German Chancellor Angela Merkel is anything but a left-wing greenie. The party she leads, the Christian Democratic Union, is the political equivalent of the Republicans in the U.S. Her coalition government is decidedly pro-business. Often described as Europe's most powerful politician, Merkel's top priority is job creation and economic growth.

The U.S. Postal Service – Office of Inspector General is to merge four of its data centres this month to save operating costs while increasing capacity and energy efficiency. The U.S. Postal Service – Office of Inspector General (USPS OIG) will house its consolidated data centres in one new state-of-the-art facility.

The report, Why a Green Economy Matters for the Least Developed Countries, was jointly issued by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the UN Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS)

In a sunny corner of Italy that produces roses and olive oil, an American startup will get to demonstrate its technology to harvest both electricity and heat. Solergy, which is in the process of raising a B round of funding, plans to install a hybrid solar electric and thermal system on top of a greenhouse for the farm Azienda Agricola Ciccolella in the Puglia region, and intends to team up with Ciccolella to market Solergy’s systems to growers in the area, said Yoav Banin, Solergy’s CEO.

Leaked Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report predicts a 100 exajoule increase in renewable energy capacity. The United Nations is set to forecast substantial increases in the deployment of renewable energy through to 2050 as clean technologies such as wind and solar power improve and costs fall.

The Uboat concept design by Wyatt Little of Houston, Texas, tackles all the major issues associated with green living on a boat. Electricity for the Uboat is provided courtesy of 3 Schüco 180 Watt, 16 Volt solar panels, mounted to a green roof (which we assume can also grow herbs and veggies for human consumption).

According to Mr Nguyen Xuan Duong, General Director of Hung Yen Garment Joint Stock Company, in recent years, the company has significantly reduced electricity costs thanks to the use of energy saving lighting system and installation of energy saving devices for the sewing machine motors. Most recently, in 2009, the company invested nearly VND 200 million in installing Sewsaver device for 400W industrial sewing machines. Through one year of operation, 110 thousand kWh has been saved, over 85 tons of CO2 emissions has been reduced.

Over the past ten years, Asia has suffered from an investment gap and a lack of confidence in clean energy private equity, according to the Asian Development Bank (ADB. Johanna Klein, investment officer at the capital markets and financial sectors division at ADB, said its role has been to identify these funding constraints and address them with their own and private sector funding.

Key findings from an upcoming climate change report released by the United Nations are expected to show that cost reductions in the renewable energy sector are likely to continue through to 2050, boosting their deployment.

During the workshop, Da Nang Department of Science and Technology focused on disseminating Law on Energy Efficiency and informing about the projects and programs of energy saving which were being implemented. The Department also introduced project "Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Applications in ​​Da Nang City in the Period from 2011 to 2015".

Sáng 14 tháng 5 năm 2011, Trung tâm Tiết kiệm năng lượng TP. HCM (ECC-HCMC) đã phối hợp cùng Trung tâm học tập cộng đồng phường Nguyễn Cư Trinh (Quận 1) mở lớp tập huấn về “Sử dụng an toàn và tiết kiệm các thiết bị điện trong gia đình” tại trường tiểu học Trần Hưng Đạo, số 81 Trần Đình Xu.

The discovery is an important development in the worldwide effort to mimic the way plants make fuel from sunlight, a key step in creating a green energy economy. It was reported last week in Nature Materials by theorist Jens Norskov of the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University and a team of colleagues led by Ib Chorkendorff and Soren Dahl at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

Hydro là một loại nhiên liệu sạch mà hiện nay hầu hết được sản xuất từ khí thiên nhiên, do đó sinh ra rất nhiều CO2. Một phương pháp mới, sạch hơn là sản xuất nhiên liệu hydro từ ánh sáng mặt trời và nước. Quá trình này gọi là quang-điện hóa, hay PEC, để phân tách phân tử nước. Khi ánh sáng mặt trời tác động vào các tấm pin PEC, năng lượng mặt trời được hấp thụ và sử dụng để phân tách phân tử nước thành là hydro và oxy.

Implementing the first phase of the National program on energy efficiency and conservation, 2006-2010 period, the Ministry of Transport, through measures of propagation, mobilization, popularizing skills to control energy saving vehicles, has made the initial perception of officials and employees about energy-saving awareness in production, management, activities and created habits of energy saving in community.

Theo kịch bản lạc quan nhất, năng lượng tái tạo có thể sẽ cung cấp 80% tiêu thụ năng lượng trên thế giới vào năm 2050, cũng được xác định là những giải pháp để chống lại biến đổi khí hậu. Giáo sư Ottmar Edenhofer, đồng Chủ tịch các nhóm công tác của Giec, nhấn mạnh mọi quan điểm được đưa ra để giảm lượng khí thải cho thấy năng lượng tái tạo sẽ đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong việc giảm thiểu ô nhiễm môi trường.

The Eco Fire Pot Stove is an innovation that uses biodiesel, which allows women in developing countries to cook using a comparatively much cleaner cooking gas fuel than the toxic fuel-producing substances like wood, kerosene and coal. The stove is cheaper in price for this is now made of sheet metal but is also possible to make the stove from scrap metal, clay and bricks, which means the cost spent will be more only for the burner.

The Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) is all set to establish first on-grid solar electricity generation system in the country during the current year to overcome energy crisis.“This solar system and smart grid is becoming a reality in less than a year,” said PEC Chairperson Senator Rukhsana Zuberi, addressing a press conference Saturday.
