20120127_IMG_8419.jpg The Farmgen anaerobic bio digestor at Dryholme Farm near Silloth Cumbria, UK. The plant which cost £4.5 million, produces 1.2 Mw of electricity, enough to power 2000 households. It uses around 25,000 tons of feedstock annualy, mainly maize and grass, which is mixed with farm slurry and fed into the massive digestors where bacteria break it down. The resulting methane is what powers the electricity generator. The waste product can be spread on the land as a fertilizer, and there are also plans to dry it and sell as biomass boiler fuel. This shot shows the hot water from the generator that is being fed into the digestors to keep the bacteria at a constant temperature.

IMG_1130_cover.jpg Dong Energy are building the Walney offshore wind farm, off the Cumbrian coast, UK. When finished the farm will consist of 102, 3.6 MW turbines, giving a total capacity of the Walney project of 367.2 MW, enough to power 320,000 homes. The rotor diameter of the turbines is 107m for Walney 1 and 120 m for Walney 2. The turbines are shipped into the UK and stored at Mostyn port in North Wales. From here they are picked up by a jack up barge, that sails out to the construction site to build the turbines.

IMG_4685_boat.jpg A childrens toy boat in a dried up river bed above Skala Eresou on Lesbos , Greece.  Many rivers in the southern Mediteranean are ephemeral, drying up in the summer months. However climate change is causing this area to become both hotter and drier, leading to rivers that flow less often, with associated water shortages.
