RESEARCH on New Energies, Not Precise, Undependable (Score: 1)
by vlad on Tuesday, June 01, 2004 @ 21:33:44 GMT
(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.zpenergy.com | TEHRAN June 1 (MNA) -- The researches in the new energies field lack sufficient precision and hampers the development of new energy sources in Iran an official in the New Energies’ Organization commented here on Tuesday.
Mohammad Ramezani, technical and executive deputy of the New Energies’ Organization referred to studies and researches carried out in the field as unreliable and lacking in credibility. Citing an example, he said, “Currently, some studies are being carried out using wind energy in the windy regions of the country but neither the sites for the installation of the wind turbines nor the amount of energy they produce have been taken into account.
Ramezani pointed out, “It is clear that if the studies are precise and comprehensive, investors will invest in this sector with more confidence and as a result, new energies will develop and flourish in the country. Furthermore, the costs of these new energy sources will gradually become comparable to that of electricity.”

Energy crisis warning
By TARIQ KHONJI
ENERGY wars could be on the horizon unless an alternative, sustainable source is found, an international expert said in Bahrain last night.
Failing to come up with new energy sources could lead to hard economic times, terrorism, war and human suffering, said Professor Richard Smalley.
Prof Smalley, of Rice University, Houston, US, won the 1996 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
"Energy is the single most critical challenge facing humanity worldwide," he said.
"Somehow within the next few decades we must find a new energy source that can provide at least 10 terawatts (TW) of clean, low cost power on a sustained basis.
"The answer to this challenge can only come through revolutionary breakthroughs in the physical sciences and engineering."
A TW hour is a measurement of energy which equates to one billion kilowatt hours.
Prof Smalley was giving a presentation entitled Our Energy Challenge, at the opening of a major conference on refinery, petrochemicals and chemical-based products, at the Gulf International Convention Centre, Gulf Hotel last night.
More than 300 delegates are taking part in the three-day Defining the Future conference, organised by German company Sud-Chemie.
Sud-Chemie deputy chairman Dr Gunter von Au said that the conference wouldl provide a great forum for experts to discuss technical issues and learn about state-of the art technologies.
Forty speakers from 25 countries will be presenting papers on various energy-related issues. |
