Cleantech Update

This is from the Ca[pstone Website -Editor Stimulus Package Signed by President Obama On February 17, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (H.R.1) into law. The package contains a number of measures designed to promote clean energy and energy efficiency, many of which could be beneficial to deployment of Capstone’s products and the continued development of our technology. For example, the Stimulus provides: Grants in lieu of the 10 percent investment tax credit (ITC) on microturbines and combined heat and power (CHP); $3.2 billion in block grants to states and local governments to spend on energy efficiency and $3,1 billion to fund state energy programs; $16.8 billion in funding for DOE to fund Research and Development of clean energy and efficiency technologies, among other programs; Bonus depreciation of capital equipment; $11 billion to fund clean energy and energy efficiency upgrades at federal buildings. The following summary contains more details on t...

Environmental Power Corporation is a developer, owner, and operator of renewable energy production facilities. The Company owns and operates the Huckabay Ridge facility in Stephenville, Texas , a multi-digester facility for the production of pipeline-grade natural gas, which began commercial operation and has several similar facilities in varying stages of development. It also operates three digester facilities in Wisconsin utilizing the same technology that is employed at Huckabay Ridge. The Company has operated in two major segments through Microgy, Inc., as a developer of renewable energy facilities for the production and commercial application of methane-rich biogas from agricultural and food industry wastes, and through EPC Corporation and its subsidiary, Buzzard Power Corporation , the holder of a leasehold interest in a waste-coal fired generating facility in Pennsylvania known as the Scrubgrass facility.

Hydrocell’s metal hydride technology is a very safe and simple way to store, transport and use hydrogen. Hydrogen is not stored in the metal hydride in gaseous form, but is adsorbed into the material’s crystal structure. The energy densities that can be achieved using metal hydride are very large . Sorage pressure, just 2-4 bar depending on temperature and the amount of hydrogen that the storage unit contains. The metal hydride pressure level can be adjusted to suit different client applications. As storage units do not suffer from self-discharge, they can be stored for years without any loss of capacity. Since only hydrogen is stored in the metal hydride, the gas drawn from storage units is very pure, approximately 99.9999%. Hydrocell’s portable hydrogen storage units are well suited to use with fuel cells and other applications that require a source of hydrogen. All Hydrocell storage units are fitted with a self-sealing quick-fit hose connection and a safety valve, and can be eas...
