Farm Credit Supports 25 x’25 Alliance with Renewable Energy Grant
Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) December 07, 2011
The National 25x’25 Alliance announced today that Farm Credit has committed $ 50,000 to help the alliance promote the energy solutions offered by our nation’s farms, ranches and forestlands, and work to build consensus on stable, comprehensive and long-term energy policies that make use of those solutions.
“The Farm Credit System’s financial performance will be directly impacted by the degree to which agricultural- and forestry- based energy solutions are integrated into America’s energy future,” said Ernie Shea, 25x’25 project coordinator. “The Alliance is extremely grateful for this financial support. Farm Credit is helping to maximize the role of the agriculture and forest sectors in our nation’s evolving clean energy future.”
“Farm Credit’s mission is to support agriculture and rural America, and the 25 x ’25 mission aligns with that in many ways,” said Christina Bowen, national contributions director for Farm Credit.
The grant will support Alliance efforts to reframe the national energy conversation from discussions of cost and sacrifice to ones highlighting how clean energy solutions from farms, ranches and forests will create jobs, drive economic development, improve national security and provide valuable ecosystem services.
The Farm Credit grant will also help enable the Alliance continue its efforts in bringing together feedstock producers, technology providers and special interests groups to explore pathways to a clean and secure energy future.
Furthermore, Farm Credit’s support reinforces the Alliance’s efforts to overcome differences among renewable fuel groups, bioenergy feedstock providers, animal agriculture stakeholders and other natural allies that can participate and benefit from a 25x’25 future. “The grant will be critical in our work to eliminate the divisions in a sector that should be united in advocating for the food, feed, fiber, fuel solutions and environmental services that can be sustainably delivered from the land,” Shea said.
About 25x’25
25x’25 is a diverse alliance of agricultural, forestry, environmental, conservation and other organizations and businesses that are working collaboratively to advance the goal of securing 25 percent of the nation’s energy needs from renewable sources by the year 2025. 25x’25 is led by a national steering committee composed of volunteer leaders. The 25x’25 goal has been endorsed by nearly 1,000 partners, 35 current and former governors, 15 state legislatures and the U.S. Congress through The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. 25x’25 is a special project of the Energy Future Coalition (EFC), a broad-based non-partisan public policy initiative that seeks to bring about change in U.S. energy policy to address overarching challenges related to the production and use of energy.

Reformulated Garland StressPly® E High-Tensile Roofing Membrane is Even More Eco-Friendly
Canada (PRWEB) December 05, 2011
Garland Canada’s newest StressPly® E (Environmental) modified bitumen roofing membrane offers 500 lbf./in. of tensile strength a variety of post- and pre- consumer recyclable materials and rapidly renewable resources for increased sustainability. This high-strength, puncture- and fatigue-resistant membrane makes an ideal waterproofing and reinforcement layer for applications demanding a high level of environmental responsibility.
The new StressPly E membrane retains the high-performance capabilities of earlier versions of the product, while setting a new industry standard for the incorporation of environmentally responsible materials. In addition, the membranes can be installed using Garland’s Green-Lock® Membrane Adhesive for 100 percent VOC-free, odor-free application. As the robust weathering membrane in a multi-ply system, StressPly E membranes provide the security and longevity of multi-ply construction with the flexibility and elongation of an elastomeric system.
According to Charbel Boulos, P.Eng., general manager of Garland Canada Inc., “StressPly E utilizes the latest in recycled and renewable raw materials in the manufacturing process, resulting in recycled content as high as 39 percent by weight. This helps building owners achieve USGBC LEED® MR 4.1, 4.2 and 6 credits*. In addition, a fire retardant is added to the compound during the manufacturing process, enabling it to maintain its fire rating for the life of the membrane.”
Specifically, StressPly E membranes contribute to LEED points through the incorporation of:
Post-consumer scrap from recycled tires in the roofing compound
Pre-consumer recycled boiler slag as surfacing
Pre-consumer crushed porcelain as filler
Post-consumer glass bottles as a parting agent
Rapidly renewable resources (soy-based oils, bio-based resins, and crushed sea shells), in substitution of petroleum-based resources in the roofing compound
StressPly membranes, which can be hot or cold applied, are designed for use as the top component in built-up roof applications demanding superior strength. They may also be used to add extra durability in a two-ply flashing system or to repair splits, cracks, and other deteriorated areas in existing asphalt-based roofing systems.
Garland Canada Inc. provides solutions for today’s commercial building industry to private and public sector customers coast to coast, with representatives strategically located throughout Canada. Founded in 1987 as a fully owned subsidiary of Garland Industries, Garland Canada is a multi-million dollar business with employees, strategically located throughout the country, that help stimulate each regional economy by working with an extensive network of locally based roofing contractors to install high-performance roofing, wall, and flooring systems.

Concepts NREC Exhibiting at POWER-GEN International 2011
White River Junction, VT and Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) December 06, 2011
Concepts NREC(CN), a world leader in turbomachinery-focused design and development, CAD/CAM software and manufacturing services, today announces that it will exhibit in Booth #7527 at the POWER-GEN International 2011 show, December 13 through 15, in Las Vegas, NV. CN representatives will present information about several of the company’s turbomachinery engineering and design projects, including a U.S. Navy Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) project for onboard power generation and a geothermal pumps efficiency project that earned U.S. Department of Engineering (DOE) funding. Turbomachinery engineers, designers, and manufacturers will benefit from CN’s expertise.
Another area of focus for CN during the show will be how the company is assisting manufacturers in meeting new pump requirements for European Conformity/Conformité Européenne (CE) approval. As pumps are part of power generation equipment, the CN team is prepared to discuss ways in which they can assist customers in meeting CE requirements by achieving higher efficiencies and power savings.
“CN is proud of the contributions we make in proving concept viability, which makes it possible for customers to secure funding or carry designs through to production,” says Fred Becker, Director of Sales, Engineering Services, for Concepts NREC. “We have the expertise to assist customers in meeting and, most often, exceeding worldwide standards requirements.”
In early 2011, CN was awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant from the U.S. Navy to improve the power efficiency of its gas turbine prime movers used for ship propulsion. This project also won an honorable mention in Pumps & Systems’ 2011 Product Innovation of the Year contest. The Navy’s request for proposal (RFP) required that the power recovery system improve the power output of the prime mover by at least 20 percent. Considerations included the effects that transient power demand from the prime mover would have on the waste heat flow rate and temperature, which could consequently affect the fatigue integrity of the heat exchangers and stability of the turbomachinery subsystems. CN’s winning proposal suggested the use of a Brayton cycle-based, supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) system to recover waste heat from a Rolls-Royce MT-30 gas turbine, a prime mover used in marine applications.
More recently, CN assisted with a green energy project for GeoTek Energy, LLC (GeoTek) in improving its Gravity Head Energy System (GHES) design, for which GeoTek was chosen to receive $ 450,000 for the initial design and up to $ 2.4 million in additional funding for design validation and further development as part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Geothermal Technologies Program (GTP) to advance innovative geothermal technologies. CN’s role was to work with GeoTek in the early stages to prove the GHES concept viability for technical and commercial success by providing engineering and mechanical design support.
CN’s Navy SBIR and GeoTek projects were part of the company’s overall TurboGreen™ offerings for improving turbomachinery efficiency and developing renewable energy technologies, which include projects like wind turbine compressors for more efficient wind energy conversion, centrifugal compressors for hydrogen fuel transportation, advanced water power technology developments for tidal and wave energy conversion, and organic rankine cycle pumps and turbines for recovering geothermal energy.
POWER-GEN International 2011 show attendees looking for turbomachinery engineering, design, and manufacturing services for power generation projects are welcome to come to CN Booth #7527 and speak with one of the company’s representatives.

Concepts NREC(CN), a world leader in turbomachinery-focused design and development, CAD/CAM software and manufacturing services, today announces that it will exhibit in Booth #7527 at the POWER-GEN International 2011 show, December 13 through 15, in Las Vegas, NV. CN representatives will present information about several of the company’s turbomachinery engineering and design projects, including a U.S. Navy Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) project for onboard power generation and a geothermal pumps efficiency project that earned U.S. Department of Engineering (DOE) funding. Turbomachinery engineers, designers, and manufacturers will benefit from CN’s expertise.
Another area of focus for CN during the show will be how the company is assisting manufacturers in meeting new pump requirements for European Conformity/Conformité Européenne (CE) approval. As pumps are part of power generation equipment, the CN team is prepared to discuss ways in which they can assist customers in meeting CE requirements by achieving higher efficiencies and power savings.
“CN is proud of the contributions we make in proving concept viability, which makes it possible for customers to secure funding or carry designs through to production,” says Fred Becker, Director of Sales, Engineering Services, for Concepts NREC. “We have the expertise to assist customers in meeting and, most often, exceeding worldwide standards requirements.”
In early 2011, CN was awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant from the U.S. Navy to improve the power efficiency of its gas turbine prime movers used for ship propulsion. This project also won an honorable mention in Pumps & Systems’ 2011 Product Innovation of the Year contest. The Navy’s request for proposal (RFP) required that the power recovery system improve the power output of the prime mover by at least 20 percent. Considerations included the effects that transient power demand from the prime mover would have on the waste heat flow rate and temperature, which could consequently affect the fatigue integrity of the heat exchangers and stability of the turbomachinery subsystems. CN’s winning proposal suggested the use of a Brayton cycle-based, supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) system to recover waste heat from a Rolls-Royce MT-30 gas turbine, a prime mover used in marine applications.
More recently, CN assisted with a green energy project for GeoTek Energy, LLC (GeoTek) in improving its Gravity Head Energy System (GHES) design, for which GeoTek was chosen to receive $ 450,000 for the initial design and up to $ 2.4 million in additional funding for design validation and further development as part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Geothermal Technologies Program (GTP) to advance innovative geothermal technologies. CN’s role was to work with GeoTek in the early stages to prove the GHES concept viability for technical and commercial success by providing engineering and mechanical design support.
CN’s Navy SBIR and GeoTek projects were part of the company’s overall TurboGreen™ offerings for improving turbomachinery efficiency and developing renewable energy technologies, which include projects like wind turbine compressors for more efficient wind energy conversion, centrifugal compressors for hydrogen fuel transportation, advanced water power technology developments for tidal and wave energy conversion, and organic rankine cycle pumps and turbines for recovering geothermal energy.
POWER-GEN International 2011 show attendees looking for turbomachinery engineering, design, and manufacturing services for power generation projects are welcome to come to CN Booth #7527 and speak with one of the company’s representatives.
