Hi Khamhiane, If you happen to be anywhere near the SE US I can reccommend the Piedmont Biofuels tour. They are quite friendly and put up with me asking them questions for hours. There also quite a few other BD plants scattered in the US. Good luck. -Mike Keith Addison wrote: Hello

Emil, I think that you ca assume that it was BS, because to only to get a surface to absorb 90%, would be very difficult. If you managed to absorb 90%, your conversion process to electricity would then have 100% efficiency at always? Maybe the site do better in selling flowers. The highest

The best result will depend entirely on the specific circumstances. Not all places boast good solar or wind energy resources. Could be both, one or the other or neither in any specific location. That requires analysis (data logging or existing insolation or wind maps can only provide

Why do you hate batteries? They are a needed device. I would rather have a hydrogen PEM fuel cell setup. Use wind to feed a water seperation tank then feed the H2/O2 to the hPEM. Only use the hPEM when power beyond the wind source is needed, or at locations remote from the wind fed grid.

Regardless of the climate changes wind is cheaper by far. lets say you need 25Kw/H per day (that is my average use) This assumes no storage facility and constant production Solar you have MAYBE 12 hours/day to make electricity. Of that you can only count on 25% to be producing MAX panel power.
