Tuesday, July 19th, 2011Partnership Brings Biogas Technology To Canada
Canadian biogas company Carbon Control Systems (CCS) has teamed with German technology provider agriKomp with the goal of becoming Canada’s first turnkey anaerobic digestion system provider. CCS-agriKomp’s reference plant is a 135-kW on-farm digester in Millbrook, Ontario. The facility processes dairy manure, corn silage and grease from nearby restaurants.Vancouver-based Octaform Systems is a stay-in-place PVC concrete forming system used for the tanks, eliminating the need for secondary seals or treatments. The biogas provides enough energy to dry grain in a 180-metric-ton batch dryer, power CCS-agriKomp’s 7,600-square-foot headquarters and provides electricity to more than 50 homes.
Biogas is now being promoted as advanced composting. BioCycle, Advancing Composting, Organics Recycling & Renewable Energy.

Canadian researchers shine light on the future of solar power
Monday, June 27th, 2011In a paper published in the journal Nature Photonics on Sunday, a group of engineers at the University of Toronto detailed a breakthrough with the potential to significantly increase the efficiency of solar cell technology by absorbing energy from both the visible and invisible light spectrums.By capturing a broader range of light waves that goes beyond traditional solar cells, the team was able to create a solar cell capable of reaching a maximum of 42% energy efficiency.
When this solution will be manufactured on a commercial scale it will surely be a game changer for Solar. How far away would that be? Canadian researchers shine light on the future of solar power
