headquartered in Aiea, Hawaii, has signed a Cooperative Agreement with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to receive its first $7.7 The ClearFuels proprietary thermochemical conversion process is based on its advanced High Efficiency Hydrothermal Reformation (HEHTR) technology for biomass-to-syngas conversion (BTG).

The pilot-scale project use both free (soluble) sugars and biomass (cellulosic) sugars from Ceres’ sweet sorghum hybrids grown in Alabama, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana and Tennessee. As an energy crop, sweet sorghum is an impressive producer of low-cost, fermentable sugars.

The goal is to develop an optimal generator for current energy conversion. This research into underwater coatings that prevent biofouling has the potential to positively impact all MHK systems and improve the conversion efficiency for MHK systems. DOE Funding: $160,000. Total Project Value: $192,000. DOE Funding: $160,000.

The “smart” buoys, based on integrated patented hydrodynamics, electronics, energy conversion and computer control systems, capture and convert energy from the natural rising and falling of waves into low-cost, clean electricity. The OPT PowerBuoys are point absorbers, with a linear generator for a power take-off system.

Busicom had hired Intel to develop a set of custom chips for a low-cost calculator and had sent three engineers to Santa Clara to work on the chip designs. We thought,” Hoff told Spectrum , “we could integrate this, the analog-to-digital conversion, on a chip, and then use these circuits as the basis for switching.”

See Appendix G for a speculative picture of how a 15-year transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy in Hawaii can be accomplished.) The convenience and low cost of this concept alone merit attention. For such a low average total energy usage, the PHEV can be charged at a low level of 1 kW to 2 kW from the electric grid.

Several after-market companies have done PHEV conversions of the Ford Escape hybrid and one has done a retrofit of the F-150 pickup -- see Where PHEVs Are and ICE-Conversions.) The F6 DM uses ferrous batteries, with no lithium content, that BYD says are high-energy density and low cost.
