Fascinating. I’m very leery of bio-engineering like this. How many well intended introductions have had disastrous long term consequences? (Nutria, Kudzu, etc, etc. ) But I can clearly see the economic and environmental benefits of creating trees that grow quickly, are disease resistant, and create high quality wood. Hmm.

Wave energy seems like it holds some promise for a renewable resource. Essentially, it is concentrated wind energy, since waves are formed by wind across large areas of water. Capturing it has it difficulties, marine environments are tough on moving parts, tough to maintain, and frequently create energy that must then be transported somewhere. Searaser [...]
Biofuels, based on non-food feedstocks, are huge right now, and bound to get bigger. There are certainly not without issue, as many don’t seem to be very resource efficient, but if they can be brought to a reasonable point of their net energy consumption and cost, they may prove to be one the [...]
Congratulations to these guys. I met Zach and some of the rest of the team when we were competing in the California Clean Tech Open against them a few years ago. I thought at the time it was a strong product, good timing, and a good plan. Plus, genuinely nice people. Happy to see them [...]
Aren’t we all?
They’ve raise $12.5 Million in the past, have a new pilot plant coming online ina few days, and one of their founders developed the technology that helped make Evergreen Solar succeed. Seems like a strong combination if the new technology proves to work.

A new website is coming that aims to make it easier for providers and consumers of energy efficiency products, in particular solar, to connect.
Seems like just the thing we need.

Earth2tech.com has a good review of cellulosic plants that are being built. I personally hold great hope for cellulosic ethanol as being a very promising technology for the future. Let’s keep out fingers crossed.
This report includes plans, and some interesting notes on where the funding has come from.
