Researchers at Boston College and MIT have used nanotechnology to achieve a major increase in thermoelectric efficiency, a milestone that paves the way for a new generation of products - from semiconductors and air conditioners to car exhaust systems and solar power technology - that run cleaner.
Allegheny Energy, today announced that it has completed a $105 million construction project to reduce emissions at its 1,300-MW Pleasants Power Station located in Willow Island, W.Va.
With World Meteorological Day taking place worldwide on 23 March, the World Meteorological Organization is marking the annual event with a global call for increased investment in weather, climate and hydrological observation technologies to help populations and economies adapt to climate change and climate variability and to prepare for extreme weather.
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. today announced that it has been selected by the U.S. Air Force to continue development of a flexible thin-film tandem solar cell with a goal of achieving photovoltaic conversion efficiencies of 20%.
A cheap alternative to silicon solar cells can be found in dye-sensitised solar cells. This type of cell imitates the natural conversion of sunlight into energy by, for instance, plants and light-sensitive bacteria. Annemarie Huijser has succeeded in substantially improving a process in this type of solar cell, which is similar to Gratzel cells. Huijser will receive her PhD on this subject from TU Delft on Tuesday 25 March.
The Geothermal Energy Association (GEA) today urged the House Appropriations Committee to direct the Department of Energy (DOE) to begin implementing legislation creating a new advanced geothermal research program passed by Congress in December.
With gasoline prices projected to hit the $4 per gallon point by this summer, the Engine Repower Council (ERC) reminds motorists that a repowered engine gets better gas mileage than a worn out engine, emitting fewer pollutants as well.
Governor Edward G. Rendell said multi-million-dollar renewable energy projects, like the solar electricity generation plant he helped break ground on today in Bucks County, reinforce Pennsylvania's leadership in one of the nation's fastest growing industries and highlight the potential for jobs and economic development.
With just a few keystrokes on a new online tool from Dow Corning Corp., manufacturing plant managers can estimate their energy and emissions savings if they lubricated their equipment properly.
Linde Nippon Sanso (LNS), a company of The Linde Group, has signed an exclusive contract with Malibu GmbH and Co. KG in Bielefeld, Germany, to supply all of the gases needed to make photovoltaic modules.
