Only nuclear power generation, which does not emit carbon dioxide, is available now as a large-scale alternative.
Dr. Venter said Exxon's involvement in developing biofuels was a critical component to bringing large-scale alternative fuels.
Zhao Xiaoyong, the vice general manager at GS Solar, a thin-film solar panel producer based in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, said that while solar panel prices were falling 5 to 10 percent a year, they were still not low enough to offer a large-scale alternative to electricity from the grid during power shortages like the one expected this summer.
The use of renewable feedstocks for biodiesel production makes it an attractive large-scale alternative to fossil diesel.
Hydroelectricity represents a large-scale alternative to fossil fuel generation, contributing only very small amounts to greenhouse gas emissions and other atmospheric pollutants.
The data from these studies provide evidence of large-scale alternative splicing and wide-spread use of alternative promoters throughout the mammalian genomes.
The results allowed us to investigate large-scale alternative splicing events, identify extensive number of novel transcript units, determine gene boundaries at single nucleotide resolution and comprehensively survey porcine microRNAs in the tested tissues.
In the end, decision-makers rejected large-scale alternatives altering the mouth of the estuary, and instead opted for small- to medium-scale restoration projects and recommended an added emphasis on reduction of nutrient-loading.
Right now, it is a challenge to produce and distribute new energy sources like this on a large scale, but alternative fuels hold great promise.
This facile hydrothermal method could provide a promising strategy for the synthesis of in situ nitrogen doping graphene sheets and few layer MoS2 composites in large scale towards promising alternative catalyst for platinum based HER electrocatalysts.
