Roof Garden in London

Inspired by the German Passivhaus approach and technical methods developed by physicist Wolfgang Feist, Bere Architects’ own director Justin Bere started building his own home back in 2002. Low CO2 concrete foundations and first floor slab were made with ground granulated blast furnace slag to replace most of the cement, provide thermal mass for stable temperatures and a natural summer cooling effect. In keeping with Bere’s passionate belief in the urgent environmental need for change, the home was designed for energy preservation.

"Fíjense en las aves del cielo: no siembran ni cosechan ni almacenan en graneros; 

sin embargo, el Padre celestial las alimenta. 

¿No valen ustedes mucho más que ellas?"  

Mateo 6:26

Tucan

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

France's Areva Buys 100% Stake in Solar Thermal Startup Ausra

Hola les comparto un artículo de Michael Graham Richard, Ottawa, Canada

Tecnología de Páneles solares 

Playing with the Big Boys

The solar thermal startup Ausra, which we've written about in the past, has just been bought by the French public mega-conglomerate Areva for an unknown amount. Ausra's solar technology is particularly desirable because they are storing part of the heat generated by the sun during the day so that they can keep producing electricity even when the sun doesn't shine.

I see this as a good sign for the capital-intensive solar thermal market. Projections have it growing at around 20% per year for the next decade, but depending on a few things (price of oil, carbon taxes, major climate events, new scientific discoveries, etc), solar could potentially expand even faster than that (or slower, if we're unlucky). 

Areva is huge and has the muscle to make really big solar projects happen. This kind of concentrating solar thermal with storage needs to be proven reliable before other companies and governments will invest more in it. And if it doesn't work, the faster we know about it, the faster we can solve the problems or move on to something else. Now's the time to make it happen, Areva.
