Scientist proposes 'green' system for generating and distributing energy

A scientist at Connecticut Global Fuel Cell Center has determined that a highly efficient system for generating and distributing energy that is 'lean, mean and green'  is as close to a nearest farm. Dr. Prabhakar Singh, Director and UTC Endowed Chair Professor in Fuel Cell Technology, has stated that "this solution is truly homegrown, and its successful application can be critical for the U.S. and the world"......

The objective is that we need to focus on clean energy efficiency "to achieve low or negligible pollution and greatly reduced carbon emmissions that approach zero," Dr. Singh said........

According to Dr. Singh at the University of Connecticut, a green campus initiative has been started that features fuel cells that work on bio-derived fuel. The schools of agriculture, engineering, and business "are all part of this technology system that produces carbon neutral biofuel that can be used in a fuel cell in the most efficient way possible,"  he added. The net result is that we are using an indegnous fuel resource with zero emission, " Dr. Singh said.........

In a nut shell according to Dr. Singh, the material scientists and engineers have the ability to champion new ways to generate energy, minimize environmental impact, and improve standards of living......

There may be hope that newer technologies can lead us to a more sustainable life on this mother earth.

    Bio-derived fuels are definitely the way to go -- I'm so excited about this technology!! I'm especially intrigued with waste-to-fuel efforts such as those via manure, post-meat processing, and even shrimp shell biodiesel. There's a company called Agroplast that is even working on converting pig urine into biofuel and plastic dinnerware and household items. It's an awesome time to be a greenie.

    Several pronged attacks are needed to develop clean energy. The Agroplast's efforts will further help in this matter. Every possible avenue needs to exploited. It seems that awareness in this regards may finally be working towards development of good clean energy via utilization of different methodologies. Indeed this augurs well for the environment.
