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

The new iPower consortium comprising 32 partners has been officially opened on 22 August 2011 to begin the huge task of opening the door for incorporating more renewable energies into the upcoming power grids.

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.

This evolution is on display at the American Wind Power Center in Lubbock, which bills itself as the world’s largest windmill museum.

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.”

MANAGERS and supervisors from 50 industrial and service companies in Cebu attended the two-day national training workshop on energy efficiency and conservation at the Crown Regency Mactan.

Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest have thrown their weight behind the turbines which will be a welcomed announcement for farmers who want to use reneawble energy on-farm but don’t have the capital to invest.

Google have amazing ratings for employee satisfaction, serve 100 percent local food in its massive cafeteria, and power its "Googleplex" with over 9,000 solar panels situated atop its four main buildings, but now Google plans to help homeowners get solar panels to power their own homes as well.

EVNSPC has directed Power Companies to coordinate with the localities to propagate the Law on Energy Efficiency and Conservation; strictly implement requirements, directives, resolutions and instructions of the Government, Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Electricity of Vietnam on saving power.

"The fish aim to align themselves to optimise their forward propulsion," he writes, and this can be adapted in a turbine array to maximise energy extraction.

The Army is seeking to install more large-scale renewable energy installations, such as this solar system at Nellis Air Force base in Nevada.

The billboard will be disconnected from the grid to prove the energy used comes entirely from the onsite renewable technologies. The solar panels and turbines are expected to generate 12.6kw a day to light up the red lettering from first light or first wind until about three o'clock the following morning.

Speaking at the Scottish Renewables onshore wind conference in Glasgow, energy minister Fergus Ewing said that the new standardised approach to measuring the carbon footprint of wind farms would help streamline planning processes and maximise emissions savings.

Electricity saving for the interests of the nation and people has been ingrained into the actions of every citizen. By practical deeds, specific measures, many localities have effectively implemented the work of saving power.

The U.S. Solar Market Insight: Q1 2011 from the Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research shows that the solar industry continues to be one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy. Grid-connected photovoltaics grew 66% over the first quarter of 2010, with a cumulative grid-connected solar electric installations have reached more than 2.85 gigawatts (GW), enough to power nearly 600,000 US homes.

Researchers from the Universities of East Anglia, York, Nottingham and Manchester are using nanotechnology 100,000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair to try and solve the world’s looming energy crisis.

Adobe Systems Inc. procured about 75 percent or 54 GWh of renewable energy-based electricity in 2010. Deutsche Bank and News Corp. procured 67 percent and 65 percent, respectively, of their electricity consumption from renewable energy sources while Starbucks and Nokia met 58 percent and 46 percent, respectively, of their energy consumption from renewable energy-based electricity.

Mr Matthew Warren, the Chief Executive of the Clean Energy Council, which represents more than 300 solar companies and is responsible for the accreditation of solar installers, said solar systems were safe and the risk to solar households was very low.
