Researchers at Rice University have found a new way to improve a key element of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, which convert heat into electricity via light. Using an unconventional approach inspired by quantum physics, Rice engineer Gururaj Naik and his team designed a thermal emitter that can deliver high efficiencies within practical design parameters.

An optimized model could further reduce the energy needed, decrease pain and tissue damage.

A new analysis from CDP has revealed that almost half of companies globally use no renewable electricity, while more than nine in ten have no energy efficiency targets, thus missing opportunities for cost savings and enhanced resilience.

The paper-based wearable device could offer ongoing, high-efficiency power generation for applications such as sensors, drug delivery, or electrical stimulation.

RMIT University has unveiled an invention that uses waste polystyrene to generate static electricity from motion and wind to recycle waste energy in air conditioners and other applications, potentially lowering power usage.

Energy conservation has become a trending topic all around the world, and Singapore’s industrial sector cannot stay away from this so easily as this nation puts so much weight on sustainability. What has Singapore done to conserve energy? From using less carbon-intensive fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to switching to natural gas to generate electricity, their commitment is quite impressive! However, there are many other initiatives they can easily implement technologically if they want to make it a smart manufacturing grid. What is the energy strategy of Singapore?

Countries across Sub-Saharan Africa are grappling with the challenges of expanding energy access while addressing climate change. As efforts accelerate to expand access to electricity to more people in the region, adopting energy efficiency measures upfront would help avoid locking-in inefficient energy consumption.

According to the plan, Vietnam Electricity will pay for the surplus energy from the local solar power system to the national grid in alignment with the average market electricity price of the previous year.

Rooftop solar now accounts for 11.2% of Australia’s electricity supply, with households and businesses playing a leading role in Australia’s renewable energy transition, according to the Clean Energy Council’s new Rooftop Solar and Storage Report.

The food processing industry is one of the most energy-intensive sectors, consuming vast amounts of electricity and fuel to transform raw ingredients into the products we consume daily. This high energy usage not only contributes to significant operational costs but also results in substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Implementing energy-efficient practices is crucial for reducing both costs and environmental impact. This article explores various strategies to enhance energy efficiency in food processing, ultimately leading to a more sustainable and profitable industry.

Energy costs are a hot topic for fish processing plants, who can potentially spend a lot of electricity to maintain optimal climates at all times. Below, we explain how Dantherm’s ECOline solution is significantly reducing the energy demands of climate control in this industry.

As the world shifts towards sustainable energy solutions, researchers are exploring innovative technologies that can efficiently convert heat into electricity.

The energy price cap, or the amount suppliers are allowed to charge for each unit of gas and electricity, will increase by around 5% from January 2024, the regulator Ofgem has said.

Feeling anxious every time you receive your utilities bill? It may be time to reassess your electricity usage. Here are some energy-saving tips to help you maximise your electricity savings.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory invented a new way to control how electricity moves in and out of a special material used in microelectronics. This technique is called “redox gating.”

MOST (molecular solar thermal energy storage systems) combines a silicon solar cell with an innovative storage system. This cutting-edge breakthrough not only addresses the pressing issues but also paves the way for a new era of sustainable energy storage. It achieves a record energy storage efficiency of 2.3%.

As a relentless heatwave drives electricity demand to record highs, South Korea’s business community has banded together to launch an energy conservation campaign.

About 70% of people in Japan are considering reducing the use of heat pumps in winter against the backdrop of soaring electricity costs, a recent survey by Daikin Industries Ltd., a major air conditioning unit manufacturer, has revealed.

By recovering almost all the energy from the heat, Toshiba Asia Industrial Products Co., Ltd. saves nearly 1 billion VND in electricity costs and reduces nearly 400 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

The Government Energy Management Program (GEMP) is aimed at reducing government-wide electricity and fuel consumption by at least 10% via strategic energy efficiency and conservation measures - and that shall redound to corresponding cost savings.
