The International Energy Agency said the world's clean energy investments are sorely lacking and this week called for an additional $36 trillion of funding by 2050.

Với “Dự án tổng thể năng lượng sạch và chiếu sáng quần đảo Trường Sa và Nhà Dàn DK”, Việt Nam chính thức đoạt giải Năng lượng Toàn cầu (Energy Globe Arwards) 2012.

Morocco's ambitious and expensive plan to draw 40 percent of its energy needs from the limitless power of its blazing sun by 2020 received a publicity boost this week as the first solar powered plane to make an intercontinental flight landed in the North African kingdom.

New York City has big plans to make a name for itself in the sustainable energy sector: It wants to become a solar energy hub and export the solar market analysis tools it is developing throughout the world.

Engineers at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland are aiming to boost the future of renewable energy by collecting solar power in space

Britain announced plans Tuesday to finance a new generation of nuclear power plants and renewable energy facilities, in a move that illustrates the differences in energy policies among European

The university researchers have already tested equipment in space that would provide a platform for solar panels to collect energy and allow it to be transferred back to Earth through microwaves or lasers.

The average U.S. citizen is willing to pay 13 percent more for electricity in support of a national clean-energy standard (NCES), according to Yale and Harvard researchers in Nature Climate Change.

"We have just prepared a proposal for 10,000 solar based water systems which supply drinking water to communities in rural areas," Rural development minister Jairam Ramesh said while addressing a conference here.

Scientists from the University of Southern California have been working on a way to make solar energy more efficient, affordable, and convenient. As with other forms of alternative energy, solar energy is often criticized as having numerous flaws. Researchers from USC believe that some of the problems that are inherent in solar energy systems can be remedied through the development of new solar cells.

On May 3rd, 2012, representatives of leading international companies in the solar photovoltaic industry announced the founding of the Global Solar Council, a CEO‐level industry coalition whose aim is to expand the global deployment of solar energy in a sustainable and cost‐competitive way.

Grasslands around airports can be used as solar panel fields or sources of grass-based biofuels, according to a new USDA report.

Honda has unveiled a demonstration house in Saitama, Japan, to showcase and test its new Honda Smart Home System (HSHS).

Researchers are developing a technique that uses nanotechnology to harvest energy from hot pipes or engine components to potentially recover energy wasted in factories, power plants and cars.

This rather novel solar collector draws inspiration from the lotus flower to provide small-scale solar energy - both electric and thermal - to domestic and small business users.

Butterfly wings are not just beautiful. They are also sophisticated collectors of solar energy that help butterflies stay warm, and researchers say that their shinglelike structure could provide valuable clues into developing better solar technology.

The report also comes just days after two new reports from analyst firms Bloomberg New Energy Finance and Clean Energy Pipeline both calculated that clean energy investment reached its lowest level in several years during the first quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of policy uncertainty in the EU and US.
