The Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg will today make the official opening at CET 1400. Aker Solutions has designed and delivered the amine plant, which is one of the two plants at the centre. After several years of R&D, the capture technology shall now be tested and verified in a large plant. The main objectives are to verify operational parameters (performance data) and to increase the technical and economical knowledge regarding operation of an industrial scale plant.

Ask any Soldier in the field what a hot shower can do for troop morale. Unfortunately, there are places they go where such simple luxuries are scarce.

Four cadets presented a way to make it possible now and placed first in the inaugural Rapid Equipping Force Grand Challenge.

The Monterey Peninsula Unified School District spends about $1 million a year in energy consumption.

Board President Debra Gramespacher has a plan that could eventually reduce those costs to zero.

OJSC RAO Energy System of East (RAO ESE) expects to build a combined heat and power plant (CHPP) in the town of Sovetskaya Gavan in the Khabarovsk territory by 2015, RAO ESE's General Director Sergey Tolstoguzov told journalists.

According to new audit from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Inspector General, the DOE met more than 9% of its electricity needs in 2010 either by purchasing renewable energy credits or paying a premium for "green power," with prices ranging from 44 cents per MWh to $26.67 per MWh.

In an effort to promote renewable energy, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires that by fiscal year 2013 at least 7.5% of a federal agency's annual electricity consumption must be from renewable sources. In fiscal year 2010, three years before it was required to do so, DOE "acquired approximately 461,000 megawatt hours from renewable sources, representing over 9% of its annual electricity consumption of 4.8 million megawatt hours," Deputy Inspector General for Audits and Inspections Rickey Hass said in an April 30 audit report.

Build more neighborhoods like Dinkytown and Lowertown. Make streets more inviting, and dress up skyways. Humanize buildings cursed by blank brick walls or dark windows.

Connect smaller projects with larger ones. Allow for playfulness in urban neighborhoods. Celebrate diversity. Make the invisible visual through signs and other approaches.

A Norwich MP has won an assurance in Parliament that support for innovation in low-carbon heat and power generation, such as that demonstrated with unique technology at the University of East Anglia, will be given further consideration.

Speaking in the House of Commons, Simon Wright, Norwich South MP, asked the energy minister, Greg Barker, how the government was supporting the development of combined heat and power bio-mass plants.

Mr Barker said the government was looking to be as "flexible and pragmatic and ambitious as possible" and would "explore" the inclusion of dual-fuel bio-gas and fossil-fuel installation.

OJSC RAO Energy System of East (RAO ESE) is prepared to lower the price of OJSC Far East Distribution Grid Company (DRSK) in order to sell it to OJSC Federal Grid Company UES (RTS: FEES), RAO ESE's General Director Sergey Tolstoguzov told journalists.

The EMerge Alliance - an open industry association leading the rapid adoption of safe direct-current (DC) power distribution standards for commercial buildings - today announced the formation of a new Campus Microgrid Technical Standards Committee at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) 2012 National Convention and Design Exposition.

Chaired by Guy AlLee, of Intel's Energy Research and Sustainability Labs, the new committee will focus on establishing a standard for the integration of DC microgrids throughout a building or campus. The standard will focus on improved efficiency of integrated on-site power generation, storage, distribution and use by capitalizing on the utilization of native DC power. With input from member organizations, the new Campus Microgrid standard will integrate the other EMerge Alliance standards that enable the use of DC power at various levels and in a variety of spaces. The resulting set of standards will further advance the Alliance's mission to help building designers and owners achieve greater flexibility, sustainability and savings.
