Can anyone tell me what can be done to manage energy use in a sustainable way? and as an active citizen what can i do?

IBM today announced that Danish energy company Vestas Wind Systems will use IBM big data analytics software and powerful IBM systems to improve wind turbine placement for optimal energy output. Turbine placement is a major challenge for the renewable energy industry, and Vestas expects to accelerate the adoption of wind energy internationally and expand its business into new markets by overcoming this challenge.

We have all heard of biofuel for a car, but for a plane? Japan Airlines was the first Asian carrier to use biofuel blended with conventional fuel. Up next, we industry experts confirming that biofuels are a viable fuel source for cars, buses, and yes even planes. From the fields of North America to the airports of Asia, biofuel is moving from the test beaker to commercial reality. Japan Airlines was the first Asian carrier to fly using blended biofuel in what is seen as an increasing trend as more sourcing becomes available. Main ingredient Camelina, a second-generation feedstock mixed with jet fuel, grows in rotation with wheat crops, and Sustainable Oils CEO Tom Todaro says the renewable biofuel produces no harmful CO2 emissions. [Tom Todaro, CEO, Sustainable Oils]: “The primary goal of this to show sustainability, energy independence by region, and a carbon offset that allows people to feel comfortable that when they’re flying the in the air, they are not heating up the earth.” The 90-minute JAL demo flight from Tokyo’s Haneda Airport used a blend of 50 percent kerosene and a mix of mostly camelina, jatropha and algae. JAL, Boeing and engine-maker Pratt & Whitney are part of the testing process to confirm performance and commercial potential, and Boeing expects biofuel use on commercial flights in three to five years. [Nicole Piasecki, Boeing Japan President]: “In 3-5 years we really do believe that it is a viable solution for the industry to begin using these fuels …

Product DescriptionThe Honeywell Wind Turbine is a gearless wind turbine that measures just 6 feet (1. 8 m) in diameter, weighs 185 lbs. (84 kgs) and produces up to 1500 kWh per year depending on height and location. The Honeywell Wind Turbine’s BTPS perimeter power system and unique design of multi-stage blades allows the system to react quickly to changes in wind speed. This ensures that the maximum wind energy is captured without the typical noise and vibration associated with tradi. . . More >>

I would like to set up a solar power array in my apartment, but I’d like to just bypass a storage battery. If I set up a solar power array and hook it up to an inverter that will then tie into a power socket into the grid itself, do I need a battery? I just want to save money on my electricity bill and not have a standby in case of a power failure.

Innovations in solar and hydropower as well as in energy storage are shaping markets and future energy systems. We’re taking these technologies to the next level — with solutions that ensure excellent returns. Because we care that sustainable power generation pays off.
