Eden GeoPower Source:  Stock Image Oil Well Cleaner Oil Extraction Eden GeoPower is a green energy startup founded by MIT PhD. candidate Paris Smalls and Saudi Aramco geophysicist Ammar Alali who recently graduated from the University of Houston.  They've invented a unique, electric and environmentally sound technology that provides much cleaner and environmentally sound oil and gas extraction. Fracking Wells Current fracking techniques rely on water under high pressure to extract oil and gas.  The process generates runoff that is highly polluted and can seep into groundwater.  Eden GeoPower offers a Pulsed Electric Reservoir Stimulation technology that's inexpensive and environmentally correct.  The process is not water intensive and results in no water runoff and no noise pollution.  It's a cleaner energy alternative in extracting gas and oil. The process results in higher extraction rates of oil and gas from fracking wells without cau...

United Arab Emirates Turns on Largest, Single Solar Farm in the World Source:  Noor Abu Dhabi Solar Farm Renewable Energy for 90,000 People & More, Big, New Solar Projects Underway The United Arab Emirates just turned on the largest, single, solar farm in the world - its Noor Abu Dhabi.  This is ironic but also very promising in the global epicenter of oil production.  Noor generates 1.18 GW of electricity.  Other UAE and Saudi investment projects promise 2 GW and 2.6 GW of solar powered electricity in the Gulf Region.  For a great news blog, on this big renewable energy news development, go to  Important Innovations Collection: UAE's Largest Solar Farm in World : Oil Production Center of World Going Solar Source:  Noor Abu Dhabi Big Solar Projects Underway and More Planned The United Arab Emir...

New Global Technology Innovation Simple, Inexpensive Tech from Purdue University This is new innovation that is noteworthy.  Purdue University scientists have developed a simple and inexpensive method to remove oil from water.  Why does that matter?  The potential of this new technology is to cut pollution and health risks globally. Source: Purdue University System  Produced Water The process was developed for "produced water" from oil refining.  2.5 billion gallons of produced water are generated daily by oil refineries.  According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the produced water has been an intractable contamination problem and hazard.  Purdue researchers say they have developed a purification system that is a breakthrough. Solar Power+Charcoal+Foam & Goes Full Circle The Purdue process relies on solar-powered charcoal foam.  The charcoal is heated up by solar energy to absorb petroleum.  The scientists have...
