There is a country that has proven to be sustainable and has invested another 100 million euros in the transition rivers of historical communities power plants. This marks the beginning of a new phase for the industry. Between this news and the key to cleaning the rivers contaminated It seems that sustainability is reaching new levels.
We are at a crucial moment for the planet. After many years of rampant pollution, people have realized that changes need to be made to continue enjoying nature Tierra as we know it.
This is how several countries have started working on projects to improve their energy value. Furthermore, many companies around the world are working tirelessly to improve our living standards through green inventions.
Under these circumstances the Biden administration has injected $16 million into two pilot plants for wave energy and one for using river currents. He United States Department of Energy (Department of Energy, DoE) has announced that it will finance two projects to harness tidal energy with $6 million.
This is in the context of the Investing in initiative USA. In addition, it will engage in a third research and development project of a device to harness the energy of river currents, for which an amount of US$9.5 million has been selected.
This project transforms rivers into power plants: the United States has gone too far
By DO They warn: “Tides and currents are incredibly predictable, meaning these resources can help balance other renewable energy sources and make a significant contribution to a 100% clean energy network.”
The three projects are funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Actthe purpose of which is to encourage American leadership in the development of energy generated from tides and currents.
This “supports the objectives of the Biden-Harris administration to help communities achieve their energy priorities and develop the marine energy sector supply chain and workforce.”
“With marine energy we can harness the power of the ocean and the ocean sustainably rivers, providing rural and remote communities with clean, reliable energy. “The announced projects are part of the federal government’s largest investment to advance technology to harvest energy from ocean tides and river currents.”
“While helping decarbonize hard-to-reach coastal communities across the country and increase their energy independence and resilience by increasing the use of locally generated energy,” he says. Jennifer M. GranholmMinister of Energy of USA.
The United States is transforming rivers into power plants
The U.S. Department of Energy Bureau of Water Power Technologies has provided support to several tidal energy implementation projects over the past decade.
“This investment now reflects that the industry is in a phase of development that requires the transition from testing with a single device to large-scale testing with multiple devices together.”
The announcement marks the first of five phases of a total investment of $35 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act. A regulation that aims to “support the development and installation of one or more tidal energy devices that may become a commercial project.”
Selected projects to create power plants in the United States
Among the chosen projects is a team led by Orca’s power and light cooperative (The stage), whose base is located East Sound, Washington. Their proposal is to install a tidal energy turbine (two megawatts) in the Strait Rosarioin the San Juan Islandslocated in the state Washington.
The purpose of The stage is to establish a pilot tidal energy program to provide area residents with a “reliable and resilient local electricity supply.”
Then there is a team led by ORPCbased on Portland, Maine. The intention is to install two tidal energy devices (between one and five megawatts) at a location in the inlet of Cooklocated in Alaskaoff the coast of the remote area of East Forelandon the peninsula of Kenai.
They want to show the world that the Tidal Energy Initiatives are in the Inlet Cook They are possible. It is the largest source of this type of energy USA.
The United States will build power plants in the least expected places
The first competitive phase, expected to last a year, will evaluate proposed sites and prepare plans for permitting, environmental oversight, site health and safety, marketing, stakeholder engagement, community benefits, supply chain acquisition and selection and qualifying the technology.
New plants arrive in the United States: their origins will surprise you
The phase ends when the projects submit the necessary permit or permit applications to regulators. Completing the first phase, the Ministry of Energy will select a project to advance to the next four phases and obtain up to an additional $29 million.
USA will transform rivers of historical communities power plants, another demonstration of its commitment to sustainability. Another piece of information about the area making headlines is the renewable fuel produced by cows (and it’s not methane).
