Biodiesel Plant to be Powered with Geothermal
Wabuska Nevada is home to the world’s first geothermally powered and heated biodiesel plant, run by Infinifuel Biodiesel. In addition to biodiesel production facilities, the site provides oilseed storage, crushing and pressing facilities. There are over 300 acres to grow oilseed and develop algae ponds on site. The facility is home to the first geothermal power plant in Nevada. There are two production geothermal wells and seven power production units providing over 5 MW of electrical energy. In addition, the 220 degree steam will be used in the production of biodiesel on site. The plant is in the final construction stage, with 17 stainless steel tanks in place, housed in and around a 5,000 sq. ft building and workshop/ lab facility. The facility currently has two biodiesel reactors with 22,000 gallon per day capacity. The plant will produce five million gallons per year of biodiesel. Infinifuel has been working with the University of Nevada Reno Agricultural Extension to promote the planting of oilseed as a rotation crop with hay and alfalfa in Nevada. Nevada could position the state as the crushing center for the western US, and in doing so poise itself to be a major biofuel production location. The […]

Solel & Sacyr to Build 50MW Solar Thermal Plants
Solel Solar Systems, Ltd. and Sacyr-Vallehermoso have signed an agreement to build three solar thermal plants in Spain with a total capacity of 150MW and at an estimated overall value of US$890 million. Solel’s scope of supply for all three projects is estimated at around US$500 million. Based in Israel, this marks Solel’s first turnkey power project to be delivered in Spain on a Build, Own and Operate (BOO) basis. The project also enables Solel to act as provider of solar energy in Europe for the first time. The current price per kilowatt/hour for produced solar thermal electricity in Spanish electricity projects stands at 30 cents. The rate is subsidized by the Spanish Government for a period of 25 years in order to support & encourage the innovation and implementation of alternative domestic energy sources, clean electricity and to support local electricity production. “Solel is delighted to be working with a highly reputable infrastructure company in Europe such as Sacyr,” said Avi Brenmiller, CEO of Solel Solar Systems. “We believe that the combination of cutting-edge solar technology, know-how and solutions from Solel, combined with the local knowledge and construction expertise of Sacyr will have a significant positive impact on the […]
