In September 2008, the Port of Blyth authority announced that it was planning to build a biomass power station on the redunadant Bates Colliery site to the north of Blyth. In May 2009, Port of Blyth selected renewable energy company Renewable Energy Systems (RES) as the developer for the power station. The station is expected [...]
EIPs also refer to industrial parks where a “green” approach has been taken towards the infrastructure and development of the site. This can include green infrastructure related to Renewable Energy Systems; stormwater, groundwater and wastewater management; road surfaces; and transportation demand management. Green building practices can also be encouraged or mandated EIPs are often used [...]
By: danielWhen windmills are mentioned the visions that spring to mind most are Holland, Norfolk, or the large commercial wind farms dotted throughout the UK. Modern domestic wind turbine construction is of an entirely different proportion. Immense awkward structures are replaced with state of the art technology which has the ability to generate enough electricity [...]
By: Alan WulzIf we individually see this word ‘ENERGY’ then we can say that “Energy is defined as the ability or the capacity to do work”. And we use energy to do work and make all movements. When we eat, our bodies transform the food into energy to do work. When we run or walk [...]
By: danielWhy choose wind energy? Firstly it’s free, secondly it won’t run out and thirdly, it is available to 90% of the UK unless tall building or geographical features cause obstruction to the wind. Building a generator is relatively simple, choosing a reliable wind energy company can be useful, although it is entirely possible to [...]
Renewable energy systems are growing fast today in part this is due to higher costs to consumers. One common form of renewable energy is the one that is derived from the sun. Solar energy, as it is called has been in use since ancient times. Solar energy is being used it to give light, heat homes and to even cook food.
Is there really a necessity of alternative energy sources today, and should you use it to run your home too? There are many homeowners around the world today that have developed their own renewable energy systems at home, using them to generate free electricity to power up multiple electrical appliances…
