Alternative Energy Demystified
English | PDF | 337 Pages | 4.25 Mb
The fast and easy way to get up-to-speed on alternative energy
Because of current events, geopolitics, and natural disasters, the cost of fuel is front and center in our lives. This book provides a concise look at all forms of energy, including fossil fuels, electric, solar, biodiesel, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, and renewable fuel cells. You will get explanations, definitions, and analysis of each alternative energy source from a technological point of view. [Download]

Oil Shale Development in the United States

Oil Shale Development in the United States
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, when crude oil prices were high, government and private-sector energy experts took a hard look at the costs and benefits of extracting oil from the vast deposits of oil shale that lie beneath the western United States (much of it under government land). Oil prices soon subsided, and interest in the topic waned. With oil prices again spiking and global demand showing no signs of abating, it makes sense to reexamine the costs and benefits of oil shale development. In this report, the authors describe the oil shale resources (estimated at more than triple the proven oil reserves of Saudi Arabia); the suitability, cost, and performance of technologies for developing these resources; and the key energy, environmental, land-use, and socioeconomic policy issues that need to be addressed by government decisionmakers. The authors conclude by outlining both the challenges and opportunities for early action with regard to those policy issues. [Download]

Estimates of Undiscovered Oil and Gas North of the Arctic Circle

Estimates of Undiscovered Oil and Gas North of the Arctic Circle
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has completed an assessment of undiscovered conventional oil and gas resources in all areas north of the Arctic Circle. Using a geology-based probabilistic methodology, the USGS estimated the occurrence of undiscovered oil and gas in 33 geologic provinces thought to be prospective for petroleum. The sum of the mean estimates for each province indicates that 90 billion barrels of oil, 1,669 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 44 billion barrels of natural gas liquids may remain to be found in the Arctic, of which approximately 84 percent is expected to occur in offshore areas.

Clean Energy Trends 2008

Clean Energy Trends 2008
Amid a challenging economic outlook—plummeting housing prices, rising foreclosure rates, record-high oil prices, sinking consumer confidence, looming recession—2007 was another banner year for clean energy, with no signs of a slowdown in 2008. Solar, wind, biofuels, geothermal, energy intelligence, hybrid- and all-electric vehicles, advanced batteries, green buildings, and other clean-energy-related technologies and markets provided bright spots in an otherwise sluggish economy.
Clean Edge, which has been tracking the growth of clean-energy markets since 2000, reports a 40 percent increase in revenue growth for solar photovoltaics, wind, biofuels, and fuel cells in 2007, up from $55 billion in 2006 to $77.3 billion in 2007. For the first time, three of these are generating revenue in excess of $20 billion apiece, with wind now exceeding $30 billion. New global investments in energy technologies—including venture capital, project finance, public markets, and research and development—have expanded by 60 percent from $92.6 billion in 2006 to $148.4 billion in 2007, according to research firm New Energy Finance. {Download]

The MEDIUM-TERM Oil Market Report

The MEDIUM-TERM Oil Market Report
To understand the dynamics and trends in the oil market, accurate, timely and comprehensive information is invaluable. The International Energy Agency (IEA) strives to improve, expand and provide the best data and analysis available. With this objective in mind, we are delighted to introduce the Medium-Term Oil Market Report, a new annual publication with interim updates that will look further into the future, beyond the Oil
Market Report. We believe this additional focus will help to fill the gap that exists between our shorter-term analysis and the longer-term projections that appear in the World Energy Outlook and other IEA work.
The Medium-Term Oil Market Report provides a global overview of demand and supply trends through to 2011 based on the pressures that would develop under existing market forces and plans. We consider it a guide to the future assuming current trends persist. Any unforeseen shifts in the global economy, geopolitics, or other factors could of course produce different results. [more...]

Energy Savers: Tips on Saving Energy & Money at Home
Technological advances and the development of energy-efficient products can help American families save a lot of money. Today, American families can choose refrigerators that use the same amount of power as a 75-watt light bulb, high efficiency light bulbs that last longer and require less electricity than traditional ones, and energyefficient windows that can keep hot and cold air in and prevent hard-earned dollars from flowing out. Thanks to the development of innovative technologies, American families can make better energy choices. [more...]

Wind Energy Siting Handbook
3:57 AM |
Wind Energy Siting Handbook
The purpose of this handbook is to assist wind energy developers in addressing the regulatory and environmental issues associated with commercial-scale, land-based wind projects within the United States. It is intended to be a guidance document for use in conjunction with other available resources. The potential involvement of three levels of government –federal, state,
and local – makes a “one-size-fits-all” approach to siting impractical. This handbook is intended to facilitate navigation of a wide array of statutory and regulatory programs, some of which have significant overlap. Project impacts that may be significant in one locale may not be pertinent elsewhere. Developers must determine the specific federal, state, and local requirements that are relevant to a particular project, recognizing that not all requirements discussed in this handbook will apply to every project, and additional requirements not addressed may also be applicable.
