In March 2011, the European Commission published the overall decarbonisation roadmap covering the whole economy. All sectors, power generation, transport, residential, industry and agriculture, were analysed. The Commission has also been preparing sectoral roadmaps, among which the Energy Roadmap 2050 is the last one, focusing on the whole energy sector.
In order to cut emissions by over 80% by 2050, Europe's energy production will have to be almost carbon-free. How to achieve this without d... [more]
BHSL's new Top Loader stores, moves and dispenses up to 150 tonnes of biomass or other agricultural and waste products per day. It is driven by two 2.2kW motors, which operate via a programmable logic controller (PLC) using BHSL proprietary software.
Compared with moving floors and walking floors, the Top Loader is extremely energy efficient. With energy savings of up to 60% and simplified maintenance due to moving parts being located overhead, the Top Loader offers cost savings of up to 40%... [more]
Administered by Ofgem, the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme is a fixed, index-linked income paid to organisations for each kWh of heat produced by renewable technologies such as biomass boilers over a 20-year period.
Held on 5-6 October 2011 at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire, EBEC (European Bioenergy Expo and Conference) provides a unique opportunity for those involved in the production of bioenergy to make direct contact with visitors who are interested in maximising the financial ben... [more]
According to research conducted by the Worldwatch Institute's Climate and Energy Program, global production of biofuels increased 17 percent in 2010 to reach an all-time high of 105 billion liters, up from 90 billion liters in 2009. High oil prices, a global economic rebound, and new laws and mandates in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, and the United States, among other countries, are all factors behind the surge in production.
The United States and Brazil remain the two largest producers ... [more]
Last week, the British Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) announced that UK householders across the country could get up to £1,250 of Government funding to help towards the cost of installing renewable heating systems such as biomass boilers, air and ground source heat pumps and solar thermal panels.
Aimed mainly at the 4 million households that are off mains gas supplies and rely on more carbon intensive technologies such as heating oil and electric fires, the Government’s new £... [more]
