27 June 2014. El Hierro Island, in the Spanish Canary Islands, is a little island with 10,000 inhabitants. Today open in the island a pumped storage scheme fueled at last by wind energy. This technological combination storages energy generated by wind turbines in a reservoir lake with a hydro turbine that supplies energy when is required.

This interesting system makes El Hierro island free from oil pollution and crude oil dependency. Today El Hierro becomes 100% renewable energy fueled for electricity generation.

We want to complete the general news information about Baiji Refinery checking our industrial cards to provide new data.

At Baiji and very nearby we find at industryabout.com 3 different oil refineries:

NRC-Baiji North

NRC-Baiji Salahudin

NRC-Seniyah

The 3 refineries have 320,000 barrels per day of crude oil of installed capacity that make this location the main hub for the Iraqi refining activities and the main source of the country for refined products as gasoline, diesel,  kerosene, etc.

Other data about this question is about the finance structure of ISIS rebels. Most part of American population think that US government is supporting Iraqi government against ISIS Islamist rebel forces but reality seems to be more complicated and hardly different.

The main financial basis of ISIS rebels are Saudi Arabia individuals (from government?) collaboration and Crude Oil is sold to Turkey from Syrian ISIS controlled oilfields through Ceyhan port in Turkey.

Sold of crude oil to Turkey (a NATO member country) has the necessary agree of US government because it's impossible to sold this crude without US permits inside a NATO structure. Some involved companies are occidental transnationals like ExxonMobil, Total or Chevron for example.
