In a ribbon-cutting ceremony today, the U.S. Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) unveiled a new laboratory designed to demonstrate that a typical-looking suburban home for a family of four can generate as much energy as it uses in a year. Following an initial year-long experiment, the facility will be used to improve test methods for energy-efficient technologies and develop cost-effective design standards for energy-efficient

Shortly after the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe, the celebrated Guardian journalist George Monbiot wrote one of his most widely read articles. It was entitled 'Why Fukushima made me stop worrying and love nuclear power'.

Aircraft manufacturer testing a range of fuel-efficient technologies in ecoDemonstrator plane on loan from American Airlines.

These days supercomputing isn’t just for niche applications like unlocking the secrets of dark matter, finding the Higgs boson particle, and helping us understand nuclear weapons without explosive testing. With recent strides in technology and a numbe

Researchers at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid UPM have patented gypsum boards able to store thermal energy that can reduce up to 40% of energy consumption of a building.

The B75 blade is the world's largest fiberglass component cast in one piece. The manufacturing process posed several challenges for the project team. In particular, the mold had to consist of two parts so that it could be transported.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU).

Researchers from the University of Southampton have devised a novel method for forming virtual power plants to provide renewable energy production in the UK.

Whichever technology is selected, there will be an extensive licensing and consultation process. This and the construction of the new facility will most likely take around 10 years, according to the NDA, which said it expects the new plant to be up and running in "the early years of the next decade".

Brazil’s Edra Equipamentos has developed an eco-friendly ATM booth crafted from environmentally friendly raw materials. Instead of conventional, oil-derived resins, the walls and ceiling of the booth are built from a polymer derived from a combination of recycled plastic,

A lettuce grower wants to install a 110ft wind turbine to provide power for the business . JC’s Country Fresh Produce in Whitestake, near Penwortham, has applied for planning permission to erect equipment on its premises off Parker Lane.

International home furnishing retail giant IKEA wants to use only energy generated by renewable sources for its operations and has recently made a move towards meeting this goal with the installation of 30 wind turbines in Härjedalen, Sweden.

All equipment is designed to comply with the European playground standard EN1176 aimed at making play areas safe for all to use, and is made in UK using kite-marked steel, anti-tamper fixings and installed securely with ground sockets.

Ambitious multi-billion-dollar projects to harness the power of the region's year-round blazing sun have already been announced by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.

THERE are no electric poles on the tiny island village of Baleswar in Nalbari district of Asom. Even then, you can see people using fans and lights, charging their cellphones and even operating computers! All thanks to solar power.

During the past decade, United States renewable electricity production has increased by a considerable 300%. Despite this impressively rapid growth, the European Union is still far ahead the US, as European countries (especially Germany) utilize renewable energy much more than the US or the rest of the world.

So far, it has been determined that GaInP cells placed at a maximum depth of 9.1 meters (29.9 feet) provide an output of 7 watts per square meter (10.8 sq ft) – enough to power a device such as an environmental sensor.

Getting energy from the sun is a great idea. However, installing solar panels house-by-house is slow, costly and cumbersome, and downright inefficient if the goal is to bring solar to the masses.

The International Energy Agency said the world's clean energy investments are sorely lacking and this week called for an additional $36 trillion of funding by 2050.

Morocco's ambitious and expensive plan to draw 40 percent of its energy needs from the limitless power of its blazing sun by 2020 received a publicity boost this week as the first solar powered plane to make an intercontinental flight landed in the North African kingdom.

Ireland laid out a renewables strategy for 2020 which, though short on detail, backed further development of offshore wind, and began to mollify critics who believe Dublin has ceded too much momentum on offshore renewables to the UK.
