A co-founder of the National Fuel Cell Research Center at the University of California Irvine campus, Sempra Energy’s Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) has invested $1 million in Oregon-based fuel cell manufacturer ClearEdge Power. The utility has been involved in the testing and demonstration of fuel cells for the past four decades. ClearEdge has a product that is a combined heat-power (CHP) fuel cell that claims to reduce carbon emissions by one-third and other pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds, ash and particulates, to trace levels. The Sempra utility cited a recent business intelligence report for the fuel cell industry, projecting a 10-fold increase in the sector from, $2 billion to $20 billion. SoCalGas said it envisions the advance of fuel cells as greatly reducing the nation’s reliance on coal and helping boost its use of natural gas.

Report: ‘Climategate’ Charges ‘Largely Misplaced’
Scientists at Britain’s Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) did not tamper with scientific data, but could have avoided some of the controversy surrounding leaked documents last year by making their data and methodology more readily available, according to a report issued by a committee of England’s House of Commons last Wednesday.

Fewer Atlantic Hurricanes Forecast by CSU
Colorado State University (CSU) last week lowered its Atlantic hurricane forecast for 2009 to 12 named storms, with at least half of them likely to become hurricanes. Two of the storms are expected to develop into intense or major hurricanes (Saffir/Simpson Category 3-4-5) with sustained winds of 111 mph or more.
