E85 is a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline and can be used in special “flexible fuel” vehicles that burn either E85 or gasoline. Currently, 656 fueling stations in the United States offer E85, up from fewer than 100 in 2001. “Flexible fuel vehicles and E85 are proven options for substituting a clean-burning renewable fuel for gasoline, and I believe it should be our common goal that E85 become a nationwide fueling option,” Secretary Bodman said. See the Secretary’s comments and the press release from the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition (NEVC).Secretary Bodman also attended “Ethanol Day” at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This year, all […]
New Index Tracks World's Alternative Energy Stocks
Ardour Capital launched The Ardour Global Index (Ticker: AGIGL) today, a global alternative energy stock index. The index includes 74 stocks, and has related sub-indexes covering North America (Ticker: AGINA) and Europe (Ticker: AGIEM). Dow Jones Indexes serves as calculation agent for the indexes. Says Walter Nasdeo, Consulting Analyst to Ardour Global Indexes, “Alternative energy is a truly global business, where technologies, regulations and the impulses driving the sector differ from one country to the next. A global index is the best way to capture the full breadth of opportunity.” The capitalization weighted, float-adjusted family of indexes incorporates companies engaged in five primary alternative energy sectors: alternative energy resources (including wind, solar, ethanol bio-mass and others), distributed generation, environmental controls, energy efficiency and enabling technologies. The Ardour Global Alternative Energy Indexes were designed to serve as fair, impartial and transparent measures of the performance of the alternative energy industry. So far this year, the AGI has risen over 40%, reflecting surging interest in the sector caused by high energy prices, security concerns and environmental issues, as well as improving company fundamentals. The Ardour Global Index is also a “pure-play” index and includes only companies principally engaged in the alternative energy […]

SatCon Receives $1.3M in Contracts
SatCon Technology Corporation (NASDAQ NM: SATC) has been awarded two contracts totaling $1.3 million. Navy Amplifier Cooling Contract A Phase II SBIR contract for the integration and packaging of a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with thermoelectric cooler (TEC) for the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR). The contract value is $749,998. SatCon’s Applied Technology division will design, fabricate, test and deliver a prototype, integrated LNA with TEC package for use in shipboard communications systems electronics that will improve the amplifiers range and sensitivity. The effort supports SPAWAR’s mission of “transforming information into decisive effects” by improving signal acquisition and digital signal processing for communications and radar systems for Navy ships. The award is an outgrowth of SatCon’s previous thermal management research on using TEC technology to cool sensors and electronics in aircraft anti-radiation defense systems. SatCon Chairman and CEO, David Eisenhaure stated, “SatCon is pleased to have a role in the US Navy’s development of new communications technology. This contract supports our stated initiative to expand our defense related business. Other potential applications include radar electronics cooling.” Class K Contract Awards SatCon Electronics, a wholly-owned subsidiary and designer and manufacturer of high reliability electronic components, has been awarded a […]
Carmanah Receives $1.6M PO for London Lighting
Carmanah Technologies Corporation (TSX:CMH) has received a purchase order in the amount of $1.6 million from Trueform Engineering Ltd. of the United Kingdom for the supply of additional solar LED-illuminated bus stops. These units are scheduled for installation throughout the City of London, England, starting in early June 2006. “Carmanah is pleased to continue to provide the solar lighting for London Buses’ solar illuminated bus stop project,” states Carmanah’s CEO, Art Aylesworth. “Carmanah has been involved with this initiative since the early field trials in 2001, and we are proud to maintain our relationship with Trueform as a technology partner to London Buses.” The solar environment in London is very challenging and a good test of Carmanah’s proprietary solar energy management systems. This order follows the September of 2005 order when Carmanah was selected for the provision of solar LED lighting and was awarded an initial rollout valued at $1.5 million. “We are very pleased with the results of the installation of the initial 1000+ systems since September 2005, which were assembled and delivered via our new facilities in Crawley, England,” states Richard Sowter, VP of European Operations.
