Solar technologies use the sun’s energy to provide electricity, hot water, process heat and cooling. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, solar power presently provides only 2.3% of U.S. energy needs, but this is expected to increase with the development of more efficient solar technologies.

Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing forms of electricity generation in the world. U.S. wind power market share is expected to reach 8.4% by 2021.

Biogas is produced at many industrial and municipal facilities and there are many opportunities to measure and improve the processes. Biogas in this post can refer to biogas plants, landfill gas and digester gas, all of which typically consist of 60-70% methane and 30-40% carbon dioxide.

The biofuel production process converts biomass resources into liquid fuels, such as ethanol, methanol and biodiesel, and gaseous fuels such as hydrogen and methane.
