The Environment Ministry will begin a model project in which surplus electricity generated from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, will be utilized to produce hydrogen for fuel-cell vehicles.

In terms of electricity, 95.3 billion units were saved. India’s annual consumption of electricity is about 700 billion units. If this entire saved electricity had to be produced from coal-based thermal power plants, India would have burnt another 98 million tonnes of coal.

Rıza Köroğlu, director of Istanbul-based Total Energy Efficiency, told the Anadolu Agency (AA) that if Turkey reached the level of Germany - the world's leading energy efficient nation - the country could save $39 billion (TL 87.15 billion) on its $65 billion annual energy spend.

The typical restaurant uses five to seven times more energy per square foot than office buildings or retail stores. And if you are running a high-volume quick service establishment, you may be using up to 10 times more. All these energy costs can eat into your profits.

Among its aims are developing Energy Saving and Efficiency Tools (ESET) for SMEs, with on-site training and assistance for 150 companies. Another 350 firms will be helped to evaluate their production processes and make investments to increase energy efficiency

A review of the Energy Efficiency Improvement Scheme has found that the program saves participating households about $1600 each, Minister for the Environment, Simon Corbell, announced yesterday.

Businesses in the US are expected to save nearly $45 billion (£27.6bn) on their energy bills, thanks to funding announced for energy efficiency and renewable projects.

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP), through its new initiative launched, has said that a shift from energy-efficient appliances would save the world 350 billion dollars annually in electricity bills.

A desalination technology powered by solar panels could provide enough clean, palatable drinking water to meet the needs of India's water-deficient villages, MIT scientists say.

If SunPower’s average annual solar cell production was about 90,000 solar cells, it appears that SunPower will go well beyond this output. So the next billion solar cells they produce will probably occur in just a handful of years.

The UK’s Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has seen savings of more than £2 million so far by investing in energy efficient lighting.

The ENGO charging station uses kinetic tiles and solar panels to charge up to 14 smartphones at a time, and provides free WiFi access and an emergency phone.

Across the nation, American businesses, families, and communities are embracing clean, renewable energy that is homegrown, healthy, and can never run out. By finding alternatives to fossil fuels that pollute our air and disrupt our climate, they are showcasing the single most practical way to tackle climate change, starting now.

Nearly eight in 10 renters say landlords should not be allowed to let out properties that have very poor levels of energy efficiency as a majority of them find it hard to heat their homes properly.

The US Government is providing millions of dollars to help manufacturers increase the energy efficiency of their facilities in an effort to double energy productivity by 2030.

The European Union said it was looking for consultants to evaluate how consistent bloc-wide renewable energy targets are with national legislative measures.

More than 15,000 Australian businesses have now installed solar power to reduce their energy bills, and there is the potential for tens of thousands more to follow suit if the Renewable Energy Target (RET) is left as legislated, the Clean Energy Council said Monday.

Sweden is well ahead of all countries in successfully designing and implementing urban the waste-to-energy (WtE) plan, a process of generating heat and/or electricity from incineration of waste.

The turbines have outperformed company projections in four of the six months since operation began. At their highest output, the turbines provided 16.26 percent of the plant’s power requirements for the month of April.
