Thermal Solar Goes Where PVs Can’t

Cars That Think

Leading the boom is the photovoltaic (PV) panel, which converts sunlight into electricity using semiconductors. In recent years, however, CSP development stalled amid the rapidly falling cost of solar PV. Today, nearly 120 projects operate worldwide, and Spain claims more than a third of total installed capacity.

Innovative hybrid rotor compressor design can extend productive life of stripper wells; improved transport and efficiency, lowered operating costs

Green Car Congress

The increased thermal transfer allows a larger amount of the input energy to be efficiently converted. By reducing the capital and operating costs of compression, natural gas producers can continue to operate stripper wells at very low flow rates and low natural gas prices. natural gas that contains water vapor or hydrocarbon liquids.

ARPA-E Selects 37 Projects for $106M in Funding in Second Round; Electrofuels, Better Batteries and Carbon Capture

Green Car Congress

Today’s technologies for making biofuels all rely on photosynthesis—either indirectly by converting plants to fuels or directly by harnessing photosynthetic organisms such as algae. This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. Electrofuels: Biofuels from Electricity. Engineering E.
