While many of us may enjoy grilling food over an open fire, the fact is that cooking fires are a major source of health problems for millions of people in developing nations, who use them on a daily basis.

The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has released the 2015 International Scorecard Self-Scoring Tool for countries to conduct an energy efficiency rating, reported Energy Management Today last week.

Understatement should not be on the agenda here: the Lefdal Mine Datacenter (LMD), a 120,000 square metre installation under construction near Måløy on Norway's west coast is going to be the European’s largest data centre, producing a capacity of 100 megawatts. According to its operators, their goal is to become Europe’s number one in terms of cost-efficiency, security, flexibility and sustainability.

A team from MIT –- composed of students Michael Laracy and Thomas Poinot, along with professors Elsa Olivetti, Hamlin Jennings and John Ochsendorf -- has developed Eco-BLAC bricks: an alternative to traditional bricks that reuses industrial waste and is low-cost and low energy.

Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is seeking to nearly double the budget for energy-saving measures to be adopted in places such as factories and homes as the country eyes improvements in energy efficiency.

The Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI) has been formally launched in Jamaica.

The group ISA Tracto C replaced diesel with kinetic energy, saving up to 20 thousand liters of fuel annually.

Optimization of the robot's movements reduces acceleration and deceleration, as well as the time the robot is at a standstill since being at a standstill also consumes energy.

When it comes to following basic business principles, the oil and gas industry is no different from any other: reducing energy, increasing operational efficiency and cutting costs are critically important to any successful enterprise.

We’ve seen several transparent solar cell concepts, but perhaps none with such ambitious claims as those made by SolarWindow Technologies.

India's Cochin International Airport is now the first in the world to be powered solely on solar energy.

The world's first 5-star resort to be completely powered by solar proves that luxury does not have to be sacrificed in the name of sustainability.

Graphene could lead to greener more fuel efficient cars in the future by converting heat into electricity.

The Coca-Cola headquarters in Brussels improved its energy efficiency with Umisol window film.

The lower efficiencies mean that it takes years for homeowners and businesses to recoup the money they invest in solar power systems. If the efficiencies were higher, that time for return on investment would be slashed, people would be able to cover more of their power loads with renewable energy and solar power would be much more enticing to people and corporations.

A new report out today shows the cable, satellite and telco service providers — companies such as Comcast, Dish Network and AT&T that bring pay TV into our homes — have begun to really focus on the amount of energy consumed by the almost 200 million set-top boxes installed across America.
