Global survey reveals public trust in the UK energy industry is continuing to plumb the depths, but could popular renewables help deliver a step-change?

For isobutanol to become practical, however, scientists need a way to reliably produce huge quantities of it from renewable sources.

Researchers from the Vienna University of Technology, together with colleagues from the U.S.

Host of green companies join largest ever overseas business delegation with prime minister

Eco-friendly refrigerators, dishwashers, and laundry machines don't just save you money – they're also better for the environment.

A glut of photovoltaic solar panels has swamped the market due to increased production but less demand, causing some companies to go bankrupt and a general malaise for the whole industry.

But $7bn raised in final quarter of last year fuelling hopes for a better performance in 2013.

Retailer becomes the first supermarket to deploy GE’s new LED lighting system, promising energy savings of 59 per cent.

Project to generate hydrogen by replicating photosynthesis holds out promise of highly efficient green fuel UK scientists are hoping to harness the process plants use to turn sunlight into energy to produce a new highly efficient and renewable source of zero-carbon fuel.

Officials in Japan have announced plans for building the largest wind farm in the world, ten miles off the coast of Fukushima

A researcher at the Universidad politécnica de Madrid (UPM, Spain) has patented a nuclear fusion reactor by inertial confinement that, apart from be used to generate electric power in plants, can be applied to propel ships.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) on Sunday launched the world's first atlas on clean energy which will offer open-access information on countries' renewable energy potential.

Programme aims to leverage up to €100m of private funds for innovative clean energy technologies.

Until recently LED light bulb manufacturers have struggled to find a solution in the 75 to 100-watt range which successfully replaces the soon-to-be redundant, energy crunching 100 W incandescent bulb in terms of size and brightness.

Renewable energy solutions like wind and solar operate on nature's timetable. When the sun blazes or when the breeze blows, power is plentiful -- but not necessarily at the moments when consumers need it, like on a hot, calm summer night.

The sun ejects a continuous flow of electrically charged particles and magnetic fields in the form of the solar wind -- and this wind is hotter than it should be. A new study of data obtained by European Space Agency's Cluster spacecraft may help explain the mystery.

Apple Inc, the well-known manufacturer of phones, desktop, laptop, and tablet computers, has reportedly designed a unique enery storage system for wind energy.

To combat this problem, a team of Penn State researchers is developing more cost-effective ways to prolong battery life.

General Electric Global Research has put together a team of researchers who have accomplished a milestone in the reduction of the price of zero emission buses, by using GE’s new Durathon battery together with a hydrogen fuel cell and a lithium battery.
