The deployment of ISO 50001 standards helps provide a comprehensive and systematic approach and system to improve energy efficiency, helping reduce costs, increase profits and promote social responsibility through the supply chain.

The world's largest cable and telecoms company, Liberty Global, has announced savings of $325m in 2014 thanks to an ambitious environmental programme.

Sydney, Australia, has become the world's first city to boast E Ink-based traffic signs.

Beginning next year, the textile industry in Taiwan will have to mandatorily take energy conservation measures, as per a directive of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), according to local media reports.

Researchers in The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering used this insight to invent something totally new: they've combined two promising solar cell materials together for the first time, creating a new platform for LED technology.

Academics at Brunel University London have presented the findings of research into a new cost-effective way of manufacturing energy-saving vacuum insulation panels.

The MOSFETs can bring highestenergy efficiency to end-applications such as power and gardening tools, light electric vehicles, drones and e-bikes that demand a high level of energy efficiency but are restricted in available space.

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.

The projects are designed to demonstrate performance and commercial-readiness, further reduce both product and manufacturing costs, and validate hydrogen production utilizing the SOFC technology in an electrolysis configuration.

Energy costs may only represent a small percentage of turnover in farming, but reducing them can directly increase profits and competitiveness.

The European Commission has published a package of reforms aimed at decarbonising the economy and giving consumers a “central role” in Europe’s energy transition.

The creators of Solar Paper are looking to buck this trend with a portable solar charger that generates up to 10 W of power, yet is lighter than an iPhone 6 Plus and only slightly wider and longer.

As a grocery or convenience store owner/operator, you understand that energy management is a top priority in the success and sustainability of your business.

The team from Suzhou Institute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics, Chinese Academy of Sciences develop a compact multifunctional device featuring a combined polarizer and colour filter.
