Green Power – Fuel Cells

Green Power is the term that refers to any form of electricity from a renewable source, such as wind Power, , hydro Power, , solar power, .

Renewable Power may be acquired in some 30 states, unfortunately, not in all 50 of them, from an alternative electricity supplier. Even if your state doesn't offer alternative electricity, you may still be able to buy green energy certificates. This means that you might have to transfer from your current power company in order to purchase these green tags. ,

Hydro-power or water power has been in use for hundreds of years and is still the most common form of energy used today. The downfall of this has been that electric plants could only be built near a water supply and a river would have to be dammed up to create a water fall to turn the turbines. This gives hydro energy a limited range for consumers. ,

A survey from Siemens USA states that Wind power is the fastest growing energy source on the planet. , Wind Power uses massive wind mills that turn powerful turbines, usually found in large scale wind farms, to produce an efficient amount of energy all over the world, providing electricity to remote areas. , Siemens has 6,300 wind turbines all over the world, including their offshore wind Farms.

Solar energy has been used for many years, mostly to heat water heaters and swimming pools; they have recently created solar panels that heat residential homes., Solar power takes energy from the sun and converts this energy into electricity. You can purchase portable solar panels that may be installed on caravans, motorhomes and Boats. , Solar panels are smaller today than in previous years.

With all the types of energy we have today, people are still researching a more efficient and cheaper source of energy due to the continued use of fossil energy polluting the earth's atmosphere. After many years of development and research, a new power cell, called the EFOY (Energy For You), has been developed by the company SFC (Smart Fuel Cell). This new power cell is environmentally friendly,, quiet,, light weight, and it is fully automatic, it can produce energy for caravans, , boats,, cars, and motor homes. There is a distinct difference between a battery and a fuel cell. A fuel cell converts chemical energy directly to electrical energy by using a liquid fuel (methanol) as its power source. They work efficiently at low temperatures, which make fuel cells more suitable for mobile uses, as it can be used as a generator when no other power is available, and it is completely maintenance free. This low cost energy efficient fuel cell is now available from TSW Comsat, a company in the UK that provides green power equipment.
