Research and Development
Global Energy maintains relationships with many scientific and research projects taking place around the world. We believe both government and independent projects will ultimately be utilized to reduce our energy needs and create a cleaner world for our children. We invite you to visit these websites for some of the latest breakthroughs in our industry.
ACORE
CEO David R. Ames is a member of ACORE (American Council on Renewable Energy) and serves as a member of CEO Council. ACORE is a non-profit organization that works to bring all forms of renewable energy into the American mainstream. Its research group involved with everything from Solar Energy to Hydro & Ocean Energy. ACORE leaders are also engaged in researching Wind power, Waste Energy and Fuels, Geothermal, and Biomass.
USDA
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is also heavily committed to the advancement of renewable energy and fuels. Under the USDA Energy Initiative, the goal of the Biobased Products and Bioenergy Program is to finance technologies needed to convert biomass into biobased products and bioenergy. The ongoing research seeks to discover technologies that can be cost-competitive in large national and international markets. The focus of this program is to promote national economic interests through the conversion of renewable farm and forestry resources to affordable electricity, fuel chemicals and other materials. Global Energy is working towards many of these same goals and considers USDA to be a working partner.
NREL
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has a team of scientists researching cutting edge technology in many fields, from hydrogen to wind power. In NREL's words, wind is a clean, inexhaustible, indigenous energy resource that can generate enough electricity to power millions of homes and businesses. You may not know this, but wind energy is one of the fastest growing forms of electricity generation in the world. According to NREL, the U.S. can currently generate more than 10,000 megawatts of electricity from wind, which is enough to power 2.5 million homes. Experts believe wind energy could eventually provide 20% of America?s energy needs.
