You may have never imagined that sick trees, attacked by a common methane-producing fungus are responsible for 10 percent of the potent greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. It's an important discovery that will surely leave important decisions behind. The research has...
A team of researchers from the WSU (Washington State University) have discovered that dams with their water reservoirs, nowadays universally considered green energy resources, are actually contributing to the heating of the global climate. How? Read on. Methane, as it's...
Though the hydrogen fuel cells used nowadays are not powerful enough that commercial aircraft engines can be replaced by them, it doesn’t mean that they are not effective enough to make air travel more efficient. Airbus flight tests have...

Investing in green and renewable energy has never been more cost-efficient than with ecoSolargy’s new solar module lines, namely, the Lotus, Apollo and Zeus series. These new modules are guaranteed to cut investment payback by up to five years,...
Researchers from Panasonic Corp replicate the ability of plants to use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to form organic compounds, with the same efficiency. Artificial photosynthesis will soon be a viable technology to produce a wide array of organic...
Scotland launches its first Marine Energy Park (MEP) in the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters area. It represents the largest wave and tidal development zone in that part of the world. Climate Change Minister Greg Barker officially opens the park,...
