GPAEE EVENT PREVIEW - NOVEMBER 2014

Cogeneration & Plant Tour at Veolia Thursday November 20, 2014 Lunch Meeting

January 24, 2015 Greetings from Future City Philadelphia. The school year is off to a great start. So far teams from 40 area schools have signed up and have started designing their cities of the future. Here is the current list of schools that need mentors:

Beverly Hills Middle School Upper Darby, PA Eisenhower Leadership Academy Norristown, PA Grover Washington Jr. Middle School Philadelphia, PA (Olney) Keith Valley Middle School Horsham, PA Sanford School Wilmington, DE Serviam Girls Academy New Castle, DE Seven Generations Charter School Emmaus, PA St. Aloysius Academy Bryn Mawr, PA St. Elizabeth Parish School Uwchlan, PA Upland Country Day School Kennett Square, PA

Future City’s greatest need at this stage of the competition is for mentors. Remember back to when you were in school - imagine how much having a mentor with real world experience would have helped you design that big project? This is what you can provide to these teams. Just a few hours a month can make a big difference in how students approach their project and how they start to address it. Please contact Jennifer Wetzel if you are interested in working with any of these schools and she will get you in touch with the team's teacher. Please visit www.futurecityphilly.org or click on Volunteer Opportunities for the On-Line Volunteer Form.

Future City Philadelphia is looking to expand their Steering Committee. If you’ve enjoyed working with the program and attending the competitions in the past please consider getting more involved. The Committee’s biggest need is for a Mentor Coordinator and a Volunteer Coordinator. Sign up now and put Saturday, January 24, 2015 on your calendar!

Energy Department Announces $25 Million to Reduce Costs of Algal Biofuels The Energy Department on September 30 announced up to $25 million in funding to reduce the cost of algal biofuels to less than $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019. The funding announced will support projects in two topic areas: Topic Area 1 awards (anticipated to be one to three selections) will range from $5 million to $10 million and focus on the develop- ment of algae cultures that, in addition to biofuels, produce valuable bioproducts that increase the overall value of the biomass. Topic Area 2 awards (anticipated at three to seven selections) will range from $500,000 to $1 million and will focus on the development of crop protection or carbon dioxide utilization technologies to boost biomass productivity in ways that lead to higher yields of algae.

Regional Planning Commission Announces Dozens of Project Seed Grants The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission today announced $2.2 million in grants to jump-start transportation projects in dozens of communities across the Philadelphia region. The grants, which come from federal funds, will help 32 communities in and around Philadelphia, from Chester to Mercer counties, as part of its “TCDI” program (Transportation and Community Development Initiative).(more)

Quick Question: How Energy Efficient is Your City? Whenever I go to trivia night, I am amazed by the little factoids I know nothing about. Baseball or Seinfeld trivia, I have that down. Knowing the name of the township in New Jersey, of Algonquian language origin, where Aaron Burr mortally wounded Alexander Hamilton in a duel? Not so much. (It’s Weehawken, by the way.) Even for those of us in the energy efficiency world, there’s always more to learn about efficiency-related programs and policies that have been implemented by states and cities. ACEEE’s State and Local Energy Efficiency Database can help you do just that. (more)

PUC Rejects Judges’ Decision, Orders Hearings on Sunoco Logistics Pipeline The Public Utility Commission has ordered more hearings on Sunoco Logistics’ request to bypass local zoning to build structures for facilities along its 300-mile natural gas liquids pipeline. In a 4-1 vote Thursday, the PUC rejected a recommendation from its administrative law judges to dismiss the petition because the company is not a public utility. The commission argues Sunoco Logistics and its Mariner East project are the product of a merger between two pipeline companies that had public utility status since the 1930s. (more)
