Nature's News team looks at how much carbon-free energy might ultimately be available

Pumped storage power plants help achieve maximum efficiency for the power generating system and maintain power system stability as a whole.

Biomass based power generation is one of the promising renewable options. This article reviews the status and potential of biomass based power for India.

George Unzelman, has more than 50 years of refining experience and has been in the industry during some of its most dramatic changes-some predicted, some results of opposition. In an opinion editorial, Unzelman shares his observations and predictions moving forward.

They call it flammable ice, and it could be the world's last great source of carbon-based fuel - assuming we can mine methane hydrates, crystal lattices of ice that trap methane beneath ocean beds and permafrost. One problem with extracting this methane is that you have to melt the ice to bring the gas to the surface. In 2002, a team of geologists from Canada and Japan tried injecting hot water into the ice beneath the delta of the McKenzie river in northern Canada. While this released some hydrates, it used a lot of energy.
