 Scotland’s windfarm planning advice21/11/2008 - New advice for planning authorities on wind farms has been published by the Scottish Government. The Planning Advice Note (PAN) will help councils and national park authorities prepare their own guidance for considering wind farm applications to aid the development of clean, green energy across Scotland.

£2bn plan for Scottish ‘clean fuel’ plant21/11/2008 - A groundbreaking £2bn power station is planned with the potential for providing electricity for almost every home in Scotland. The proposed new-generation plant would be the biggest completed in Scotland for almost 40 years and would be the only one in the country powered by both "clean coal" and biomass fuel. If given the go-ahead, it would sit next to the existing nuclear reactor site and the coal import terminal at Hunterston in Ayrshire, with planning permission being sought next summer.

Planning nod for Eco2’s straw project21/11/2008 - Welsh renewable energy company Eco2 has won planning permission to build the UK’s largest straw-fired power plant and has revealed it will be the first in a £1bn programme to develop up to 10 biomass facilities across Europe. Due for completion in 2011, the company is to build the £80m biomass energy plant in Sleaford, Lincolnshire – the second of its kind in the UK – and one of the biggest such plants in the world.

EC identifies offshore wind’s potential21/11/2008 - The European Commission (EC) has issued a Communication on Offshore Wind Energy which identifies the importance of that industry to the Community. It says that wind energy will play an essential role in meeting the EU's target for 20% renewable energy by 2020 and achieving a secure, environmentally friendly and affordable supply of energy for European citizens and businesses.

An ill wind for renewables?21/11/2008 - The falling gas price could hit investment in expensive renewable energy projects, said Cameron Hepburn, an environmental economist at Oxford University - but that outcome is not certain. "Oil and gas price falls are not good for renewables per se," he said. "If you knew for certain that the gas price would stay low, that would be an incentive not to invest in renewables. "But I don't think people expect the gas price to stay low, because that would mean gas was plentiful and there were no problems with supply." Click here for full story |
Plumbing the oceans for clean energy21/11/2008 - For a company whose business is rocket science Lockheed Martin has been paying unusual attention to plumbing of late. The aerospace giant has kept its engineers occupied for the past 12 months poring over designs for what amounts to a very long fibreglass pipe. It is, of course, no ordinary pipe but an integral part of the technology behind Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), a clean, renewable energy source that has the potential to free many economies from their dependence on oil. "This has the potential to become the biggest source of renewable energy in the world," says Robert Cohen, who headed the US federal ocean thermal energy programme in the early 1970s.
