Two exciting alternative energy issues investors should know

Two investment themes in the alternative energy changing landscape emerged, such as potential profit for investors Center. To take advantage of these trends, the Roen has added about 250 companies, alternative energy with it Monte financial report in four new companies we track for our readers.

Investment topic #1: of the growing Japanese solar domestic market

In the course of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan has committed to the growing renewable energy as a source of domestic energy. Mercom Capital Group Japan had over shipments and massive growth of 343 percent 73 percent quarter on growth in solar cell last year. Promising plays the two companies that are down in this area.

Kyocera Corp ADR (KYO):Kyocera is a Japanese electronics company with a wide range of products, including solar and energy-management systems. The profitable company will probably benefit from the acceleration of domestic Japanese solar plants.

Sharp Corp. ADR (SHCAY):Sharp is a large Japanese consumer electronics companies, the business over 50 years since. The stock price has reports to fight, but how Kyocera, sharp growth in the domestic Japanese solar should benefit as a result of poor performance.

Investment subject #2: alternative fuel engines

Engineers design and develop of the next generation of modules, to reduce the US dependency on foreign oil, while greenhouse gas emissions reduce. This latest alternative fuel engines are much more efficient and much less environmental burden. Importantly, cut back on transportation costs. The two companies below are important actors in this field.

Cummins Inc. (CMI):Cummins is a big Indiana-based engine manufacturer, which products contain energy efficient diesel engines and low-emission natural gas engines. It has a reasonable PE, but his stock is overpriced at these levels.

Power solutions International (PSIX):Power solutions is a "pure play" company that produces systems to alternative fuels such as natural gas, propane, biogas and electric and hybrid technologies. Despite the fact that doubled in the last year in the price the stock power solutions shows superior revenue growth and is likely from here continue its bullish trend.

Energy Department Issues Tribal Renewable Energy Guidance

The Energy Department on December 5 announced two new initiatives aimed at driving increased renewable energy production and sustainable economic development in Indian Country. As part of the Energy Department's efforts to support tribal renewable energy production, the Department issued a policy statement and guidance that gives preference to Indian tribes when its facilities contract to purchase renewable energy products or by-products based on authorities under the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The Energy Department also announced new training and education resources to help Tribal Nations advance local renewable energy project financing and development.

The Department's Office of Indian Energy Policy and the Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory recently issued an updated estimate of the renewable energy potential on Indian lands. While American Indian land comprises about 2% of all U.S. land, this analysis found that Indian lands contain 5% of total U.S. renewable energy resource potential, including high generation potential for solar, wind, and hydropower, among other renewable resources.

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.

DOE's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) issued a $150 million funding opportunity on March 2 that is open to all transformational energy technologies. This Open Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is a call to scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs to propose early-stage research projects that would not otherwise be able to attract private investment. Such projects could lead to breakthrough energy technologies. This is the second Open FOA released under ARPA-E.

The open call includes electricity generation by renewable means; electricity transmission, storage, and distribution; energy efficiency for buildings, manufacturing and commerce, and personal use; and all aspects of transportation, including the production and distribution of renewable fuels, electrification, and energy efficiency in transportation. Individual awards under the Open FOA will range between $250,000 and $10 million. See the DOE press release and the FOA announcement on the Funding Opportunity Exchange website.
