Renewable Technology

 

Many consider hydrogen to be a key element in addressing long-term energy security, environmental and economic concerns.  Safer than and economically competitive with gasoline, diesel and natural gas, hydrogen is non-polluting, can help prevent the depletion of fossil fuel reserves and can be produced in any country.

 

Hydrogen can fuel today’s internal combustion engine vehicles as well as developing fuel-cell vehicles.  It can replace natural gas in heating and cooling homes and powering hot water heaters, and is used extensively today to produce ammonia, methanol, gasoline and heating fuel.

 

Though the hydrogen production process is typically quite costly due to the great amount of electricity required in the electrolysis process, Jetstream Wind Inc. can power its hydrogen production facilities with renewable energy, making the process extremely cost-effective. 

 

Thus, Jetstream Wind, Inc. is able to produce hydrogen at a lower cost to supply both the industrial hydrogen market and hydrogen fueling stations, with the objective of contributing to the development of a long-term energy infrastructure.

 

Energy produced by wind and solar technologies is intermittent by nature and cannot by itself provide “firm” power for dispatch, thus presently requiring back up by various types of fossil fuel plants.  With industrial hydrogen production currently limited primarily to petroleum refineries, these means have never become efficient or economically feasible enough to run a utility-scale gas-fired power plant. The assurance of firm power with renewables has thusly remained a major obstacle in the timely development and integration of green energy infrastructure worldwide.

 

Jetstream Wind, Inc. is currently working on projects which benefit whole energy industries in their power production techniques, storage processes and ability to deliver stable energy.

 

The process of creating electricity from sustainably generated hydrogen releases no greenhouse gases whatsoever and permits the use of salt water and gray water, resulting in a byproduct of distilled water on the back-end.  Proponents of global hydrogen argue that it’s the cleanest form of energy available to date.  For areas on the planet with no access to fresh water, this potential becomes very significant.

 

The energy products we design have the potential for large-scale implementation and the ability to provide crucial components in the quest to fortify global energy supply with renewables and greatly reduce carbon emissions in the earth’s atmosphere, helping establish the new Hydrogen Economy and providing a solution previously only resolved with fossil fuels.

 

 

The quantity of energy the sun emits toward the Earth is 35,000 times more than what we currently produce and consume.  When the amount of solar energy intercepted by the earth is measured per minute, it is greater than the amount of energy the entire world uses in fossil fuels each year.  This energy can be easily harnessed for as many potential practical purposes as there are uses of energy itself.

 

Photovoltaic systems produce electric power with absolutely no carbon dioxide (CO²) emissions or other harmful greenhouse gases.  A growing proportion of total energy generated globally is shifting to renewable energy forms, with photovoltaic solar enjoying a significant increase in deployment for electricity generation, greatly in part because of the expanding economic benefits and technological advances associated with it.

 

Research following emerging technologies has predicted that the solar industry will grow at nearly 30 percent per year, to reach a potential $71 billion by the year 2012.

 

 

Electricity generated from wind is becoming an increasingly popular source of global power, and the booming wind energy markets around the world exceed expectations with each passing year.  The energy in the winds that blow across the United States each year could produce more than one and one-half times the electricity America consumed in the year 2000.

 

Wind power generation has no fuel costs, is not subject to fuel price volatility and produces no greenhouse gas, acid rain or other harmful emissions. Modern turbine technology has increased the efficiency and reliability of wind farms exponentially and results in very low operating expenses, relatively simple construction processes and susceptibility to far fewer risks when compared to traditional fossil fueled energy production methods.

 

Wind farms require only a small percentage of the land they occupy for road access and foundations, while the rest of any project’s site is available for other uses, such as agriculture, industry and recreation.

 

Jetstream Wind, Inc. is looking at the many ways in which wind energy can be used in fortifying our nation’s energy portfolio. 

 

The Jetstream Initiative utilizes our Turbine Transmission Technologies^TM as a way to create a national, sustainable and energy producing electric grid capable of giving back to humanity through energy production, jobs, and wide-range revenue.
