Large amounts of wind and solar can be incorporated onto the grid without a lot of backup generation(21/05/2010)
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Department of Energy is investing more than $26 million to further study the Western transmission interconnection, which will help states, utilities, and grid operators prepare for future growth in energy demand, renewable energy resources, and Smart Grid technologies. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has released an initial study assessing the operational impacts and economics of i... [more]
Mascoma achieves major research advances in consolidated bioprocessing(12/05/2009)
Consolidated bioprocessing, or CBP, is a low-cost processing strategy for production of biofuels from cellulosic biomass. CBP avoids the need for the costly production of cellulase enzymes by using engineered microorganisms that produce cellulases and ethanol at high yield in a single step. A prominent DOE/USDA research agenda states that “CBP is widely considered to be the ultimate low-cost configuration for cellulose hydrolysis and fermentat... [more]
