Genesis Energy announced its last two coal-burning electricity generators at Huntly Power Station will be permanently withdrawn from the market by December 2018, signalling the end of large scale coal-fired generation in New Zealand.

The metal components that make up industrial machines are subject to tremendous wear and tear. But a newly patented technology by Distinguished Fellow Ali Erdemir and his team at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory could greatly extend the lifetime of mechanical parts.

Japanese trading house Mitsui & Co. will partner with General Electric to develop an online monitoring system that analyzes data transmitted from mining equipment to realize maximum operational efficiency.

The Kashiwa-no-ha Smart City Project aims to greatly reduce CO2 emissions through duplication of energy-transmission lines, the use of un-tapped energy, and more efficient operations.

Waste heat accounts for a painful 60% of the gasoline consumed by our cars, and in other Industrial applications the numbers are equally devastating.

After years of research by Intel and Micron Technology, the first new memory technology in 25 years has been announced. Called 3D XPoint it combines the best of DRAM and NAND (Flash) and promises to change computer designs.

The project is part of the local authority’s commitment to Bristol 2015 European Green Capital. The city has also installed a sculpture of two life size whales made from recycled bottles, marking the city’s green status.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is investing $63 million (£41) in 264 energy efficiency and renewable projects across the country.

London Mayor Boris Johnson has launched a tool for public sector organisations to make homes more energy efficient.

The Business Energy Challenge (BEC) awards celebrate private sector firms who have made the biggest difference to their energy consumption by switching to cleaner and more energy efficient technologies.

The scheme allowed householders to make their homes more energy efficient by installing technologies such as solar panels or loft insulation. This was done through loans with no upfront cost which were repaid through energy bills.

A London school is expected to save nearly £5,000 a year on energy costs as a result of installing energy efficient measures.

It is the saved power output of the Hanoi Electricity Corporation (EVNHANOI) in July. Accumulated figure for the first 7 months of the year shows that the Corporation achieves 177.35 million kWh savings, equivalent to 2.22% commercial power output.

At the workshop, large energy consumers and experts in the field of power saving shared experience and new technology solutions to reduce the energy consumption rate, energy audits and improvement of the production system, and power consuming devices.

That is one of the objectives of the Economical and efficient use of energy Program of Bac Giang province for the phase 2016 - 2020 .

The Launching Ceremony is a practical activity aiming at implementing the National Target Program on Economical and Efficient Use of Energy as it has been widely deployed in the province.

As one of the pillars of national power energy security, in 2011-2015, Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) not only ensures enough electricity for the economy but also stays in the lead in the implementation of solutions and promotions of economical and efficient use energy.

Currently, electricity consumption for lighting in Vietnam accounts for 35% of total power consumption of the country. The public lighting system is energy-consuming sector due to the design, installation and use of inefficient lighting.

In the implementation of energy development strategy, Ministry of Industry and Trade presided over the preparation of policies to support the development of renewable energy sources such as wind power, biomass power, electricity generated from solid wastes and solar power.

Not simply to raise awareness, it is to change behavior. After 3 years of operation, the project GetGreen Vietnam has been completed with its targets: to get 1,099 "Seeds of Change" persons trained, a contribution into spreading the habit "green consumption", "green living" in the community.
