20%
renewable energy by 2020
Time03:54
Raising the share of renewable energy from
8.5% to 20% in the overall energy consumption
is a necessary contribution to the global
fight against climate change and towards
better control over our energy dependence.
The various uses of renewable energy are
examined: electricity through wind and hydraulic
energies; electricity or heat through geothermal
and solar energies; electricity, heat, and
biofuel coming from biomass. The EU is a
world leader in the use and deployment of
technologies that exploit renewable energy
sources, providing over 350.000 jobs and
an annual turn-over of € 30 billion.
Ugo
Conti's Spider Boat - KQED QUEST Time 09:12
Bay Area engineer Ugo Conti has sailed the
world, but has always suffered from seasickness.
A queasy stomach became his motivation to
design "Proteus" -- a spider-like
sea craft made for smoother sailing. He
designed the Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel
to cross the ocean while flexing with the
movement of the waves. And it may change
the way people take to the high seas.

Finavera
Renewables' AquaBuOY
Time02:22
The AquaBuOY is a floating buoy structure
that converts the kinetic energy of the
vertical motion of oncoming waves into clean
electricity.
Finavera Renewables Inc. is developing the
technology, along with wind energy projects
worldwide. Finavera Renewables Inc. is a
publicly listed company (Toronto Venture
Exchange, ticker symbol FVR) that is dedicated
to developing clean, sustainable forms of
electricity.

Inflatable
Solar Collectors
Time 01:16
CoolEarthSolar.com has a patented idea for
inflatable solar collectors that are much
cheaper than polished mirrors to concentrate
sunlight onto Photovoltaic chips. Their
design is 400x cheaper than polished aluminum
mirrors, will withstand 130 mph winds, lasts
a year, repairs with tape, takes 15 minutes
to change out, costs $2 per balloon, or
18 cents per watt, compared to $5 per watt
for conventional installations, and has
a minimal effect on the ground underneath
the array!

Solar
Tower Energy
Time03:12
This is a demonstration video of solar tower
technology. This technology could be used
to separate hydrogen from water. Hydrogen
could then be used to fuel automobiles using
fuel cell technology which uses hydrogen
as fuel.
This is the future project in Australia.
It will be ready in 2012.
Solar
Islands (TM) Time 02:46
CSEM is developing a new concept for the
large-scale transformation of solar energy
into hydrogen and electricity at very low
cost. The plan is to build large “Solar
Islands” floating in the sea. These
giant floating islands will be fitted with
solar thermal panels which will convert
solar energy into electricity and/or hydrogen.
CSEM started a project to design and built
a first prototype of such a solar island.
The aim of the project is to validate the
concept and prepare the construction of
large islands. The prototype will be built
and tested in the desert of the United Arab
Emirates. The project is funded by 5 mio
US$ by the Gouvernment of the emirate Ras
al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Rotor Kite Time 01:27 In the near future you will be able
to generate electricity with Rotor kites.
Much like windmills they are a renewable
resource. The rotor also offers the convenience
of portability.
Renewable
Energy From the Deep Ocean
Time03:51
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) process
and an ideal location in Puerto rico
Global warming and climate change are causing
problems on planet earth. So how do we extract
energy from earth systems in a more sustainable
way? In this program we see deep ocean water
(DOW)employed as a condenser in an amonia
turbine energy cycle. Sustainable and renewable
Energy from the sea via OTEC is a viable
option for energy load systems. Additional
applications of DOW in air conditioning,
agriculture, and aquaculture has been successfully
demonstrated.
Wave
Power: How It Works
Time 0:54
A silent but informative introduction to
how wave power works. The power in our seas
is vast - and wave power is at an innovative
stage. According to government and industry
figures, wave and tidal power combined could
meet 12.5 per cent of today's electricity
demand - economically and practically -
by 2025.It's an opportunity we can't afford
to let slip.

Huge Energy Producing Machine From Wave
Power. West Wave - Location Wave Hub,
10 miles off Hayle on north coast of Cornwall
Project scope Up to 7 Pelamis Wave Energy
Converter, Turbine height 120-150 metres
long
Total power Up to 5MW Status, Pre-planning
The West Wave Project would: Supply enough
electricity for up to 3,000 homes
Displace around 11,000 tonnes of carbon
dioxide emissions per year
Ocean Prospect We are developing West
Wave jointly with Ocean Prospect, a subsidiary
of Wind Prospect.Wave Hub West Wave will
be located at Wave Hub which is being
developed by the South West Regional Development
Agency. Wave Hub is effectively an underwater
"socket" providing the necessary
infrastructure to connect West Wave and
3 similar wave energy projects to the
electricity grid. A planning application
for Wave Hub was submitted in June 2006
and deployment is expected in 2008/09.
Pelamis West Wave will utilise Ocean Power
Delivery's Pelamis Wave Energy Converter
which is rated at 750kW. The Pelamis is
120-150 metres long, 3.5m in diameter
and weighs approximately 750 tonnes.
