Clean Diesel Start-up DieselTek: Managers and Investors – Part Six in a Series
| July 18, 2010 | Posted by Craig Shields under Renewables - Business |
Lance Miller, president of clean diesel start-up DieselTek discusses the harmony between the company’s managers and its investors.

It’s fast becoming apparent that large clean energy storage is needed for variable renewable energy integration into the grid, not only to stabilize that resource but to avoid inevitable curtailment due to transmission constraints. The resulting VERS (variable energy resources) losses incurred reduce the value of clean energy, particularly wind, in some cases by 50%. Detailed information of this nexus is spelled out in a subcontracted study by NREL released October 2009. (NREL/SR-550-46716)
