Waste to energy technology provides a way to turn municipal solid waste into a source of energy to generate electricity. So, not only does it offer a solution to get rid of massive amounts of garbage we accumulate, but it can actually turn this garbage into something that can benefit the population immensely. Various waste […]

A second level comparison between the types of waste to energy technology methods including the cost variances, feasibility and success rates.

The 8 leading sources of renewable energy that will supply half the world’s power by 2050 The following is a list of sources of renewable energy that are especially promising in two aspects: competitiveness and abatement potential. 1.Onshore Wind This is one of the main sources of renewable energy power, as wind technology is the […]

The world of organics has been around for many years. It has taken a few generations of humans to finally wake up to the detrimental effects of pesticides, insecticides and mass planting that doesn't offer renewable soil and land. The benefits of organic food are many, but are there any disadvantages of organic food?

1. Electric Vehicles Fossil fuel alternatives include electricity. With vehicles like the Zenn electric car being offered electricity is becoming a viable option for transportation. The Zenn electric car has batteries which are more efficient, so fewer plug ins are required and the vehicle can go longer before being recharged. No fossil fuels are needed […]

Sugar cane biofuel has been called a miracle biofuel by many around the world for a number of reasons. There are many types of biofuels, and each biofuel production has pros and cons. One of the reasons that sugar cane biofuel is considered a great option is because it does not require much energy to […]

What is switchgrass ethanol? This is ethanol that is produced using switchgrass as the feedstock, and it has many of the ethanol fuel pros and cons. Ethanol subsidies help switchgrass ethanol production, and helps this sector stay competitive in the alternative energy industry. This native grass has many benefits when it comes to biofuel production. […]

What are ethanol subsidies, and where do they fit with the ethanol fuel pros and cons? Ethanol e85, gasohol, and other types of fuel include ethanol in varying amounts, but why does this industry deserve ethanol subsidies? Some say it does not, and they blame the production of this biofuel for higher food prices around […]

Cellulose ethanol is different from the first generation of this alternative fuel, because conventional ethanol is made from corn and other soft starches. This has led to critics of the first generation fuel to contend that alternative fuels take away from the global food supply and contribute to world hunger and famine in certain areas. […]

Cellulosic ethanol production is the process of creating cellulose ethanol from feedstocks, and this process requires a few different steps. Cellulosic ethanol is the next generation of this biofuel, because it does not require food crops that are also used by the global population or fertile land that is used to grow the global food […]
