Around two-thirds of energy efficiency potential will be unrealised between now and 2035 under existing policies, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Energy transformation in Europe has exposed the shortcomings of over-regulation and national-centric policy, providing the Middle East with valuable lessons to manage supply, competition and future investment in its own market.

The Energy Agreement for Sustainable Growth, concluded by the government with employers, trade unions, environmental organisations and others, contains provisions on energy conservation, boosting energy from renewable sources and job creation.

In the quest for another renewable energy source that can potentially provide a constant source of carbon-free power, researchers at UC Berkeley are working on extracting the energy of ocean waves, and looking to use a hydraulic seafloor 'carpet' to harvest and convert it to usable energy.

NASA and the DOE have set up a crowdsourcing campaign to find the best ideas for harnessing wave energy for producing electricity and they're offering up some great tools.

A new initiative that aims to create a support network for the clean energy business and entrepreneur community is being launched in the US.

A pilot scheme that provides businesses with financial support to install more efficient electrical technologies that help reduce their peak demand has been launched.
