Amazon has been under pressure for a while to get its act together when it comes to renewable energy (just last week we wrote about how shopping on Amazon is powered by coal).

With the number of Internet connected devices rapidly increasing, researchers from Melbourne are starting a new research program to reduce energy consumption of such devices.

According to Lisa Rathke of the Associated Press, energy-saving program Efficiency Vermont has helped ski resorts all over the state make huge strides, with 2,300 new energy-efficient snowmaking guns replacing older wasteful ones.

A mirror that sends heat into the frigid expanse of space has been designed by scientists to replace air-conditioning units that keep buildings cool on Earth.

According to the EPA, using recycled aluminum only uses 5% of the energy and emissions that are needed to extract new aluminum.

Công ty Sunfire GmbH của Đức có trụ sở tại Dresden cho biết họ đã phát triển một thiết bị có khả năng tổng hợp nước và CO2 thành các nhiên liệu gốc dầu.

First, British household budgets would benefit from a £5bn saving every year. This means an average annual saving of around £335 for British families.

This researcher has developed a reactor based on conical spouted beds which, by means of flash or rapid pyrolysis, produces fuels and raw materials using various types of waste.

Keep electric storage heaters on all the time. Our research also found that few people with electric storage heaters fully understand how they work (only 38%). This means that households with electric heating could be paying through the nose by not taking advantage of cheaper night rate electricity.

Big Energy Saving Week – a joint campaign between Citizens Advice, Energy Saving Trust, and the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) – reveals 74 per cent of Brits are still worried about their energy bills.

John Colucci, vice president of sales and marketing at Westchester Modular Homes, says the up-charge is minimal. He claims that a modular home may cost 3 to 5 percent more for a house that is 50 to 60 percent more efficient than the typical home.

Researchers have developed a solar cell that is able to directly split water. It does not produce electricity in a first step and split the water in a second step, but rather only has one step.

Solid-state lighting technologies, which include both LED and organic light emitting diode technologies, have the potential to save Americans $26 billion a year in energy costs by 2030.

The sea has long been a source of Norway's riches, whether from cod, farmed salmon or oil. Now one researcher from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) researcher hopes to add seaweed to this list as he refines a way to produce "biocrude" from common kelp.

The device consists of the mesh solar panel, which acts as the first electrode, beneath that is a thin sheet of porous carbon that is the second electrode and a lithium plate that is the third electrode. Between the electrodes are sandwiched layers of electrolyte for carrying electrons back and forth.

The new energy efficiency standard’s positive environmental impact includes 3.63 quadrillion BTU’s of energy saved during the above mentioned period, that translates in avoiding 265 million metric tons of CO2 emissions equivalent to the annual emissions of about 52 million automobiles.

Indian wind energy companies are looking to invest in offshore wind energy projects as the government plans to significantly increase the annual capacity added in the wind energy sector as a whole.

Nine out of 10 Australians have considered, or would consider, switching to solar energy as a way to cut their power bills, a new survey has found.

Washington State University researchers have developed a new catalyst that could lead to making biofuels cheaply and more efficiently.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has launched a new initiative to accelerate the transition to more efficient appliances and equipment to reduce global energy demand, mitigate climate change and improve access to energy.
