Monty Goodell, MBA
Founder and Chairman
Renewable Energy Institute

The Renewable Energy Institute (REI) does not take a stand in the debate on global warming, and if there is, is it "anthropogenic" and not caused by the sun, sun spots, or the sun's normal cycles.  Or, is global warming and climate change caused by the water vapor in the atmosphere?

At the Renewable Energy Institute, we are waiting for the "true" scientists, doing the "real" research, to provide the science and answers, and not the phony scientists who are following the politically-motivated and profit-driven agendas of the United Nations and many countries and government leaders. These phony scientists are not interested in conducting real scientific research.  Their very livelihoods are dependent on the government grants to fund their phony research.  This "political-interference" by governments, governmental agencies, and so-called "leaders" that hand out billions of dollars for these phony scientists to conduct climate science and research,  expect the conclusions of the "research" to be tainted, skewed, flawed to support anthropogenic global warming, or climate change. Should these scientists accurately conclude in their research that they find no evidence of anthropogenic climate change or global warming, they are summarily dismissed, and black-balled from their communities and colleagues, and never again receive funding or grants.  This "politically-driven" process of providing funding and grants for real scientific research must stop.

In the meantime, far more harm is being done to our planet as well as to people and plants and animals, particularly fish, from the mercury emissions from coal fired power plants than from the coal fired power plants' greenhouse gas emissions.  We surmise that if any polar bears have died as a result of an environmental problem, it was more likely from the high levels of mercury in their food chain, than from greenhouse gas emissions. 

The Renewable Energy Institute is supporting and advancing renewable energy technologies, as well as reducing and eliminating greenhouse gas emissions and the fossil-fuel problems related to America's oil addiction and ending our dependence on foreign oil.  The renewable energy technologies we support are already deemed to be economic, viable and practical. Solutions such as Solar Trigeneration energy systems (see www.SolarTrigeneration.com for more information) for any kind of facility or building - office buildings, shopping centers, data centers, university campuses, etc. 

Since 2003, a Solar Trigeneration energy system has been providing 100% of the power and energy for a 5,300 sq. ft. office building near downtown Los Angeles, and doing so without any connection to the electric grid, whether its 12 noon or 12 midnite!  

The Renewable Energy Institute is also involved in research and advocacy of "Net Zero Energy" (see: www.NetZeroEnergy.com for more information) and "Net Zero Energy Buildings" (see:  www.NetZeroEnergyBuildings.com for more information).  Net Zero Energy Buildings generate as much (or more) energy than they use, and export their excess power to the grid.

Climate Change, Global Warming or Global Cooling?

The past 10 years indicates the opposite, that there has been a moderation of "global warming" and that global cooling has taken place. "Climate change" is always taking place, from one day to the next, and one week to the next, as well as one year to the next. Climate change is a dynamic process.  The REI would request that the researchers and scientists stay out of politics, and not be politicians, and that the politicians would stay out of the way of the scientists and researchers, and let them do their work, and that the politicians not pretend to be scientists.  

Everybody, scientists and politicians, just do your job so that we can come up with the scientific answers that form the basis of policy.

In the meantime, as there may still be 30 years of research before there are conclusive answers.  Can we "risk" 30 years of our children and our children's future, if there is a link between climate change and greenhouse gas emissions?

Simultaneously, there is a finite amount of petroleum, and many scientists and engineers believe we have well into Hubbert's "peak oil" analysis, that espouses that when 50% of domestic crude oil production has been reached, that there will be such significant upward demand on prices of the limited supplies of oil production, that the U.S. economy will experience severe economic, social, and political turmoil.

Hubbert's Peak Oil predictions were "right on" and this is validated as the U.S. in the early 1970's produced about 60% of its' oil demand and imported 40%.  That equation has flipped since then, because our domestic oil production has been on the decline since 1970, so now, due to our declining domestic oil production, we have to import 60% of our oil supplies, to meet our country's oil/energy demands.

How severe our economic calamity and next "oil shock" will depend upon a number of factors, including when this occurs, as well as the following:

1.  the dependence of the individual country upon its own crude oil production to meet its energy needs and to subsidize consumer imports; 

2.  the rate of relative decline in crude oil production; 

3.  the degree of difficulty encountered in replacing missing energy inputs; 

4.  the degree to which our country had prepared in advance for this inevitable geological and economic calamity.

Examples of past "oil shocks" and the economic and political calamities that followed:

United States: Our peak crude oil production of domestic oil occurred in 1970; the first "oil shock" and oil crisis followed in 1973 with the Arab/OPEC Oil Embargo.

Iran: Their peak crude oil production occurred in 1974; They had their islamic revolution 1979 that overturned government and replaced it with radical islam.

Soviet Union: Their peak crude oil production was in 1989; what happened next? 
Their country disintegrated and the collapse of the Soviet Union followed in 1991. 

Indonesia: Their peak crude oil production was in 1991; their financial and government crisis followed in 1997.

Iraq: Iraq's crude oil production was in 1989; they then invaded Kuwait (for their oil) in 1991.

Using Mr. Hubbert's predictions, that beginning around 2000  we would see peak (global) oil production, then, if the country's not weaning themselves off of their oil addiction, and had not begun making the switch to renewable energy, that the negative economic and political calamities would soon follow, including ever-increasing prices of energy that is from fossil fuels. 

Now is the time to begin weaning ourselves off of fossil fuels and making the transition to and increasing the use of renewable energy. If you don't believe in climate change, or global warming, GREAT! Join us in the switch to renewable energy and a fossil-free economy!

America's "Clear and Present Danger"

America Has INCREASED its' Dependence on Foreign 
Sources of Energy (Crude Oil & Other Fossil Fuels) by 50% Since 1973.

America is even more "addicted" to foreign oil today, than we were in 1973 - 1974 when OPEC, Saudi Arabia and other suppliers from the Middle-East  stopped selling us their fossil fuels, and created a significant blow to our economy.

This shortfall of over 13 million barrels/day (65% of America's Energy Requirements) means that we need to import 13 million barrels of oil every day from producers and suppliers that are located in Foreign Countries.  

Simply put, about 65% of the gasoline in your car's gas tank, comes from a foreign country.  EVERY day, the U.S. MUST import 13 million bbls of oil from foreign countries and foreign suppliers to meet demand as there has been no alternative. 

At $80/barrel of oil, this also means that $1,040,000,000.00 American Dollars leave our country, EVERY DAY, to foreign countries/suppliers of our fossil fuels, to pay for the energy we need. 

That's $1 Billion EVERY day leaving our economy, and going to support a foreign country's economy. 

Talk about our foreign trade deficit..... nearly $400 Billion each year, leaves our country to pay for our oil addiction and the energy we need.  To be exact, that's $379,600,000,000.00 American Dollars.

America needs to quickly transition to Energy Independence. 

Renewable Energy is the Only Way America Can Achieve Energy Independence. 

Million of new and sustainable American jobs would be created here at home, if we would end our addiction to foreign fossil fuels, and quickly transition to an economy based on renewable energy and renewable fuels, produced here in the U.S.A. 

The good news is that today, America already has all of the Renewable Energy Resources and Renewable Energy Technologies needed to make American Energy Independence a reality. 

According to Monty Goodell, Founder and Chairman of the Renewable Energy Institute, "our increased dependence and reliance on foreign energy supplies represents a Clear and Present Danger to our national security, our economy, and the lives and livelihood of every American. Energy - including the energy we use from imported fossil fuels, is the very "lifeblood" of the American economy as it is for every industrialized country.  An economy dies without it's lifeblood of energy. This Clear and Present Danger we face is far more serious than the problems related to greenhouse gas emissions.  And while greenhouse gas emissions are very serious issue, in the long-term, pales in comparison to America's vital national security interests and America's economic stability in the short term.  For this reason alone, America needs to transition away from its addiction to foreign energy supplies. And America's abundant renewable energy resources such as the energy we receive from the sun, and renewable energy technologies such as concentrated solar power (CSP) plants - can supply 100% of America's power requirements with a concentrating solar power plant measuring 75 miles by 75 miles, located in the Southwest U.S.  By generating America's power from concentrating solar power plants, America resolves its' short-term Clear and Present Danger as it relates to importing its energy from foreign countries, and the long-term problems relating to greenhouse gas emissions."

Continuing, Mr. Goodell states that "too many Americans have forgotten what happened to us in 1973, when the Arabs and OPEC brought the United States economy to a screeching halt during the OPEC Oil Embargo.  This happened because they (mainly the country of Saudi Arabia) disagreed with our foreign policy and is the reason why they "turned off the tap" of our need for their oil supplies. When Saudi Arabia and OPEC stopped the vital flow of oil to our country in 1973, they caused an "oil shock" that severely and negatively impacted our economy. 

Mr. Goodell's question for us to ponder is, "do these countries who sell us 60% of our daily energy requirements, like us and our foreign policy, or might they leverage our addiction to their fossil fuels, and turn off the tap to make us adjust or revise our foreign policy??  Like any addict, America's foreign policy may be held hostage to its addiction, and in this case, our addiction to foreign oil, may over-ride our national interests."

Have American's forgotten the gas shortages and long lines at 
their gas stations to get gas during the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973? 

"Apparently so."  Mr. Goodell states that "in 1973, America was 'addicted' and 'over the barrel' of foreign oil to the amount of 40%.  Forty percent of our energy 'needs' in 1973 came from countries - many of which didn't like us then, and I'm afraid, many of them still don't.  The difference between 1973 and today - is that today we receive 50% MORE foreign oil now than we did in 1973.  And now we know about the problems relating to greenhouse gas emissions that we didn't know then.  America needs to change course, and change course now, in terms of its' energy supplies and how we keep America's economy strong, without the threat of being held hostage to a middle-east tyrant or regime, that could once again, turn on us, and turn off our supply of foreign oil." 

Remember ????

" Sadly," Monty Goodell continues, " most Americans have forgotten the long lines of people waiting in their cars - lined up and waiting for gasoline at their nearby gas station, with lines that were many blocks long.  And, after waiting 4-5 hours, many even waiting overnight in many places, to finally take their turn to fill up their car with gasoline, only to find that the gas station had run out of gas." 

"Let me Repeat.... That was 1973 when we imported 40% of our daily energy requirements in the form of crude oil from overseas, and from foreign countries - and many of these from countries that don't like us.

Today, over 35 years later, America has yet to learn the lesson.  We cannot continue our reliance on energy from foreign countries that supply us with 60% of the crude oil that our refineries use as a feedstock for producing gasoline and diesel fuel for our cars and trucks comes from overseas. 

America is "over the barrel" and it's not our barrel, but the barrels of oil that we are addicted by and owned by other countries.  Why have we not learned the lessons we needed to learn in 1973 when we were cut-off from the vital energy supplies we need? 

Countries like China, are growing rapidly, and have an insatiable need for crude oil. China, with their booming economy, is increasingly growing in its clout and control over international supplies of crude oil - whether they do this through their ability to buy as much oil as they need on a daily basis, or whether they simply but American drilling rigs, technology, and explore and produce oil and gas from their own fields. China, is buying large amounts of oil for their country, and causing upward pricing on declining supplies. What happens if Russia, with all of their oil and natural gas, along with China and Venezuela, with or without the help of OPEC, decided to NOT sell oil to us????

To be sure, greenhouse gas emissions are a problem, and to some, greenhouse gas emissions are also a Clear and Present Danger, but not to the extent that it presents an imminent Clear and Present Danger. 

America's reliance for 60% of our energy "needs" coming from foreign suppliers is un-acceptable.

The "driver" to get America to begin reducing and eliminating fossil fuel use should be our nation's national security and the welfare and safety of its citizens. And this can all begin with developing and investing in our own renewable energy resources and renewable energy technologies, let's start by putting solar on every rooftop that has a clear and unobstructed view of the Southern sky. See www.RooftopPV.com  or  www.DistributedPV.com  for more information.  Let's create incentives begin with adopting a national "Feed In Tariff" as Germany did in 1990. 

America, we simply do NOT have the luxury of time on our hands.  We need to end our dependence and reliance on foreign fossil fuels, especially from countries that don't like us! We need to rapidly begin expanding renewable energy resources and renewable energy technologies from our vast and abundant renewable energy resources, such as; solar, solar energy systems, solar cogeneration, solar trigeneration, "solar on every roof," waste to energy, waste to fuel, biomass gasification, B100 Biodiesel, Biomethane, Synthesis Gas, geothermal, E100 Ethanol (from sugar cane and NOT from corn), and wind, where it makes economic sense."

What is a Power Purchase Agreement? 

A Power Purchase Agreement is a legal agreement wherein our clients agree to buy either the power (electricity) or the power and energy (hot water, steam and/or chilled water for air-conditioning) - or both - directly from us, for a term of 10 to 20 years, where we have installed, own and operate our solar energy systems. 

In nearly every case, once we have installed our solar energy systems at our client's facility, we can immediately reduce our (commercial) client's electricity expenses by 10% over what they were paying for their power electricity from their electric utility.

The right Power Purchase Agreement, solar cogeneration or solar trigeneration energy solution, may save your company hundreds of thousands, and possibly millions of dollars over the term of the agreement.  

Simultaneously, having the wrong or poorly drafted PPA can cost your company thousands or millions of dollars.  You wouldn't consult a brain surgeon to treat your child's broken bone!  Selecting the wrong attorneys, law firm or team to promulgate or re-negotiate your Power Purchase Agreement can leave you "powerless" and penniless - and still requiring the skills and expertise of competent and qualified professionals to resolve the situation.     

Because a Power Purchase Agreement is at the "heart" and underlying foundation of our projects, we can help your business with the selection and oversight of PPA's. 

We can help your city or community create a Municipal Utility District or Public Utility District that may then qualify for our very competitively priced energy and electricity rates. Now is the time for cities, municipal and governmental clients to consider having our company install one of our renewable power and energy systems that will generate "clean" power and energy, lower costs, and avoid the coming electricity shortages and grid congestion problems!  

Products and services provided by us include the following power and energy project development services: 

• Project Engineering Feasibility & Economic Analysis Studies

• Green Tag (Renewable Energy Credit, Carbon Dioxide Credits, Emission Reduction Credits) Brokerage Services; Application and Permitting

More about Power Purchase Agreements

A Power Purchase Agreement is "behind" almost every power plant.  A PPA is a contract involving the generation and sales of electricity - which is normally developed between the owner of a power plant generating the electricity, and the buyer of the electricity. PPA's can be quite lengthy agreements that may exceed 100 pages in length and take several months to even 1-2 years to finalize.  

The basic information contained in a Power Purchase Agreement include the following items:

          * Definitions
          * Purchase and Sale of Contracted Capacity and Energy (such as steam, hot
             water and/or chilled water in the case of cogeneration and trigeneration
             plants
          * Operation of the Power Plant
          * Financing of the Power Plant
          * Guarantees of Performance
          * Penalties
          * Payments
          * Force Majeure
          * Default and Early Termination
          * Miscellaneous
          * T&C's

What are "renewable energy resources?"

"Renewable energy resources" include; 

• Biomethane  

• B100 Biodiesel

• E100 Ethanol

• Hydrogen Fuel

• Solar Power & Energy (for homes and businesses)

• Synthesis Gas

• Utility Scale Solar Power Plants

• Wind Power Generation

What is "carbon free energy?"

"Carbon free energy" is energy that is produced or generated without producing any carbon dioxide emissions.  "Renewable Energy Technologies" generate carbon free energy and are also so clean and pollution free, they are also referred to as "pollution free power" technologies.

While nuclear power plants generate "carbon free energy," they are neither Renewable Energy Technologies, or considered pollution free power due to the hazards and risks associated with the nuclear materials and nuclear waste streams. 

Renewable energy technologies that are used in the production and generation of carbon free energy include;

• Anaerobic Digesters

• Biogas Plants

• Biodiesel Refineries

• Biomass Gasification

• Concentrating Photovoltaic

• Concentrating Solar Power

• Decentralized Energy

• Dispersed Generation

• Distributed Generation

• Distributed PV

• EcoGeneration

• Evacuated Tube Collectors

• High Concentration Photovoltaic

• High Voltage Direct Curent

• Hydrogen Fuel Cells

• Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells

• Net Zero Energy

• Net Zero Energy Buildings

• Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cells

• Plasma Gasification

• Solar Absorption Cooling

• Solar Cogeneration  

• Solar Desalination (Clean Water and Clean Power!)

• Solar Electric Power Systems

• Solar Energy Systems

• Solar Heating And Cooling

• Solar Power And Energy

• Solar Thermal Collectors

• Solar Trigeneration

• Thin Film Photovoltaics

• Trigeneration

• Waste To Energy 

• Waste to Fuel 

Energy Efficiency Measures and Energy Conservation Measures such as Automated Demand Response and Demand Side Management and Energy Efficient Lighting, while not "generating" carbon free energy, provides significant increases in efficiencies, thereby reducing the overall need for energy, which may come from central power plants that are very inefficient and generate significant amounts of carbon dioxide emissions.

Even nuclear power plants generate "carbon free energy."   These are just some examples of carbon-free renewable energy. The purpose of all these methods is to combat the increase in greenhouse gas emissions and reduce our impact on the environment as a whole.

What is "Net Zero Energy^sm?"

Net Zero Energy^sm - when applied to a home or commercial building, simply means that the home or buildings generates as much power and energy as they consume, when measured on a monthly or annual basis, and with an onsite, renewable energy system, such as our Solar Trigeneration^sm Energy System.

What is a Net Zero Energy Building^sm?

A Net Zero Energy Building^sm produces as much energy as it uses over the course of a year. Net Zero Energy Buildings^sm are very energy efficient. The remaining low energy needs are typically met with on-site renewable energy. 

First of all, understand that there is no such thing as a "zero energy building!" EVERY building uses energy, or you may as well be in a cave!  

The important considerations are, 

1.  How efficient is the building?  

2.  How much energy does the building use, and how efficiently is it used?  

3.  How much "carbon free energy" or "pollution free power" is generated by the buildings' own onsite renewable energy system?

4.  What are the utility company's prices for the excess power generated and sent to the grid? 
(see: Net Energy Metering)

5.  How difficult is it to interconnect the renewable energy system of the building with the utility company's powerlines/electric grid?   

At the heart of a Net Zero Energy Building^sm is the idea that any building can meet its energy requirements from low-cost, locally available, nonpolluting, renewable sources, like our Solar Trigeneration^sm Energy Systems. Our Solar Trigeneration^sm Energy Systems are the idea whose time has come, to make Net Zero Energy Buildings^sm commonplace.

Solar Trigeneration^sm Energy Systems Provide All of the Cooling, Heating & Power, for Any Size Building, with only the Energy of the Sun. Solar Trigeneration^sm Energy Systems Provide Simultaneous  Cooling, Heating & Power whether it is 12 Noon, or 12 Midnight,  and can do so, WITHOUT Connection to the electric grid!

The Diagram Below Shows How Our Solar Trigeneration^sm Energy System Works, 
for Heating and Cooling a Building (next to the Solar Thermal Collectors, are the PV Panels, that generate the Electricity).

Our Solar Trigeneration^sm Energy System
provides "Cooling, Heating & Power" for your business,
or home with the free energy of the sun!

What is Net Energy Metering?

Net energy metering is used to measure a customer's total electric consumption against that customer's total on-site electric generation.  When a customer's onsite generation of power exceeds the amount that they use, the customer's solar energy system (or other renewable energy system) exports the extra electricity to the grid.  When the power requirements of the customer exceeds their onsite generation of power, the customer imports the electricity they need from electric grid. The customer pays the electric company for any extra power they use over the amount they generate - OR -  the customer receives a credit or refund from the electric company if they exported more power to the grid, than what they consumed.  

Renewable Energy Is Necessary for Net Zero Energy Buildings^sm

Much focus is placed on energy efficiency as the most cost-effective way to reduce energy use in commercial buildings. However, consumption can be reduced only so much. There is a point at which the cost of adding efficiency measures is higher than that of using renewable energy such as thin film photovoltaics and other solar energy systems. 

Aggressive energy efficiency strategies can reduce a building's energy consumption by 50% to 70%. Renewable energy technologies must be used to reach the goal of a net-zero energy building (NZEB).

Supply-Side Technologies

Various supply-side renewable energy technologies are available for Net Zero Energy Buildings. Supply-side technologies, often called energy producers, collect natural energy and transform it into a useful form. Examples of these technologies include PV, solar hot water, wind, hydroelectric, and biofuels.

Ranking of Energy Options

All renewable sources are favorable over conventional energy sources such as coal and natural gas; however, the U.S. Department of Energy recommends the following ranking for these options (the lower numbers are preferable):

This hierarchy is weighted toward renewable technologies within the building footprint and site. Rooftop PV and solar water heating are the most applicable supply-side technologies for Net Zero Energy Buildings. Other supply-side technologies such as parking lot-based wind or solar energy systems may be available.

The goal in developing the ranking was to encourage technologies that:

• Minimize overall environmental impact by encouraging energy-efficient building designs and reducing transportation and conversion losses

• Will be available over the lifetime of the building

• Are widely available and have high replication potential for future Net Zero Energy Buildings.

Los Angeles, California

There is now a better, more efficient, “pollution free power” and "carbon free energy" solution for cooling, heating and powering homes and commercial buildings where solar energy is available. It's called Solar Trigeneration.

Solar Trigeneration is defined as the simultaneous generation of cooling, heating and power with only the free solar energy from the sun providing the "fuel". 

Solar Trigeneration is now a reality at the Audubon Center at Debs Park several miles from downtown Los Angeles and is one of the world's first "Net Zero Energy Buildings." Net Zero Energy Buildings." Net Zero Energy Buildings."

The Audubon Nature Center is totally powered by the sun’s energy and our Solar Trigeneration energy system!

The 5,300 square foot building operates entirely “grid-free” and without any electric connections to the electric grid, or natural gas connections – a truly sustainable power and energy solution. 

Best of all, the Audubon Center doesn’t rely on the over-burdened electric grid or even natural gas.  Therefore, the Audubon Nature Center NEVER receives an electric bill or natural gas bill.... ever!

The Audubon Nature Center's 5,000 square foot office and conference facility is powered by a Solar Trigeneration system that features a 25-kilowatt solar electric power system where the energy is stored in a bank of batteries. The Center is cooled by a 10-ton solar absorption cooling system powered by an array of very efficient solar heat pipe vacuum tube thermal collectors.  The collectors heat the water to temperatures of 200+ degree F stored in a 1,200 gallon insulated tank, another type of inexpensive battery. The Solar Trigeneration system at the Audubon not only provides the air-conditioning in the summer but also heats the building in the winter, and provides the hot water for the kitchen and bathrooms. 

Absorption chillers, and cooling with solar energy with an absorption chiller are not new technologies.  In fact, absorption chiller technology is over 70 years old.  The first refrigerators were powered by propane gas to run the absorption chillers that used ammonia as a refrigerant.  Electricity and the electric compression chiller gained popularity only because of the convenient “plug and play” appliance and relatively cheap electric rates.  Electricity is no longer economically, or environmentally “cheap.”

History of Cogeneration and Trigeneration

Few people realize that the world's first commercial power plant, designed and built by Thomas Edison, was a cogeneration power plant that was first opened on Pearl Street, in Lower Manhattan, New York.  That was in 1882!  Edison not only generated, and sold electricity in the several blocks surrounding his "Pearl Street Station" but he also sold the hot water that was also generated from the cogeneration plant. The fuel Edison used for generating the electricity and hot water (cogeneration) came from "pulverized coal." The Pearl Street Station provided 110 volts of "direct current" power to 59 customers in lower Manhattan, around his Pearl Street laboratory. 

Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of heat and power. 

Trigeneration is the simultaneous production of cooling, heating and power.

Our company, in partnership with the Renewable Energy Institute and our affiliated partners, have perfected "Solar Cogeneration" and "Solar Trigeneration" which are the "heart" of our Net Zero Energy Buildings.

Unlike traditional cogeneration and trigeneration power plants that are fueled by natural gas - and Thomas Edison's cogeneration plant, which was fueled with pulverized coal, our Solar Cogeneration and Solar Trigeneration energy systems are fueled with the energy of the sun!  And, while natural gas is a "cleaner" fuel, it still has its problems in that it is a limited resource and generates greenhouse gas emissions.  Natural gas also have had extreme price swings and has a history of price volatility.  Natural gas prices have gone from a high of $17.00/mmbtu to a recent low of under $3.00/mmbtu.  

Regarding pulverized coal, yes, it's cheap in terms of the cost of generating electricity, but too many people forget about the "externalities" of pulverized coal that is not reflected in the "cheap" costs of generating electricity from pulverized coal.  These costs not accounted for are the huge environmental cost relating to the use of pulverized coal.  Pound for pound, pulverized coal and coal fired power plants generate more greenhouse gas emissions than any other fossil fuel.  There are also the costs related to the health and safety issues of the miners that mine the coal.  And, the costs to the environment in terms of the ever-increasing amounts of mercury that are "dumped" into the environment from coal fired power plants, is also not reflected in the "cheap" price of generating power from pulverized coal.

Unlike the problems inherently found with the use of fossil fuels, Solar Cogeneration and Solar Trigeneration have no such problems. 

And talk about "cheap" costs of generating power and energy, there is nothing cheaper than free!!!!  

The owners of the Audubon Nature Center never receive any monthly natural gas or electric bills!

And the owners of the Audubon Nature Center will never have to account for their greenhouse gas emissions, or comply with the ever-increasing regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions and the pending Cap and Trade laws..... thanks to our  Solar Trigeneration energy system!

Solar Trigeneration is an EcoGeneration solution.  EcoGeneration refers to a power and energy system that uses the “natural” energy or fuel that is available for a specific site or location. Such energy or fuel includes, solar, wind, BioMethane, geothermal, and ocean power, including ocean tidal and ocean thermal energy conversion. For example, in the desert areas of the Southwestern U.S. , there is an abundance of solar energy. Therefore, home-owners and business owners in this part of the country should seriously consider an EcoGeneration system (“ecogen system”) that optimizes the opportunities available through solar energy

Today, the cause of the summer peak electric demand, electric supply problems, and black-outs, are the result of the energy crisis in California, primarily attributed to the air conditioning load. Over 40 percent of the electricity generated every day goes is used for air conditioning.  At this time of year, the electric utilities are forced to turn on all of their power plants to generate the “peak” demands required by the customers, primarily for air-conditioning.  This means that all of the efficient power plants, the inefficient power plants, along with all of the “peaking” power plants have to run to generate the electricity needed. The high cost of meeting the peak demand is passed on to the consumers with rates of $.20+ per kWh during the summer months. For fixed income seniors living in desert communities, they are already forced to conserve on energy, food, water, and other necessities of life. 

Greater Demands on California’s Limited Electric Supply, Lack of New Electric Power Supplies, and This Summer’s Heat Wave are Compounding the Problem Leading to the “Perfect Electric Storm”

Many people will remember the movie “The Perfect Storm” from several years ago, when several storms came together in the northeastern part of the U.S. to produce a deadly and catastrophic “perfect” storm. Today, a different type of “perfect storm” is brewing in California. The storm that’s looming on the horizon in California is a “perfect electric storm” wherein the supply of electricity from the electric utility company’s power plants are unable to keep-up with the demand – meaning a black-out, or loss of electricity, like the black-outs from previous years, and like the northeastern black-out from 2003.

The most likely time of year for a black-out in California, unfortunately, is the summer, when air-conditioners are running at the maximum, and placing the maximum load on California’s electricity supply.  Should such a black-out occur in the desert areas of California, where daily high temperatures routinely reach 110 degrees and higher, and where a significant percentage of the population is comprised of retired and senior citizens, and should the black-out be prolonged, a number of deaths will be the likely outcome. People, and especially the elderly, simply cannot tolerate prolonged high temperatures

How Do We Prevent the “Perfect Electric Storm” from Occurring in California and Other Regions in the U.S.?

Another major concern is how do we prevent the “Perfect Electric Storm” from happening, like the Northeast Blackout several summers ago, especially for people living in the desert?  California ’s energy authorities are warning of a possible energy crisis during the hot summer months, due to the excessive and prolonged summer temperatures where demand increases by over 40 percent.  Compounding the problem is the rising demand for electricity due to population growth and the limited transmission capacity in some areas in the region.  According to the California Energy Commission, the State must build three natural gas-fired 500-megawatt peaking power plants, every year, just to keep up with the growing demands of electricity. Failure to keep up with demand means The problem is getting worse due to the population growth in the Inland Empire , Coachella Valley and Antelope Valley. The projected power gap for the coming summers remains bleak.

Governor Schwarzenegger’s “Million Solar Roofs” program and the passage of the 2005 Federal Energy Act will be the foundation to create a “Perfect Solar Storm” to trigger the Solar Economy throughout California. 

With the threat of California’s seniors and elderly dying from heat exhaustion due to power outages, black-outs, rolling black-outs and the rising costs of electricity and natural gas, combined with the continuing impact of global warming, the perfect solution is to create a Solar Revolution by cooling, heating and powering the desert with solar energy and technologies like Solar Cogeneration or Solar Trigeneration.

What is "Decentralized Energy"?

Decentralized Energy is the opposite of "centralized energy."  Decentralized Energy energy generates the power and energy that a residential, commercial or industrial customer needs, onsite. Examples of decentralized energy production are solar energy systems and solar trigeneration energy systems.

Today's electric utility industry was "born" in the 1930's, when fossil fuel prices were cheap, and the cost of wheeling the electricity via transmission power lines, was also cheap.  "Central" power plants could be located hundreds of miles from the load centers, or cities, where the electricity was needed. These extreme inefficiencies and cheap fossil fuel prices have added a considerable economic and environmental burden to the consumers and the planet.

Centralized energy is found in the form of electric utility companies that generate power from "central" power plants. Central power plants are highly inefficient, averaging only 33% net system efficiency.  This means that the power coming to your home or business - including the line losses and transmission inefficiencies of moving the power - has lost 75% to as much as 80% energy it started with at the "central" power plant.  These losses and inefficiencies translate into significantly increased energy expenses by the residential and commercial consumers.

Decentralized Energy is the Best Way to Generate Clean and Green Energy! 

How we make and distribute electricity is changing! 

The electric power generation, transmission and distribution system (the electric "grid") is changing and evolving from the electric grid of the 19th and 20th centuries, which was inefficient, highly-polluting, very expensive and “dumb.”  

The "old" way of generating and distributing energy resembles this slide:

Cogeneration and trigeneration power systems are "super-efficient" and environmentally-friendly.  In a Press Release announcing the initiation of the CHP ("combined heat and power or cogeneration)  Partnership, Christie Whitman, former Administrator of the EPA said that "Cogeneration is not only better than conventional electricity generation at reducing air pollution and fuel consumption, it's more reliable and costs less to do so … Founding partners in this program are leading the way toward a cleaner future."

Emissions associated with electric power from cogeneration plants can be significantly reduced when compared to power from non-cogeneration powerplants. Cogeneration plants, also called CHP systems - help reduce carbon emissions and other air emissions by increasing efficiency in the overall generation of electric power and energy usage, and by reducing transmission energy losses by moving the source of generation closer to the end-user.

Cogeneration saves energy by utilizing heat that other would be rejected increases energy efficiency by reducing the need for the generation of electricity by central station plants. By increasing energy efficiency, cogeneration and trigeneration plants helps to prevent "greenhouse gas emissions" (CO2) and other forms of air pollution. Increasing energy efficiency is a smart practice that helps the economy, too, by saving consumers and businesses million of dollars in energy costs each year. Carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) are a primary source of gases responsible for global warming concerns. The overwhelming share of U.S. and world CO2 emissions comes from burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. Burning fossil fuel also causes emissions of other greenhouse gases as well, such as methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). The Department of Energy has several initiatives in collaboration with EPA that will help to increase efficiency by improving overall energy performance in commercial buildings, school systems, local governments, homes, transportation networks, electricity plants, and many other areas.

Cogeneration power plants or "CHP systems" offer great potential for improving the environment as cogeneration plants significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions by 45% or more, when compared with non-cogeneration produced power. In the September 1997 Scenarios of U.S. Carbon Reductions, five DOE laboratories examined more than 200 technologies, and found that the application of three power generation technologies for CHP applications -advanced turbines, fuel cells, and integrated combined cycle technologies - accounted for nearly 10% of the projected carbon savings. The next generation of turbines, fuel cells, and reciprocating engines offers increased efficiency at reduced size and versatility in the ratio of electric or mechanical energy to thermal energy. These can be combined with advanced thermal recovery technologies for the highest possible overall total energy efficiency and lowest carbon emissions.

Reduced energy costs

Building owners can reduce their energy costs by deploying onsite cogeneration, or trigeneration plants because compared to conventional systems these systems provide the following advantages:

• Increased energy efficiency

• Reduced demand charge

• Reduced peak electric energy costs

Cogeneration and trigeneration power plants provide much higher energy efficiency than conventional stand-alone equipment items for similar degree of power reliability, comfort cooling, heating and indoor air quality. Because of the higher energy efficiency of the CHP system, it consumes nearly 40% less fuel than conventional systems. The reduced fuel consumption can significantly reduce energy costs.

The cost of electricity to buildings is generally based on power demand (measured in kW) and electric energy usage (measured in kWh). The power demand charge is generally a monthly charge ($/kW) based on the peak/maximum power used during a month for a specified period, generally 15 minutes to 30 minutes. Power demand charge rates can vary with time-of-year. CHP systems reduce power demand in two ways: 1) by generating some of the power at site, and 2) by using thermal energy from power generation equipment, instead of electricity, for operating cooling, heating and/or humidity control equipment.

The charge for electric energy usage generally varies with the time-of-year and the time-of-day. This charge is the highest during peak periods, generally from 9AM until 3PM, and the least during off-peak period, generally from midnight until 7AM. Therefore, primary reduction in electric energy cost savings for using onsite cogeneration, or trigeneration, comes from avoiding purchase of electric energy during peak periods.

Reduced life-cycle costs

Even though the initial cost of CHP systems for buildings is higher than purchasing all electric power needs and using conventional chillers and boilers for cooling, humidity control and heating needs, the life-cycle cost of the CHP systems is often lower because of the energy cost savings over its useful life of more than 20 years.

Attractive return on investment

As discussed above, on an overall basis, CHP systems can reduce energy costs for businesses. If the incremental installed cost of CHP systems over conventional systems is treated as an investment, and the annual savings in its energy costs are treated as the return on that investment, the return can be very attractive.

Improved power reliability

Economic losses due to power outages in the U.S. have cost American businesses billions of dollars. The following table shows the economic impact of power outages on some industries.

Since cogeneration plants generate power on-site or near-site, these systems improve power reliability by either reducing or eliminating a building's dependence on the electric power grid, and by providing an additional power option to the building. Also, because cogeneration plants are located at or near buildings, power outages experienced because of losing a distribution line are improbable.

The higher the number of buildings that use onsite cogeneration or trigeneration power plants, the lower the demand on the electric grid will be. In areas where the grid is at or near capacity, the reduced demand provided by CHP will result in increased grid reliability.

Why Partner with Us?

EcoGeneration Solutions, LLC. (EGS) will consider buying your facility’s existing energy/power plant which enables your company to free-up "tied-up" capital by owning a capital asset that produces no revenues for your company? Aren’t there better investments your company can make to generate revenues? 

When EGS buys your existing power/energy plant, you can use this capital to generate real revenues for your company!  After EGS acquires your company’s existing power/thermal/energy plant (district energy system, chilled water plant or thermal power plant), you are able to use our capital to make investments into your company that make better economic sense - and lead to new revenues from revenue producing assets - instead of a non-revenue producing asset. We may make additional investments in the newly acquired EGS power/energy system - that makes it even more efficient by our adding additional capacity.  EGS will oversee the financing, design, engineering, project management, building and refurbishing of the power/energy plant. We also offer other partnerships that include  solutions that best fit your requirements. Other EGS onsite power generation services include; back-up power, peak shaving, load-following, demand side management, energy performance contracting, energy-efficient-lighting, absorption chillers, and engine-driven-chillers.

Our customers can expect electric power and thermal energy (hot water, steam and chilled water for air-conditioning) costs to be about 50% less than their current expenses (depends on location, energy and power uses, time of use and existing energy natural gas costs). Our clean power and energy systems provide the opportunity for our customers to select interruptible rates and/or reduce electric expenses through peak shaving. The most expensive times for buying electricity is during peak demand periods which are typically during the normal work day hours of 8-5, but depend on the electric utility provider. 

For our qualified customers, we will build, own and operate at no cost and zero investment, increase your power reliability factor and still reduce your energy expenses. We also offer 5, 10, 15 or 20 year lease-purchase agreements, power purchase agreements and other incentives that permit our customers to own the power and energy system at the conclusion of the lease or power purchase agreement.

For our utility clients that do not want to invest in central power plants, we offer standardized power plants that can be placed at strategic locations on your grid, such as substations or at other locations such as your large industrial client's properties.

What is cogeneration?  Cogeneration, also known as "combined heat and power" or CHP, is the simultaneous production of power and thermal energy from one fuel input. Cogeneration captures the "waste heat" that is lost in typical electric power plants. Once this "free" heat is captured, a cogeneration plant converts this into useful energy such as steam or hot water. 

Cogeneration is much more effective, and efficient method for generation power and useful energy, compared with non-cogeneration plants.  And, trigeneration is up to 50% more efficient than cogeneration! Trigeneration, at around 90% system efficiency is the most efficient, economic, and environmentally-friendly method to produce electric power and thermal energy (cooling, heating and power).  A cogeneration system's efficiency can reach 60%-80%.  And taking cogeneration one step further with "trigeneration" - trigeneration is up to 50% more efficient than typical cogeneration, often reaching 90% system efficiencies.  With cogeneration system efficiencies reaching 80%, a cogeneration system provides huge savings in fuel and electricity costs. 

Cogeneration is the "cooler, cleaner, greener" way to make power on-site, where it's needed. Cogeneration helps our environment as there are substantially fewer emissions that cause pollution - such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon dioxide when compared with typical power plants. Typical power plants waste up to 75% of the original fuel through heat loss, line transmission losses and other inefficiencies. Your electric utility's power plant efficiency is, at best - only 30% - 35% - and then they have the added line losses, and inefficiencies of transmitting the power from their power plant, to your facility - losing another 5% - 10% along the way.  Who ultimately pays for these inefficiencies and line losses?

EcoGeneration - "the" ecological and economic way to generate cleaner, greener power and energy for your business. EcoGeneration produces huge savings for our ecology, through the reduction, and sometimes complete elimination of the pollution typically associated with power generation, as well as our clients' economic bottom-line, through savings  as much as 90% decrease in fuel expenses.

Like most of the people and companies we visit, just one intermittent power interruption can cost thousands of dollars.  That's why more and more businesses are seeking ways to become energy reliant and independent by providing their own onsite power.

Cogeneration's Time Has Come!  Cogeneration is proven technology - not the latest energy industry buzz-word. Cogeneration power plants have been around for over 100 years. Few people realize the very first power plant was a cogeneration plant designed and  built by Thomas Edison in New York in 1882!  With the countless numbers of cogeneration success stories, from around the world, it's no wonder "cogeneration is now on-line for a global power surge."

And, trigeneration can be up to 50% more efficient than cogeneration! Trigeneration provides four (4) different types of energy for the price of one! With a trigeneration power plant, you make electricity, hot water and/or steam, AND chilled water, with only one fuel input and combustion process. The easiest way to explain trigeneration is that you start with a cogeneration power plant and add additional equipment that takes the waste heat from a cogeneration plant to make chilled water for air conditioning or process uses. Trigeneration is also known as "Integrated Energy Systems," "Buildings, Cooling, Heating and Power." "Cooling, Heating and Power for Buildings," and "Combined Cooling Heating and Power." 

More information on trigeneration can be found in the following article on our website:
What Comes After Cogeneration?

An investment in a new cogeneration or trigeneration system can be very profitable. A cogeneration  power plant can pay for itself in about three years, maybe less, through its' overall system efficiency which means substantial fuel and electricity savings for you. You may be wondering how much money a new cogeneration power plant can save you?

Many companies are finding cogeneration to be a very popular choice, not only for their shareholders, since cogeneration saves their company much-needed capital through energy savings, but also from a public relations viewpoint since cogeneration is a cooler, cleaner, greener way to provide their company's onsite energy requirements. Mission critical companies - those who cannot afford ANY power interruptions - whose lifeblood depends on their power and energy supplies - companies such as data centers, server farms, customer support, call centers and hi-tech - new economy companies, are calling us to help them design Six-9's ( 9999.99% on-line power reliability) power systems and UPS (uninterruptible power supply) systems with cogeneration or trigeneration systems.

The Sierra Club supports cogeneration, also referred to as combined heat & power (CHP) and trigeneration. The Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) is promoting the use of cogeneration with new rules to encourage more power production through cogeneration. Proposed legislation now in the U.S. Congress supports more cogeneration power plants. Tax credits and/or accelerated depreciation are being considered for new cogeneration facilities.

According to a study by the Department of Energy and the Energy Information Administration, cogeneration & trigeneration power plants are going to play a significant role in helping meet the strict emissions requirements of the Kyoto Protocol - that calls for dramatically reduced carbon dioxide emissions from power plants - which has been associated with global warming and climate change.

Commercial businesses that now profit from cogeneration or trigeneration power plants include restaurants, hospitals, universities (see our listing of colleges and universities), hotels, shopping centers/malls, office buildings, nursing homes, green houses and resorts.  Industrial businesses that have long-profited from cogeneration and trigeneration include manufacturing, paper and pulp, oil and gas, petro-chemical, agricultural, plastics and steel. Leading businesses are learning that cogeneration or trigeneration power provides a competitive advantage and a win-win investment for their customers, neighbors, employees, shareholders and our environment. 

To remain competitive and successful in today's global economy, companies are taking control of their own destinies by becoming energy self-reliant and cutting the cord to their "local" electric company by making their own power with on-site, "inside the fence" cogeneration  and trigeneration systems. Some businesses are electing NOT TO CONNECT to the local electric utility for their new facilities.

We also provide temporary, back-up and emergency power generators 24/7/365.  For permanent power, our cogeneration, trigeneration, and even quadgeneration experience is unsurpassed.  Our expertise is an asset to your company's needs in today's rapidly-changing world of black-outs, power shortages, and deregulation. With the present uncertainties of power reliability and deregulation of the electric industry, more and more businesses are seeking ways to become energy independent by providing their own onsite power generation.
