A team from MIT –- composed of students Michael Laracy and Thomas Poinot, along with professors Elsa Olivetti, Hamlin Jennings and John Ochsendorf -- has developed Eco-BLAC bricks: an alternative to traditional bricks that reuses industrial waste and is low-cost and low energy.

Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai assigned the Government Affairs Office and Ministry of Industry and Trade the task to develop a study scheme, and submit it to the Government for issuance of a Strategy for development of renewable energy in Vietnam toward 2030 and vision to 2050.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Construction has listed over 400 works portfolio with approximately 2,500 m² of floor in Hanoi, HCM City, Da Nang and Can Tho for selection of 225 works to be surveyed, and energy audited in detail.

Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is seeking to nearly double the budget for energy-saving measures to be adopted in places such as factories and homes as the country eyes improvements in energy efficiency.

The training course also helps raise the awareness of the participants on cleaner production, provide them the skills for rapid assessment of the utilization of resources such as electricity, coal, oil, and water.

This is the goal that Ba Ria - Vung Tau set to enforce the Law on Economical and Efficient use of Energy. The rational use of electricity and power savings become ever more urgent when this important energy source has signs of outage and deficiency.

Fujitsu Laboratories today announced that it has developed technology that precisely calculates the energy required to execute various software programs running on server CPUs, for energy-efficient programming.

Optimization of the robot's movements reduces acceleration and deceleration, as well as the time the robot is at a standstill since being at a standstill also consumes energy.

When it comes to following basic business principles, the oil and gas industry is no different from any other: reducing energy, increasing operational efficiency and cutting costs are critically important to any successful enterprise.

The project exceeded its goals and the company is moving forward with a field pilot. Upon successful completion of the pilot, CO2 Solutions sees opportunities to implement the technology commercially for carbon capture projects, such as in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).

According to Hanoi Energy Conservation Center (Hanoi ECC), a unit as Savico Megamall Trade Center, thanks to the overall application of economical solutions, can save approximately 524,000 kWh in 2014, equivalent up to VND 1.36 billion.

Currently, Dung Quat Oil Refinery has been in stable and efficient operation at 105-107% of its capacity.

Vinacomin targets its growth rate in total revenues for period 2015-2020 at 6.8%/year; development investment VND 20÷30 trillion/year; value increase at 5%/year; labor productivity increase at 4÷5%/year; income per worker increase at 3.5%/year.

We’ve seen several transparent solar cell concepts, but perhaps none with such ambitious claims as those made by SolarWindow Technologies.

The testing equipment System for energy saving features (energy efficiency) of air conditioning is funded by JICA and installed in the new experiment headquarters of QUATEST 3 at Cat Lai Industrial Zone, Ho Chi Minh City.

The Children Painting Contest on "power savings" theme initiated by Nghe An Power Company in coordination with Vietnam - Germany Children's Cultural House was launched in June 2015 for the preschool age group, primary school and upper primary school students.

A new report out today shows the cable, satellite and telco service providers — companies such as Comcast, Dish Network and AT&T that bring pay TV into our homes — have begun to really focus on the amount of energy consumed by the almost 200 million set-top boxes installed across America.

Fraunhofer researchers have developed a new recycling process for this materially unused carbon resource: They successfully produced fuel and specialty chemicals from these exhaust gases on a laboratory scale.

A team of researchers, including Kyle Brinkman of Clemson University, developed a material that acts as a superhighway for ions. The material could make batteries more powerful, change how gaseous fuel is turned into liquid fuel and help power plants burn coal and natural gas more efficiently.

A new method of converting squalene, which is produced by microalgae, to gasoline or jet fuel, has been developed by the research group of Professor Keiichi Tomishige and Dr. Yoshinao Nakagawa from Tohoku University's Department of Applied Chemistry, and Dr. Hideo Watanabe from the University of Tsukuba.
