Not exact matches

The panel narrowly approved Bingaman's amendment aimed at boosting use of distributed generation technologies such as residential solar power by easing their connection to the grid.

Utility - scale solar power plants and second - generation biofuels such as algae have led the field in recent financing rounds, but funding is now branching into less developed technologies such as bioplastics, green building materials and water desalination.

Does it makes sense to replace old coal - fired power plants with new natural gas power plants today, as a bridge to a longer - term transition toward near zero - emission energy generation technologies such as solar, wind, or nuclear power?

I think there will always be a place for some large, baseload [power] plants, et cetera, even as we have, I think, an increased emphasis on distributed generation [from technologies such as solar or fuel cells].

«The sixth - generation Camaro builds on what has made the current Camaro such a success, with more power, more agile handling, and more technology,» said Ken Parkinson, design vice-president, GM China and GM International at the launch event.

The study finds that the growing need for a secure energy supply is driving power users to invest in distributed generation, using technologies such as small engines or turbines, fuel cells or photovoltaic systems.

At the same time, this technology is opening up new business areas, such as the development of intelligent energy management systems or the consolidation of decentralized generation systems into virtual power plants or decentralized single home storage systems into virtual large - scale storage systems.

The growing demand for the services provided by distributed generation will act as a gateway for new power generation technologies, such as fuel cells.

And, as a result of human ingenuity and the free market (which got us where we are today), new technologies will come along that will eventually replace fossil fuels for many of the lower added - value end uses, such as electrical power generation or transportation.

In our judgment, laws ought to specify requirements that generation technologies must meet, such as low pollution, affordability, power quality, and domestic power sources, and leave the means of realizing the goals to technologists and the market.

Other studies of nearly decarbonizing the power sector by mid-century show that more efficient, advanced biopower technologies using low - carbon feedstocks, such as agricultural residues and energy crops, could provide a modest contribution of up to 15 percent of U.S. electricity generation (NREL 2012, UCS 2013).

The green proposition of electric cars, especially the plug - in variety, is that by promoting the development of electricity generation and energy storage technology development (in the form of energy storage devices such as batteries), electric cars are not only reducing the need for gasoline, but also creates pull factors for the development of grid - connected renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy by creating new electricity demand and provide energy storage solutions to address the problems of the intermittent nature of solar and wind power.

To accelerate the market penetration of RE, various additional measures have been assumed, such as a speedier introduction of electric vehicles combined with the implementation of effective communications systems and technologies, smart meters and faster expansion of super grids to allow a higher share of variable RE power generation (PV and wind) to be employed.

The overarching objective of this study is to analyse the scale and scope of investments in low - carbon technologies in power generation, transport, buildings and industry (including heating and cooling) that are needed to facilitate such a transition in a cost - effective manner, while also working towards other policy goals.

We already have such technology available: Nuclear power generation; solar power generation; wind power generation; geothermal.

Other provisions in the act — such as tax incentives that encourage the adoption of energy - efficient technologies, a shift to more combined heat and power generation, and the adoption of real - time pricing of electricity (a measure that will discourage optional electricity use during peak demand periods)-- would cut electricity demand enough to avoid building an additional 37 coal - fired power plants.

Such a tax would make emissions more expensive; discourage carbon - intensive power generation; and it would allow the market to decide which environmentally more - friendly technologies would be competitive enough to take its place.
