THE Pounds 50,000 scheme to turn Totnes Civic Hall into a solar energy powerhouse is being unveiled with a fanfare today -- even though there will be nothing to turn on because British Gas cannot change the electricity meter. The 70 photovoltaic cells which have been installed on the hall's south facing roof cannot start producing electricity until the meter is switched over and British Gas cannot get to the hall for another nine days.

RESEARCHERS from Swansea University's School of Engineering, in collaborationwith Swansea based PureWafer International Limited, have successfully developed a new low-cost solar cell which could dramatically reduce energy costs in people's homes. The solar cell has been developed from reclaimed silicon, a by- product of the semiconductor industry. The cells can be incorporated into photovoltaic (PV) modules, which could be installed on the roofs of buildings or developed into a solar power electricity plant. Photovoltaic technology, which converts sunlight into electricity, is developing rapidly and the collaboration with Swansea University is helping PureWafer's venture into the expanding solar cell market.

WORK has begun on turning the 50-year-old l o s s -m a k i n g T o t n e s Civic Hall into a sunfuelled eco powerhouse -- which will pump electricity into the national grid and help slash taxpayers' bills. More than 70 photovoltaic cells are being fitted to the south- facing roof of the town centre hall as part of a major scheme to cut the old building's carbon footprint.

OVER the past fortnight the Post has taken readers on a stroll down memory lane, looking at the way things were when Swansea was given city status in 1969, and how it's changed since. But what about the future? While it's pretty much impossible to tell what events might affect Swansea's future, we can, to a certain extent, peer into the crystal ball to see how our cultural landscape will look in 2049. A big part of that is what the city will look like.

WELSH steelworkers could soon be turning out solar energy roofs which will turn buildings into power stations generating over one third of the UK's requirement for renewable energy by 2020. In the UK there are more than four billion square metres of roofs and facades that can take solar panels. Tata Steel working with Swansea University, Pilkington Glass and other partners hopes this vast area can be used for harvesting solar energy.

Catching, processing, refrigeration and transportation all account for energy usage in the supply of seafood products. Within the fisheries sector, the numerous catching methods have different fuel efficiencies. As the price of marine diesel has increased greatly over the last few years, certain sectors have seen fuel bills become too high to remain profitable. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies the environmental aspects and potential impacts throughout a product's life from raw material acquisition through production, use, and disposal. The complexity of the food industry makes any comparison a challenge. With most factories having a different mix of products and processes, comparisons had to try and remove this variable. This meant working by comparing site level against another site...

SOL2o, one of the North East's leading renewable energy companies, has reported a huge surge in interest from businesses across the region in new and renewable energy technologies, as they recognise the value of those technologies to their businesses and to the wider community. The recently announced feed-in tariff introduced by the Government has also increased interest in renewable energy as the utility companies will now pay businesses and individuals to generate their own electricity and for any excess electricity they produce which is fed back into the National Grid Steve Wigham, head of operations at Sol2o, said: "The guarantee of getting an income on top of saving on energy bills will be an incentive to businesses, householders, landowners and communities wanting to make the move...
