Assuming a 35% load factor, the turbine can produce electricity at 4 to 7 cents a kilowatt-hour.
Still, companies that produce electricity in Texas appear to be putting their money behind these clean technologies.
It is costing more for the company to produce electricity than to sell it in the marketplace.
The first is for thermal coal, the cheapest and most popular way for emerging economies to produce electricity.
To get around this problem, Friend turned to a piezoelectric power source--crystals that produce electricity when under pressure.
The second is hydrogen, which is suitable for cooking or for powering a fuel cell to produce electricity.
We're investing in new technologies to produce electricity in cleaner ways, including solar and wind energy, clean coal technologies.
It will therefore be able to produce electricity until the fuel runs out or September 2014, whichever comes first.
When pressure forces the water up other, nearby wells, it is hot enough to run a turbine and produce electricity.
The rot produces methane, which is collected via a network of pipes that penetrate the mountain, and burned to produce electricity.
These will run on photovoltaic cells, which produce electricity directly from sunlight.
Solar panels produce electricity, which we otherwise get from coal, natural gas, uranium, and water, through big hydroelectric dams in the west.
FORBES: Why Is This So Hard? Solar Power Doesn't Replace Oil
They require pure hydrogen to produce electricity, and no one has figured out an economical way to store and transport that fuel.
Another clean technology, which uses synthetic gas to produce electricity, appears promising, but it is expensive for now and not widely available.
Another way to fly farther is to swap the batteries for hydrogen and use that in a fuel cell to produce electricity.
This can then be used to produce electricity using a fuel cell.
For example, wind farms produce electricity only when the wind is blowing.
When fully operational it is estimated to produce electricity for 5, 000 homes.
Such measures should reduce the amount of fuel needed to produce electricity.
AgCert builds sealed pools to contain the pig-effluent in Brazil and Mexico, captures the methane it produces and burns it to produce electricity.
Solar panels produce electricity in DC, which needs to transform into AC for feeding the electric grid or for using the power onsite.
FORBES: Google-backed Transphorm Raises $25M For Power Conversion Tech
But as its nuclear power stations have been shut, the country's electricity providers have been relying more heavily on thermal power plants to produce electricity.
At these rates, within a decade, solar energy will cost much less than what we pay to our utility companies which produce electricity from fossil fuels.
FORBES: Forget The Sequester: Entrepreneurs Are Saving The Future
Fuel cells which produce electricity from the combination of hydrogen and oxygen, would supplement other energy sources and release only water vapour into the environment.
Further, the rising cost of energy makes converting municipal and industrial waste into advanced biofuels or combusting it to produce electricity an increasingly economic option.
Last month the Wylfa plant was given permission to move fuel between two reactors which will allow it to produce electricity for another two years.
These devices, which work by combining hydrogen with oxygen from the air to produce electricity, are popular candidates to replace internal-combustion engines in road vehicles.
Unlike other forms of DG, CHP is not a single technology but a suite of technologies that produce electricity and heat in an integrated process.
FORBES: Obama's Energy Policy: 'All of the Above' Means 'All of the Above'
Scientists have known for a while that microbes produce electricity, but no one has managed to get them to produce enough of it to matter.
FORBES: Better Than A Kite In A Thunderstorm: The New Science Of Generating Zap From Trash
