Installed geothermal power capacity grew by 5% or 147.05MW in the United States since GEA’s last survey in March 2012. Seven geothermal projects became operational in 2012, including the first coproduction plant. Additionally, the first hybrid solar-geothermal plant went online this year, although no new geothermal capacity was added at this plant. There are currently ...
Harnessing solar energy Novel approach yields both electricity and heat. Nancy W. Stauffer MIT Energy Initiative Source: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/harnessing-solar-energy.html MIT researchers have designed an efficient, potentially low-cost system that will use the sun’s energy to produce electricity and hot water or steam simultaneously. Their design is based on a conventional solar thermal system but incorporates special ...
American’s daily round-trip commute is less than 30 miles? With many electric vehicles having a range of more than 70 miles a charge, they are a reliable and comfortable way for Americans to get from point A to point B. For longer trips, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle with a back-up internal combustion engine may ...
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion is a process in which the heat energy stored in the Earth’s oceans is used to produce electricity. OTEC works best when the temperature difference between the warmer, top layer of the ocean and the colder, deep ocean water is about 36°F (20°C). These conditions exist in tropical coastal areas, roughly ...

Triples the U.S. and seven other countries with concentrated solar thermal power plants. The CSP is one of the few sectors where Spain is the undisputed world leader, as the whole of concentrated solar thermal power plants accounted for 72.85% of total installed capacity in the world. Also, solar thermal technology developed by our research ...
