An example of a Capstone-powered hybrid vehicle is the Capstone CMT-380, equipped with a 30 kW gas turbine generator running on diesel that recharges Li-Poly batteries when necessary. The CMT-380 has a proposed range of 80 mi (130 km) on battery alone, but when combined with the microturbine that range is pushed to more than 500 mi (800 km).
Biogas production In the biogas upgrading process, CO 2 is separated from the methane to produce a higher quality gas. Industry Electrical power plants Combustion of biomass or biofuel in steam or gas powered generators releases CO 2 as a by-product. Energy Heat power plants Combustion of biofuel for heat generation releases CO 2 as a by ...
Biogas is a gaseous renewable energy source [1] produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste, wastewater, and food waste. Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion with anaerobic organisms or methanogens inside an anaerobic digester, biodigester or a bioreactor.
The Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) is an initiative by the South African government aimed at increasing electricity generation through private sector investment in solar photovoltaic and concentrated solar, onshore wind power, small hydro (<40 MW), landfill gas, biomass, and biogas.
The Alpena biorefinery plant in the USA. A biorefinery is a refinery that converts biomass to energy and other beneficial byproducts (such as chemicals). The International Energy Agency Bioenergy Task 42 defined biorefining as "the sustainable processing of biomass into a spectrum of bio-based products (food, feed, chemicals, materials) and bioenergy (biofuels, power and/or heat)".

Today, multi-feedstock biodiesel facilities are producing high quality animal-fat based biodiesel. [ 96 ] [ 97 ] Currently, a 5-million dollar plant is being built in the US, with the intent of producing 11.4 million litres (3 million gallons) biodiesel from some of the estimated 1 billion kg (2.2 billion pounds) of chicken fat [ 98 ] produced ...
Second-generation biofuels, also known as advanced biofuels, are fuels that can be manufactured from various types of non-food biomass.Biomass in this context means plant materials and animal waste used especially as a source of fuel.
According to several articles and news sites, the Philippines faced a power supply shortage leading to rolling blackouts across the country during the years 2014–2015. In late 2014, President Aquino requested the Congress to pass a resolution giving him emergency power to allow the government to provide additional supply and prevent a power ...
