Energy and Clean air are important for todays enviornment. Technology already brought us many hybrids. But we need almost everything to be cleaner and more Efficient . At the Washington International Renewable Energy Conference Volvo displayed seven trucks that operate on seven renewable fuels, including biogas, biodiesel, and hydrogen. The company’s goal is to make trucks that are carbon dioxide-neutral, Jan-Eric Sundgren, senior vice president of environment and public affairs of Volvo, said in a presentation. Not only is transportation effected by technology but also energy harnessing.
Flexible solar cells from Global Solar Energy are used on its foldable solar panels, which can be used to power electronics. The company sells the panels to people and organizations, such as campers or the military, in need of portable solar panels to generate power in remote locations. The company also puts its cells into traditional hard-top solar panels.
Also Bio-Coal!
Biomass, which is burned for heating and electricity generation, is attracting more attention. It was featured in many talks at the WIREC conference. NewEarth is making what it calls E-Coal, made from a variety of materials, including seaweed, algae, agricultural waste, animal waste, coconut hulls, bamboo, and switch grass. The product is designed as a replacement for coal burned in power plants. The company claims that E-Coal is greenhouse gas-neutral or -negative, and that it eliminates sulfur and mercury emissions.
