Santa Barbara’s Solar3D Inc. announced that it’s completed the design and is on track to complete a prototype of a “super-efficient” 3-D solar cell by the end of 2011. Holding out the promise of substantially increasing solar cell conversion efficiencies, the company believes its 3-D solar cell design “will dramatically change the economics of solar energy.”

As these economies were already being forced to cut back radically on clean energy funding before the current downturn, it is hard to see how they could do anything but cut back their clean energy investment even further. This could mean some schemes already under way are scrapped and others in the pipeline never leaving the drawing board.

Costs of manufacture of batteries and power trains of electric vehicles can be halved by 2018, if the gaps in the innovation chain can be closed. For reaching this objective, KIT scientists develop concrete, close-to-industry solutions for energy stores and power trains and combine them on the system level.

With support from the National Program on Energy Efficiency and Conservation and the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT), Viettronics Thuduc Limited Company (VTD), member unit of Vietnam Electronics and Informatics Corporation (VEIC), has developed and put into trial operation the first high-tech LED producing facility in Vietnam in Saigon hi-tech park.

Ngày 16/9 ECC HCMC đã phối hợp với Trung tâm Tư vấn Công nghiệp Đồng Nai tổ chức Hội nghị “Hỗ trợ triển khai, thực hiện sử dụng năng lượng tiết kiệm và hiệu quả” trên địa bàn tỉnh.

During the dry season, to help power sector reduce power consumption during peak hours, some oil-powered generators have been used, especially during peak hours, to reduce the time of using the national grid. Specifically, 65% of devices have been separated from the grid and powered by generators.

Also, during the operation of energy using equipment in the building, the building management board always upholds the management, operation and maintenance of equipment to ensure that power consuming systems always operate in the best conditions.

Hydrogen makes a great fuel because of it can easily be converted to electricity in a fuel cell and because it is carbon free. The downside of hydrogen is that, because it is a gas, it can only be stored in high pressure or cryogenic tanks.

Theo tính toán, riêng tại Mỹ, thị trường tiềm năng của vật liệu “thuỷ tinh điện” (electroglass) này sẽ là 85 triệu ngôi nhà ở và nhà công cộng.

Cây cọ đường hoàn toàn vượt xa cây mía đường của Brazil, với sản lượng ethanol thu được từ loại cây này là 4,5 tấn ethanol (1.500 gallon/ 5.700 lít)/ hecta

With an output of about 100 million tons of cement in 2015, the total power consumption of this sector is predicted to be about 9 billion kWh of electricity, while the average saving rate is just approximately 30%.

With the measures mentioned above, the company's initial investment was VND 350 million. From 2008 to now, Vinh Phu Shoes JSC has reduced electricity consumption by 40,000Kwh each year.

Scientists from China developed a fuel cell system that can both generate electricity from organic compounds and clean up wastewater.

Ban categorized three areas of energy in which significant inroads need to be made. The first is access to our modern services. Another is to double the world’s energy efficiency.

Ford’s U.K. Dagenham Diesel Engine Assembly Line will soon be fully powered again by wind. The addition of a new production line at the plant is spurring the construction of a third turbine in order to keep the plant at 100-percent powered by wind-generated electricity.

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry released a draft proposal outlining plans to require automakers to improve the average efficiency of their fleets to 20.3km/litre in 2020, a gain of 24.1 per cent compared to the 16.3km/litre recorded in 2009.

Các nhà nghiên cứu của Công ty cơ sở hạ tầng truyền thông Nhật Bản Nihon Dengyo Kosaku (DENGYO) đã phát triển một thiết bị mà họ gọi là rectenna có thể chuyển đổi các sóng vô tuyến trong không khí thành điện năng.

Glassmaking in America has been in decline for at least a decade as manufacturers have moved production to China and other emerging economies. But can the green-buildings movement spark a revival?

A newly developed battery system stores energy captured from turbines so that demand for electricity can be met during peak periods.

Tokyo City proper has again decided to incorporate recent energy-saving and renewable-energy technology, calling it’s latest report “Tokyo Specifications for Reduced and Renewable Energy.”
