The Renewable Energy Institute is a Non-Profit, 501 (c)(3) organization that is Changing The Way The World Does Energy by Providing Research & Development, Funding and Resources That Create Pollution Free Power, Carbon Free Energy & Renewable Energy Technologies. We fund important research that leading professors, grad students and universities are conducting that will make America energy independent and end our dependence on foreign fossil fuels.

The Renewable Energy Institute offers three types of Feasibility Reviews & Studies:

Phase I Preliminary Screening Review - Depending on the specific type of study, location, amount of time we require, and any additional requirements that may be added by the client.  This  review averages about $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 and requires 30 to 60 days to complete and may include a site visit to one of our affiliated facilities.

Phase II Feasibility Study and Analysis - Provides a solid basis for moving a potential renewable energy project forward.  The cost for this depends on the type, location, amount of time we require, and any additional requirements that may be included by the client. This study can cost from $50,000.00 and run as high as $100,000.00 and requires 90 to 120 days, on average, to complete. Final result is usually a basis for a loan or other investment funding.

Phase III Detailed Concept, Engineering and Design Analysis - the actual renewable energy project is conceived, designed and engineered. Final result is usually ready for a company to start construction. A Phase III can take about 6 months to complete and will cost anywhere from 5% to 10% of the overall cost of the project.     

Our Feasibility Reviews, Studies and Analyses are led by one of our engineers and PhD's that serve on our Scientific Advisory Board. They are each recognized leaders in the renewable energy industry and/or academia.  Our goal is to help you determine whether your renewable energy is viable, identify the merits of your proposed renewable energy project, identify weak points, provide our recommended course of action, as well as our recommendations for products and equipment that need further review or consideration.   

Our Feasibility Studies are an excellent "foundation" for building your next renewable energy project.

The Renewable Energy Institute is now Developing
The "Sustainable Urban Living" Model of
Community Sustainability  

What is "Renewable Energy?"

"Renewable Energy is defined as any energy resource that is naturally regenerated over a short time scale and derived directly from the sun (such as thermal, photochemical, and photoelectric), indirectly from the sun (such as wind, hydropower, and photosynthetic energy stored in biomass), or from other natural movements and mechanisms of the environment (such as geothermal and tidal energy). Renewable energy does not include energy resources derived from fossil fuels, waste products from fossil sources, or waste products from inorganic sources."

Why We Need Renewable Energy NOW!

Global warming and climate change are symptoms of a sick planet and the results of unrestrained "dumping" of huge amounts of pollution - in the form of carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.

The vast majority of carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions comes from "dirty" fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) used in making electricity at power plants and dirty fuels (gasoline and petroleum diesel) that run our internal combustion engines in our cars, trains, planes, and trucks. Our planet is home to millions and millions of internal combustion engines that run on dirty fossil fuels - whether they are fueled with gasoline for running our cars and lawnmowers or running on diesel fuel in the engines of trucks and ships like the very large crude carriers that transport the crude oil all around the world...... every internal combustion engine that is running on dirty fossil fuels is dumping millions and millions of tons of carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions into our atmosphere - which is aggravating and exacerbating our sick planet - and making manmade climate change and global warming more difficult to resolve through manmade remedies and solutions.

According to the United Nations: "It is estimated that Greenhouse Gas Emissions  trading markets could be worth $2 Trillion by 2012."

ANNOUNCING THE OPENING OF THE
RENEWABLE ENERGY INSTITUTE 
FOR THE STATE OF FLORIDA!

The State of Florida joins the State of Texas and now has its' own Renewable Energy Institute!  

We are pleased to announce that Mr. Brian Dugas has been elected to serve as the Executive Director of the Renewable Energy Institute for the State of Florida. More information can be found on their new website at:

www.RenewableEnergyInstitute.org/Florida.htm

The Renewable Energy Institute in Florida, like the REI in Texas, will be focused on identifying the unique Renewable Energy Resources of Florida (such as solar, biomass and wind), along with the unique Renewable Energy Technologies (like Anaerobic Digesters, Bioenergy Centers, Biogas Plants, Biomass Gasification, Demand Side Management, Geothermal Power Plants, Ground Source heat Pumps, Hydrogen fuel Cells, Solar Trigeneration, etc.) that will help Florida and Floridian's by providing them with "carbon free energy" and "pollution free power" that will end carbon dioxide emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, which will help mitigate and reverse climate change and global warming.

The Renewable Energy Institute is leading the engineering and design to develop the world's best Anaerobic Digesters.

Anaerobic Digesters recover Biomethane from organic materials and prevents the Biomethane - which has a Global Warming Potential that is 21 times more harmful to our climate than Carbon Dioxide Emissions - from entering the atmosphere.  

The Biomethane, which we also refer to as "Renewable Natural Gas" is then used as a fuel for our cogeneration and trigeneration power plants. Alternatively, we may sell the Biomethane to a customer and transport it to them from our Anaerobic Digesters via natural gas pipelines.  We believe Anaerobic Digesters are so vital for renewable energy production and preventing climate change, that all wastewater treatment plants as well as most CAFO's (concentrated animal feeding operations) - no matter what country - will be installing Anaerobic Digesters to prevent Biomethane from entering the atmosphere and help reverse climate change.

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Since the year 1750

##

World CO2 since 1750 (cubic feet)

The carbon clock tracks total carbon dioxide emissions in metric tons since 1750.

Since 1750, humans have emitted over 5 trillion pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Roughly half of this has ended up in the oceans where it is beginning to damage the coral reefs. The other half is still in the atmosphere and causing global warming. Each pound of CO2 takes up as much space as a 500 pound person.

The formula (which should be good for a year or two) is:
C(t) = 2.58 ×1012 + 1240×t, where t is seconds since the start of 2007.

C is tonnes (metric tons) of carbon dioxide emissions.
2205 x C gives pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.

That comes to over 43 billion tons/year or over 86 trillion pounds/year.

Carbon dioxide (2) = 1 carbon atom with 2 oxygen atoms.
Carbon has relative weight 12 and Oxygen 16.
So it takes only 12 pounds of carbon to make 12+16+16 = 44 pounds of CO2.

"The basic insight is to realize that global warming, the geopolitics of oil, and warfare in the Persian Gulf are not separate problems --- they are aspects of a single problem, the West's dependence on oil."
- R. James Woolsey, former CIA Director

We believe "carbon free energy" and "pollution free power" are the best possible solutions for the many economic, environmental and political/geo-political and societal problems caused by fossil fuels. We must  become less dependent on unstable, foreign oil and energy supplies and reduce our "addiction" to fossil fuels so that we can become energy independent - so that we will not be held hostage by counties with large supplies of fossil fuels such as Iran or Russia.

Since energy and power are the lifeblood of our economy - and we need to discontinue the use of all fossil fuels to stop/reverse the pollution from carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions - how do we provide for the energy and power that we need that keeps our economy healthy? The answer and the future is "renewable energy."

Sacramento, California USA and Sweden

In a ceremony held at the Ministry of the Environment in Stockholm, representatives of the Kingdom of Sweden and the State of California signed an agreement pledging the two governments and their related industries to work together to develop bioenergy, with a particular emphasis on Biomethane. 

“Through a strong working relationship between its industry and government, Sweden is showing how bioenergy can be developed in a cost-effective manner that benefits its economy and environment. We are extremely pleased to have signed this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will provide a basis for intensified collaboration between Swedish and California officials to develop a thriving bioenergy industry in California,” said Joe Desmond, Undersecretary for the California Resources Agency.

In particular, Sweden has been a global leader in terms of converting biowaste, largely agricultural material and residues, into usable Biomethane. This gas is then used to either generate electricity, residential heating, or as a transportation fuel.

More than 8,000 vehicles in Sweden are powered by a combination of natural gas and Biomethane. The vehicles include transit buses, refuse trucks, and more than 10 different models of passenger cars. There are more than 25 Biomethane production facilities in Sweden and 65 filling stations. The Swedish Biomethane industry has been growing at an annual rate of about 20 percent over the last five years.

According to the Swedish Gas Association, more than 50 percent of the methane used to power Sweden’s natural gas vehicles now comes from biological sources, up from 45% last year. Natural gas vehicle sales in Sweden are increasing at the rate of 25% per annum. 

Sweden was motivated to develop its Biomethane industry because it has no natural gas reserves, to more efficiently manage its waste, and to meet its obligations under the Kyoto Accord. Since Biomethane is developed from methane sources that would normally release into the atmosphere, it’s considered one of the most climate friendly fuels. Methane (and Biomethane) is 21 times more reactive as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide (CO2). Sweden is currently meetings its objectives and schedule as outlined in the Kyoto accord.

Biomethane is developed by heating up and breaking down biomaterials in an (Anaerobic Digester) digester. Among other raw materials, Swedish operators feed their Anaerobic Digesters with slaughterhouse waste, swine manure, and even grassy crops. After the materials breakdown over a 20 day period, technology is then used to remove the impurities and produce Biomethane. Once cleaned-up, Biomethane is 98 percent methane and easily meets the Swedish and California pipeline standards.

The Memorandum of Understanding can be accessed on the California Resources Agency Web site: http://resources.ca.gov/press_documents/CaliforniaSwedenBiofuelsMOU.pdf

The Renewable Energy Institute is presently researching, designing and engineering the world's best Anaerobic Digesters.

Anaerobic Digesters recover valuable and toxic Biomethane from organic materials and prevents the Biomethane - which has a Global Warming Potential that is 21 times more harmful to our climate than Carbon Dioxide Emissions - from entering the atmosphere.  

Biomethane, which we also refer to as "Renewable Natural Gas" is used as a renewable fuel for our cogeneration and trigeneration power plants. Alternatively, we may sell the Biomethane to a customer and transport it to them from our Anaerobic Digesters via natural gas pipelines.

We believe Anaerobic Digesters and Biomethane represent an exciting opportunity for multiple reasons:

1.  Anaerobic Digesters take an existing liability and waste (Biomethane) and convert it into an asset and profit generator.  

2.  Anaerobic Digesters mitigate and reverse by preventing Biomethane to escape into the atmosphere, which is one of the major causes of global warming and climate change.  Of all Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Biomethane is 21 times more harmful to the atmosphere than are Carbon Dioxide Emissions.

3.  Anaerobic Digesters are vital for renewable energy production and helping our country's drive for energy independence. 

4.  EVERY wastewater treatment plant as well as ALL Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO's) - IN EVERY COUNTRY - will soon be installing Anaerobic Digesters to prevent Biomethane from entering the atmosphere and help reverse climate change as well as for use as a renewable fuel.

5.  The country of Sweden is the global leader in Biomethane production.  Sweden has identified the Biomethane opportunities and is converting biowaste derived from agricultural material and residues into usable Biomethane. The Biomethane is used to generate clean, renewable electricity, residential heating, and also as a transportation fuel. Biomass sources make up 45% of Sweden’s Biomethane.  Sweden's Biomethane industry has been growing at an annual rate of around 20% over the last five years.  Biomethane powers more than 8,000 transit buses, garbage trucks, and 10 different models of passenger cars in Sweden. Sweden now has more than 25 Biomethane production facilities and 65 filling stations. The country believes that since Biomethane is developed from natural, organic sources that would have been released into the atmosphere, that Biomethane is considered one of the most climate-friendly fuels. Biomethane is 98% methane and easily meets the Swedish and California pipeline standards.

Biomethane -
the World's Most Perfect, Renewable Fuel?

As Biomethane is a near perfect fuel, and since Biomethane represents the best of all biofuels in terms of Recycling Carbon, and has the highest Net Energy Balance, and as Biomethane technologies such as Anaerobic Digesters and Biomass Gasification development increases and becomes even more commonplace, one of the fundamental questions is: what is the size of the potential biomass resource supply in the U.S.?

In April 2005, the DOE and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) co-published a report assessing the potential of the land resources in the U.S. for producing sustainable biomass: Biomass as Feedstock for a Bioenergy and Bioproducts Industry: The Technical Feasibility of a Billion-Ton Annual Supply. Looking at forestland and agricultural land, the two largest potential biomass sources, this study estimates that the U.S. can sustainably produce up to 1.3 billion tons of biomass feedstock by mid-century. This would be enough feedstock to produce 60 billion gallons of B100 Biodiesel and E100 Ethanol with today's technologies.

This study doesn't address the opportunities for Biomethane production from biomass feedstock or Biomass Gasification technologies. Some recent estimates indicate that Biomethane could replace up to 50% of present natural gas consumption in the U.S. and in some countries, such as Iceland, Biomethane already provides 100% of the natural gas requirements.

There are many assumptions in the Billion Ton Study report that impact these estimates, but we believe the estimates reasonably reflect the potential availability and impact of biomass resources.

Of the total estimated resource, the study suggests that forestlands in the contiguous United States can produce approximately 368 million dry tons annually. This projection includes 52 million dry tons of fuelwood harvested from forests and woodlands, 145 million dry tons of residues from wood processing mills and pulp and paper mills, 47 million dry tons of urban wood residues including construction and demolition debris, 64 million dry tons of residues from logging and site clearing operations, and 60 million dry tons of biomass from fuel treatment operations.

Biomass to Biofuels By "converting" biomass wastes – such as municipal solid waste, sewage sludge, crop residues, energy crops, and manure – into biofuels, this will resolve the energy, environmental and political problems in an economical and environmentally sound manner - that will produce over one million new jobs.

According to Jeff Seisler, Director of the European Natural Gas Vehicle Association, "Biomethane has an outstanding potential as a multifaceted solution to multifaceted social problems: urban and agricultural waste management, water purification, and clean air. Urban and agricultural waste can be processed into usable methane, as can the sewage during the water purification process. Cleaning and compressing the gas for use in vehicles then provides cleaner air than petroleum-consuming vehicles."

Continuing, Mr. Seisler states about Biomethane; "this environmental 'closed loop waste-to-energy-to-fuel used in vehicles that again truck the next load of waste to the energy processing plants-substitutes fossil fuels with a renewable resource and reduces greenhouse gases 100% as compared to over gasoline vehicles (on a well-to-wheel basis).

According to Peter Boisen Chairman, of ENGVA, "various well respected European research institutes now estimate more than three times better fuel output per hectare of land used than if going for ethanol or biodiesel. Sweden currently has a 51% Biomethane share, and Switzerland 37%. France, Norway, Germany and Austria use smaller amounts for vehicles. Iceland, completely without natural gas, uses 100% biomethane in its NGVs," Boisen says.  Continuing, Boisen adds, "China, India, Korea, the Ukraine, Spain and Italy are other examples of countries now starting up projects where Biomethane will be used as a vehicle fuel." 

"With the energy efficiency of the gas production process at 50% to 70% it's hard to think of a more socially acceptable and economic energy value for the transportation sector," Boisen says.

"Governments need to get out of their liquid fuel paradigm to refocus and balance their policies and communications to support the development of a Biomethane infrastructure. In Europe Biomethane has the potential to replace 20% of the petroleum consumed in the transport sector by 2030."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 12, 2007
Austin, Texas

RENEWABLE ENERGY INSTITUTE TO BE LOCATED IN AUSTIN TEXAS

In response to plans by TXU and Reliant Energy (and their provider of electricity - NRG Energy) to build nineteen (19) unnecessary and dangerous coal plants in Texas, Monty Goodell, Founder and Executive Director of the Renewable Energy Institute ("REI") is choosing today to announce the official location of the Renewable Energy Institute - which will be located in Austin, Texas - which has been recognized by many as the "Clean Energy Capital" of the world.

After years of preparation and selection of a preeminent and leading Scientific Advisory Board for the Renewable Energy Institute, Mr. Goodell is pleased to announce that the initial members of REI's Scientific Advisory Board are recognized scientists, professors and leaders in the field of renewable energy and renewable energy technologies.

Renewable energy includes; Biomass and Biomass Gasification, Biofuels (Biomethane, B100 Biodiesel and E100 Ethanol), Demand Side Management, Energy Conservation Measures, Energy Efficiency Measures, Fuel Cells, Geothermal, Hydrogen, Ocean Power/Tidal Power, Solar Power and Energy (Concentrating Solar Power, Concentrating Photovoltaics, Solar Thermal) Waste Heat Recovery and Wind Power Generation. 

Mr. Goodell adds, "several of the initial members of our Scientific Advisory Board are also professors in several of our universities here in Texas."

Additionally, the Renewable Energy Institute has received the support from environmental groups and organizations as well as individuals within various agencies with the State of Texas and also manufacturers and developers of alternative and renewable energy products.

"Now is the time for the Renewable Energy Institute to be birthed," says Goodell, adding, "with the rising concerns for clean, pollution free power, and carbon free energy, global warming, and the pollution associated with power generated from pulverized coal power plants, which harms unborn babies, and kills our fish, and causes acid rain, combined with the fact that concentrating solar power plants can now be built at costs far less than building coal-fired power plants.  And when you consider that electric rates - which were some of the lowest in the country at 8 cents/kWh before energy deregulation in Texas in 2002, have now doubled since deregulation went into effect, and are now running around 15 cents/kWh..... the logical conclusion for most people is that renewable energy has always been far superior for our environment, but now, renewable energy is also affordable. So far, the electric companies haven't been able to place a meter on the sun!"

Continuing, Mr. Goodell adds, "Texas is now at a crossroads, we can continue doing what we've been doing, building more fossil fuel power plants, and coal fired power plants, that come at a severe cost to our environment and the lives and health of our children and unborn children, as well as our planet, or we can do the right thing, and start building 'pollution free power' and power plants that produce 'carbon free energy.'  It's now time to begin the transition of our society and economy from one that was based on dirty, inefficient, uneconomic, and non-sustainable 'brown' fossil-fuels based power plants to a society and economy that is based on safe, clean, green, sustainable and renewable energy that is affordable, carbon-free energy, pollution free power. The future is now, not years in the future. Texas, in just a few shot years has become the leader in wind power generation. We need to build more wind power generation farms and start building concentrating solar power plants. We need to recover and harness the 'free' power of Biomethane that is 21 times more harmful to our planet and environment than carbon dioxide emissions. And since deregulation of the electric industry in Texas, the electric companies have abandoned 'demand side management' and 'energy conservation measures' programs for their customers.... and you can't blame them, because they only make money by selling MORE kWh's, not less, which is what demand side management programs do, save their customers money by conserving electricity, which means the electric companies make less money as they are not selling as many kWh's as before. It has been estimated that Demand Side Management and Energy Conservation Measure can save customers at least 25% to 30% on their electric bills, and delay the need for building ANY new power plants in Texas until at least 2015.

We have the technologies readily available and off the shelf today, we only need a little more foresight and planning on the part of our leaders in Texas' government, as well as the shareholders and investors of the two electric companies wanting to build 19 new, unsustainable pulverized coal power plants. These two companies are already the two largest polluters in the State of Texas. The evidence is clear, we can, and we must EXCEED the 20 x 20 Renewable Portfolio Standard initiative which Congress is suggesting.  Texas has been abundantly blessed with "natural" renewable energy resources that don't harm our health, and our children's health or our environment. We need to re-direct our legislators and politicians to the clean, clear and bright vision of renewable energy which is more profitable, and more sustainable, and we will all breathe easier, sleep better, and know that our children - and our children's children, and their children, will inherit a planet that is cooler, cleaner, greener, for generations to come.
