Detroit, Michigan, may be best known as the world’s automotive capital, but it’s also home to the state’s largest energy company, DTE Energy (NYSE:DTE). When it comes to energy, DTE has been as traditional and they come. The company’s energy business is largely comprised of the utility operations of Detroit Edison and Michigan Consolidated Gas [...]
When the trend is supported by the technology – a real talented technology, it becomes almost impossible to stop it. That is precisely what has happened with the new technology for wind power generation developed by FloDesign. Their design is based on a Jet Engine Technology. It captures the wind through a small hole creating [...]
New work from researchers at Denmark’s National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, Risø DTU, is expected to bring smarter wind turbines to commercial wind farms in the near future. The research should allow for greater energy production from wind turbines using the new technology. The team has successfully integrated a laser-based anemometer into the spinner of [...]
Over 7,000 MW of wind power are expected to be installed this year in the U.S. That’s down from 2008’s record 8,545 MW, but that still would make it the second best year in the history of the industry. Not bad, at a time when the rest of the economy tanked and the value of your primary financial policy driver became all but worthless.
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Steven Chu announced today the selection of five projects to receive more than $20.5 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to support deployment of community-based renewable energy projects, such as biomass, wind, and solar installations. These projects will promote investment in clean energy infrastructure that will create [...]
President Barack Obama announced today a series of steps his Administration is taking as part of its comprehensive strategy to enhance American energy independence while building a foundation for a new clean energy economy, and its promise of new industries and millions of jobs.
As the dust settles from Massachusetts Senate election, one thing is clear for cleantech: proposals attached to the jobs bill have much better chance of becoming law than those in the climate bill.
UK-based MPI and A2SEA, a Danish company, have been selected to supply construction vessels for the first phase of the London Array wind farm being built by a consortium of E.ON, DONG Energy and Masdar.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has issued a long-awaited legal analysis of how states could implement feed-in tariffs and still comply with federal law.
Offshore wind generation and wave energy foundations can step-up local abundances of fish and crabs. The reef-like structures also favor for example blue mussels and barnacles. What’s more, it is possible to increase or diminish the abundance of various species by altering the geomorphological blueprint of foundation. This was demonstrated by Dan Wilhelmsson of the [...]
