One segment of the alternative fuel market that has been recently gaining plenty of popularity are biofuels. The definition for biofuels is any liquid fuel that originates from renewable ... Sat, 12 Dec 2009 21:21:54 GMT http://www.our-energy.com/news/india_solar_power_expansion.html http://www.our-energy.com/news/india_solar_power_expansion.html India looks to be ready to launch massive "Solar Mission" under the National Action Plan on Climate Change. Under this National action plan India should install 1,000 MW of solar power every year by 2013. Leading energy experts believe that if this solar expansion goes well it could lead to massive solar power installed capacity of 20,000 MW by the year 2020. Thats an ambitious goal for ...

At the close of 2008, three-quarters of the nearly 121 GW of the world’s wind generating capacity was operating in the IEA Wind member countries. In the IEA Wind member countries, 17,000 MW was added in 2008 for a total of close to 92 GW of generating capacity ...

The world’s dependence on the non-renewable energy sources (fossil fuels) is thorn in the eyes of many environmentalists and scientists across the globe. It is really no surprise why there is global effort to cut down the dependence on fossil fuels and develop an economically viable and scalable alternative fuel source that will significantly reduce massive emissions of CO2 ...

This however would require a serious improvement of wind energy sector in Europe because offshore wind farms are currently meeting just 0.3% of total EU electricity demand. In order to achieve such bold targets wind ener ...
