  Power Engineering - Norway's Statkraft to build world's first osmotic power plant 

  http://pepei.pennnet.com/display_article/308031/6/ARTCL/none/none/Norway's-Statkraft-to-build-world's-first-osmotic-power-plant/

  Norway's Statkraft to build world's first osmotic power plant 4 October 2007 - Norwegian power company Statkraft has decided to build the world's first prototype osmotic power plant adding it was also ... stepping up its initiatives to develop the technology further. Osmotic power is a renewable energy source. Calculations indicate that the technology could contribute around 1600 TWh on a global basis annually, according to the Norwegian power producer. Osmotic power is based on the natural process of osmosis. In an osmotic power plant, seawater and fresh water are separated by a membrane. The seawater draws the fresh water through the membrane, thereby increasing the pressure on the seawater side. The increased pressure is used to produce power. After ten years of research and development, Statkraft said it believe the time is now right to build the first osmotic power plant prototype and is therefore stepping up its initiatives and investments to develop the technology. With this decisio   [More...] [Less...]

Device Gives New Meaning to "Power Walking" By Devin Powell Science NOW Daily News 7 February 2008 The latest fad in self-powered wrist wear is the kinetic watch, a device that converts the momentum of a swinging arm into milliwatts. But researchers have unveiled a new accessory for your knees that puts the trendy timepiece to shame. Generating more than 1000 times more energy, the "Biomechanical Energy Harvester" may provide a green way to power the portable devices of the future. Every time you take a step, you use two different groups of powerful muscles connected to the knee. The first group pushes to kick the lower leg out. Just before full e   [More...] [Less...]

  Landfill methane providing 60 percent of BMW plant's energy 

  http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/business/5164650.html

  GREENVILLE, S.C. — The BMW plant in Greer is getting more than 60 percent of its energy from the methane gas generated at a nearby landfill, officials said. The operation, in cooperation with the Texas ... landfill firm Waste Management, captures the methane gas, which otherwise would escape into the atmosphere, and converts it to energy. Waste Management, which has gas-to-energy projects in more than 20 states, announced recently that it intends to create about 60 additional renewable energy facilities within five years — including two more in South Carolina. The two new plants will be located at landfills in Dorchester and Jasper Counties, a spokesman said. The BMW project and Waste Management's gas-to-energy plant in Kershaw County generate nearly 16 megawatts of electricity, or enough to power at least 15,000 homes for a year. The methane gas from the Spartanburg County landfill travels nine miles by pipeline to the BMW Manufacturing plant, where it fuels turbines that generate el   [More...] [Less...]
