Australian researchers have developed solar panels which can be painted or printed directly onto a surface. The project is one of several initiatives which have the potential to revolutionise solar energy by eliminating the need for bulky panels which need to be attached to buildings.

The Verdantix report isn’t the first one to deliver such a finding. Last year Pike Research found that cloud computing could lead to a 38 percent reduction in worldwide data center energy use by 2020, compared to what the growth of data center energy consumption would be without cloud computing.

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.

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.

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

In the category of household lighting, Dien Quang is a leading brand. Dien Quang supplies to the market MaxX super durable compact lamps, 45W, 55W, 85W and 110W energy saving high-capacity compact lamps, 5W - 28W small capacity lamps for household use.

ABB will design and install an advanced, direct current (DC) power distribution system for green.ch, one of the top information and communications technology (ITC) service providers in Switzerland.

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.

U.S. airmen are one step closer to going off the grid. The Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., announced the completion of an on-base solar energy farm June 13 that generates up to 6 megawatts of solar power.

The US Navy requires stainless steel for all its PV projects. The project was awarded to AE by Maui Solar Energy Systems, the solar integrator that will construct the project.

Bic Camera Inc.'s Ikebukuro head office in Toshima Ward reported that sales of air conditioners since April have risen 30 percent over a year ago and those of electric fans posted fourfold to fivefold increases. Highly energy-efficient refrigerators are also in big demand.

Handbook ‘Information on the wind energy sector in Viet Nam’ provides necessary details about the valid legal framework and incentives by Vietnamese Government for investors of wind power in Vietnam. It also gives crucial information about investment procedures and financial options.

The companies say they are supportive of the directive, which “will hopefully constitute an important step towards achieving the EU’s 20% energy savings target by 2020”.

Demand for energy in Vietnam tends to increase faster than the speed of economic development. Therefore, energy efficiency and conservation is very important for the development of the country's economy and businesses. Aware of this, Hanoi Kim Bai beer JSC has implemented energy saving, firstly energy audit, to identify opportunities to reduce energy costs.

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.

Công ty BrightSource Energy tổ chức lễ động thổ dự án điện mặt trời Ivanpah công suất 392 MW, trị giá 1,7 tỉ USD. Theo dự kiến, công trình diện tích 3.500 acre (14 km2) này sẽ nâng sản lượng nhiệt điện mặt trời của Mỹ hiện nay lên gấp đôi.Mỗi nhà máy sẽ gồm một trường các gương phẳng lắp trên các cột riêng rẽ và cố định trực tiếp vào trong đất, thay vì sử dụng phương pháp san đất và đệm bê tông.

Ministers have tried to address public lack of trust in energy companies by offering assurances about the “Green Deal” – a policy designed to improve the energy efficiency of homes. Under this plan, any householder will be able to spend up to £10,000 making their home more energy efficient, funded by the savings from future gas and electricity bills.

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.

A series of new, larger turbines with longer blades have been launched into the market recently as manufacturers strive to deliver the lowest cost of energy with the next generation of designs. London, UK A trend towards larger capacity turbines with longer blades and larger rotor diameters has been long established, with OEMs continuing to offer existing machines with a range of rotor diameters. But now, a new generation of still larger machines has been unveiled.
