Why Community Solar Projects Are Key to Energy Equity

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

When you think about clean energy, you probably picture big solar farms or shiny rooftop solar panels. But not everyone can install their own system because they either rent or live in shaded homes. Some can’t afford the upfront costs. Community solar becomes invaluable in these situations. It gives you a chance to benefit from shared clean energy, even when traditional solar installation isn’t possible. More importantly, it creates a pathway toward energy equity, helping more people access affordable and reliable electricity. Renewable energy projects aim to fill the gap by providing fairer access to clean power and reducing long-term … Continue reading →

Solar Skins: The Ultimate Guide to Aesthetic Urban Energy Solutions

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

Cities are built from surfaces—glass, metal, stone, and shade. Solar skins turn those surfaces into quiet power plants, weaving electricity generation into façades, canopies, railings, and street furniture without sacrificing design intent. Instead of treating energy as an add-on, solar skins make it part of the architectural language and the public realm. For metropolitan teams shaping growth in sunbelt markets, the fit is especially clear. Firms delivering land development services in San Antonio can capture value from high-irradiance hours by treating façades and shade structures as productive assets from day one of site planning. What Are Solar Skins? Solar skins … Continue reading →

How to Convert Scrap Tires into Biofuel

Waste disposal is a serious concern these days, especially with the increasing public awareness of the need to protect the environment. Solid wastes like old tires present complicated disposal problems. Large, hollow, durable, and non-biodegradable, old tires can take up substantial space in landfills. Leaving tires to nature can also be problematic as mosquitoes and other pests may thrive on them. In the United States, an estimated 300 million scrap tires are produced every year. Around the world, the number jumps to about 2 billion. Fortunately, there are several ways to recycle scrap tires including conversion into biofuels. What is … Continue reading →

لقد دلت المؤشرات على أن متوسط استهلاك الفرد للطاقة في المملكة العربية السعودية بلغ ضعف متوسط الإستهلاك العالمي بحسب الاحصاءات,و تعد بذلك من أعلى المستويات في العالم. مع العلم أن نسبة استهلاك أجهزة التكييف للطاقة الكهربائية تمثل أكثر من 70 بالمائة و ترتفع هذ النسبة في فصل الصيف لتصل إلى 100 بالمائة مما يشكل إختلالآ في عمل المنظومات الكهربائية. فلذلك تعمل المملكة العربية السعودية الآن على تبني مصادر متنوعة للطاقة المتجددة و استكشاف الطرق الرامية إلى تحسين أداء الطاقة البترولية والحد من أثآرها على البيئة ويمكنها في نهاية المطاف أن تحقق الاستدامة من خلال تنويع مصادر هذه الطاقة. فالإعتماد على … Continue reading →

Working of a Modern Biogas Plant

By | | ,
21 Comments

Biogas plants are decentralized energy system that can lead to self-sufficiency in heat and power requirements, and at the same time reduces environmental pollution. A biogas plant stabilizes organic waste through natural biological process in the absence of air and transforms waste into biogas and biofertilizer. Biogas facilities are well-suited to wet organic material and are commonly used for treating biodegradable waste materials such as waste paper, grass clippings, leftover food, sewage and animal waste. The components of a modern biogas plant includes manure collection, anaerobic digester, effluent treatment plant, gas storage, and CHP or electricity generating equipment. Working of … Continue reading →

Thermal Technologies for MSW-to-Energy Conversion

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

Thermal (or thermochemical) MSW-to-energy conversion systems consist of primary technologies which convert the municipal waste into heat or gaseous and liquid products, together with secondary conversion technologies which transform these products into more useful forms of energy, such as heat and electricity. A wide array of thermal waste-to-energy technologies are available to convert the energy stored in solid wastes into more useful forms of energy. These technologies can be classified according to the principal energy carrier produced in the conversion process. Energy carriers are in the form of heat, gas, liquid and/or solid products, depending on the extent to which … Continue reading →

Morocco, being the largest energy importer in North Africa, is making concerted efforts to reduce its reliance on imported fossil fuels. Renewable energy is an attractive proposition as Morocco has almost complete dependence on imported energy carriers. Morocco is already spending over USD 13.5 billion each year on fuel and electricity imports and is experiencing power demand growth of 5 per cent per year. The National Energy and Energy Efficiency Plan was launched in 2008 which aims to develop renewable energy to meet 15 percent of the country’s energy demand and to increase the use of energy-saving methods.  The total … Continue reading →

Energy Sector in Jordan: Perspectives

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is an emerging and stable economy in the Middle East. Jordan has almost no indigenous energy resources as domestic natural gas covers merely 3% of the Kingdom’s energy needs. The country is dependent on oil imports from neighbouring countries to meet its energy requirements. Energy import costs create a financial burden on the national economy and Jordan had to spend almost 10% of its GDP on the purchase of energy in 2019. In Jordan, electricity is mainly generated by burning imported natural gas and oil. The price of electricity for Jordanians is dependent on price … Continue reading →
