In this Illustration we have my concept for a floating turbine wind farm that would be deployed far out to sea, over the horizon as to not effect the skyline or the fishing industry. Conventional sea based wind farms are expensive to build and the consumers see this reflected in their utility bills. Conventional wind turbine projects cause controversy with the resident that live near them. My wind to hydrogen concept will turn sea water into liquid hydrogen "Electrolysis" that can be used to heat homes, power fuel cells for hybrid vehicles, Electric utility corporations will be using the same infrastructure they use now to store and transport this fuel, and use the same natural gas burning facilities they currently have in place with little or no modifications. Liquid hydrogen gas burning facilities will turn sea water into clean fresh "Desalinated Water" and generate electricity at the same time. Wind and Hydrogen will not run out or change the worlds climate like burning fossil fuels. We can be Clean, Green, and live the kind of lifestyle we are accustom to living today.

The major advantages of this concept over "conventional" wind to electricity projects, is that Hydrogen can be stored and shipped all over the world, not just to the folks that live near the sea. This concept makes 5 products: Hydrogen, Oxygen, Drinking Water, Sea Salt and Electricity, from the same energy cost of conventional wind to electricity turbines. Conventional wind turbines makes electricity that is transmitted over a short distance, and this electricity can not be stored, it has to be used as it is made. Conventional wind farms are expensive, permanent, inshore platforms that many people think are ugly and protest to stop projects. This concept will be relocated or duplicated anywhere wind and water are found. No need to to purchase land rights and "Utility Rate Payers", ( This is all of us ) will not see a change in cost because the electric companies will be buying the fuel just as they do now, but rather than natural gas, it will be Clean Burning Liquid Hydrogen!

FACT: The ocean covers 71% of the Earth’s surface and contains 97 percent of the planet’s water. The highest average wind speeds accessible to wind energy development can only be found only far out to sea.

My concept could be mass-produced on land and assembled in a few hours at sea. At a fraction of the cost of Conventional sea based wind farms that require specialized equipment and personnel to constructed them and this comes at cost. My concept will Eliminate the need for inverters to match the currant to the power grid and it would eliminate the need miles of transmission lines. At the same time it will be creating thousands of "New Jobs" where ever this technology is duplicated. New jobs, not for a select few, but rather jobs in many trades and professions the world over.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), found that a kilogram of hydrogen (roughly equivalent to a gallon of gasoline) could be produced by wind powered electrolysis for between .55 in the near term and .27 in the long term. Using conventional wind turbines.

The total solar energy absorbed by Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and land masses is approximately 3,850,000 exajoules (EJ) per year. This is more energy in one hour than the Earths population uses in one year.

This is not science fiction, the technology is here today!

The floating platform is based on the same concept as the "FLIP" floating instrument platform, launched in 1962 by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego and is a very stable platform in all weather.

Harvest Power To Receive Investment From Canada?S Clean Energy Fund

by Center for American Progress Action Fund

The Canadian Government’s Clean Energy Fund has announced that Harvest Power Canada, Ltd. has been selected to receive an investment in support of Harvest Power’s proposed anaerobic digestion and renewable energy project at its Fraser Richmond subsidiary outside of Vancouver, British Columbia.

Harvest’s Fraser Richmond plant is one of 19 projects across Canada to be identified by the Clean Energy Fund, part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan. In selecting Harvest’s proposal, the Clean Energy Fund recognized that Harvest’s technology “has the potential to be rapidly deployed across Canada as a mechanism to divert food wastes from landfills and produce renewable energy.”

“Investments in clean energy technologies are a key part of our approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving the environment,” said the Honourable Lisa Raitt, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources. She said that she hopes projects like Harvest ‘s facility will help bring Canada to the forefront of clean energy technology, while also providing green jobs for Canadians.

The Clean Energy Fund will offer up to 6 million to support 19 projects across Canada that help create renewable and clean energy power sources across the country, including integrated community energy solutions, smart grid technology, and renewable applications with solar, wind, tidal and geothermal energy. Harvest is expected to received between .5 – million (CDN) following negotiations and signing of a formal contribution agreement with Natural Resources Canada.

“We’re tremendously excited by the possibilities that Canada’s Clean Energy Fund presents to our Fraser Richmond plan,”says Harvest Power CEO Paul Sellew. “Installing the anaerobic digestion plant at our facility will allow us to harvest the energy from the organic materials we recycle, providing clean, renewable, independent energy for British Columbia. This project will enable us to further Fraser Richmond’s leadership position in helping the Metro Vancouver Region meet its ambitious Zero Waste Challenge goal of diverting 70 percent of the region’s solid waste from landfills by 2015.

The Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre facility is North America’s largest permitted food waste and yard waste compost facility. One of the most productive compost facilities in North America, Fraser Richmond will be the first project to utilize high solids anaerobic digestion on a commercial scale on the continent. Harvest plans to begin construction this summer on the first phase of the facility, which will process 30,000 tons of organic waste every year and produce nearly 6800 MWh/yr of electricity, enough electricity to power over 500 homes.

Harvest will provide more details about our Fraser Richmond facility in the coming months.

The Clean Energy Fund is investing nearly billion in technology development and demonstration throughout Canada. Total investments under the Clean Energy Fund for large and small demonstration projects are benefiting Canada’s economy by leveraging nearly .5 billion in further investments by industry and other levels of government.

What’s the Clean Energy Fund? An instrument of Canada’s Economic Action Plan, the Clean Energy Fund is intended to generate new green economic activity in the short term, while strengthening the foundation for sustainable prosperity in the future. Almost .4 billion dollars in new measures are dedicated to creating and supporting a clean and sustainable environment, and helping to meet Canada’s climate change objectives.
