Researchers tested a solar PV-powered system to gasify dried cattle dung, achieving higher energy recovery than grid-powered setups.Their techno-economic-environmental analysis shows the approach can ...

A new study examining the financial viability of solar-heated biomass gasification technologies that produce a natural gas substitute product concludes that combining these renewable resources can ...

Even at historically low natural gas prices, bioenergy may not be out of the running—it just may need a little help from the sun. A new study from researchers at the University of Minnesota examining ...

The technology sounds ultra-futuristic: concentrated solar heat that can vaporize biomass (wood, crop waste, etc.) intosynthetic fuels. But the process, developed by Sundrop Fuels, is real, and it can ...

When using fuel cells to generate electricity from biomass, the best approach is to do so centrally, in combination with a gas turbine. The production and subsequent distribution of hydrogen is an ...

12 August 2008 – Denmark-based Babcock & Wilcox Volund (B&WV), a subsidiary of Babcock & Wilcox Power has signed an agreement potentially worth up to €100m ($156m) to supply biomass plants that use ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Laurels are placed on Arbor Energy's proof-of-concept system as a "blessing of the ship" before being transported from its ...

Micro-scale biomass and solar grids are taking off in India, where the mains fails to meet growing demand. "Blackout cuts electricity to 700 million Indians." So ran one typical headline at the end of ...
