This could be a classic win-win solution: A system proposed by researchers recycles materials from discarded car batteries -- a potential source of lead pollution -- into new, long-lasting solar panels that provide emissions-free power.

The UK's Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) expects renewable energy to increase to meet over 37% of the nation's electricity demand by 2022, in its latest annual energy and emissions projections.

Renewable energy becoming more cost-competitive with fossil fuels isn’t news – as technology improves and more clean power generation comes online, electricity without emissions gets cheaper.

Scientists believe it’s still possible to reduce CO2 emissions by a whopping 50% globally by 2050, but only if countries take drastic measures – like the ones taken by France.

Saving 51.49 TOE (tonnes of oil equivalent) of energy or VND781 million per year, reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 185.2 tonnes per year - the Hanoi Daeha Business Center has achieved these impressive energy conservation results thanks to green building development strategies.

Providing auxiliary hydrogen power to docked or anchored ships may soon be added to the list of ways in which hydrogen fuel cells can provide efficient, emissions-free energy.

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.

Energy usage contributes up to 35 per cent of total greenhouse gas emissions in Viet Nam, Dr Nguyen Thi Hien Thuan from the Viet Nam Institute of Meteorology, Hydrology and Environment told an ASEAN+3 workshop in Ha Noi on Tuesday, Nov 27.

A new method for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by power plants could reduce their CO2 emissions by more than 90%, while utilizing less energy and incurring less expense than former approaches.

Experts and representatives from Cambodia, China, Japan, Korea, Lao, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam gathered in Ha Noi today to discuss ways to promote green technology and reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

London of late has been rolling in the electric car news. The goal in that major European city of lowering its carbon emissions from greener vehicles is well under way through efforts like brand new all-electric taxi fleets and increased electric vehicle usage at nearby Heathrow airport. Now comes word of free electric vehicle charging points being offered as part of a trial to better understand the impact of EV use on the electricity network.

GreenRoad app alerting drivers to inefficient manoeuvres targeted at delivery and company car fleets A new smartphone-based tool promises to cut emissions and improve safety by alerting drivers to erratic or inefficient driving.

A man parks his electric powered car at a charging station in Sofia. Bulgaria's car-packed capital has recently set a EU example in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions by installing its first state-of-the-art solar power charger for electric cars, officials said.

With a goal to achieve 40% cut in carbon emissions by 2020, the Malaysian government plans to increase the share of renewable energy in the total energy mix to 5.5% by 2015, according to a statement made by the Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.

Viet Nam has outlined its commitment to reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions with the implementation of the Green Growth strategy, approved by the Prime Minister last week.

The solar energy system will generate around 2,450,000kWh of electricity over the 25-years period. A total income of £1.25m will be generated from the feed-in tariff and save around £250,000 in electricity purchase costs, based on current energy prices. The system will also save 55,000 kg in CO2 emissions each year.

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.

The China State Council has approved (in principle) a 2011-2015 work plan on energy-saving and emissions reduction, and agreed on the plans for energy conservation and major pollutant emission control.

Two Citroen C1 models fitted with the inductive system as well as a standard plug-in charger will form part of the Coventry and Birmingham Low Emission Demonstrators (CABLED) consortium testing programme, which comes under the umbrella of the Technology Strategy Board's £25m Ultra-Low Carbon Vehicle Demonstrator competition.

According to Mr Nguyen Xuan Duong, General Director of Hung Yen Garment Joint Stock Company, in recent years, the company has significantly reduced electricity costs thanks to the use of energy saving lighting system and installation of energy saving devices for the sewing machine motors. Most recently, in 2009, the company invested nearly VND 200 million in installing Sewsaver device for 400W industrial sewing machines. Through one year of operation, 110 thousand kWh has been saved, over 85 tons of CO2 emissions has been reduced.
