University research into alternative energy sources
Decades of tree and biomass research jointly by Florida State University and Shell Energy led to the planting of the largest single market, "Energy Crop Plantation" in the entire United States out.
This research is based on the cultivation and processing of biomass energy supplies from fast-growing plants as a "closed loop biomass" or simply "energy crops" focuses known.
University involvement in alternative energy research is also on the Penn State University. At Penn State, especially the research is focused on the development of hydrogen power as a practical alternative energy source.
When President Bush recently announced his alternative energy initiative, he decided that the government would develop five "said Grant" centers for concentrated research.
OSU President Edward Ray says, the research by OSU Sun Grant center will be carried out directly contribute to our meeting President Bush's challenge for energy independence.
Specific research into alternative energy, conducted at OSU by varios teams of scientists, now a project to figure out how to efficiently convert products such as straw into a source of renewable biomass fuel, and further study, how you can efficiently convert wood fibers into liquid fuel.
While wind-power generation has created more than 19,000 short-term construction jobs in Illinois, the state has only about 800 permanent jobs at wind farms and will miss most potentially far more permanent jobs on the manufacturing side, according to a study released Tuesday.
The study from Illinois State University economist David Loomis explains the economic benefits of wind power as the construction jobs and property taxes in rural districts, where turbine farms are built.
So far, Illinois has only slightly more than 1,000 manufacturing jobs related to wind energy, according to the American Wind Energy Association.
The study comes as the industry waits for the renewal of a tax incentive that has driven a boom in wind farm construction is something that industry analysts say is unlikely in an election year.
"It will be a boom cycle, followed by a potential bust cycle in 2013," said Matt Kaplan, associate director at IHS Emerging Energy Research in Massachusetts.
Illinois, after the ISU study is the fourth largest producer of wind energy among the U.S. states of 3334 MW to 2443 MW a year ago.
Wind farm buildings in the state has led to 814 permanent jobs that pay over $ 59,000 per year on average, a strong level in rural areas where jobs are located, said Loomis.
Illinois State Center for Renewable Energy has a number of workshops for companies that run in the wind power business interests, worked with state officials heading to the final events in the industry to recruit to try the manufacturer, and tried to manufacturers adjust interest in moving into the wind turbine industry with decision makers who need parts.
It was not immediately clear Tuesday if any have received wind industry manufacturers, such loans.
The state has about 28 companies involved in some aspects of wind power production, says the Wind Energy Association.
The study also says wind farms generate $ 28.5 million per year in property taxes.
The two large wind farms in McLean County, for example, pay almost $ 5 million combined property taxes, said Robert Kahman, the county supervisor of assessments. 2 generator of county property tax revenue, just behind State Farm Insurance's headquarters in Bloomington.
