Micro hydro power - generating electricity from flowing water | CAT Information Service

http://info.cat.org.uk/hydro

Micro hydro power - generating electricity from flowing water. Hydro electricity can be one of the cheapest methods of providing off-grid renewable electricity, but it is also very site specific. The best sites are on steep hills, with fast flowing water. One advantage is that on a good site you may not need batteries or an inverter (to step from DC to AC voltage), as the turbine will produce 240 volts AC and can just be turned on when needed. Download the hydro power information sheet. What is a hydraul...

It is a renewable fuel that truly "grows on trees" and it can be produced locally and sustainably - as long as a new tree is planted for every tree that is cut down. Burning wood biomass emits CO.
