Solar energy solutions are paramount these days and yet solar technology used in homes is in its infancy and ungainly. Most conventional silicon cell photovoltaic solar panels are eyesores.However, there may soon be a less obtrusive, colorful and flexible alternative: the dye-sensitized solar cell or DSC panel.

Southeastern Ontario has the potential to produce almost as much power as all the nuclear reactors in the United States! Queen’s mechanical engineering professor Joshua Pearce is the first person to find out the astounding possibilities of the region’s solar energy potential. He says, “The number is enormous. Solar can no longer be laughed off as something that can only power your cottage.” comes out with two studies that claim solar power in southeastern.

Bill Weihl, Google's green energy czar, said Thursday that's not the case. "We don't want to become an energy trader, or God forbid the next Enron," he said, when asked about the plans at the GreenNet conference in San Francisco. "What we want is the flexibility to manage our power contracts, and in particular be able to sign contracts that are useful to developers and that get more renewables on the grid."

The tower itself is 115 meters high -- the height of a 14-storey building -- and, bathed in intense white light, the overall effect resembles nothing so much as a religious object. Valerio Fernandez is director of operations for the PS10 platform and its neighbor, PS20.

Tọa lạc tại vùng Andalusia, Tây Ban Nha, tòa tháp thương mại điện mặt trời đầu tiên của thế giới xuất hiện trên đường chân trời như một chiếc cột khổng lồ. Vào những buổi sáng nhiều mây, mặt trời vẫn chiếu sáng hơi nước và bụi trong không khí tạo nên những chùm tia màu trắng xung quanh tòa tháp cao 115 m, tương đương với một ngôi nhà 14 tầng.

Các nhà khoa học Australia vừa phát minh ra một loại chất tẩy rửa dùng ít nước hơn so với bột giặt thông thường. Bí quyết là ở chỗ khi cho nước để giũ quần áo, các bọt của nó sẽ tan hết ngay.

Sam Sung công bố kế hoạch đầu tư hơn 20,6 tỉ đôla để phát triển công nghệ sạch trong 10 năm tới. Trong đó trọng tâm đầu tư sẽ là pin năng lượng mặt trời công nghệ silicon màng mỏng; Sản xuất pin cho các dòng xe hybrid; Công nghệ đèn led và đầu tư cho y tế,dược phẩm, sinh học, thiết bị y tế công nghệ cao...

Leaders of the two companies were very pleased as experts of the Energy Efficiency Center of Hanoi and Ninh Binh Department of Industry and Trade’s Energy Management Office have helped them discover the energy saving potential. Thereby, the two companies will gradually apply the proposed solutions to redress the wasted energy.

Apollo Solar Energy, Inc. (Apollo Solar), a refiner and producer of high purity tellurium (Te) and tellurium-based metals for the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry and specific segments of the electronic materials market worldwide, in the People's Republic of China, today announced that the Company has signed an agreement with the Ningguo Municipal Government to build a 2MW demo solar power station in Ningguo City

To learn energy situation at the whole group and find opportunities to save energy cost, Vinacomin conducted energy audits at its 32 affiliates, including 12 coal-pit and 5 open-cast extraction businesses, 2 sieving units, 6 mechanical engineering units and 2 transport enterprises. The survey results showed that coal-pit extraction facilities could save between six to 14.7 percent of total power consumption, averaging 10.7 percent. If energy efficient measures were taken, these coal-pit extraction units could save nearly 30 million KWh (equal to 3,000 tonnes of oil equivalent) or more than VND25 billion each year.

There are two large industrial factories in the Nam Dong Ha Industrial Zone. These are Geruco Quang Tri MDF Wood Factory and the Hoa Tho – Dong Ha Garment Company. Geruco Quang Tri pays VND1.2-1.5 billion for power monthly consuming one-third of power supply in the city of Dong Ha. With that in mind, the company’s leaders are very concerned about energy efficiency.

In April 2010, Hai Phong is distributed only 7.75 million kWh per day, while it will consume between 9-10 million kWh per day to meet all its demands. Unlike many provinces and cities which often have power cut in the hot dry season, Hai Phong is still light. Most people in the city don’t have to face power outage. This was because Hai Phong Electricity has creatively issued "quotas" for electricity.

Với một chai nước uống và 4 giờ hấp thụ ánh nắng mặt trời, chuyên gia hóa học Dan Nocera thuộc Viện Công nghệ Massachusetts (Mỹ) khẳng định ông có thể sản xuất 30 kWh điện, đủ cung cấp cho một gia đình tại quốc gia đang phát triển. Với khoảng 3 gallon nước sông (khoảng 0,01 mét khối), ông có thể đáp ứng nhu cầu năng lượng của một ngôi nhà lớn tại Mỹ.Cơ sở cho những tuyên bố này là một chất xúc tác mới, rẻ tiền sử dụng điện mặt trời để tách nước và tạo ra hydrogen.

After about eight weeks, workers will flush the system clean and start over with a new batch, he said. Carbon dioxide is trucked in for now, but the longer-term strategy is to locate the operation near a power plant that runs on coal or natural gas and captures its carbon dioxide. If a national cap on emissions is enacted, a power plant might be willing to pay a fuel plant to take its carbon dioxide gas. Another potential source is a conventional corn ethanol plant, which produces a pure stream of carbon dioxide.

But it's also one of the dirtiest with the world's 2,300 coal-fired power stations contributing around 40 percent of all man-made emissions, according to the World Coal Institute. Their continued use enrages many environmentalists who argue that we should be phasing coal out. But the coal industry is pinning its hopes on the rather oxymoronic-sounding "clean coal," which has become the umbrella term for a range of new technologies that share the aim of cleaning up coal in the 21st century. Earth's Frontiers takes a look at the options:

“This decade is crucial for effective policies to enable the development of solar electricity,” IEA Executive Director Nobuo Tanaka said. “Long-term oriented, predictable solar-specific incentives are needed to sustain early deployment and bring both technologies to competitiveness in the most suitable locations and times.”

You plug the appliances into the sensors, and the sensors into your home’s wall sockets. The sensors then relay each appliance’s electricity consumption to an Internet-connected router, via Zigbee, the RF standard crafted for appliances and other devices around the home. You can then view a graphical and numerical chart that shows how much that Vornado air purifier is costing.

Nhằm khẳng định chính sách phát triển bền vững, thành phố Toulouse (Pháp) vừa đưa vào thử nghiệm một vỉa hè đặc biệt, có thể sản xuất ra điện khi khách bộ hành đi lại bên trên. Vỉa hè này có những tấm đá lót đường được trang bị máy thu siêu nhỏ để thu nhận năng lượng từ những người đi bộ, sau đó dự trữ vào hệ thống pin dưới dạng động năng.

The heat of more than 38oC results in a sudden rise in electricity demand, and overloaded system. HCMC Power Company has been forced to implement an emergency power saving plan, part of which is to offer VND200,000 as reward for any households saving electricity by 6% in May and June.

With the success of those two projects, we have designed and manufactured the modular exhaust-heat-utilizing boiler with design pressure of 10kG/m2, working pressure of 6kG/m2, heat transfer surface area of the boiler 13,2 m2, the area of water heater 6,33 m2. All the designs have been registered at Vietnam Register.
