They say forests are Earth's lungs - ok, but they're after all biomass, and we could cut them for a profit and still stay clean, because this practice should be carbon neutral... not. At least that's what common sense...
This one is worth paying attention to: the March 2011 record for solar cell efficiency held by Solar Junction has been broken last month by Sharp. The US-based company has offered the world a triple-junction compound solar cell that...
CO2 measurements across the Arctic recorded a milestone value of 400 parts per million (ppm), for the first time in 800,000 years. Can you imagine what this means to the planet, to us and to our children's future?
In the...
Does anyone know what a downdraft energy tower is? I thought so...Well, no worries, because you're about to see one at the US-Mexican border area in Arizona’s San Luis. Maybe it won't impress you by its looks, but if...
Did you ever have that weird feeling when opening up the electricity bill? Or did you ever feel like the payable amount was too much?... Well, we think you've been getting that a lot lately, but from now on...
A Colorado-based startup company, Boulder Ionics, has invented a liquid electrolyte based on molten salts that can revolutionize the entire energy storage industry. For example, it could replace a starter car battery with one the size of a flashlight....
Carbon dioxide emission hit a record high on a global scale as has been reported by the International Energy Agency (IEA), according to 2011 figures. This has really cast doubts on whether or not the world could avoid an...
An innovative method of saving the energy consume by data centers has been invented by EPFL scientists and applied for Credit Suisse in Switzerland. The solution, developed at the Embedded Systems Laboratory at EPFL, will save up to 50%...
If somebody's crying after nuclear energy, it sure isn't Germany: the country scored 22 GW of solar electricity per hour a week ago, the same as having 20 nuclear power stations hitting on all cylinders.
More precisely, on the afternoon...
Civil engineers at MIT could have a powerful word in the realm of fuel saving. They recently found out by computer simulations that huge amounts of CO2 and fuel could be saved in a year if the road pavements...
