Sentences with phrase «other electricity generating technologies»

Although you state you support nuclear, you seem to have a much better understanding of the anti-nuclear talking points than of the facts about nuclear — such as safety and costs (compared with other electricity generating technologies).

The development of all other electricity generating technologies is governed by cost (cost includes the issues of safety, security of supply, reliability, etc).

Not exact matches

For example, generating efficient, renewable energy is a priority of the federal government, so businesses involving Cogeneration (using one fuel to simultaneously produce heat and electricity) or renewable energy technologies will find more government grant opportunities than others.

The anaerobic wastewater biogas technologies — which extract methane to generate green electricity or to fuel boilers and other factory equipment — are particularly applicable to food, beverage and agribusiness companies, or any industry that has a biological waste stream or wastewater with high organic carbon or COD (chemical oxygen demand) of natural origin that can be broken down into biogas by anaerobic bacteria.

Other new technologies — such as micro grids that generate and store power for individual neighborhoods and automatic switches that can find open lines when some lines go down — can also help keep the electricity flowing.

Existing technologies allow oil producers who can not pump the natural gas into a pipeline to simply reinject it back underground, use it to generate electricity or, by installing a so - called Fischer — Tropsch conversion system, change the former nuisance gas into liquid fuel, among other options.

The presidents welcomed: (i) a grant from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency to the China Power Engineering and Consulting Group Corporation to support a feasibility study for an integrated gasification combined cycle (I.G.C.C.) power plant in China using American technology, (ii) an agreement by Missouri - based Peabody Energy to invest and participate in GreenGen, a project of several major Chinese energy companies to develop a near - zero emissions coal - fired power plant, (iii) an agreement between G.E. and Shenhua Corporation to collaborate on the development and deployment of I.G.C.C. and other clean coal technologies; and (iv) an agreement between AES and Songzao Coal and Electric Company to use methane captured from a coal mine in Chongqing, China, to generate electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Neither does it require the water that is needed for cooling which many other technologies that generate electricity rely on.

As part of his climate change initiative announced in June, President Obama declared, «Today I'm calling for an end of public financing for new coal plants overseas unless they deploy carbon capture technologies, or there's no other viable way for the poorest countries to generate electricity.»

A major driver in these efficiency gains has been our increased investment in cogeneration — a technology enabling us to capture heat generated from electricity production that is otherwise wasted, and use it in other industrial processes.

Requires FERC to: (1) issue to each generator of renewable electricity a REC for each megawatt hour of renewable electricity generated after December 31, 2011; (2) issue three RECs for each megawatt hour of renewable electricity generated by an existing distributed renewable generation facility; and (3) review the effect of issuing three RECs and to reduce such number for any given energy source or technology to ensure that such number is no higher than is necessary to make such facilities using such source or technology cost competitive with other sources of renewable electricity generation.

Our costs have fallen 58 per cent in the last five years, and we know projects that tap into Alberta's high - quality wind resources can produce electricity more affordably today than any other generating technology aside from combined - cycle natural gas plants and gas co-generation facilities.

One interesting technology is often called an artificial leaf, because it uses light energy not to generate electricity directly (photovoltaics) but to synthesize fuel or fuel precursors from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and other inputs (photosynthesis).

[5] The German Offshore Wind Act is a part of Germany's broader Renewable Energy Act (EEG 2017), which provides for technology - specific (including OSW - specific) energy auctions aimed at driving down the cost of electricity generated by OSW and other renewable generation methods (Kilgus and Bader 2016).

Recently, however, some wind - generating plants have proven to be economically feasible in areas with good wind resources, compared with other conventional technologies, when coupled with the Renewable Electricity Production Tax Credit (described below).
