UK: Fuel Cell Power Autumn 2011
posted by on Wednesday, December 21, 2011 - 08:29 AM
gfoat writes "The Government is focusing upon eight ‘key’ renewable energy technologies, for onshore wind, offshore wind, marine energy, biomass electricity, biomass heat, ground source heat pumps, air source heat pumps and renewable transport. Onshore and offshore wind and marine energy could be utilized more effectively if hydrogen fuel cell systems were employed to store surplus energy and make it available when required as electricity and heat. Biomass electricity and heat may also be utilised more efficiently in CHP mode with fuel cells. Heat pumps are efficient means of generating heat, but they still require electricity and this will add to the peak winter demand. Fuel cells will complement heat pumps, providing both electricity and additional heat when required. The Government does include fuel cells powered by green hydrogen as one of the key power sources for transport, alongside biofuels. The electric vehicles, whether powered by batteries or hydrogen fuel cells, will be an important means of levelling the load from intermittent renewable energy sources. For those wanting to use solar panels, which are not listed as a key technology, hydrogen fuel cell systems will enable them to utilise energy from the sun when required during the evenings.

Europe picks up the pace in the race against climate change
posted by on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 10:53 AM
gfoat writes "The Low Energy Alternative Future (LEAF) Index, now in its second year, asked 5,511 respondents across Europe for their views on sustainability and low energy living. The data was then analysed by Imperial College London’s Energy Futures Lab, led by Professor Nigel Brandon, and countries were ranked on their positive attitudes to sustainability issues. As first Sustainability Partner of the London 2012 Games, EDF Energy commissioned the study to gauge attitudes towards energy saving in the year before Britain powers the Olympics. "

The Channel Tunnel has further reduced its carbon footprint
posted by on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - 02:18 PM
gfoat writes "Groupe Eurotunnel as a global organisation has just been certified by the independent British organisation Carbon Trust Standard for its policy and achievements in carbon footprint reduction. The Carbon Trust Standard has calculated specifically that, for the period 2009/2010, the transport system which makes up the cross-Channel Fixed Link has further reduced its carbon footprint by 20.5%, after taking into account that two years ago between 2006 and 2008 Eurotunnel had already reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 44%.
