Japanese Green Energy Power Plants on Water
Japanese scientists explore the usefulness of clean-tech energy generators that are floating on the sea as a source of energy for the whole country, announced a Japanese newspaper.
TGER: the Machine that Turns Trash into Electricity
TGER is the name of the trash-eating machine. It uses multiple technologies to fuel a standard 60-kilowatt electrical generator.
Denmark to Replace Gas Tanks With Batteries
Denmark has a problem. When you’re not like the whole crowd you come from, you’re different and you want to stand up, then you have a problem. Denmark produces a lot more electricity from wind farms than it can consume. In fact, they even want to sell it to Germany and other countries at a [...]
New Invention: Bacteria Eating CO2 From The Atmosphere
A scientist who mapped his genome and the genetic diversity of the oceans said Thursday he is creating a life form that feeds on climate-ruining carbon dioxide to produce fuel.
Craig Venter (in the picture), a famous geneticist, announced his “fourth-generation fuel” project at an elite Technology, Entertainment and Design conference in Monterey, California. Between the [...]

Disintegrating polystyrene
Foam polystyrene is a major environmental concern. It is used as a protective packaging for all sorts of products, but it is not biodegradable. Various manufacturers have experimented in making it more environmentally friendly, for example by incorporating cellulose and starch which microbes can break down, or by adding light-sensitive polymers that degrade in [...]
A nuclear fusion project approved to go
Reproducing the power of the sun on Earth is no easy task, but an international team of physicists based in Europe is now preparing to give it a go.
If their attempt to develop nuclear fusion works, it could provide a limitless and clean source of energy that promises to end reliance on the fossil fuels [...]

October 20, 2003 - What started as a simple conversation between two University of Alberta engineering professors has led to the discovery of a new way to harness electricity–from flowing [...]
Bacteria Eats Pollution and Generates Electricity
Scientists have long studied bacteria that can clean up toxic waste by eating it. Other bacteria have been employed to produce electricity.
Now scientists have found a two-for-one deal in bacteria that will eat toxic chemicals 24/7 and make electricity to boot.
“The bacteria are capable of continuously generating electricity at levels that could be used to [...]
