Small Swiss village builds the first lift powered solar ski

Only the world that is solar powered lift is a small town agri Switzerland, Teena, home. The eco friendly lift was opened last year in December after two years of great perseverance. In fact, the small village, uses renewable energy sources to meet its energy needs. With only 112 people, you will find solar panels installed on the roofs of the houses.Loaded with solar panels lift can be found in Tenna T-bar.

Swiss people builds solar chairlift costs about $ 1.5 million to build the Green effort.
There is as 80 solar panels of the chairlift, which generate enough energy to take 800 people an hour. Solar panels are positioned for maximum energy and rotate according to the direction of the Sun. It gets inclined at an angle perpendicular during storms so the snow slides out easily.

Ranging up to 1640 feet, this 450 m long ski lift has an annual capacity of 90,000 kilowatts. When the Sun is at its best, the lift generates more energy than that consumed. This excess energy is sold to the grid to meet other requirements of energy and is a source of income generation. Build green projects is not easy and this solar powered lift cost 1.5 million dollars to the Association of Tenna Skilift.

Tourism officials are quite hopeful that the chairlift will attract more tourists to Tenna. It is interesting to note that there are very few towns or cities around the world, which depends on mother nature for their daily energy requirements. Tenna is a model for all cities and people, which aims to combat the huge problem of climate change, to be greener in the near future no doubt.

First film with Solar energy in India

The prasad imaxcinemaslocated in the city of Hyderabadin the Indian State of andhra pradesh, will be the first in the country self-sufficient in electricity generating solar energy..

prasad imax has installed solar panels on the roofs of its building to obtain a 100KWp photovoltaic power generation system. The installation is constructed to withstand the strong winds and other weather, and has a guaranteed life of 25 years. With solar energy obtained it will supply electricity for lighting and displays complex, generating a significant energy savings.
This step has become the first "green" of the India cinema, and continues to demonstrate that it is one of the leading companies in this market (already holds the record for IMAX 3D the world's largest screen). Being a place of encounter and recreation for thousands of families and young people, this undertaking of prasad imax will surely serve to put into the public's attention the importance of the use of renewable energy sources.

Iron: the first 100% renewable world island

The residents of the small island of El Hierro (Canary Islands) will soon be able to live and work without having to exhaust non-renewable sources of energy, producing its own energy from renewable energy like wind, water, a dormant volcano and the Sun. The iron already has been declared Biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2000, and soon remove its footprint of carbon (44,000 barrels of oil per year).


The most innovative and technically difficult aspect would be the production of hydroelectric power generated by the pumping of water to a height of 2300 meters (the height of the volcano) to the crater of the dormant volcano. This water will be released through four hydroelectric turbines back into the original source, which is located near the coast.

Hydropower it will provide 11.3MW coupled with 11.5 MW of wind energy, covering 80 percent of the energy needed to supply 11,000 homes, three desalination plants, as well as the energy needs of the tourists who come to be 60,000 or more people. The remaining 20 percent will be for solar thermal and photovoltaic solar panels.

Parks marine eolicos: approve the first in the U.S. after ten years

United States is a country that definitely needs to be accessible to other more developed in the generation of renewable energy.  A good step in that direction is the final approval of Cape wind, which will be its first wind farm marino, a project that took 10 years to be approved.

 
The new marine wind park will be located from the town of horseshoe shoal, in the State of Massachusetts, is in the South-West of the country on the Atlantic coast. It will be with 130 turbines that will give you the ability to generate 420 MW of electricity which will be sufficient to provide 75% of the energy needs of 75% of the peninsula of Cape cod and its nearby islands

He is expected that the construction of the marine wind park begins next fall. However still needs to move forward in more commercial contracts to allocate 50% of the wind energy that will produce. At the time, the first half of the total quota has already been reserved for the national network.
