How fast can you ramp your power plants up and down to handle the variability from wind and solar? Energy Information Administration (EIA) and IEA vastly under project ed wind and solar deployments. We did downscaling of where you would build all the wind and solar generation that the model suggested.

Pyrolysis bio-oils are produced by the thermal decomposition of biomass by heating in the absence of oxygen at more than 500 °C; fast pyrolysis of biomass is much less expensive than biomass conversion technologies based on gasification or fermentation processes. —Vispute et al.

An interim report with some of this study’s major findings and recommendations was released in June 2010. In the US, a combination of demand reduction and displacement of coal-fired power by gas-fired generation is the lowest cost way to reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 50%. Source: IEA. Click to enlarge.

Biofuel projects are going to have trouble getting financing from Wall Street this year because all of them have questions about the long term pricing of petroleum; most of them have concerns about the pricing stability of their feedstocks; and many of the cellulosic projects have concerns about the conversion technologies.

They think BYD has a shot at becoming the worlds largest automaker, primarily by selling electric cars, as well as a leader in the fast-growing solar power industry. His engineers investigate a wide array of technologies, from automobile air-conditioning systems that can run on batteries to the design of solar-powered streetlights.

is hoping to launch the Volt in late 2010 with a price tag of about $40,000. So what I see is that even if GM could sell its Volt platform vehicles in 2010 and at HALF its expected pricing, it would only leave it in with a pack of at least 4 other major players and all selling hybrid models much cheaper than GM.

According to Nissan, the company plans to introduce its upcoming electric car in Oregon in late 2010. Even if you charge your EV with electricity made from coal fired generators you reduce your car’s pollution by half. If you charge with solar, is way less. We need to stop BURNING fuel in our cars.
