General Information:
Biomass Energy
Biomass energy is produced from non-fossilized materials derived from plants. Wood and wood waste are the largest sources of biomass energy followed by energy from municipal solid waste (MSW) and alcohol fuels. In 2004, biomass accounted for 47% of renewable energy consumption, with about 50% of this used for heating, 40% for electrical power production, and the rest as transportation fuel.
Wood
Wood biomass includes wood chips from forestry operations, residues from lumber, pulp/paper, and furniture mills, and fuel wood for space heating. The largest single source of wood energy is “black liquor,” a residue of pulp, paper, and paperboard production. It supplies over 50% of these industries’ energy requirements. Lumber mills and furniture manufacturers use chips, sawdust and bark for nearly 60% of their energy requirements. A small but growing amount of wood is co-fired with coal in utility power plants. Cordwood, wood chips, and pellets made from sawdust are used for space and water heating in buildings, including in over two million households as primary or supplemental heating fuels.
Municipal Solid Waste and Biogas
Waste-to-energy facilities burned 29 million tons of MSW in 2004 to produce heat and electricity. There are also about 380 landfills that recover methane, which forms as waste decomposes in low-oxygen (anaerobic) conditions. The methane is burned to produce electricity and heat. Methane is also produced in anaerobic “digesters” for heat and electricity generation at municipal sewage treatment facilities, concentrated livestock operations, and dairy farms.
Biofuels
Biofuels include alcohol fuels, such as ethanol, and “biodiesel,” a fuel made from grain oils and animal fats. Most biofuel used in the United States is fuel ethanol produced from corn. Nearly all fuel ethanol is consumed as a gasoline oxygenate in oxygenated or reformulated gasoline or as a gasoline enhancer in fuels such as “gasohol” (also known as E-10, a 10% ethanol- 90% gasoline fuel). In 2004, total consumption of fuel ethanol was about 3.5 billion gallons, the equivalent of about 2.3 billion gallons of gasoline on an energy content basis, or the amount of gasoline consumed in 4.3 million passenger cars. Biodiesel use is small but its use in diesel engines and for heating is increasing.
Hydropower
Hydropower is electricity produced from flowing water. As a result, hydropower output varies widely according to rainfall. Most hydropower is produced at large facilities built by the Federal Government, such as Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River in Washington State - the largest single electric power facility in the United States. Most of the largest dams are located on rivers in the western United States, but there are numerous smaller facilities operating around the country. Hydropower production varies from year to year, depending on precipitation. In 2004, hydropower dams produced 270 billion kWh, which was about 7% of total U.S. electricity production and accounted for about 45% of total renewable energy consumption. The newest “wave” in hydropower technologies is being developed to harness the energy in ocean tides, waves, and currents.
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy is energy from the hot interior of the earth. Fissures in the earth’s crust allow water heated by geothermal energy to rise naturally to the surface at hot springs and geysers. Wells drilled into the earth allow heated steam or water to escape to the surface in a controlled manner to operate steam turbines and electricity generators. In a different type of application, the temperature of the earth or ground water relatively near the earth’s surface is used as a heat source and sink for “geothermal” heat pumps that heat and cool buildings. Geothermal energy accounted for about 6% of total renewable energy consumption in 2004, with about 89% used to produce electricity. Geothermal power plants in California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah generated approximately 14.4 billion kWh of electricity in 2004. Hot springs have long been used at resorts and spas, and for heat in buildings, greenhouses and aquaculture facilities, and in industrial processes. There are about 500,000 geothermal heat pumps in the United States, and the number is increasing by around 37,000 per year.
Wind Energy
Water pumping windmills and small wind electric generators were once used throughout the United States. Rural electrification programs of the 1930’s and 1940’s largely replaced the need for these systems. Starting in the early 1980’s, Federal and State Government policies and incentives led to a revival in wind power generation.
Solar Energy
Solar energy systems use solar radiation to produce heat and electricity. In 2004, 90% of solar energy consumed was used for heat. The other 10% was used to produce about 580 million kWh of electricity. The three basic categories of solar systems are discussed below.
Solar Thermal Systems for Heating Buildings and Water – Solar thermal systems use solar collectors to absorb solar radiation to heat water or air for space and water heating. Between 1975 and 1985, sales of solar thermal energy collectors grew dramatically due to Federal and State income tax credits for the installation of solar energy equipment. When the Federal tax credits ended in 1985, sales dropped. In the past few years, however, there has been an increase in sales of relatively low-cost collectors for heating swimming pools.
Solar Thermal
Electric Power Plants – Solar thermal-electric power plants use concentrating solar collectors to focus the sun’s rays to heat fluid to a high temperature. This working fluid can then be used to generate steam to operate a turbine, which is then used to produce electricity in a generator. The three types of solar-thermal power systems deployed or developed in the United States are parabolic trough, solar dish, and solar power towers. The parabolic trough is used in the largest solar power facility in the world located in the Mojave Desert at Kramer Junction, California. This facility has operated since the 1980’s and accounted for the majority of solar electricity produced by the electric power sector in 2004. DOE and industry partners built and successfully operated a demonstration solar power tower near Barstow, California, during the 1980’s and 1990’s. Solar dish technologies have been developed but are still not fully commercialized.
Photovoltaic Systems
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are based on solar electric cells, which convert solar radiation directly into electricity. Individual PV cells are configured into modules of varying electricity producing capacities. PV applications range from single solar cells for powering watches to large installations with hundreds of modules for electric power production. Until a few years ago, most PV systems were installed where utility power line extensions or the use of fossil fuel generators was technically or financially infeasible. Financial incentives in several States have led to the installation of these systems on houses and buildings that are connected to electric utility power lines. These “grid-connected” systems are now a major application of PV in the United States.
Renewable Energy Initiatives
Investment in and use of renewable energy has been encouraged with a range of State and Federal Government incentives, including the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005), which was signed into law by President Bush on August 8, 2005. The following are the major types of initiatives that encourage renewable energy:
Federal Renewable Energy Production Tax Credit (PTC)
The PTC is an inflation-adjusted tax credit for electricity produced from qualifying renewable energy sources or technologies. EPACT 2005 expanded the types of qualifying sources and systems.
Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and State Mandates
An RPS is a requirement that a percentage of electric power generation or sales come from renewable energy. Some States have specific mandates for power generation from renewable energy. Twenty-one States have now established an RPS or State mandate.
Green Power Programs
U.S. consumers in many States can purchase electricity generated by renewable energy resources, termed “Green Power.” There are over 500 electric utilities in 34 States now offering green power to their customers. Most of these programs sell power produced by new wind and landfill gas-to-energy projects.
State Financial Incentives
Many States subsidize the installation of renewable energy equipment through a variety of measures. For example, in California, a State “buy-down” program for PV equipment has greatly increased the number and size of PV systems installed on houses and buildings.
Net Metering Statutes
Net metering allows electric utility customers to install grid-connected renewable energy systems on their property and get credit for the amount of excess electricity the systems produce. Thirty-five States and the District of Columbia had State-wide net metering statutes in 2004. EPACT 2005 requires electric utilities, nationwide, to offer their customers net metering service upon request by 2008.
Federal Tax Credit for Solar Energy Systems
EPACT 2005 established a tax credit of up to 30% of the cost of solar electric and hot water systems, not to exceed $2,000, for systems installed in 2006 and 2007.
Ethanol Use and Production
The Federal Government has required the use of oxygenates in gasoline for certain regions of the United States to reduce air pollution from vehicles, and ethanol is the most popular oxygenate. EPACT 2005 will eliminate the oxygenate requirement in early 2006, but phase in a national renewable fuels standard. This will require that 4 billion gallons of renewable fuel be produced in 2006 and increase to 8 billion gallons in 2012. It is expected that most of this fuel will be ethanol.
