The US Navy requires stainless steel for all its PV projects. The project was awarded to AE by Maui Solar Energy Systems, the solar integrator that will construct the project.

Từ đêm 15 rạng ngày 16/7 trên một phần lãnh thổ nước Bỉ các tuyến đường bộ cao tốc không được chiếu sáng ban đêm nữa. Đây là biện pháp tiết kiệm điện chưa có tiền lệ của chính quyền vùng Flanders.

Under the would-be regulations, by early 2012, all businesses trading in petrol and oil are expected to sell petrol mixed with biofuels, specifically ethanol, at the initial ratio of 5% (petrol E5), instead of the conventional one. Now PV Oil under the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (Petro Vietnam) is having

Bic Camera Inc.'s Ikebukuro head office in Toshima Ward reported that sales of air conditioners since April have risen 30 percent over a year ago and those of electric fans posted fourfold to fivefold increases. Highly energy-efficient refrigerators are also in big demand.

The wait is nearly over. Car buyers will soon be able to compare models based on government certified fuel efficiency labels before making a final choice without having to wonder which review to trust or go by sales talk.

Trường Đại học kỹ thuật Delft (Delft University of Technology, TU Delft) Hà Lan đang thử nghiệm một hệ thống thắp sáng đường phố thông minh trong khuôn viên trường, sử dụng ít hơn 80% lượng điện

Những năm vừa qua, Delta đã xúc tiến phát triển các dự án tòa nhà xanh, và xác định mục tiêu hàng đầu cho các sản phẩm, dự án tự động hóa công nghiệp phải gắn liền với tiết kiệm năng lượng và hệ thống tự động hóa tòa nhà thông minh.

Handbook ‘Information on the wind energy sector in Viet Nam’ provides necessary details about the valid legal framework and incentives by Vietnamese Government for investors of wind power in Vietnam. It also gives crucial information about investment procedures and financial options.

As of 2010, 57% of electricity in Latin America and the Caribbean stems from hydro sources while another 40% comes from thermoelectric power plants using fossil fuels and natural gas. Of the remainder, 2% comes from nuclear stations and 1% from wind, solar and geothermal plants.

Wadebridge đang tiến tới trở thành thành phố mặt trời đầu tiên tại Anh khi việc lắp đặt quang điện đã bắt đầu được triển khai trên thành phố này. Mục tiêu của Wadebridge là tới năm 2015 sẽ sản xuất được ít nhất 1/3 lượng điện năng từ các nguồn mặt trời và gió, tương đương với 15,000 MWh mỗi năm. Ở mức này, thành phố Wadebridge sẽ có thể thu được một khoản lợi nhuận đáng kể từ nguồn thuế FiTs của Anh để đầu tư vào các dự án công cộng tại đây.

Nhà máy năng lượng Mặt Trời lớn nhất thế giới đã bắt đầu được khởi công xây dựng cuối tuần qua tại hạt Riverside, Nam California. Ước tính dự án này sẽ tạo ra 3.470 MW năng lượng, tương đương 6% nhu cầu năng lượng của California, đủ để cung cấp điện cho hơn 1,4 triệu hộ gia đình.

Accordingly, to end of 2011, the country will have four ethanol fuel manufacturing facilities in operation with the design capacity of 300,000 tons per year, enough to produce about 6 million tons of E5 petrol to serve domestic consumption.

Demand for energy in Vietnam tends to increase faster than the speed of economic development. Therefore, energy efficiency and conservation is very important for the development of the country's economy and businesses. Aware of this, Hanoi Kim Bai beer JSC has implemented energy saving, firstly energy audit, to identify opportunities to reduce energy costs.

"It basically becomes a stovetop, and you can heat anything you need to," said Sam Major, a member of the team with seniors Daniel Rist, David Luker and William Dunk. "As long as the autoclave reaches 121 Celsius (250 F) for 30 minutes (the standard set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), everything should be sterile, and we've found we're able to do that pretty easily.

Wadebridge in Cornwall has moved another step towards becoming the first solar powered town in the UK, as PV installations begin to go up across the municipality. The area aims to generate at least a third of its electricity from solar and wind power by 2015, which is the equivalent of 15,000MWh a year. By generating renewable energy at this level, Wadebridge will be able to benefit significantly from the UK’s feed-in tariff, enabling significant cash contributions for local community projects.

The Stevens Institute of Technology Chemical Engineering Senior Design team of Rachel Kenion, Liana Vaccari, and Katie Van Strander designed, fabricated, and tested biochar electrodes for supercapacitors. The group is advised by Dr. Woo Lee, the George Meade Bond Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science.

Ministers have tried to address public lack of trust in energy companies by offering assurances about the “Green Deal” – a policy designed to improve the energy efficiency of homes. Under this plan, any householder will be able to spend up to £10,000 making their home more energy efficient, funded by the savings from future gas and electricity bills.

Germany's solar photovoltaic (PV) industry now employs more workers than steel production in the USA. With over 100,000 "green jobs" in PV alone, around 75 percent of European solar cells and modules as well as countless components are made in Germany. Record-breaking domestic demand is a key industry driver, with 7.4 GWp of PV capacity installed in 2010.

A series of new, larger turbines with longer blades have been launched into the market recently as manufacturers strive to deliver the lowest cost of energy with the next generation of designs. London, UK A trend towards larger capacity turbines with longer blades and larger rotor diameters has been long established, with OEMs continuing to offer existing machines with a range of rotor diameters. But now, a new generation of still larger machines has been unveiled.
