Thế giới sẽ ra sao khi nguồn năng lượng hóa thạch cạn kiệt? Tạp chí LiveScience đã tổ chức trưng cầu ý kiến độc giả về những nguồn năng lượng thay thế dầu mỏ trong tương lai, và kết quả như sau (từ thấp đến cao)

Summerhill Group, which is representing Ice Energy’s Ice Bear product in Canada, probably wishes the system has had more traction. Basically, the Ice Bear system uses off-peak electricity to create large blocks of ice, and then uses that ice during summer peak times to provide cooling — the idea being that it offsets the need to run air conditioners at times when electricity is most expensive.

A personal helicopter weighing just 230 lb created sizzling news when it flew on hydrogen with zero emission. With an ability to carry payloads up to 800 lbs, this pocket Hercules can fly for 90 minutes. Fitted with easy controls, this reaches a speed of 100 knots thanks to a pair of small yet powerful motors mounted on it. Two common and easily available things – Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and a catalyst – combined to bring about a milestone in personal aviation history with attention to the environmental issues as well! Avimech has combined these two to power engine in to an innovative machine.

Theo TKV, sau khi giấy phép thăm dò được cấp, Tập đoàn sẽ khẩn trương tổ chức thi công và lập báo cáo, nếu được nhà nước phê duyệt, TKV sẽ lập các dự án khai thác than thử nghiệm bằng công nghệ khai thác hầm lò truyền thống hoặc khí hóa than trong lòng đất trên cơ sở đảm bảo hiệu quả về kinh tế, môi trường và xã hội.

Two scientists are on a path-breaking method to produce ’sea-urchins’ to expedite the work capacity and efficiency of photovoltaic devices. Jamil Elias and Laetitia Philippe are the two scientists from Empa’s Mechanics of Materials & Nanostructures Laboratory who have been successful in producing these tiny ’sea urchins’ which are ready to revolutionize solar-cell technology.

Starting early to develop China's own energy-efficient and new-energy vehicles a decade ago, China now has an established industry with the research and development of three types of these vehicles and three key technologies at its core. Zhang Laiwu, vice science and technology minister, made the remark Thursday at a press conference in Beijing, adding that China' s industrial pattern of green vehicles was relatively unique in the world, because of its early start to develop these vehicles.

On September 17, the Thien Tan Joint Stock Company was successful in connecting electricity sources from the Ha Nang Hydroelectric Plant with the national electricity network. The plant has been constructed in Tra Thuy Commune, Tra Bong District, Quang Ngai Province. The plant has capacity of 11MW and totally costs more than VND300 billion. The plant supplies 76 million of KW annually.

Khi lắp đặt cửa sổ, nên chọn cửa số hai lớp kính, thay vì một lớp, biến chúng thành vật cách nhiệt, ngăn cách không gian nội thất với nhiệt độ cao từ bên ngoài vào mùa hè (nhất là khi bật máy điều hoà) và thất thoát nhiệt vào mùa đông thì tuy chi phí ban đầu tốn kém hơn, song lại đỡ tiền điện sau này.

Nowadays, batteries are hardly meeting the normal consumer’s demand regarding their capacity and lifetime. Complaints about laptops whose charge lasts too little, or about electric cars not being able to charge as quick and last as long as gasoline are frequent. Amprius, a US-based company, addresses these issues and develops abattery that they say it can hold double the charge of regular lithium ion batteries.

On September 19 in Dan Thanh Commune, Duyen Hai District, Tra Vinh Province, the Vietnam Electricity (EVN) worked with the Chinese Dongfang Electric Corporation to start construction of the Duyen Hai Thermoelectric Plant 1 with capacity of 1,245MW. The project costs VND29.245 billion, 85 percent of which was sourced from the Chinese Import-Export Bank with 15 percent from EVN.

Theo Phó thủ tướng kiêm Bộ trưởng Năng lượng Ca-ta, hai tập đoàn này sẽ xây dựng một tổ hợp sản xuất hóa dầu tại Long Sơn (Vũng Tàu) với tổng số vốn đầu tư khoảng 4 tỷ USD.

There are still funds available to help West Virginians replace home appliances with new, energy efficient models. In fact, residents can now take advantage of two programs aimed at saving consumers money and protecting the environment. Currently, the West Virginia Enery Efficient Appliance Rebate Program and the state's Energy Star® Sales Tax Holiday are both in effect.

The 27-nation bloc could make 90 billion liters (24 billion gallons) of so-called next-generation ethanol in 2020, about 65 percent of predicted fossil gasoline use, the London-based group said in a study. At least 100 refineries a year could be built in the bloc from 2013, it said. The EU currently has no commercial factories that refine biofuels from plant waste.

A research team from the ORNL (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) performed a microscopy research on lithium ion batteries. They found out how they actually work at nanoscale levels and provided invaluable data never gathered before.

A new directly solar powered air conditioning system has been unveiled in China that has the potential to not only make cooling a home green, but also save homeowners a huge amount of money at the same time. The machine is made by a company called Vicot.

Trên thực tế, dân cư ở vùng này có thể tìm đến với hai dự án nhằm hướng tới tiết kiệm chi phí cho người sử dụng và bảo vệ môi trường. Đó là dự án giảm hạ giá thành các thiết bị tiết kiệm năng lượng tại Tây Virginia và Mùa giảm thuế cho các sản phẩm có nhãn tiết kiệm năng lượng - Energy Star.

A report published by an Indian Defense ministry-backed think tank has proposed for the establishment of an international space-based solar energy program with India and the United States initiating this massive project. The report is prepared by Peter Garretson, a US Air Force lieutenant colonel, working with the Institue of Defense Studies and Analyses, New Delhi. The reports calls for the Indian and the United States’ governments to extend their strategic partnerships to initiate this pathbreaking project and make the space-based solar energy a commercially viable business venture by 2025.

The Vietnam Academy of Sciences and Technology (VAST) said that under the cooperation with the Institute of Applied Chemistry under the Russia Science Center, the Institute of Chemistry of Natural Substances under VAST has produced alcohol with ethanol concentration at 99.98 percent and the total content of organic impurities at less than 16ppm, without using chemical agents.

The Vinh Phuc Province Department of Science and Technology recently worked with the Promoting Energy Conservation in Small and Medium Scale Enterprise Project (PECSME) under the Ministry of Science and Technology to organize a training course on energy conservation in small and mediums-sized enterprises in the areas of textile-garment, food processing, paper and pulp.
