An engine innovation conceived and tested by Sandia researchers has the potential to cost-effectively reduce emissions of soot and nitrogen oxides, encourage the use of renewable fuels, and maintain or improve engine performance.
Ducted fuel injection, developed by Charles Mueller at Sandia’s Combustion Research Facility, is able to fine-tune the fuel-air mixture in an engine to the point of eliminating between 50%-100% of the soot depending on the engine’s instantaneous speed and power level.

If you care about clean energy, the BLM is a major leader in making solar, wind, and geothermal energy possible.
Since 2009, BLM has approved 57 renewable energy projects (34 solar, 11 wind, and 12 geothermal) with potential for over 15,000 MWs, or enough to power more than 5 million homes and create some 26,000 jobs. There are currently over 17,000 MWs of renewable energy projects permitted on public land, including 2,379 MWs of renewable energy projects approved prior to 2009.
BLM is focused on approving renewable energy development on public lands in accelerated, but environmentally-responsible manner; ensuring protection of signature landscapes, wildlife habitats, and cultural resources.
For the years 2016 and 2017, the BLM will process 7 renewable energy projects (5 solar and 2 geothermal) representing 1337 MW, or enough electricity to power over 400,000 homes.

Yesterday I ventured out to scout out some wind turbines just outside of the Snowdonia National Park. I wanted to see how close I could get to these bad boys, purely so I can return on a clear evening. The sheer size of one of these turbines is immense, check out the size of the sheep to the right!
Just I was walking around the other turbines, I heard gun fire!!! Followed by somebody shouting, so I literally ran back to the car as fast as I could. I haven't moved that fast for a long time lol. At least I know not to turn too many lights on when I come back in the dark ;)
I know the local people around this village really object to these being built on the land, but the amount of wind this place gets, it would be crazy not to use the readily available energy. Love them or hate them, I think they're here to stay for a long time to come, not mention they will be everywhere in the future years.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the energy sector globally. The forced shutdown of many economies worldwide has resulted in decreased energy demand and a decline in oil prices. While Mauritius is heavily dependent on fossil fuels to power its economy, with imported fossil fuel supplying 80% of primary energy requirements, the current uncertainties have made the need to diversify the energy mix of the island only more evident. The Government of Mauritius has a target of using renewables to supply 35% of the country’s energy needs by 2025.

Farm equipment at Doug Jernigan Farms, a three-generation family farm and employer who, a few months earlier, refinanced a first of its kind in the nation, swine-turkey waste to renewable energy system (RES), with the assistance of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) Renewable Energy for America Program (REAP) loan guarantee in Mt. Olive, NC, Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2015.
Typical systems separate methane gas for energy, solids are disposed or repurposed and liquids are cleaned. This new system addition takes the watery manure effluent to a new and as Mr. Jernigan say’s “prolific profit” producing state through savings and sales. “There is an opportunity for the farm to make money doing a good thing for the environment.”
The system handles about 75,000 gallons of swine and turkey waste effluent each day; piped to a series of tanks, and mechanical equipment that separates solids, and liquids. The current treatment facility biologically removes ammonia nitrogen with bacteria adapted to high-strength wastewater; removes phosphorus via alkali precipitation; and reduction emissions of odorant compounds, ammonia, pathogens, and heavy metals to the environment. The water is cleaned for reuse in the swine and turkey operations that wash more manure into the cycle of the system.
The new methane reactors (under the framework of what will be a C-span structure) use an endothermic gasifier that heats the waste solids to very high temperatures to the point that they release gases. The clean methane gas will fuel an engine that turns a 300KW electrical generator producing electricity; ethanol will help fuel farm equipment, and resulting potash solids can be used or sold for agricultural fertilizer. Excess amounts of electricity, that the farms cannot use, will be sold and transmitted to the local energy company, for use by residents and businesses; renewable energy credits (REC) are sold to a different energy company.
With a system that eliminates all ammonia and other odor creating compounds, Mr. Jernigan says, “What I’m doing is good for the environment; it’s good for the farm in the respect that you’re getting rid of waste that you’re creating in a high-tech way. There’s no footprint. It’s just gone.”
Doug and Aileen are lifelong farmers and they have three grown children that work in the farm operation as well. Their farm currently operates a 21,600 finishing farm operation, an eight house turkey operation, a 250 head cow /calf operation. The farm also consists of 2,400 acres of row crop production (cotton, corn, soybeans and wheat).
Doug Jernigan’s grandfather started farming here in 1941, and he continues the tradition with his business that began in 1974.
In talking about the greater potential of this technology and what others should consider, Jernigan says, “I see it as a win-win thing.”

*The treatment system (without the methane reactor) was documented to remove, on a mass basis, approximately 99% of total suspended solids, 98% of COD, 99% of TKN, 100% ammonia, 100% odor compounds, 92% phosphorus, 95% copper, and 97% zinc from the flushed manure. Fecal coliform reductions were measured to be 99.98%
