Summerleaze have decided to sell Green Hydrogen (http://www.green-h2.com/), either as a going concern or the assets. Unlike many hydrogen businesses, it is actually producing and selling renewable hydrogen at the moment – 30 Nm3/hr of H2 and 15 Nm3/hr of O2, taking 200 kW (180 kW for the electrolysis and 20 kw parasitics) from our landfill-gas […]

Read MoreThe difference between LCV and HCV (or Lower and Higher Heating Value, or Net and Gross) is clearly understood by all energy engineers. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' definition.
Perhaps I could comment as someone with direct experience as a project leader in gas turbine power generation/CHP technology. The difference between LCV and HCV (or Lower and Higher Heating Value, or Net and Gross) is clearly understood by all energy engineers. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ definition. The numerical difference between the two is […]

Read MoreA note on the importance of fast acting mitigation measures Dr. Mark Barrett 20.03.09
Of critical importance is global warming over periods of decades, the time integrated radiative forcing of greenhouse gases, and so early, small reductions in GHGs can be as important as later larger reductions, especially given the increasing concern about ‘tipping points’. Measures such as motorway speed reduction (< 5 years implementation) and car downsizing (~15 […]

Read MoreFrom Dr John Constable. Note on the Renewable Energy Foundation
Dear Mr Andrews:
I posted the following response re. REF yesterday, but it seems stuck in the moderation queue. Could you please accelerate this.
Regards,
John Constable.
Note on the Renewable Energy Foundation
The postings concerning REF on the Claverton list have been drawn to my attention, and since there is a good deal of confusion in some of the remarks I thought it might be helpful if I, John Constable, Director of Policy and Research for REF, were to post a response. [More…]
1. Renewable Energy Foundation (REF) is a UK registered charity, and has been since 2004. It has no political affiliation, and publishes data and analysis on the renewable sector, as well as engaging in educational activities.
2. When first created Noel Edmonds kindly agreed to be chairman, and he remains in that role.
3. REF is guided by its board of Trustees, and advised by the Technical Advisory Group (see http://www.renewable-energy-foundation.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=108&Itemid=72). Those listed on TAG are not members of REF, but independent experts who have agreed to advise the Foundation on policy and the conduct of research.
4. REF does not, now, have members; it has Friends of the Foundation, and the charity is supported by private donation only. The identity of these donors is public information, though they are numerous and cannot all be listed here. Some of the largest charitable trust making donations to charities have given money, including the Rausing, and the Cadogan trusts. In addition, the entrepreneur Vincent Tchenguiz gave generously to support the creation of the Renewable Energy Data files, described in more detail below.
5. Renewable Energy Forum Ltd is the charity’s not-for-profit sister company, and was created at the same time as the charity.
6. The organisation has not recently divided, though in the last two weeks Renewable Energy Foundation has moved to a new web site, www.renewable-energy-foundation.org.uk, while Renewable Energy Forum has taken over www.ref.org.uk. For the time being the latter website will host the archive of the charity, while material is gradually transferred.
7. REF aims to improve understanding of the renewable sector by supporting and in some cases publishing technical research.
8. For example, in 2005 we supported two articles on Danish wind power in Proceedings of the ICE, both by Hugh Sharman.
‘Why Wind Power Works for Denmark’, Proceedings of ICE: Civil Engineering, 158 (May 2005), 66-72
‘Why the UK should build no more than 10 GW of Wind Capacity’, Proceedings of the ICE: Civil Engineering, 158 (November 2005), 161-169.
