Green Energy Made Feasible with Innovations in Geothermal Power Plants
A green energy company based in Iceland has made recent advances in geothermal technology (http://www.kaldara.com) that will make it possible to phase out smog-producing coal plants with geothermal power plants.

Geothermal Heat Pumps: Superior New Technology
A Geothermal Heat Pump (http://www.Green-Energy-Info.com/Geothermal-Heat-Pumps.html) (GHP) is an apparatus that extracts heat from below the surface of earth. It works on the principle that heat flows from higher temperature substances to lower temperature substances via conduction or via convection (air currents). Geothermal Heat Pumps take in heat from the earth or water bodies to provide space and water heating. This works since the earth traps nearly half the sun's energy that is received by the earth.

Is Renewable Energy Technology Really Available to Homeowners
With the rising energy costs and effects of global warming so prevalent today, many people are wondering if there is truth to the concept of renewable energy technology There also appears to be confusion between alternative energy technology and renewable energy technology

Research Shows Laing Thermotech Instant Hot Water Recirculation Pumps Save Energy and Water
More than 80 percent of customers say they install Laing Thermotech's instant hot water recirculation pumps for the convenience and time savings of having water instantly available at the faucet. Independent research reveals significant economic benefits from using the Laing Instant Hot Water Recirculation Pumps.

Green Energy and Development of Alternative Energy
In March 2009, Qatar Airways is launching its direct flights between Doha and Houston, two leading energy capitals of the world. This is further indication of our nation's long term dependence on foreign oil: a major challenge facing the nation that poses a threat to our country's national security. But today, breaking our oil addiction does not seem like an unattainable goal as President Barack Obama, in his first week in office, reaffirmed his campaign promise of achieving energy independence. Mr. Obama reiterated his determination to end U.S. reliance on oil from the Middle East and Venezuela over the next ten years.

DuPont Takes Action to Address HCFC Air Conditioning and Refrigerant Shortfall

Wilmington, Del. (Vocus) June 11, 2009 -- With the next deadline in the phaseout of hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), including HCFC-22 (R-22) refrigerants, looming by year-end, DuPont today announced an expansion of its reclaim and retrofit program for the air conditioning and refrigeration service aftermarket. The projected 27.5 million pound R-22 shortfall is a result from a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed HCFC allocation rule that will go into effect Jan. 1, 2010.

Measures to conserve R-22 by increasing efforts to reclaim it or by retrofitting equipment with R 22 replacements like DuPont™ ISCEON (http://www2.dupont.com/Living_Tomorrow/en_BE/construction_offering/energy/isceon.html)® refrigerants are two critical ways business owners and facility managers can avoid potential negative financial impact to their operations. DuPont provides a reclaim program for its refrigerant distributors who participate as DuPont Authorized Reclaim Centers to collect and return recovered refrigerants. Recently, DuPont expanded and improved its reclaim offer to equip distributor reclaim centers with easy, flexible and convenient options for contractors and equipment owners to promote the return of recovered R 22. DuPont continues to offer leading retrofit solutions to replace R-22 in existing systems.

“With this new projection, it’s become increasingly clear that the industry will need to rely on the reuse of recovered and reclaimed R-22,” said Cynthia C. Green, vice president and general manager – DuPont Fluoroproducts. “Additionally, the actions we are taking now to retrofit equipment to HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) such as DuPont™ ISCEON® refrigerants puts our customers in a better position to avoid anticipated supply issues as the phaseout of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), including R-22 draws closer. Taking a longer term view, DuPont continues to use its science to lead the industry in the development of replacement products to address not only the issue of ozone depletion but also that of global climate change.”

DuPont™ ISCEON® refrigerants have saved supermarket chains up to $25,000 per retrofitted store - resulting in the lowest total cost of ownership of any R-22 alternative. ISCEON® refrigerants have been field tested and demonstrate up to 12 percent more energy savings than R-22 in low temperature equipment, and offer 32 percent lower global warming potential than R404A.

DuPont is a science-based products and services company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere.
