The Greencell technologies - Home energy use in the UK is currently responsible for producing more than 27% of all carbon emissions.
Whereas progress to reduce this is being made by improving the energy performance of new build properties, we must face the huge challenge of addressing existing, older inefficient properties, many of which will still be standing and occupied by 2050.
Such inefficient homes account for more than 90% of the existing housing stock, which highlights the importance of adapting them to suit 21st century living. Improving the thermal efficiency of existing properties will not only help meet the challenges of climate change, it will help householders tackle rising fuel costs, encourage well being and a provide a healthier living environment.
As part of Huntingdonshire District Council’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change, we have purchased two properties, which will be ‘sustainably’ refurbished and opened up to the public as demonstration homes.
In Huntingdonshire approximately 67,000 homes are privately owned. There is huge potential to improve the energy and water efficiency of the properties, which will help to reduce the district’s carbon footprint and bring existing homes up to a higher level of environmental performance.
The UK Government is committed to reducing carbon emissions by 80% by the year 2050.
If we are to reduce our carbon emissions and help slow down the effects of climate change we need a step change in our thinking – the way we live, travel and refurbish our properties plays a major part in that. It’s important for the Green House Project to demonstrate and influence sustainable refurbishment and to encourage a ‘low carbon lifestyle’.
The district council is working with the Building Research Establishment (BRE), whose expertise and guidance is integral to the project. The BRE will be providing the specifications for the improvements, which will be based around the results of extensive thermal and acoustic testing which has already been undertaken in both of the houses.
The Greencell technologies - The Green House Project will take a ‘whole house’ approach to refurbishment, starting with the building fabric and insulation, windows, heating systems, ventilation, water efficiency measures and the installation of renewable energy technology including solar thermal for hot water and solar photovoltaics (PV) for energy.

Greencell Technologies - HeatingSave helps the Green Houses and Cambs Fire save money

HeatingSave is a low-cost, revolutionary Energy Management System that saves between 15% and 30%+ off the energy used to heat and light your home. It’s controller, which replaces the central heating timeclock, contains a computer program that learns, and constantly refines, the heat loss profile of your house so that it uses the least amount of energy.

At 25 Manor Road, St Neots, the HeatingSave system is using HeatingSaves’ glass evacuated solar tubes to heat the hot water using the suns rays. As HeatingSave is controlling both the boiler and the solar panel, it is able to make further economies by using the free energy from the sun as much as possible. The heating is turned up or down automatically depending upon the heat loss profile of the house and the outside temperature, whilst the occupancy sensors automatically turn up and down the heating depending on whether anyone is at home. The same occupancy sensors automatically turn lights on/off, this time saving money off the electricity bill. The immersion heater is also controlled by HeatingSave, allowing the home owner the vary the hot water temperature; hot for the baths/showers in the morning and cooler in the day for washing up, hand-washing and the washing machine. All saving energy and money, but leaving you firmly in control. Linked to the HeatingSave controller is a PC where the householder can change settings, view daily costings to help with the household budget and view the energy savings graphs – so you can see that the system is actually working and saving you money. The HeatingSave system is linked to the Internet so you can control, set and view how well your energy management system is working – from anywhere in the world.
At 1 St Audrey Lane, St Ives the HeatingSave system is controlling the Dimplex flat solar panel and the Dimplex air heat source pump. There is no central heating boiler, with heat being extracted solely from the outside air temperature and the suns rays. HeatingSave applies the same type of control at 1 St Audrey Lane as at 25 Manor Road. Again the Tensor access control system links to HeatingSave so that the energy management system “knows” when the house is occupied or empty.
HeatingSave is a government approved by the Carbon Trust and the Energy Savings Trust to save money on your energy usage. It is also an approved product on the lord mayor of London’s “London Green500” scheme.
HeatingSave are also helping Cambridgeshire Fire Service to reduce their heating bills, more information can be found on the Hunts Post website

Greencell Other Technologies

GreenCell is committed to bio-sequestration technologies and to the development and roll out of worlds best bio-remediation products and clean energy generation advances. We are selecting technologies that truly fit into the "virtuous circle" credo and have minimal non-green outputs.

Article blog by Internet fraud watch on additional reading about Greencell Other Technologies. Avoid getting taken by Internet scams.

These technologies include the patented "GreenCell Clear" being launched in Europe, China and Australasia through local offices. A natural and safe L Plantarum Bacteria for use in organic waste management and freshwater treatment, this product is sold under an agreement with GreenCell in these regions.
GreenCell is also exploring gasification technologies which when coupled with the GNULs will provide clean and locally based power generation. Gasification is a good match with the GNUL modular designs and allows for conversion of community and industrial bio-based wastes into energy with the CO2 being reused as fuel.
Other technologies currently being evaluated include methane digestion and hydrocarbon bio-remediation.

GreenCell is committed to continuing to partner in the development of new green technology

The Gnul Process: other uses of the GNUL. The GNUL technology opens the door to multiple applications.

Algae types can handle most types of water and industrial waste.
We will find the GNUL designed into the infrastructure of tomorrow’s buildings.
GreenCell has completed preliminary trials on its methane digester design and has already had interest from commercial piggeries.
Further research with stand alone diesel motors has shown that the GNUL design is also effective in the elimination of oxides from the exhaust of stationary motors as well as lowering CO2 emissions.
GreenCell is also confident that the GNUL will be highly effective in the treatment of polluted water - utilizing algae in the same way as conventional methods but in a controlled and compact space. Use of the GNUL in aquaculture should reduce the blooms of red and blue/green algae and improve the growing conditions considerably.
GNULS are manufactured from recycled, everyday plastics and are specialty moulded using our exclusive patented process.
The same carbon neutral manufacturing process produces very low cost water tanks and methane digesters, which are themselves, recyclable.
These are used as component and ancillary parts of the whole system.
However they are stand-alone items in themselves as they can be “blown” to previously unachievable dimensions.
Metering is via an EPA standard environmental gas analyser.

GreenCell will continue to explore the potential of algae and bacteria in its role as environmental cleanser and is committed to developing the best bio-processor for each individual application.

About the GNUL

The World now realises what the Earth has been trying to say for some time….

It is running out of breath and now is the time to act, before it is too late.

The GreenCell GNUL bio-processor - which can be built into the infrastructure that creates our greenhouse gases - turns our worst problem into our greatest asset.

The GNUL replicates lungs that breathe in CO2 and other polluting elements and breathes out sweet oxygen, cleans water for re-use and turns bio-waste into useful by-products.

It’s what nature has been doing since life on earth began.

A low-energy natural process with measurable results.

Now we can all be part of a solution, instead of the problem.

Greencell Technologies – The Issues

For years scientists have been experimenting with bacteria in an effort to solve the dual problems of global warming and renewable energy, a result of the use of fossil fuels, and the need to develop alternative fuel supplies.

Avoid getting taken by Internet scams. Protect yourself and keep updated. Help support scam and fraud busters.

Algae in their many forms already produce up to 80% of the world’s oxygen through the process of sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere. This is an established and well-known part of the eco-system. Concurrently, the biofuel community has always had the expectation that biofuels would one day play a significant role in our energy future. There has been much scientific research that leads in this direction. The major problems encountered, ones not hitherto overcome, are that

• to exploit the known science, vast tracts of land or sea have had to be employed; and
• the algae employed has typically simply died before the end of the process.

In summary, the processes employed to date have been wasteful in both resources and space, and inefficient.

GreenCell has invented and patented a process that overcomes these problems: the process is compact, efficient and measurable.

Greencell Technologies – The Science. Between 1978 and 1996, the US Department of Energy funded research into technologies that could have significant impacts on the consumption of fossil fuels. The focus of this research became the Aquatic Species Program, which investigated renewable fuel production (bio-diesel) from high-oil algae species, fed by the waste CO2 from coal-fired power plants. Researchers whittled down over 3,000 strains of micro-organisms into the most productive 300, and constructed 1000 sq. meter test ponds outside of Roswell, NM.
The ponds were set up as sort of algae ‘race-tracks’, where algae were circulated around shallow, oval-shaped ponds as carbon dioxide bubbled through the mixture. Results were successful and in some ways encouraging, but the program was abandoned after almost two decades, as a result of budget constraints and a preference for allocating resources to researching ethanol as a substitute for low cost fossil fuels.

GreenCell develops the GNUL Bio Processor

GreenCell Research Pty Ltd has now taken these ideas to the next level. Utilizing the intellectual property of Ian Wright, GreenCell Research Pty Ltd constructed a number of bio-processors at Yatala, Queensland to prove the concept. Scientists from the Atmospheric Research Facility at CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, provided advice on algae selection. To minimize the use of land and water resources, a proprietary bio-processor was created to grow the algae. Invoplas Pty Ltd, a plastics R & D company, built the processors.

The final bio-processor has been named the GNUL - “lung” in reverse - breathing in CO2 and breathing out O2.

Greencell Technologies – Greenhouse Effect May Give Exoplanet Liquid Water

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 5, 2011 -- 

By John Timmer. Although our catalog of exoplanets is expanding rapidly, researchers are still looking for one that can unequivocally play host to liquid water on its surface. Over the past several years, attention has focused on the collection of planets orbiting the red dwarf Gliese 581, which is only 20 light years from Earth. The star plays host to at least five planets, some of which have been put forth as candidates for habitability based on the presence of liquid water. A new climate model, however, has now shifted attention towards GJ581d, a super-Earth that was thought to be too cold to support liquid water. 
The history of the Gliese system is enough to make anyone cautious about the new announcement. Back in 2007, GJ581c was discovered orbiting right at the inner edge of the habitable zone, and was estimated to have a temperature that could support water. Further refinements, however, indicated that the presence of any greenhouse gasses would quickly boost the temperatures there to the point where the water would boil off.

Last year came the announcement of GJ581g, squarely in the heart of the habitable zone and only a few times heavier than the Earth. Other research groups with observational data on Gliese 581, however, can't seem to detect any indication of an additional planet, leaving GJ581g in scientific limbo until enough additional data comes in. 
While waiting for all of that to be sorted out, a research team has gone back and taken another look at GJ581c's ugly step-sister, GJ581d. GJ581d is a heavy super-Earth orbiting at the far edge of the habitable zone, and had been thought to be too cold to support liquid water. And, unlike GJ581c, GJ581d was thought to be incapable of supporting an atmosphere that could produce enough of a greenhouse effect to warm things up.

Although it's at the far edge of Gliese 581's habitable zone, that's actually fairly close to the host star, a dim red dwarf. Close enough that the planet is thought to be tidally locked to the star, meaning its rotation and orbit are synchronized such that only one side of the planet ever faces the star (the tilt of its axis of rotation should also be minimal). This ensures that the planet's poles and far side are extremely cold, which creates a problem similar to the one that occurs on Mars: below a certain temperature, things like carbon dioxide start freezing out of the atmosphere, leading to its ultimate collapse. And with no atmosphere, there's not much chance for a greenhouse effect.

Previous attempts to understand the planet's atmosphere relied on an extremely simplified model. The new work, which has been accepted for publication in Astrophysical Journal Letters, marks a major improvement over those, as the authors have created a three-dimensional, general circulation model (GCM) that can work for a range of planets. Starting with a GCM that was developed for studying Mars, the authors pulled out all the Mars-specific features and replaced them with adjustable parameters. Thus, things like the planet's mass and orbit, as well as the radiation produced by the host star, could be adjusted to match those of the Gliese system. Things like the atmosphere's composition can be changed to try different levels of greenhouse warming, and the surface could be switched from a rocky composition to a planet-wide ocean.

Plugging in the values for GJ581d dictated by astronomical observations, the authors starting testing out atmospheres with different compositions and densities. With a rocky surface and CO2 rich atmosphere at pressures below about 10 bar, the atmosphere was unstable, and would begin to condense out at the poles and on the planet's dark side. But things changed when the atmosphere got thicker. "For denser atmospheres," the authors state, "we found that horizontal heat transport and greenhouse warming became effective enough to remove the threat of collapse and allow surface temperatures above the melting point of water."

Something similar happened on a watery world. At 20 bar and up, the strong greenhouse effect produced by water vapor was sufficient to raise the temperatures enough that the whole planet was above the point where the atmosphere would collapse, and liquid water could persist on GJ581d's sunny side. As long as the atmosphere was dense enough, there was no danger of a global glaciation of the sort that has occurred on Earth. Below that density, local pockets of melting could occur on the day side of the planet, but the dark side would get so cold that even nitrogen would condense out of it, and any water vapor would quickly freeze back out. 
What are the chances that GJ581d actually has a dense atmosphere? It's really difficult to judge. Stars like Gliese 581 have an early period in which they emit a lot of extreme UV light and ion fluxes, which could be sufficient to blast any atmosphere off GJ581d. Geological processes mi

GreenCellTechnologies: The Garnaut Climate Change Review - Diabolical Problem

A diabolical problem and a saving grace.Climate change is a diabolical policy problem. It is harder than any other issue of high importance that has come before our polity in living memory. Climate change presents a new kind of challenge. It is uncertain in its form and extent, rather than drawn in clear lines. It is insidious rather than (as yet) directly confrontational. It is long term rather than immediate, in both its impacts and its remedies. Any effective remedies lie beyond any act of national will, requiring international cooperation of unprecedented dimension and complexity. While an effective response to the challenge would play out over many decades, it must take shape and be put in place over the next few years. Without such action, if the mainstream science is broadly right, the Review’s assessment of likely growth in global greenhouse gas emissions in the absence of effective mitigation tells us that the risks of dangerous climate change, already significant, will soon have risen to dangerously high levels.

Observation of daily debate and media discussion in Australia and elsewhere suggests that this issue might be too hard for rational policy making. It is too complex. The special interests are too numerous, powerful and intense. The time frames within which effects become evident are too long, and the time frames within which action must be effected too short.

But there is a saving grace that may make all the difference. This is an issue in which a high proportion of Australians are deeply interested. A high proportion of Australians say that they are prepared to pay for mitigation in higher goods and services prices. Most of them say that they are prepared to pay even if Australia is acting independently of other countries. There is a much stronger base of support for reform and change on this issue than on any other big question of structural change in recent decades, including trade, tax and public business ownership reform. People in other countries, to varying degrees, seem to share Australians’ interest in and preparedness to take action on global warming.

Public attitudes in Australia and in other countries create the possibility of major reform on emissions reductions, despite the inherent difficulty of the policy problem.

This report aims to nurture the chance that Australia and the world will manage to develop a position that strikes a good balance between the costs of dangerous climate change and the costs of mitigation. It does this by examining approaches to mitigation in one country within a framework which, if followed elsewhere, would add up to a solution. The Review recognises that other approaches may also add up to a solution. If others were also to develop proposals that add up to a solution to the problem, that would provide the basis for the type of realistic discussion across the international community that will be essential if a basis is to be found for effective global action.

GT5 GreenCell Technologies and Hy-Drive Announce Strategic Agreement; Set to Launch HydroCell Max™

Toronto, Canada – GreenCell Technologies Inc. (Frankfurt Open Market: GT5) announced today that it has signed an agreement with Hy-Drive Technologies Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange: HGS) of Mississauga, Ontario.  GreenCell is now the exclusive distributor of the renowned HGS series of hydrogen gas generators for the diesel truck market in Canada and the USA.

Over the past 6 years, Hy-Drive Technologies has allocated millions of capital to research and develop an innovative generator, similar to the GreenCell HydroCell™, launching a product that specifically works on Caterpillar™ diesel engines older than 2007.  All HGS-series product have undergone rigorous field trials and conquered the design hurdle of handling the rugged environmental conditions in which these generators must operate to deliver improved fuel consumption.

Effective immediately, the Hy-Drive unit targeting Caterpillar™ engines will be branded as a HydroCell Max™, with the accompanying tagline of “Hy-Drive inside” in order to proudly recognize Hy-Drive’s extensive technology and research commitment.  The greatly-anticipated dual goal of improving both mileage and emissions has been successfully met and now new units for other engine manufacturers are imminent, awaiting dyno testing and tuning to maximize performance.

“With this new agreement,” states GreenCell’s President K. Allen Etherington, “we are launching GreenCell’s sales and marketing machine to start selling proven product right away.  We found Hy-Drive to be wonderfully cooperative in arranging this deal to become the exclusive sales channel for them in the US and Canadian market and also assisting us with technical support as we build our field support team.  Meanwhile, the Greencell development of our own HydroCell product line will continue at an increased pace alongside the HydroCell Max™ to provide a cost reduced alternative.”

The HydroCell™ is an electrolysis-based on-demand Hydrogen generator designed specifically for the transport industry. The HydroCell™ directs the produced Hydrogen gas to the intake of the vehicles engine where it acts as a catalyst during the normal combustion cycle. This creates more power and fewer emissions with less diesel fuel.

GT5 GreenCell Technologies Develops New Wireless Product

(Toronto) – GreenCell Technologies Inc. is pleased to announce the successful development and forthcoming release of a new product to complement its HydroCell™ unit.  Based on recent feedback from long-haul truckers, the GreenCell research team has now designed a wireless status indicator that will be manufactured and sold as a package in tandem with its popular Hydrogen Enrichment System.

Listed on the Frankfurt Exchange: GT5, GT5 GreenCell Technologies GreenCell begins Extensive Testing Phase with Long-Haul Trucking Companies. Get the latest news on hydrogen testing technologies. Keep updated. Avoid online scam.

The innovative device simply plugs into the cigarette lighter on the dashboard and instantly indicates the current status of the HydroCell™ and its present operating condition. The driver will instantly be aware if the HydroCell™ is in need of water and can rectify the condition which will minimize downtime. 
The HydroCell™ requires the addition of water every 40 – 50 hours of operation and will shut down and not generate Hydrogen if allowed to run dry. This device will ensure maximum fuel savings by eliminating downtime due to lack of water.  HydroCell™ has exceeded expectations and is typically doubling hydrogen output and increasing fuel efficiencies for transportation companies and independent drivers alike.
Hydrogen, as a fuel, is emission free and the only by-product of combustion is water.  It is the most abundant element in the universe and is the fuel of choice for the Space Shuttle’s main engine. 
To assure continued fuel savings, the HydroCell™ is always tested for performance, efficiency, reliability and hydrogen output on numerous vehicles, to enhance its core design and help refine the product specifications for engineers.  In addition to recent discoveries, GreenCell is also conducting extensive lab tests to establish the most efficient electrolyte mixture and the optimal Anode to Cathode distance for maximum hydrogen production.  These tests will lead to new modifications to increase hydrogen output, boost fuel efficiency overall and reduce manufacturing costs. 
The HydroCell™ is an electrolysis-based on-demand Hydrogen generator designed specifically for the transport industry. The product draws a small amount of power from the vehicles electrical system and uses it to produce Hydrogen gas from a water-based solution. The HydroCell™ directs the produced Hydrogen gas to the intake of the vehicles engine where it acts as a catalyst during the normal combustion cycle. This creates more power and fewer emissions, burning only the existing fuel in the cylinder, resulting simply in less fuel being required to operate the vehicle.
GreenCell Technologies Inc. is a Canadian company, dedicated to designing and bringing to market technology-based products for the transportation and energy industries.

GreenCellTechnologies: The Garnaut Climate Change Review - Intro

The weight of scientific evidence tells us that Australians are facing risks of damaging climate change.

The risk can be substantially reduced by strong, effective and early action by all major economies. Australia will need to play its full proportionate part in global action. As one of the developed countries, its full part will be relatively large, and involve major early changes to established economic structure.

The work of the Review shows that the costs of Australia playing its proportionate part in an effective global effort, while considerable, are manageable. There is a path to Australia being a low-emissions economy by the middle of the 21st century, consistently with continuing strong growth in material living standards (chapters 11 and 23). By the end of the 21st century, and beyond, more so with each passing decade material living standards would be higher with than without mitigation of climate change.

GreenCell Technologies: Scientific opinion and dissent

There is no doubt about the position of most reputed specialists in climate science, in Australia and abroad, on the risks of climate change (Chapter 2). There is no doubt about the position of the leaders of the relevant science academies in all of the major countries.1 The outsider to climate science has no rational choice but to accept that, on a balance of probabilities, the mainstream science is right in pointing to high risks from unmitigated climate change.

There are nevertheless large uncertainties in the science. There is debate and recognition of limits to knowledge about the times and ways in which the risk will manifest itself. Every climate scientist has views on some issues that differ from the mainstream in detail.

There are prominent dissenters on this matter, gathered under the rubric of ‘sceptic’. For the most part ‘sceptic’ is a misnomer for their position, because these dissenters hold strongly to the belief that the mainstream science is wrong.

In a different category are a small number of climate scientists of professional repute who maintain that the mainstream science embodies misjudgments about quantities. These scientists, who accept the theory of the warming effects of higher concentrations of greenhouse gases, hold the view that these warming effects are relatively or even trivially small in comparison with many other causes of climate variations that are beyond the control of humans.

The dissent took a curious turn in Australia in 2008, with much prominence being given to assertions that the warming trend had ended over the last decade. This is a question that is amenable to statistical analysis, and we asked econometricians with expertise in analysis of time series to examine it. Their response—that the temperatures recorded in most of the last decade lie above the confidence level produced by any model that does not allow for a warming trend—is reported in Chapter 4 (Box 4.1).

GreenCell Technologies: The prisoner’s dilemma in international collective action

Effective international action is necessary if the risks of dangerous climate change are to be held to acceptable levels, but deeply problematic. International cooperation is essential for a solution to a global problem. However, such a solution requires the resolution of a genuine prisoner’s dilemma: each country benefits from a national point of view if it does less of the mitigation itself, and others do more. If all countries act on this basis, without forethought, communication and cooperation, there will be no resolution of the dilemma. Future generations will judge the outcome to have been insufficient and unsatisfactory.

Resolution of the prisoner’s dilemma requires communication, to find a division of costs and benefits of cooperation that is acceptable to all essential participants in a solution. The eventual solution can involve a range of cooperative arrangements, and not only matters related to the division of the mitigation task.

But resolution of the international prisoner’s dilemma will take time—possibly more time than we have. The world squandered the time that it did have in the 1990s to experiment with various approaches to mitigation.
