Could This Be The Next Great Renewable Energy Source?

Worldwide oil prices are subject to quite a bit of volatility and are often affected by political disputes and controversies. When we consider these facts, in conjunction with the amount of pollution generated by burning petroleum products for fuel, it's no surprise that scientists and governments are trying to explore alternative forms of energy. One of the newest, and seemingly most viable forms of clean energy, could be poised to outperform all of the existing options, including solar: algae biofuel.

Algae are found throughout the Earth's oceans, where they employ photosynthetic processes to create energy using sunlight. Some types of algae produce oils that they use to store energy, which means that certain algae can be grown and then harvested to produce biofuel: a net carbon-neutral process.

Although other crops, such as corn and soybeans, have been used to produce biofuel in the past, algae offer several advantages over them. According to the US Department of Energy, algae yields are between 10 and 100 times as high as those of traditional biofuels. What's more, algae can grow in marginal or brackish agricultural areas, meaning that production can be ramped up significantly without competing with food crops for land and other resources.

The global market for biofuel was estimated at about $100 billion in 2013. Many believe that the size of this market could almost double within the next few decades. According to scientist and entrepreneur Craig Venter, it would take a land area three times the size of the United States to replace all the fuel used in transportation in the U.S. with corn-derived biofuel. By contrast, it would only take an area the size of Maryland to do so using algae.

The U.S. Department of Energy is pouring money into efforts to promote the viability and efficiency of using algae as a fuel. It has announced $18 million in funding towards this end, and Just Energy in Ohio has pushed for more state level funding for research into methods to more efficiently grow, process and extract the oils from algae. Efforts are underway throughout many other countries as well.

Researchers in the Netherlands are experimenting with growing multiple species of algae together to achieve synergies that aren't possible with monocultures. Australia saw its first testing of a commercial algae fuel production facility last year in Whyalla. Canadian researchers have used specially grown algae to actively clean up oil sands. In Sweden, chemical company Perstorp is trying out different growing conditions and algae species to identify ones that show potential as biofuel.

Related: China Provides Another Threat To Oil Prices

Algae has already been used successfully in a number of commercial areas. In 2011, United Airlines ran the first passenger flight powered solely by algae products. In Hamburg, Germany, a unique residential structure, called the “BIQ House,” uses bioreactors filled with algae to generate heat and biomass without requiring any electricity to be added from outside the system. The success of these trial projects as well as the support of big names like Craig Venter and Japanese PM Shinzo Abe might well serve to propel algae-based fuel solutions even further.

What's holding algae back from wider mainstream adoption is price. Estimates from the Biofuels Digest in late 2014 suggest that the price of algae biofuel is around $7.50 per gallon. Although the price of gasoline and other fuels changes quite frequently, it tends to be much less than this figure. Experts believe that algae fuels must reach around $3 per gallon to be able to successfully compete with oil-based products.

It's hard to speculate on whether algae or any other type of biofuel could completely displace oil.

If any of them could do it, it would most likely be algae, assuming that it can someday be produced at competitive prices. The arable land requirements of other types of biofuel made from food crops place a hard limit on the amount of fuel that could be sourced in this way, and we must also consider the effect on food prices as more farmland is devoted to the production of fuel.

A Florida-based company called Algenol has an ambitious target of producing several types of fuel using algae at $1.30 per gallon. This company's processes actually consume salt water and generate freshwater, a useful byproduct of its production model. Tokyo-based Euglena, named after a species of algae, received a special Prime Minister's Award for its work producing foodstuffs, cosmetics and fuel from algae.

Craig Venter's company Synthetic Genomics is active in efforts to use genetic manipulation of algae to increase fuel production, reduce atmospheric CO2 and grow food for human consumption. What all these companies have in common with each other and with many other algae firms is the fact that they're trying to create other usable products while at the same time generating fuels.

Now that there's serious interest and investment in algae-derived fuels, it's highly likely that advancing technology will be able to reduce prices to a level necessary for market success. If this occurs, we could see algae having a greater impact on sustainability, carbon dioxide reduction and clean energy generation than wind, solar and hydroelectric combined.

Interessantes Thema, hab versucht, mich kurz einzulesen und noch folgendes gefunden:

http://www.energie-pflanzen.de/biogas/2-allgemein/89-algen-a…

Kernaussage: Algenproduktion aktuell (noch) zu teuer zur energetischen Nutzung, hier ein Kernzitat aus o.g. Artikel:

"Bislang existieren lukrativere Nutzungen für Algen als die Herstellung von Biogas. „Es kommt immer darauf an, was man mit den Algen machen möchte“, wendet Gerber jedoch ein. „Für die Biogasproduktion ist der Rohstoff nicht wirklich wertvoll, wenn man ihn mit der Anwendung in der kosmetischen und pharmazeutischen Industrie vergleicht.“ Deshalb arbeiten die Kollegen aus Hamburg an einer gestuften Nutzung: Sie wollen zunächst die sozusagen wertvollen Stoffe wie Fettsäuren und Proteine aus der Algenbiomasse gewinnen und nur den Rest als Biogassubstrat nutzen. Für letzteres wünscht sich Stephanie Koch eine Ausweitung des EEG auch auf die Algenbiomasse, zumal Algen keine Konkurrenz zu Nahrungsmitteln darstellen. Aber auch die Nutzung von Algen als CO2-Senke für Kohlekraftwerke ist nicht nur aus Gründen der Klimabilanz zu hinterfragen: Um das gesamte CO2 eines Kohlekraftwerkes wie Niederaußem zu nutzen, sei der Flächenbedarf enorm groß, meint die Bochumer Wissenschaftlerin Gerber, nämlich die Fläche der gesamten Stadt Köln."

Faszinierend erscheinen mir die leider nur in Nischen stattfindendne Bemühungen, Stromüberschüsse aus Solarenergie an Sonnentagen und aus Windrädern bei Wind umzuwandeln in Wasserstoff (das haben wir schon vor 50 Jahren in der Schule gemacht im Chemieraum), oder auch in Methan. Dazu ein Situationsbericht in der FAZ 184, Seite T1, vom 11.8.2015, fraglich nicht mehr kostenlos im Internet. Hab den Artikel aufgehoben, die Sache erschien mir technisch faszinierend, zeigt aber für Kapitalanleger erst einmal keinen Ansatz? Wegen der in nacheinandergesetzten Schritten sich multilizierenden schlechten Wirkungsgrade bei den aktuell moch relativ geringen Kosten fossiler Brennstoffe eher ein Fall für staatliche Förderung als für uns Anleger?

Gamesa and Iberdrola Ingeniería to build wind farms in Costa Rica

04 January 2016
Gamesa and Iberdrola Ingeniería have signed an EPC contract with Globeleq Mesoamerica Energy (GME) to build four wind farms with a total capacity of 80 MW in Costa Rica.

The two companies will handle all the construction and commissioning phases required for this project, named Alisios, which comprises four 20-MW wind farms: Vientos de la Perla and Vientos de Miramar, located in the Liberia region, and Altamira and Campos Azules, to be developed in the Tilarán region.

Specifically, Gamesa will manufacture 19 of its G90-2.0 MW turbines and 21 of its G87-2.0 MW turbines for delivery during the second quarter of 2016, while Iberdrola will handle the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) side of this renewable facility, which is due for commissioning towards the end of next year.

Alisios is set to have a very significant impact on its surroundings as it will be able to cater to demand for electricity from some 60,000 Costa Rican households and create around 400 jobs during the construction process. In addition, Alisios will prevent the emission of around 172,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.

Vanadiumcorp to add VE technology to Lac Dore PEA

2016-02-03 09:41 ET - News Release

Mr. Adriaan Bakker reports

PEA UPDATE -VANADIUM BATTERY ELECTROLYTE ECONOMICS

Vanadiumcorp Resource Inc. will integrate vanadium electrolyte technology into the Lac Dore preliminary economic assessment in combination with conventional vanadium production methods.

After ample discussion with various vanadium battery developers, the company is encouraged to target primary VE, vanadium chemicals and the V205 market to maximize competitive advantage. Unlike current production methods, primary VE technology will eliminate costly conversions of metallurgical grade pentoxide to VE as currently used by existing VE producers. Being a North American supplier would reduce costs and eliminate political risk compared with the supply from other countries. Demand for premium vanadium products in the domestic market is strong and forecasted to grow with the adoption of VRB batteries for grid storage, peak shaving and mobile applications.

Adriaan Bakker, chief executive officer of the company, states: "The industry assumption that vanadium redox batteries will remain expensive is driven by the lack of a primary VE producer. We are confident that our approach represents a unique market opportunity for the company, as a stable supply at low cost is the key for VRB technology to succeed. Our objective is to become the key supplier for North America by integrating VE technology with a world-class resource."

In 2015, the company confirmed an NI 43-101 inferred vanadium resource in Quebec, Canada, of 621,214,000 pounds V2O5 with favourable metallurgy. At present the company is developing a business model that combines VE process development and pilot plant options. Selection of engineering firms and interested partners is under way. Details will be disclosed as they become available.

Das sind die 93 besten Stromspeicher für Zuhause

Das sind die 93 besten Stromspeicher für Zuhause

Ein Marktforschungsunternehmen hat über 150 Hausspeicher untersucht. Wir stellen die besten vor.

Solaranlagen erzeugen über einen sonnigen Tag mehr Strom als man braucht. Dieser kann zwar ins Netz gehen, aber da es in Deutschland noch ziemlich viele Kohlekraftwerke gibt, die sich nur ziemlich langsam runter- oder anfahren lassen, ist das keine Ideallösung.

So sind Hausspeicher deutlich verheißungsvoller: In ihnen lässt sich der Strom für die Nacht oder sogar für die kommenden Wochen speichern. Der Markt wächst, schon über 30.000 Speichersysteme sind alleine in Deutschland installiert. Auch wenn kaum nachgerüstet wird: In 90 Prozent aller Fälle werden Solaranlage und Speicher gemeinsam eingebaut, zeigt eine neue Marktstudie des Herstellers E3/DC.

Doch bei weit über 100 verschiedenen Speichern alleine im Lithium-Ionen-Bereich wird es langsam unübersichtlich. "Das Interesse ist schon seit Jahren da, aber das tatsächliche Kaufinteresse wird immer größer", bestätigt auch Linda Fahmy, Projektmanagerin bei EuPD Research. Das Marktforschungsunternehmen will Ordnung in das Chaos bringen und hat sich die Speicher deshalb genauer angeschaut.

Drei Kategorien geben Aufschluss darüber, wie sehr der Speicher sich vom errechneten Markt-Durchschnitt abheben kann. Insgesamt kann ein Speicher fünf Punkte erreichen – 3,55 im Bereich "Kosten pro Kilowattstunde", 0,9 für "Maße und Installation" und 0,55 für den Herstellerservice.
Preis entscheidet beim Hausspeicher

Denn der Preis ist für viele Kunden das mit Abstand wichtigste Kriterium, hat EuPD herausgefunden. Doch diese sind gerade im Bereich der leistungsfähigen Lithium-Ionen-Akkus ziemlich hoch – die Speicher alleine gibt es im Endkundenbereich nicht für unter 500 Euro pro Kilowattstunde – da kommen aber noch Wechselrichter und Installation hinzu.

Das Unternehmen "Sonnen" ist sicherlich einer der Gewinner der Untersuchung, welche die WirtschaftsWoche exklusiv veröffentlicht. Auch LG und die Deutsche Accumotive sind weit vorne. Bronze bei den großen Speichern holt sich das ebenfalls deutsche Unternehmen Colibri. Dieses machte vor über einem Jahr durch eine unübersichtliche Insolvenz Schlagzeilen, kehrte aber unter leicht geändertem Namen (vorher: Kolibri) an den Markt zurück.

Die Deutsche Accumotive ist eher für kleine Speicher zuständig - das Unternehmen ist eine Tochter des Autoherstellers Daimler. Ein Synergieeffekt zwischen Elektromobilität und Stromspeicherung, auf den auch Tesla setzt. Die Kalifornier wiederum führen in der Untersuchung von EuPD das Mittelfeld an, können sich aber bei den Kosten nicht absetzen.

Zwar will Firmengründer Elon Musk die Preise mit einer eigenen Batteriefabrik weiter drücken, doch bei Tesla vergeht zwischen Ankündigung und Auslieferung traditionell viel Zeit. Diese haben einige Unternehmen gut genutzt. „Wer bei uns vorne liegt, ist am deutschen Markt eben auch schon sehr aktiv“, sagt Fahmy – und der hiesige Markt ist einer der wichtigsten weltweit.
Blei-Speicher leicht abgeschlagen

Ebenfalls getestet hat EuPD Research Bleiakkus – diese sind günstiger, aber geraten gegenüber Lithium-Akkus wegen zahlreicher Nachteile ins Hintertreffen. So entladen sie sich deutlich schneller selbst, haben eine geringere Energiedichte und sind dementsprechend deutlich klobiger. Lediglich die Siegerprodukte von Solarinvert und Hoppecke könnten im Mittelfeld der Lithium-Ionen-Liga mitspielen.

Noch nicht dabei sind sogenannte Redox-Flow-Speicher, die einen flüssigen Energieträger brauchen. Ob sie in den kommenden Jahren auf den Markt kommen, hängt für Jens Tübke von der Preisentwicklung bei den Li-Ion-Speichern ab. Der Leiter des Bereichs Angewandte Elektrochemie beim Fraunhofer-Institut für Chemische Technologie (kurz Fraunhofer ICT) sieht in den kommenden Jahren erstmal weitere Innovationen und Mengenvorteile bei den Lithium-Akkus.

„Redox-Flow-Speicher bestehen aus weniger Einzelteilen und eignen sich viel besser für ein Recycling als Lithium-Speicher – das ist deutlich ökologischer“, so Tübke. Doch damit sie sich durchsetzen können, muss Lithium knapper und damit teurer werden, so seine Prognose. Deshalb bleibt es im Hausspeicherbereich erst einmal bei Lithium und Blei.

Vanadiumcorp completes first reactor installation

2017-06-29 17:31 ET - News Release

Mr. Adriaan Bakker reports

VANADIUMCORP-ELECTROCHEM PHASE II UPDATE

Vanadiumcorp Resource Inc. has successfully completed the first reactor installation, which is in operation. It is consistently recoverying high-purity electrolytic iron directly from VTM concentrated from drill core from the company's Lac Dore vanadium project using conventional milling and magnetic separation. Phase II development of Vanadiumcorp-Electrochem process technology is located at the Electrochem Technologies & Materials Inc. facilities in Boucherville, Que.

Scaled trial production capacity increasing on schedule: The first large reactor designed with a nameplate capacity of 300 kilograms per month of VTM was successfully installed at Electrochem's facilities using readily available industrial equipment required for production scale-up. Additional customized items will be installed to accommodate the specificity of the patent pending Vanadiumcorp-Electrochem technology.

The ferrous sulphate heptahydrate (copperas) crystals successfully produced from the copperas crystallized from the pregnant liquor solution "PLS" allowed the electrowinning of pure electrolytic iron using Electrochem's patented technology. This represents the first time pure electrolytic iron metal was processed from Lac Dore vanadiferous titanomagnetite "VTM" using hydroelectricity. This demonstrates the potential of implementing this integrated CO2-free iron-making process.

In parallel, five-kilogram batches of VTM were processed using a gallon-size vessel in order to confirm results obtained during phase I with a particular attention on the consumption of chemicals, energy and water. So far the results confirmed a specific consumption of sulphuric acid close to stoichiometry and a low water utilization allowing to produce highly concentrated liquors suitable for efficiently recovering iron, vanadium, titanium and silica products. The energy consumption was kept at a minimum relying on the exothermic character of the chemical reactions involved that will allow an autogenous mode of operation when performed industrially.

Once fully operational, the large reactor will allow efficient assessment of the technology robustness and to further optimize its design prior to building additional reactors and equipment as phase II continues toward a targeted nameplate capacity of one tonne per month of VTM.

Processing other vanadiferous concentrates and metallurgical byproducts supplied from various industrial partners worldwide is also expected to facilitate scale-up to one tonne per month capacity and the beginning of phase III.

Consistent yields and recoveries (plus-95 per cent) remain consistent in phase II confirming the industrial potential of the new and greener technology that can now be applied to other vanadiferous feedstocks, hematite, vanadium slags from steelmaking, iron ores and non-monetized calcine from primary vanadium producers that all contain elevated concentrations of iron which are not currently processed efficiently or at all by existing conventional technologies.

Current focus on the preparation on vanadium chemicals and the vanadium electrolyte (VE) at phase II scale for qualification by end-users.

Adriaan Bakker, chief executive officer of Vanadiumcorp, states, "Consistent results and increasing efficiencies in phase II bode well to utilize our green processing technology for our exclusive 100-per-cent-owned VTM resources and potential for mass adoption by various industries."

In phase II, Vanadiumcorp-Electrochem technology is incorporating Electrochem's globally patented technology for electrowinning to produce high-purity electrolytic iron. Scaling the process with larger infrastructure such as reactors to process larger batches of VTM is necessary to fully test production of vanadium pentoxide, vanadium electrolyte and electrolytic iron for final qualification by potential end users.

Based on the continued success within phase II, Vanadiumcorp and Electrochem are both confident about the disruptive integrated approach having a profound impact for processing vanadium and iron feedstocks in Canada and abroad with an exclusive, environmentally friendly technology developed in Quebec, Canada.

Non-dilutive cost mitigation variables:

Scalable infrastructure and available equipment;

Applicable grants and government incentives;

Research and development tax credits.

Contribution from global partners and international interest

Electrochem Technologies & Materials is a research and development company that invents, develops, patents, scales up and commercializes proprietary metallurgical and electrochemical technologies that are innovative, and sustainable. Vanadiumcorp-Electrochem technology is located at Electrochem's facilities in Boucherville, Que.

Conventional pyrometallurgical processes used for vanadium, titanium and steel production utilize either direct soda ash roasting of the magnetite followed by water leaching, or the arc smelting and slagging of the magnetite followed by soda ash roasting of the vanadium-rich slag. Smelting or roasting is capital intensive with high operating costs, technical risks and significant emissions of greenhouse gases that pose serious environmental issues. Hydrometallurgical processes for the extraction of vanadium have been proposed in the last decade as a lower cost alternative in replacement of the conventional processes such as TNG Ltd.'s (ASX: TNG) Tivan process. However, they do not recover electrolytic iron co-product, which is expected to represent a significant portion of value. The Vanadiumcorp-Electrochem technology addresses these key issues and allows the full recovery of vanadium for the production of either a vanadium electrolyte (VE) or vanadium chemicals used for preparing vanadium battery electrolyte as well as the concurrent production of a high-quality and competitive iron co-product.

Ich glaube, dass wir mit diesem Explorer Vanadiumcorp Glück haben. Hier werden neue Prozesse für die Eisen- und Stahlindustrie entwickelt, bei denen Produkte, wie Eisen, Titan, Vanadium, Silicate und chemische Ableitungsprodukte elektrolytisch und ohne CO² erzeugt. Es scheint ganz gut voran zu gehen. Nicht nur die Herstellung ist ökologisch, sondern eins der Produkte ist auch noch interessant für die Stromspeicherung.

Auszug daraus:
Revolutionärer als die stationären Energiespeicher Tesla preist seine Batterien auch für stationäre Anwendungen an und kann bei kleineren Speichersystemen durchaus Erfolge vorweisen. Aber ist es revolutionär, Millionen von kleinen Lithiumzellen zusammenzupacken, um damit Windstrom zu speichern, wie es zuletzt vorgeschlagen wurde? Mir ist kürzlich eine Lösung ins Auge gefallen, die das Prädikat vielleicht eher verdient: Eine Tochter des Energieversorgers EWE treibt gerade ein Projekt namens „brine4power“ voran, dass eine gesamte Salzkaverne zu einer überwältigenden Riesenbatterie macht. Da gibt es keine einzelnen Zellen. Stattdessen werden einfach zwei getrennte großvolumige Kammern mit Speicherflüssigkeiten aufgefüllt. Diese werden dann an einer Membran vorbeigepumpt und so entweder aufgeladen oder entladen, je nachdem, wie sich gerade das Angebot an Windstrom und die Nachfrage aus dem Netz entwickelt. Dass man zudem noch kostengünstige und unproblematische Materialien gefunden hat, welche als Ladungsträger dienen, ist ein zusätzlicher dicker Vorteil. Der Nachteil ist natürlich, dass es längst nicht überall Salzkavernen oder vergleichbare Speicher gibt. Trotzdem zeigen etwa die im Container verpackten CellCubes von GILDEMEISTER energy solutions, einer Tochter von DMG Mori (WKN:587800), dass die sogenannte Redox-Flow-Technologie in verschiedenen Formen daherkommen kann.
