Cool Planet Energy Systems introduces its ingenious clean-technology product – a modular and shippable micro biorefinery for on-site biofuel generation that costs only $1.5 per gallon of biofuel produced; and one of its clients, Google, has been testing this...
Enerkem, a clean-technology company founded in 2000 and based in Quebec, Canada, is currently constructing its first industrial-scale waste-to-biofuel plant at Edmonton’s Waste Management Center at the Goldbar landfill site and seeking for engineers and technical staffs to hire....
The UK's public fleets are getting cleaner every month, it seems, including an electric bus trial, and an electric-vehicle only car-sharing club. This week's special announcement includes fifty new EV minicabs, which will soon be roaming the streets...
Electric vehicles suffer a major problem with public perception, specifically their battery packs. EV battery packs are prohibitively expensive when it comes to increasing range. Affordable EVs are limited in range, which keeps many customers from considering them.
The...
A tiny photovoltaic cell brought the 2012 German Environmental Award, the largest award for environmental work given in Europe, to Andreas Bett. Together with his co-workers- Hansjörg Lerchenmüller and Günther Cramer, Bett has spent the last 25 years developing...
We've all heard the argument, “Not in my back yard,” when it comes to energy installations. This seems to apply to even clean energy installations, such as wind and solar. People complain about “all that wasted space” or other...
Compost pitting has been a customary practice of cultivating soil. Recently, a study of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has proven that this method also works for improving abandoned land areas after being contaminated by mining activities.
For a long...
Electrified vehicles, including variations of electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles , all have two things in common, an electric motor and a rechargeable battery. Unfortunately, the demand for EVs just isn't as strong as anyone was expecting,...
There is a vast number of iPad covers available, from utilitarian to luxurious. There are also a number of iPad charging covers including solar-powered versions, which eliminate the need to plug in, at least in theory.
The problem is that...
One of the issues in biofuel production has always been making it efficient. Various catalyst materials have been found to be very efficient, but short-lived. Under high-pressure, high-temperature, biofuel processing conditions, the catalysts start to break down and ruins...
