An Amazing 250+ watts of continuous power from this Turgo Micro Hydro system. I travel to an off grid Yurt to meet Eric in Western North Carolina. He shows off his Micro Hydro Turgo install. This is making all the power he needs to run basic appliances like coffee maker, mini split air conditioner and lights. This setup has a coanda screen feeding 700 feet of 4 inch pvc pipe penstock. The head pressure is 57 feet of drop resulting in 25psi at the turgo. Eric has a few nozzle sizes that he is able to swap to for flow rate change in the creek. In the summer he is running a single 5/8″ nozzle making 250 watts all the time.

Making clean energy isn’t enough: We also have to move it.

In the near future, the energy made in the US is going to be much greener. The country’s current goal is for solar plants alone to make nearly half of US electricity by 2050. But we can’t just build solar plants where coal and gas plants used to be. They have to be built where it’s… sunny. And wind turbines have to be built where it’s windy. The problem is, that’s not always where the people who need the power are.
The distance from energy source to energy need is about to get a lot bigger. And the US is going to need more high-voltage transmission lines. A lot more. As soon as possible. While solar plants can be built relatively fast, high-voltage transmission projects can take up to 10 years. So experts say we need to start proactively building them, right now.
This is the second of five videos we’re releasing on climate coverage this week. You can watch the first video on extreme heat 🌡 and what cities are doing to combat that here: https://youtu.be/ZQ6fSHr5TJg

Wind is a valuable renewable energy source. Limitations like cost and space needed to build make it hard for some wind turbine projects to get off the ground. Hopefully, advancements can be made so that there is a way to store the energy that is produced via wind turbines in the future.

Over 7 billion people need energy to live but with fossil fuels in decline, how will we keep the lights on?
Fossil fuels are no longer the only, the best or even the cheapest solution to our energy demands. Mankind’s oldest solution may be the answer. to this problem. Our cavemen ancestors knew the benefit of bioenergy every time they kept warm by a wood fire.
We can use all sorts of organic matter and waste to help keep the lights on. We can use waste, residues, food waste and manufacturing by-products instead.
Our research at the European Bioenergy Research Institute (EBRI) is showing that this waste can become useful. It can be turned into clean, renewable energy – bioenergy.
EBRI conducts world-class bioenergy research ranging from fundamental research and development through to the deployment of innovative technologies. Our team of internationally-renowned researchers are focused on developing innovative methods of generating energy from biomass waste and residues.

Billion Dollar Solar Plant Failure. Huge Thanks to Lutema! Get 20% off your USA Made Masks Today: https://lutema.com/discount/tbdv20
Solar power is often talked about as a great savior in our efforts to clean up our grid. But when an adventurous company set out to build a massive 1 Billion Dollar solar farm in the Nevada Desert, things… didn’t work out too well. So What happened? Is solar power doomed, a terrible idea, or is there something we can learn from the Crescent Dune’s Solar Thermal Power Plant?

Welsh farming practises are amongst some of the most sustainable and efficient in the world relying on abundant grass and rainfall and non-intensive methods. There is however more room to ‘get greener’ to reach the #NetZero target by 2050.
Here our Red Meat Technical Officer, Dr Non Williams explains how introducing certain measures into your farms practises can mitigate the GHG’s produced. Additional benefits include improved efficiency of livestock production resulting in increased profitability.
Discover how Farming Connect is helping to increase efficiencies by working with our network of Demonstration Farms: https://businesswales.gov.wales/farmingconnect/our-farms
This film explores the evolution of our national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing awareness that our own future is bound to the life and health of wild rivers.

Oil and gas companies are electrifying assets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support ESG goals. Using an integrated EPC approach delivers fewer operational upsets, speed to market, and cost efficiency and savings. https://hubs.li/Q01gybwQ0 #OilfieldElectrification #OilfieldESG #OilfieldEPC

Simon Palacio:
The oil and gas industry has been one of the largest non-nation targets for activists seeking greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the world. Oil and gas is one of the biggest polluters in the world. So exploration and production companies have to maintain an ESG portfolio and show efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, just in order to have access to capital, to find new fields, drill new wells, and build their infrastructure. Greenhouse gas reductions is not just good for the environment. It’s good business as well.
With mounting environmental pressures driven as a means of access to capital and pressures to reduce lease operating expenses, exploration and production companies have been pushed to electrify all of their assets at almost all pieces of oilfield equipment out there, whether it be pumps or drill rigs can be electrified. Oilfield electrification is the comprehensive process that includes everything from pre-capital consulting through commissioning and closeout. We’re transitioning the power source of upstream oil and gas production assets, like your rigs and your drills from fossil fuels, which have been primarily gas and diesel to the electric grid, renewable power.
The ultimate goal of oilfield electrification is to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions in what has been a very traditionally fossil fuel equipment-driven process. Burns & McDonnell is the only EPC firm in the industry that’s offering it as an all-inclusive program. This partnership is going to bring oil and gas companies, greenhouse gas emissions reductions, fewer operational upsets, speed to market, cost efficiency and savings, routine flaring reduction, and it’s going to support ESG goals. We value a deep trust in our partnerships that has proven to deliver lasting results since 1898. Video Rating: / 5
