Now a team from CEA/Leti-Minatec has created a system that is capable of recovering kinetic energy from the impact of falling raindrops.

The annual Consumer Electronics Show took place earlier this past month to much anticipation. Yet, apart from drones roaming about the displays with GoPros strapped to them, there wasn’t much overt buzz about the energy-saving gadgets. However, if you knew where to look, there were actually lots of innovative products showcasing how you could save you both time and energy around your home. Here are a few that really stood out to us.

A new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) claims that realising the renewable energy plans of the Gulf Cooperation Council region (GCC) will result in 20% less water withdrawals in the power sector.

GE (NYSE: GE) is presenting its advanced energy efficiency innovations that drive the region’s sustainable growth at the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) 2015, the region’s largest gathering on future energy

Việc tìm kiếm nhiên liệu có dấu chân cacbon thấp không dựa vào hóa thạch đã đưa đến một số phương pháp tiếp cận để sử dụng năng lượng mặt trời.

It was a lightbulb moment for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday as he launched a scheme to spread LED bulbs throughout homes in Delhi.

Mới đây, Thủ tướng Ấn Độ - Narendra Modi vừa công bố một chương trình phân phát bóng đèn LEDcho tất cả những hộ dân ở thủ đô New Delhi.

Construction of the world’s largest tidal energy plant looks set to begin next month in Scotland, after the project’s majority owners – the Australian-founded and managed company, Atlantis Resources – got the go-ahead to start drawing on government grant money.

His remarks came at the time when his government is planning to target up to 100,000 MW of solar generation by 2022, far more than an existing 20,000 MW target by 2020.

Every shower, you’ll save enough electricity to power a 60-watt light bulb for eight hours, or a 20-watt LED for 24 hours. Every year, you’ll save the amount of water it takes to wash more than 70 loads of laundry.

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.

With onshore wind costs coming in at about €105 ($133) per MWh, this figure compares favorably to gas (€164/MWh), nuclear (€133) and, most dramatically, coal (€162-233).

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.

Bộ Môi trường Nhật Bản cho biết sẽ triển khai một dự án trong đó, nguồn điện dư thừa được tạo ra từ các nguồn năng lượng tái tạo như mặt trời và gió sẽ được sử dụng để sản xuất hydro cho xe dùng pin nhiên liệu.

The Environment Ministry will begin a model project in which surplus electricity generated from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, will be utilized to produce hydrogen for fuel-cell vehicles.

A desalination technology powered by solar panels could provide enough clean, palatable drinking water to meet the needs of India's water-deficient villages, MIT scientists say.

In the quest for another renewable energy source that can potentially provide a constant source of carbon-free power, researchers at UC Berkeley are working on extracting the energy of ocean waves, and looking to use a hydraulic seafloor 'carpet' to harvest and convert it to usable energy.

Một nhóm các nhà nghiên cứu đến từ trường Đại học Quốc Gia Úc vừa tìm ra cách sản xuất hydro thông qua cơ chế quang hợp nhân tạo.

Ben Franklin said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” Adjusted for inflation we might say that a hundred dollars saved is a hundred dollars earned. Actually it’s more than that; when you earn $100 you pay income tax on it, but when you save $100 you keep the whole Benjamin!

The use of recycling in the manufacturing processes of materials such as iron, steel and aluminium has been “a main driver” of improvements in energy efficiency within the industry.
