by The Organic View in Energy
Tags: Dr Aspuru-Guzik Harvard Clean Energy Project Clean Energy photovoltaics solar
We are living in the Age of Energy. The fossil fuel based economy of the present must give way to the renewable energy based economy of the future. Getting there is the grandest challenge humanity faces. Chemistry can help meet this challenge by discovering new materials that efficiently harvest solar radiation, store energy for later use, and reconvert the stored energy when needed. The Clean Energy project uses computational chemistry and the willingness of people to help look for the

Clean Energy View: Solar Energy’s Past, Present & Future
by The Organic View in Energy
Tags: Clean Energy View Arik Ring Solar energy solar thermal electricity solar photovoltaics
Human beings have harnessed solar energy since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar energy technologies include solar heating, solar photovoltaics, solar thermal electricity and solar architecture, which can make considerable contributions to solving some of the most urgent problems the world now faces. Although it is one of the cleanest methods of energy, there have been a myriad of problems with solar tech. Is solar merely a lost cause or is there a lucrative future ahead? Israeli solar expert, Arik Ring thinks so! In fact, there are some emerging solar technologies that are booming! In this segment of The Clean Energy View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to solar energy expert, Arik Ring about Solar Energy’s Past, Present & Future. Stay tuned!
Seasoned energy expert Arik Ring M.Sc. is a solar and cleantech consultant based in Israel and is currently teaching courses on solar energy. His areas of expertise include: developing solar and clean-tech systems, creative solutions, choosing the best technologies for a site or for investment, joint ventures, feasibility studies etc. He also consults on various solar technologies CSP, PV, CPV. Arik has a wide view on a variety of energy issues and is recognized as a leading expert with exceptional contribution to developing cutting edge solar technologies and initiating solar with biofuels programs. Arik volunteers at Non Profit Organizations promoting environmental, education and wellness issues. Arik is a highly sought after speaker and chair in various conferences and has been interviewed by TV, Radio, Press and Websites, with many published scientific and popular papers.

Clean Energy View: Scott Davis Discusses Serious Microhydro
by The Organic View in Energy
Tags: Scott Davis Serious Microhydro water power renewable energy energy consumption
Waterpower is the largest source of renewable energy in the world today, and microhydro is a mature, proven technology that can provide clean, inexpensive, renewable energy with little or no impact on the environment.
Serious Microhydro brings you dozens of firsthand stories of energy independence covering a complete range of systems, from household pressure sites to higher pressure installations capable of powering a farm, business, or small neighborhood. Topics include: Low head and medium head sites, AC-only systems as well as ones using a battery/inverter subsystem, Stand alone power supply or grid intertie setups, and Hybrid systems (combined with photovoltaics or wind).
With all the variables involved in microhydro, there is no “typical” system. These case studies represent the most comprehensive collection of knowledge and experience available for tailoring an installation to meet the needs of a site and its owner or operators. If you are considering building a system, you are bound to find a wealth of creative solutions appropriate to your own circumstances.
Serious Microhydro shows how scores of people are achieving a high standard of living from local energy sources with a minimal ecological footprint. It has particular appeal to homeowners, teachers, renewable energy professionals, activists, and decision makers who want to understand the technology from a “hands-on” perspective.
In this segment of The Clean Energy View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Scott Davis, an award-winning renewable energy project developer with decades of experience operating, installing, designing, selling, and teaching microhydro technology. He is a founder and president of Friends of Renewable Energy BC, and the author of Microhydro: Clean Power From Water.

Solar Thermal as an Option to Fossil Fuels
by Michael Spencer in Energy
Tags: solar thermal energy system photovoltaic renewable costs grid line power photovoltaic wind hydeo electric electricity government subsidy investor molten salt efficiency
Solar thermal may represent a viable way to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, but what will the cost be to implement the required infrastructure for the power facilities and grid connections, some of which may be required in isolated areas? Solar thermal even when combined with photovoltaics produces less than 1/20th of one percent of U.S. electricity production.
Solar thermal energy (STE) systems utilize high temperature collectors that reflect concentrated sunlight collected from mirr -
