Our American-made 1.0 MW wind turbine implements a lighter and far less complicated design than traditional wind turbines which provides significantly lower operations and maintenance costs and greater reliability.

Principal Ideas behind our Wind Turbine Designs

In wind turbine design, the amount of construction material is proportional to the loads that have to be sustained by the wind turbine. 

Our 1.0 MW wind turbine design minimizes fatigue loads during normal operation. 

With over 30 years of research and development in wind turbines, we have developed a flexible design for the blade, hub, yaw drive, and tower which evens out the impact of turbulence and wind shear. Our latest research incorporates proprietary engineering through extensive simulations that precisely calculate the eigenfrequency oscillations of the entire system and designs around high component loads. The result is a wind turbine that is lighter and more reliable than much heavier and more expensive "Danish topology" turbines. 

Our wind turbines that are deployed in the field have performed at over 98% reliability, with no major component failures in normal and extreme wind conditions.

What is B100 Biodiesel?

B100 Biodiesel - also referred to as "Neat Biodiesel," is a renewable fuel for diesel engines and turbines that is made from natural oils (either virgin oil or recycled/waste vegetable oil). 

B100 Biodiesel can be used in its' pure, 100% Biodiesel (B100 Biodiesel) form or mixed at any concentration with petroleum diesel for us in existing diesel engines or turbines with little or no modification.

B100 Biodiesel has the following benefits:

  • Biodiesel is very easy to use. B100 Biodiesel can be blended with petrleum-diesel at any time in your fuel tank. In post-1994 vehicles no conversion of the vehicle is required. Older ones may have rubber fuel lines and/or seals in the fuel system. B100 Biodiesel will gradually swell rubber and degrade it. Viton is resistant to B100 Biodiesel and you may need to replace your fuel lines/seals with it. 

  • B100 Biodiesel has up to 95% fewer emissions. Greenhouse Gas Emissionsnitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carcinogens are all greatly reduced.

  • B100 Biodiesel is both renewable and sustainable as it is made from vegetable oil, animal fats (i.e. poultry fat or beef tallow) virgin vegetable oils or recycled/waste vegetable oils.

  • B100 Biodiesel is non-hazardous and is less toxic than sugar!  There are no governmental requirements or regulations to call out HAZMAT should there be a spill of B100 Biodiesel.

  • Regarding the sustainability of B100 Biodiesel - in a recent cradle-to-grave life-cycle analysis, B100 Biodiesel came out very positive in a "Net Energy Balance study. One study found that B100 Biodiesel yields 3.2 units of fuel-product energy "output" for every unit of fossil energy consumed ("input") in its life cycle. The only biofuel that exceeds the Net Energy Balance of B100 Biodiesel at 3.2 to1  is Biomethane, which comes in at 7.7 to 1 in a Net Energy balance analysis.

  • To produce one unit of "dirty diesel" fuel requires 1.2 units of fossil resources.

  • B100 Biodiesel is produced locally, helps farmers and creates American jobs. Best of all, B100 Biodiesel helps our country become energy independent and ends our dependence on dirty oil from middle eastern counties and OPEC.
     

According to a report by the United Nations:

"It is estimated that Greenhouse Gas Emissions
trading markets could be worth $2 Trillion by 2012."

What is "Renewable Energy?"

"Renewable Energy is defined as any energy resource that is naturally regenerated over a short time scale and derived directly from the sun (such as thermal, photochemical, and photoelectric), indirectly from the sun (such as wind, hydropower, and photosynthetic energy stored in biomass), or from other natural movements and mechanisms of the environment (such as geothermal and tidal energy). Renewable energy does not include energy resources derived from fossil fuels, waste products from fossil sources, or waste products from inorganic sources."

Why We Need Renewable Energy NOW!

Global warming and climate change are symptoms of a sick planet and the results of unrestrained "dumping" of huge amounts of pollution - in the form of carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.

The vast majority of carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions comes from "dirty" fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) used in making electricity at power plants and dirty fuels (gasoline and petroleum diesel) that run our internal combustion engines in our cars, trains, planes, and trucks. Our planet is home to millions and millions of internal combustion engines that run on dirty fossil fuels - whether they are fueled with gasoline for running our cars and lawnmowers or running on diesel fuel in the engines of trucks and ships like the very large crude carriers that transport the crude oil all around the world...... every internal combustion engine that is running on dirty fossil fuels is dumping millions and millions of tons of carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions into our atmosphere - which is aggravating and exacerbating our sick planet - and making manmade climate change and global warming more difficult to resolve through manmade remedies and solutions.

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Since the Year 1750

 
##

World CO2 since 1750 (cubic feet)

The carbon clock tracks total carbon dioxide emissions in metric tons since 1750.

Since 1750, humans have emitted over 5 trillion pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Roughly half of this has ended up in the oceans where it is beginning to damage the coral reefs. The other half is still in the atmosphere and causing global warming. Each pound of CO2 takes up as much space as a 500 pound person.

The formula (which should be good for a year or two) is:
C(t) = 2.58 ×1012 + 1240×t, where t is seconds since the start of 2007.

C is tonnes (metric tons) of carbon dioxide emissions.
2205 x C gives pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.

That comes to over 43 billion tons/year or over 86 trillion pounds/year.

Carbon dioxide (2) = 1 carbon atom with 2 oxygen atoms.
Carbon has relative weight 12 and Oxygen 16.
Therefore, it takes only 12 pounds of carbon to make 12+16+16 = 44 pounds of Carbon Dioxide (CO2).


"The basic insight is to realize that global warming, the geopolitics of oil, and warfare in the Persian Gulf are not separate problems --- they are aspects of a single problem, the West's dependence on oil."
- R. James Woolsey, former CIA Director


We believe "carbon free energy" and "pollution free power" are the best possible solutions for the many economic, environmental and political/geo-political and societal problems caused by fossil fuels. We must  become less dependent on unstable, foreign oil and energy supplies and reduce our "addiction" to fossil fuels so that we can become energy independent - so that we will not be held hostage by counties with large supplies of fossil fuels such as Iran or Russia.

Since energy and power are the lifeblood of our economy - and we need to discontinue the use of all fossil fuels to stop/reverse the pollution from carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions - how do we provide for the energy and power that we need that keeps our economy healthy? The answer and the future is "renewable energy."

Renewable energy includes; B100 Biodiesel, Biomass / Biomass Gasification, Biomethane, E100 Ethanol, Geothermal, Solar, Waste to Energy (including Waste to Fuel and Waste to Watts) and Wind.  These renewable energy technologies produce "carbon free energy" and "pollution free power."  This will reverse the problems caused by fossil fuels which include global warming and climate change.  Renewable energy technologies will improve our country's energy security, economy and reduce the trade deficit.

Biomethane -
the Perfect, Renewable Fuel?

As Biomethane is a near perfect fuel, and since Biomethane represents the best of all biofuels in terms of Recycling Carbon, and has the highest Net Energy Balance, and as Biomethane technologies such as Anaerobic Digesters and Biomass Gasification development increases and becomes even more commonplace, one of the fundamental questions is: what is the size of the potential biomass resource supply in the U.S.?

In April 2005, the DOE and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) co-published a report assessing the potential of the land resources in the U.S. for producing sustainable biomass: Biomass as Feedstock for a Bioenergy and Bioproducts Industry: The Technical Feasibility of a Billion-Ton Annual Supply. Looking at forestland and agricultural land, the two largest potential biomass sources, this study estimates that the U.S. can sustainably produce up to 1.3 billion tons of biomass feedstock by mid-century. This would be enough feedstock to produce 60 billion gallons of B100 Biodiesel and E100 Ethanol with today's technologies.

This study doesn't address the opportunities for Biomethane production from biomass feedstock or Biomass Gasification technologies. Some recent estimates indicate that Biomethane could replace up to 50% of present natural gas consumption in the U.S. and in some countries, such as Iceland, Biomethane already provides 100% of the natural gas requirements.

There are many assumptions in the Billion Ton Study report that impact these estimates, but we believe the estimates reasonably reflect the potential availability and impact of biomass resources.

Of the total estimated resource, the study suggests that forestlands in the contiguous United States can produce approximately 368 million dry tons annually. This projection includes 52 million dry tons of fuelwood harvested from forests and woodlands, 145 million dry tons of residues from wood processing mills and pulp and paper mills, 47 million dry tons of urban wood residues including construction and demolition debris, 64 million dry tons of residues from logging and site clearing operations, and 60 million dry tons of biomass from fuel treatment operations.

Biomass to Biofuels By "converting" biomass wastes – such as municipal solid waste, sewage sludge, crop residues, energy crops, and manure – into biofuels, this will resolve the energy, environmental and political problems in an economical and environmentally sound manner - that will produce over one million new jobs.

According to Jeff Seisler, Director of the European Natural Gas Vehicle Association, "Biomethane has an outstanding potential as a multifaceted solution to multifaceted social problems: urban and agricultural waste management, water purification, and clean air. Urban and agricultural waste can be processed into usable methane, as can the sewage during the water purification process. Cleaning and compressing the gas for use in vehicles then provides cleaner air than petroleum-consuming vehicles."

Continuing, Mr. Seisler states about Biomethane; "this environmental 'closed loop waste-to-energy-to-fuel used in vehicles that again truck the next load of waste to the energy processing plants-substitutes fossil fuels with a renewable resource and reduces greenhouse gases 100% as compared to over gasoline vehicles (on a well-to-wheel basis).

According to Peter Boisen Chairman, of ENGVA, "various well respected European research institutes now estimate more than three times better fuel output per hectare of land used than if going for ethanol or biodiesel. Sweden currently has a 51% Biomethane share, and Switzerland 37%. France, Norway, Germany and Austria use smaller amounts for vehicles. Iceland, completely without natural gas, uses 100% biomethane in its NGVs," Boisen says.  Continuing, Boisen adds, "China, India, Korea, the Ukraine, Spain and Italy are other examples of countries now starting up projects where Biomethane will be used as a vehicle fuel." 

"With the energy efficiency of the gas production process at 50% to 70% it's hard to think of a more socially acceptable and economic energy value for the transportation sector," Boisen says.

"Governments need to get out of their liquid fuel paradigm to refocus and balance their policies and communications to support the development of a Biomethane
infrastructure. In Europe Biomethane has the potential to replace 20% of the petroleum consumed in the transport sector by 2030."
