Green Cross Russia develops groundbreaking method that generates cleaner and cheaper energy from animal waste
Moscow/Geneva (PRWEB UK) 28 April 2014
Green Cross Russia announced today the development of an innovative method converting animal waste into biogas for half the price and running on cleaner energy than existing biogas facilities in Europe. This groundbreaking method – the Green Cross Method – was developed in a farm on the outskirts of Moscow.
President of Green Cross Russia, Sergey Baranovsky, is passionate about his organization’s mission to produce energy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In his words, the fact that “a relatively small NGO, and not big government or industry” developed the new method is an interesting development. “Nobody else has been able to come up with an effective, economical way to convert manure into environmentally friendly, organic source of energy.”
The Green Cross Method produces clean energy and generates heat from burning methane (CH4) derived from biogas.
The plant where the Green Cross Method is in use initially began processing manure from between 30 to 100 head of cattle into biogas. This biogas has a composition of 80% methane, can be produced within 36 to 48 hours and has a total output of 30-kilowatt hours of electricity. The plant also burns clean energy without emitting carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane into the atmosphere.
Animal emissions account for approximately 18% of CO2 and CH4 in the air worldwide according to Baranovsky. “Our method will give the agricultural sector ‘tools’ to prevent pollution of the atmosphere,” he said.
Currently, the plant processes waste from about 200 cows, but Baranovsky points out the cost-saving factor is based on biogas production for more than 700 cows. Based on this output, the Green Cross Method has a return on investment from biogas energy production in just one and a half year, as opposed to standard biogas facilities operating in Europe, which can take up to 10 years before having a fair return.
Energy generated by the biogas plant is powering agriculture and livestock facilities at a farm operated by the Russian Institute of Livestock. This farm is establishing an educational centre for farmers and has plans to promote this model in neighboring states. “Rapid action to reduce global carbon emissions is needed if we are to de-carbonize the global economy in the coming decades. The latest IPCC report has showed that this is not only possible but also affordable without sacrificing living standards,” said Green Cross International’s (GCI) Chief Operating Officer Adam Koniuszewski.
The next step—promoting and installing the biogas system—is an important one to Baranovsky. While he is pleased about the positive effects the Green Cross Method has on the environment, advances can only be made in society if all farms use this system. “Governments and industries must now take an active role in finding international markets for this important source of energy,” ends Baranovsky.

One Stop Green Creates New Infographic to Quantify ActiveLED Lighting Savings
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) December 28, 2012
One Stop Green, an international distributor of green, energy efficient products and services has created a new infographic to define the Path to Net Zero with ActiveLED lighting. The infographic outlines the path to achieve net zero – a term for a building or facility with zero net energy consumption and zero carbon emissions annually. By first dramatically reducing energy consumption with ActiveLED lighting, facilities can compliment this energy efficient lighting with solar PV solutions to produce a long term, sustainable lighting solution that is off grid and perfect for emergencies when access to power is limited.
The Path to Net Zero Infographic uses the Riverbend Parking Garage case study in Iowa City, Iowa. The parking garage was using 34 – 240w metal halide lights that were on for twenty-four hours a day producing an annual consumption of 71,482 kWh costing the property owners $ 6,433.34 every year. With the ActiveLED solution, each 240w MH light was replaced with an 18-watt energy efficient ActiveLED light providing more lumens per watt and even illumination throughout the parking garage. With the intelligent light space manager, each 18w light went down to 5 watts in ActiveREST still producing light, that upon detection of movement powers to full light output. With the Next Generation ActiveLED lighting solution, the garage now produces only 5,361 KwH costing the property owner $ 482.50 annually – a return on investment of only 1.8 years saving them 93% kWh savings in the first year alone. The ten-year recoup amount for the property owner, within the warranty period alone is over six figures – guaranteed energy savings backed by our unconditional no light loss warranty.
Each ActiveLED fixture is made in America, specifically in Georgetown, Texas and comes with a warranty performance, which guarantees an extremely long life cycle. While other competitors can only estimate energy savings and ROI numbers, the quality and technology behind ActiveLED products allow One Stop Green to quantify the exact savings and is even guaranteed to deliver. The patented design produces a brilliant white light with fewer watts making it the most efficient LED light on the market delivering immediate savings derived from energy and maintenance costs. One Stop Green offers ActiveLED lighting and even for any interiors, exteriors, commercial office, commercial retail and manufacturing, and even grow lights.
ActiveLED is also the most environmentally safe lighting available containing no zero mercury content while providing valuable LEED points. All ActiveLED fixtures are 100% recyclable, at the end of the light’s life cycle, One Stop Green will even buy the light back to recycle and re-use, truly a Green Product.
One Stop Green, LLC facilitates environmentally friendly improvements to residential and commercial properties through distribution of green, energy efficient products and services. Their goal is to provide practical, long-term, and economical solutions for existing and non-existing facilities while remaining dedicated to the principles of sustainability. One Stop Green’s mission is to help consumers take control of their energy options so they can reduce their carbon footprint and do their part for the environment, while protecting themselves against rising energy costs and taking advantage of valuable Federal tax credits and deductions.

Aultman Hospital Greens up with a Green Roof
Canton, Ohio and Spring Lake, Mich. (PRWEB) December 18, 2012
As part of an ongoing effort to green up its campus, promote sustainability and improve the care experience for patients, Aultman Hospital has installed its first green roof. The LiveRoof® Hybrid Green Roof System was selected for the 2,500-square-foot project, which was installed by Rice’s Nursery & Landscaping (Canton, Ohio) with plants grown by Corso’s Perennials (Sandusky, Ohio).
“Views of natural landscapes have a positive effect on emotional and mental health. Some studies have even shown that patients who have a view of green space have lower levels of stress and anxiety and recover more quickly, ” said Ryan Jones, vice president of support services at Aultman Hospital. “In addition to providing a more natural view from the windows of our patient rooms, the green roof provides environmental benefits, including better stormwater management.”
“The green roof also shields the underlying structural roof, protecting it from UV radiation and temperature extremes and from damage from windblown debris,” said Jones. “That helps extend the service life of the roof.”
According to Jones, the project team agreed on the selection of the LiveRoof system. Its modular design makes it easy to install. LiveRoof modules include unique features which establish a green roof as a naturally functioning ecosystem. With LiveRoof, the green roof plants are fully grown when the system is installed for instant results, enduring beauty and low maintenance.
“Through its area distributor and grower, Corso’s Perennials, LiveRoof offered regional horticultural expertise and green roof planning and installation experience that made them a good partner for our local landscape contractor, Rice’s Nursery & Landscaping,” said Jones.
“When Rice’s Nursery installed the green roof at Aultman Hospital in October, we delivered the LiveRoof modules full of regionally adapted, locally grown plants that were full-grown, flourishing, and ready for the rooftop, which is a tough environment for plants,” said Gus Corso, president of Corso’s Perennials. “The roof is planted with our Carefree Evergreen plant mix, which features eight different varieties of Sedum for a diversity of textures and colors. The blue of the Sedum Reflexum and the yellow of the Angelina stand out from the green and red varieties. Winter brings out more red and purple shades, and the yellow turns to orange.”

Luna, A Green Walk-able, Community And SantaFe.com Featured Business, Is Coming To Downtown Santa Fe
Luna, A Green Walk-able, Community And SantaFe.com Featured Business, Is Coming To Downtown Santa Fe
Santa Fe, New Mexico (PRWEB) March 15, 2012
Santa Fe’s downtown gateway has a new addition with Luna, a green mixed-use development. A fixture on Santa Fe visitor guide SantaFe.com, Luna, located in the downtown area on old Route 66, has designs on starting construction in March of 2012 with a projection completion date of September 2012 for the first phase of the project. The $ 18 million project is available for leasing now with a target occupancy date of the fall of 2012.
The initial phase will renovate or “recycle” two existing buildings on the property that were formerly a 1930’s movie theatre, a DeSoto car dealership and, more recently, a stationery store and night spot Club Luna back in the 1990’s. The development plan calls for 60,000 plus square feet of restaurant, retail, office and loft spaces.
The development will include several green elements, such as highly efficient heating and cooling systems, extensive water catchment and reuse and even infrastructure planned for owners to easily install solar panels. Don Wiviott, a consultant for the project states, “We even talked about making the energy consuming components of the project metered to increase awareness among our community members.” Luna is named after Club Luna, the downtown nightclub that closed in 1994.
Luna is a collaboration between Ken Joseph, a longtime office space building developer in Santa Fe, his wife Deena and Wiviott, the builder and developer of The Lofts in Santa Fe. The goal for the spaces in Luna in the Santa Fe real estate market is to be very flexible and “market proof”, so that units can be converted from hotel-like suites to offices and from offices to retail or vice-versa. Spaces can be purchase or leased with square footage ranging from a high of 9,000 square feet all the way down to 560 square feet. “The location is 2 blocks from the Capitol, the new county courthouse and the Railyard District and four blocks from the plaza,” says Joseph. “You couldn’t ask for a better or more convenient location in downtown Santa Fe.”
About Luna
Luna is a new mixed used walk-able community with 60,000-plus square feet of space available for purchase or lease with a variety of uses available including restaurant, retail, office or live-work lofts. The project is set to start March 2012 with Phase 1 space available for move in projected for September 2012
