percent off the cost of CFLs. Oncor is participating in a statewide program to encourage consumers to replace ...

Salinity gradient power or osmotic power is the energy retrieved from the difference in the salt concentration between seawater and river water . Two practical methods for this are Reverse electrodialysis [1] (RED), and Pressure retarded osmosis [2] (PRO). Both processes rely on osmosis with ion specific membranes . The key waste product is brackish water . This byproduct is the result of natural forces that are being harnessed: the flow of fresh water into seas that are made up of salt water. The technologies have been confirmed in laboratory conditions. They are being developed into commercial use in the Netherlands (RED) and Norway (PRO). The cost of the membrane has been an obstacle. A new, cheap membrane, based on an electrically modified polyethylene plastic, made it fit for potential commercial use [3] Source Wikipeida

By Claudia Grisales AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF Tuesday, November 18, 2008 States such as California, New Mexico and Colorado have sprung into action with strategies to capture the emerging clean-energy economy — with plans that range from marketing blitzes to statewide conferences to lure renewable power jobs. Texas should be and can be at the forefront of that race, according to a report scheduled to be released today by the recently formed Catalyst Project. "We should be winning hands down," said Colin Rowan, Catalyst Project founder and author of the report "Igniting Texas' New Energy Economy." But "it appears the other states are out-hustling us." The group, which was formed this summer, is a coalition of business, advocacy and policy groups focused on jump-starting the state's role in the new energy economy. Its report is aimed at the upcoming legislative session, during which a number of clean-energy proposals are expected to be introduced. Amo...

According to a July 2008 IREC Report: over 80,000 solar installations were completed in 2007. The average size of a grid-connected PV residential installation has grown steadily from 2.2 kW to over 4.7 kW from 1998 to 2008. The size of a non-residential system has also been growing in recent years with an average of 67 kW DC in 2007. Source NABCEP

R. Gerald Nix National Renewable Energy Laboratory Wind energy is a commercially available renewable energy source, with state-of-the-art wind plants producing electricity at about $0.05 per kWh. However, even at that production cost, wind-generated electricity is not yet fully cost-competitive with coal- or natural-gas-produced electricity for the bulk electricity market. The wind is a proven energy source; it is not resource-limited in the United States, and there are no insolvable technical constraints. This paper describes current and historical technology, characterizes existing trends, and describes the research and development required to reduce the cost of wind-generated electricity to full competitiveness with fossil-fuel-generated electricity for the bulk electricity market. Potential markets are described. The Resource One way to characterize winds is to use seven classes according to power density : class 1 is the lowest and class 7 is the greatest. The wind power density i...
