Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) has started demonstration tests of a new windshield for containerships, potentially reducing wind resistance, saving fuel and lowering carbon dioxide emissions.

Pursuant to the National Strategy for Green Growth by 2050 approved by the Prime Minister, Vietnam identified three strategic assignments: Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and promotion of clean renewable energy; green production, greening of lifestyles and promotion of sustainable consumption.

The Kashiwa-no-ha Smart City Project aims to greatly reduce CO2 emissions through duplication of energy-transmission lines, the use of un-tapped energy, and more efficient operations.

In the implementation of energy development strategy, Ministry of Industry and Trade presided over the preparation of policies to support the development of renewable energy sources such as wind power, biomass power, electricity generated from solid wastes and solar power.

Nearly 40 % of energy consumption in the EU goes to heating, cooling and lighting buildings. Their energy demands account for large amounts of carbon dioxide emissions.

He aims to have around 800 New Routemasters on London’s streets, which are expected to reduce carbon emissions by more than 27,000 tonnes per year.

With special design, the Green Generation stove not only saves 50% to 60% of fuel compared with the traditional wood stoves but also releases less smoke during cooking, thereby reducing harmful emissions, contributing to health protection and environmentally friendly space.

In Germany and South Africa, researchers and industry are cooperating in a 'solar melting of aluminium in a directly radiated rotary kiln' (SOLAM ) project to develop a method by which aluminium foundries could use solar energy to melt the metal, states the German Aerospace Centre.
