Bridgewater Dairy in Williams County, Ohio has fired up two generators at its new anaerobic biodigester facility and began flowing green power to Buckeye Power and Ohio's rural electric cooperatives. Buckeye Power has signed a contract with Bridgewater Dairy to purchase all of the electricity and use it to provide green energy to the state's 24 electric cooperatives. The facility's output is determined by the amount of methane gas produced by the anaerobic digestion process. Generation has...

A U.S. official says meeting energy needs in the 21st century while fighting global warming will be one of the biggest challenges humanity has faced. U.S. Department of Energy Undersecretary for Science Raymond Orbach says meeting that challenge will demand "transformational breakthroughs in basic science." He cited as one example the development of artificial versions of photosynthesis, the natural process that plants use to produce energy from water and sunlight. Artificial photosynthesis,...
A U.S. energy official has acknowledged that responding to global warming while meeting energy needs will be one of the greatest challenges faced by humanity. Raymond L. Orbach, the U.S. Department of Energy's undersecretary for science, reaches that conclusion in a two-part podcast entitled "Confronting Climate Change," published Tuesday as part of the American Chemical Society's Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions series. Orbach says this challenge will require "transformational...
U.S. chemists at Ohio State University say they have developed a catalyst that can very efficiently convert ethanol and other biofuels into hydrogen. Ohio State Professor Umit Ozkan said the new catalyst makes hydrogen from ethanol with 90 percent yield, at a workable temperature and using inexpensive ingredients since it doesn't contain precious metals, such as platinum or rhodium. "Rhodium is used most often for this kind of catalyst and it costs around $9,000 an ounce," Ozkan said. "Our...
By James Thalman Deseret News Using the sun combined with nature's way of turning solar power into life-sustaining energy can be captured, artificially induced and could provide enough power in less than an hour to run the house, the car and bring on an era of true energy independence. The power of solar is not on the grand scale of collectors spread over square acres in the west desert, says Daniel Nocera, a widely cited chemist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who is scheduled...
By Hagadone, Zach The Department of Energy and Nuclear Regulatory Commission submitted to Congress a licensing plan for the Next Generation Nuclear Plant Aug. 15, moving the Idaho-based project one small but important step forward. "The licensing strategy ... provides a description of the ways in which current NRC light-water reactor licensing requirements need to be adapted for the NGNP project," project development director Phillip C. Hildebrandt said in an email. The reason current...
By Hagadone, Zach Idaho public utility regulators approved an application from Idaho Power Co. Aug. 8 to purchase power from the proposed anaerobic digester plant at the Big Sky Dairy outside Gooding. Owned and operated by Washington-based DF-AP#1 LLC, the 20 year contract is for 1.5 megawatts of power starting Feb. 14, 2009. Anaerobic digesters produce power by using high heat conditions to spur bacterial conversion of raw animal manure into sugar, organic acids and hydrogen. When the...
