There are many different sectors and industries today trying to implement renewable energy. It has easily become one of the hottest topics discussed today. The main reason for renewable energy is to create a greener more efficient source that will have less of an effect on our world atmosphere. Not too many years ago, the government was making a push for more renewable energy and was offering subsidies for industrial size solar, wind, and other renewal plants. This was because the price tag on such plants were very costly and companies could not see the incentives in pushing the narrative without equity in the business. However, technology today is a bit more advanced than when we first started pushing for greener solutions and renewable energy is becoming the more sensible solution for many everyday.
The Next 10 Years
Renewable energy is expected to boom over the next foreseeable future. Wind power leads the way when it comes to cost efficiency but solar power is making it’s name as the more predominant source of renewable energy. Solar power can also come in many more forms than other renewable trends. This is in the case of panels to power housing, industrial sized solar plants supplying grids, and newer versions of solar windows powering commercial buildings and be tested on vehicles. With new technologies and drastic pricing drops within the different forms of renewable energy, investors are expected to invest roughly $10 trillion over the next 10 years. (DiLallo, 2020)
Other Notable Renewable Technologies
Although, solar and wind seem to be at the top of everyone’s mind when it comes to renewable energy sources, there are many other new innovative sources that have either been commissioned already or are in their test phase. Some of the most interesting technologies introduced in my are eyes are the specific types of geothermal plants that produce energy from the heat in the earth. Examples include the Salton Sea Power Station in Calipatria, California and the Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Station in Iceland that draws it heat and energy from volcanic land. These types of plants can produce upwards of 50 Megawatts and power thousands of homes. Another form innovative energy that my management team at P4P Construction has witnessed first hand is a municipal waste biofuels product. Fulcrum Sierra Biofuels plant is currently being construction In the Reno/Tahoe Industrial Center in Sparks, Nevada. It is a first of its kind industrial biofuels plant that burns municipal waste and filters it to create what is known and Syncrude oil. This Syncrude oil is in return processed into jet fuel. Who thought that we would be burning our waste one day to create cleaner forms of energy. There are many variations to create power and many companies are beginning to think outside the box to help create a competitive advantage within the renewable energy industries.
Whether you agree with the push for a greener renewable energy or you are firmly okay with the more traditional ways of fossil fuels and nuclear power, renewable energy is here to stay. P4P’s management team has had the opportunity to experience first hand how such projects are built and perform. We have helped manage the construction of such plants as Solana Solar Plant in Gila Bend, Arizona, Mohave Solar in Barstow, CA, Palo Verde Nucleur Plant in Tonopah, AZ and our most recent experience of the new Fulcrum Sierra Biofuels Plant in Sparks, NV. With the advancement of renewable energy and the forecasted investments in the near future, P4P and many other companies should be able to employ thousands of tradesman and help economical growth in the U.S.
Kuna sekta nyingi tofauti na viwanda leo kujaribu kutekeleza nishati mbadala. Kwa urahisi imekuwa mojawapo ya mada zenye kuvutia zaidi kuzungumziwa leo. Kwa sababu ya matumizi ya nishati mbadala, ni muhimu kuunda chanzo cha nishati cha kijani kibichi na cha ufanisi ambacho kitakuwa na athari ndogo kwa anga yetu. Hata hivyo, miaka michache iliyopita, serikali ilikuwa ikisukuma kwa nishati zaidi mbadala na ilikuwa ikitoa ruzuku kwa ukubwa wa viwanda vya jua, upepo, na mitambo mingine ya upya. Hii ni kwa sababu bei ya mimea kama hiyo ilikuwa ghali sana na makampuni hayakuweza kuona motisha katika kushinikiza hadithi bila usawa katika biashara. Hata hivyo, teknolojia leo ni kidogo zaidi ya maendeleo kuliko wakati sisi kwanza kuanza kushinikiza kwa ajili ya ufumbuzi kijani na nishati mbadala ni kuwa ufumbuzi busara zaidi kwa wengi kila siku. Katika miaka ya 10 ijayo, nishati ya mbadala inatarajiwa kuongezeka kwa kasi katika siku zijazo. Nishati ya upepo inaongoza wakati inakuja kwa ufanisi wa gharama lakini nishati ya jua ni kufanya jina lake kama chanzo zaidi ya nishati mbadala. Nishati ya jua pia inaweza kuja katika aina nyingi zaidi kuliko mwenendo mwingine wa nishati mbadala. Hii ni katika kesi ya paneli za umeme kwa nyumba, mitambo ya jua ya ukubwa wa viwanda inayotoa gridi, na matoleo mapya ya madirisha ya jua yanayotoa umeme kwa majengo ya kibiashara na kupimwa kwenye magari. Kwa sababu ya teknolojia mpya na kupungua kwa bei katika aina tofauti za nishati mbadala, wawekezaji wanatarajiwa kuwekeza karibu $ 10 trilioni katika miaka 10 ijayo. "DiLallo, 2020: ""Hata ingawa jua na upepo zinaonekana kuwa juu ya akili ya kila mtu linapokuja vyanzo vya nishati mbadala, kuna vyanzo vingine vingi vipya vya ubunifu ambavyo tayari vimeagizwa au viko katika awamu yao ya majaribio." Miongoni mwa teknolojia za kuvutia zaidi zinazotumiwa katika nchi hii ni aina maalum za mimea ya joto la ardhi ambayo hutengeneza nishati kutoka kwa joto la ardhi. Kituo cha umeme cha bahari cha Salton huko California na kituo cha umeme cha joto la ardhi cha Nesjavellir nchini Iceland ni mfano wa hali ya hewa ya joto. Mimea hiyo inaweza kuzalisha umeme wa megawatts 50 na kuwezesha maelfu ya nyumba. "Kama sehemu ya mpango wa ""P4P"" wa ujenzi, kampuni ya ujenzi ya P4P imeweka mikataba na kampuni ya ujenzi ya P4P ya ujenzi, ambayo inazalisha mafuta ya biofuel kutoka kwa taka za manispaa." Kiwanda cha Fulcrum Sierra Biofuels kwa sasa kinajengwa katika Kituo cha Viwanda cha Reno / Tahoe huko Sparks, Nevada. "Kampuni hiyo ni ya kwanza ya aina yake ya viwanda vya mafuta ya viumbe hai ambayo huchoma taka za manispaa na kuifuta ili kutengeneza kile kinachojulikana kama ""Syncrude Oil.""" Mafuta haya ya Syncrude hutengenezwa kuwa mafuta ya ndege. Ni nani angeweza kufikiria kwamba siku moja tungekuwa tukichoma taka zetu ili kutengeneza aina safi zaidi za nishati? Kuna tofauti nyingi za kuunda nguvu na makampuni mengi yanaanza kufikiria nje ya sanduku kusaidia kuunda faida ya ushindani ndani ya viwanda vya nishati mbadala. Kama wewe kukubaliana na kushinikiza kwa ajili ya kijani nishati mbadala au wewe ni imara sawa na njia ya jadi zaidi ya mafuta ya mafuta na nguvu ya nyuklia, nishati mbadala ni hapa kukaa. Timu ya usimamizi wa P4P imekuwa na fursa ya uzoefu wa kwanza jinsi miradi kama hiyo inajengwa na kufanya. "Tumesaidia kusimamia ujenzi wa mitambo kama vile Solana Solar Plant huko Gila Bend, Arizona, Mohave Solar huko Barstow, CA, Palo Verde Nuclear Plant huko Tonopah, AZ, na uzoefu wetu wa hivi karibuni wa kiwanda kipya cha Fulcrum Sierra Biofuels huko Sparks, NV. """ Kwa maendeleo ya nishati mbadala na uwekezaji uliokadiriwa katika siku zijazo, P4P na makampuni mengine mengi yanapaswa kuwa na uwezo wa kuajiri maelfu ya wafanyabiashara na kusaidia ukuaji wa kiuchumi nchini Marekani.
