EIA: natural gas-fired reciprocating engines are being deployed more to balance renewables

Green Car Congress

Before 2010, reciprocating engines typically had no more than 9 MW in capacity, but in recent years, larger units that range from 16 MW to 19 MW have been installed throughout the United States. Power plants with large reciprocating engines are often located in states with significant renewable resources, specifically wind generation.

Solar fuels company Joule commissions first plant to demo commercial readiness, launches Joule Fuels subsidiary to advance direct solar-to-fuels platform

Green Car Congress

Joule has commissioned its first SunSprings demonstration plant in Hobbs, New Mexico ( earlier post ), where the company will prove its scalable platform for solar fuel production using a fraction of the land and capital investment required for algae-derived or agricultural biofuels. The initial output of the SunSprings plant will be ethanol.
