Keep electric storage heaters on all the time. Our research also found that few people with electric storage heaters fully understand how they work (only 38%). This means that households with electric heating could be paying through the nose by not taking advantage of cheaper night rate electricity.

Researchers have developed a solar cell that is able to directly split water. It does not produce electricity in a first step and split the water in a second step, but rather only has one step.
-
Solid-state lighting technologies, which include both LED and organic light emitting diode technologies, have the potential to save Americans $26 billion a year in energy costs by 2030.

The device consists of the mesh solar panel, which acts as the first electrode, beneath that is a thin sheet of porous carbon that is the second electrode and a lithium plate that is the third electrode. Between the electrodes are sandwiched layers of electrolyte for carrying electrons back and forth.
-
Indian wind energy companies are looking to invest in offshore wind energy projects as the government plans to significantly increase the annual capacity added in the wind energy sector as a whole.

All eyes are on New York City this week, as world leaders come together for the U.N. Climate Summit – an event that aspires to shape the national and global energy future.
-
Components of the battery are made from alfalfa and pine resin, and can be recycled using a low energy process and non-hazardous chemicals like water and ethanol, unlike regular lithium batteries that require high energy processes using hazardous chemicals to recover any reusable components.
-
A new project helps give kids a safe place to play soccer in a Rio de Janeiro favela by using kinetic-energy harvesting tiles to produce electricity for keeping the lights on.
