Black & Veatch, a global engineering, consulting and construction company, has identified more than 5,000 MW of untapped renewable energy resources in Arizona, enough to meet the energy needs of more than 1.5 million customers.

The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District and Chevron Corp. took a small but meaningful step toward the wider deployment of alternative fuels with the launch this week of their six-month Cleaner Fuels Test Program. The program will study two alternative fuels - a blend of biodiesel and ultra low-sulfur diesel, and a synthetic diesel fuel made from natural gas - in 22 AC Transit buses.

What do the countries of Thailand, Uruguay and Ghana have in common? They all could become leading producers of biodiesel, says a study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies.
