But the costly distillation process is so energy-intensive that just 1.1 units of energy are produced for every unit used.
But a recently published survey of the various conflicting engineering studies comes up with a plausible compromise estimate: Every unit of energy that goes into making ethanol from corn produces ethanol that yields 1.27 units of energy.
Profit in its industrial segment was up 11%, while energy infrastructure and transportation units booked profit increases of 13% and 35%.

FORBES: Get A Steady Flow Of Income From This Oil MLP That's Raised Its Dividend 29 Times In A Row
First, the history: Back in 1993, President Clinton proposed a broad-based energy tax (called a BTU tax since it taxed energy content measured in British Thermal Units).
This type of battery has an unusually high energy density, which means the units can be smaller and thus lighter for a given amount of power than traditional batteries.
Units of New Source Energy Partners fell, making the owner of developed and undeveloped oil and natural-gas properties in Oklahoma the latest master limited partnership to struggle at the outset of trading.
The New Source Review provision under the Clean Air Act, for example, is intended to prevent older coal-fired power plants from equipping their old units to produce more energy that release more pollutants.
Two in five people will lose money buying new units, says the Department of Energy.
As mentioned above, Russia gets to be treated like a superpower again while it arms Iran, inserts bombers and naval units into our hemisphere, wields its energy leverage against our friends in Europe, Ukraine and Georgia and squeezes our supply lines into Afghanisan.
For every unit of energy to drive the compressor, the pump yields four units of heat.
GE's industrial portfolio, especially its infrastructure units (transport, oil, gas, energy and aerospace), is increasingly international and is still growing solidly.
Speaking to reporters Monday afternoon, Robert Alvarez, a former senior policy adviser at the U.S. Department of Energy, said that the actual conditions at the affected units remains unknown.

Technologies on display ranged from solar powered water purification units to military vehicles using next generation materials and energy sources to light weight batteries that can give better range and endurance.
Then it's pumped back in to carry more heat away from the plant's fuel rods, which continue producing energy long after the chain reaction at the heart of the units has been stopped.
Several electric utilities have looked at what happens to energy use when individuals either buy Individual House Display (IHD) units for their homes or volunteer to use devices donated by the utilities.
SunCoke Energy (SXC) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, SunCoke Energy Partners, has launched its IPO of 13, 500, 000 common units representing limited partner interests pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

It has sold hundreds of the new detector units to the military, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy and emergency response teams.
To put that in perspective, the Energy Information Agency, part of the U.S. Department of Energy, estimates the country annually consumes 100 quads (lingo for quadrillion British thermal units)y.
New Source Energy Partners announced today the commencement of its IPO of 4, 000, 000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
They are curbing run-away energy with a combination of micro-level controls (for individual servers, power distribution units, air-flow controllers, and cooling units) as well as macro-level controls and policies (for racks of servers, rows of racks, and entire data centers).
FORBES: The Growing Energy Demands Of Living Your Life In The Cloud
International, realized that standard measurements for sources of energy barrels of oil, tons of coal, gallons of gas, British thermal units were nearly impossible to compare.
