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.

Ford’s U.K. Dagenham Diesel Engine Assembly Line will soon be fully powered again by wind. The addition of a new production line at the plant is spurring the construction of a third turbine in order to keep the plant at 100-percent powered by wind-generated electricity.

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.”

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.

Dutch study finds birds avoid offshore wind turbines, while marine life finds shelter and new habitats. It is the evidence proponents of offshore wind farms have been waiting for: a Dutch study has found that offshore wind turbines have "hardly any negative effects" on wildlife, and may even benefit animals living beneath the waves.

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.

Cùng với hợp đồng xây dựng cánh đồng phong năng ở khắp Ireland trị giá 1.5 tỉ euro kí kết với hãng phát triển cánh đồng phong năng Mainstream Renewable Power trong 5 năm tới, nhà sản xuất tuabin lớn nhất Trung Quốc Sinovel Wind Group vừa có một bước tiến lớn vào thị trường châu Âu vốn đang bị thống trị bởi các nhà sản xuất nội địa.

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.

Despite widespread rumors in North America that Germany was abandoning its system of Advanced Renewable Tariffs, the country's upper chamber of parliament, the Bundesrat, approved the latest revision of its pioneering Renewable Energy Sources Act on July 8.

Leading television company Sky opened the doors to its new, state-of-the-art production facility in London earlier this week, which is being hailed as the most sustainable broadcasting facility in Europe.

The test cell exceeds the previous record of 16.7 percent for a solar cell made of cadmium-telluride set by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in 2001.

Bất chấp những tin đồn đang lan rộng ở Bắc Mỹ là Đức đang dỡ bỏ hệ thống giá điện năng lượng tái tạo tiên tiến (Advanced Renewable Tariffs), ngày 8/7, Thượng viện liên bang Đức đã thông qua bản sửa đổi mới nhất Luật các nguồn năng lượng tái tạo.

In order to provide Vietnam with new technology solutions that save energy and protect the environment, Hanoi Foreign Affairs Service Center (HAFACEN) has announced the launch of Blue Water Power (BWP) water battery technology of Mishima Company from Japan

Some eco labels have been useful marketing tools, such as for organic food, but will they work for clean power? The wind energy industry thinks so and proposed a program Wednesday to encourage companies to invest in wind and display their eco-friendly cred.

As of 2010, 57% of electricity in Latin America and the Caribbean stems from hydro sources while another 40% comes from thermoelectric power plants using fossil fuels and natural gas. Of the remainder, 2% comes from nuclear stations and 1% from wind, solar and geothermal plants.

Wadebridge in Cornwall has moved another step towards becoming the first solar powered town in the UK, as PV installations begin to go up across the municipality. The area aims to generate at least a third of its electricity from solar and wind power by 2015, which is the equivalent of 15,000MWh a year. By generating renewable energy at this level, Wadebridge will be able to benefit significantly from the UK’s feed-in tariff, enabling significant cash contributions for local community projects.

According to the DOE’s statement, the $25 million it is providing will need to be matched by the winning universities, national labs, private companies or others who apply and are accepted for the program. Initially, the grant recipients are meant to focus on three specific areas, including building energy efficiency, second-generation biofuels and solar energy.
