Not just for heat and power generation, but as a key transportation fuel.

The proof is in the pudding on this point: every dollar of public-sector funds received by these projects was being matched by nearly four dollars in private-sector investment toward buying and installing the systems that generate on-site electricity and use waste-heat created during generation.
And combined heat and power, which allows companies and householders to use the heat created by power generation as well as the electricity it produces, is booming.
"Left unchecked, power generation and heat would have limited the devices we build today and the ones we could imagine in the future, " says Otellini, who recently ascended to the chief executive post at Intel .

Some power operators fear, however, that that they will get sued if they equip their facilities so that they could capture excess heat, which could alter the generation process and thus violate the New Source Review, writes Melissa Mullarkey, for Recycled Energy Development.
Dr Kanatzidis argues that wherever heat is generated as part of power generation, thermoelectric devices could help extract more useful energy.

Fab 15 will be TSMC's next "green fab" following Fab 12 and Fab 14, incorporating green concepts in energy conservation and pollution control in its design, including a process water conservation rate of 85%, reclamation of rainwater, recirculation and reuse of general exhaust heat, and development of solar power generation and LED lighting applications.

The resort prides itself on its environmental initiative, which has led to the generation of clean electricity from geothermal heat produced by the hot spring.
In recent years, this dynamic has become especially problematic as technological advances have accelerated market penetration of customer-sited solar photovoltaics, combined heat and power and other genres of distributed generation.

No doubt Mr Abbas, who is part of that generation of Arab leaders now feeling the heat of frustration across the region, hopes that he can seize the initiative, gaining popular support in the process.
There is hopeful talk in western capitals of making more of new friendships with a younger generation of politicians that were forged or consolidated in the heat of the Kosovo war: for instance, Pandeli Majko and Ljupcho Georgievski, respective prime ministers of Albania and Macedonia, and Nadezhda Mihailova, Bulgaria's foreign minister.
Meanwhile, wind and building-integrated solar modules with high efficiency photovoltaic materials can supplement our electrical generation capability, as stricter building codes and improved insulation can decrease the energy used to heat and cool buildings.

It does not come as any surprise that the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) in the US can see the massive military potential for a new generation of supersensitive, miniature, robust, uncooled, infrared detectors inspired by a humble heat-seeking beetle.
