“This increase in module efficiency, coupled with our thin-film technology’s real-world yield advantage when compared to crystalline silicon PV, results in higher energy density and lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE).”

On 24th November 2012, HCM City Energy Conservation Center (ECC HCM) held a seminar on Green Architecture to share useful information about green buildings and to discuss measures to promote the construction of green projects in Vietnam in the office of HCM Department of Science and Technology.

The Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) hosted a seminar in Hanoi on December 5 to review infrastructure for the development of nuclear power in Vietnam.

Rice University scientists have unveiled a revolutionary new technology that uses nanoparticles to convert solar energy directly into steam.

In three studies published in the current issue of Technology and Innovation – Proceedings of the National Academy of Inventors, innovators unveil creative technologies that could change our sources of energy, change our use of energy, and change our lives.

As many industries and businesses have not recognized that energy labeling is a competitive advantage, they have not been determined to renovate technology, nor to improve product quality. They fear that the investment will increase production costs.

To celebrate World Toilet Day on November 19, researchers at Columbia University's Engineering School, working in Ghana with Waste Enterprisers Ltd., the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), and the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, are launching a pilot facility to convert fecal sludge into biodiesel fuel, thereby addressing a ubiquitous societal problem and concurrently producing renewable, cost-effective sustainable energy.

Wetlands are estimated to account for around six percent of the earth’s surface and a new Plant-Microbial Fuel Cell technology developed at Wageningen University & Research in The Netherlands could see some of these areas become a viable source of renewable energy.

Ontario, Canada has carved out a niche for itself as a hub of green technology. One of the latest clean tech innovations to come out of that province is DARWIND5, a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT).

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.

A revolutionary new way to create steam simply by using sunlight, has been discovered by researchers. The method is able to bring an entire container of fluid to boiling point, even a container of icy cold water.

They can help us pass the time, socialise and yes, even work, but can smartphones also help us save the planet? A paper recently published in the International Journal of Sustainable Energy suggests they can.

The 3DEXPERIENCE Company under Dassault Systemes got together with UBIFRANCE Vietnam to hold a workshop on November 14 in Hanoi under the theme, "Renewing Energy Technology: Solution Software, Process and Experiences".

Vietnam will rely on the latest advances in technology to ensure that its first nuclear power plant meets the highest possible safety standards, said deputy minister of Science and Technology Le Dinh Tien at a conference to improve communication about nuclear power on Aug. 2.

Long gone are the days where the only place LEDs were useful was the backlighting of a $10 wristwatch. LED technology has come a long way in the past 5 years from being an extremely niche technology to becoming a well-established force in the mainstream lighting market.

Austrian manufacturer MagnaSteyr has adapted technology developed for the Ariane rocket to build clean-burning cars that can use hydrogen instead of petrol for fuel.

Research shows newly developed solar powered cells may soon outperform conventional photovoltaic technology. Scientists from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have demonstrated the first solar cell with external quantum efficiency (EQE) exceeding 100 percent for photons with energies in the solar range. (The EQE is the percentage of photons that get converted into electrons within the device.)

A variety of Japanese businesses participated in a seminar on October 26 to discuss new financial mechanisms for applying energy saving technology to buildings and hotels.

To raise the awareness and apply advanced technology to harness renewable energy sources and use them in large scale, Hanoi city has issued renewable energy development program period 2012 - 2015.

To implement promote agricultural development via the application of high technology innovations, many private companies, state businesses as well as foreign companies in recent years have invested in plant multiplication and growth in agricultural production using lighting technology.
