Earth Summit must address the "double bottom line": tackling poverty without costing the earth.
Governments meeting at the Earth Summit this month should agree to a global action plan to get clean energy to the third of humanity who currently lack access to modern energy, according to a paper released by ITDG today. Over two billion people in the developing world lack any access to electricity and up to three billion depend on traditional... view more... (2002-08-16)
Toward home-brewed electricity with 'personalized solar energy'
New scientific discoveries are moving society toward the era of "personalized solar energy," in which the focus of electricity production shifts from huge central generating stations to individuals in their own homes and communities. view more (2009-11-05)
Ultra-clean coal to power a greener future
Engineers in Nottingham are developing ultra-clean coal that could make power generation 50% more efficient and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by a third. A team at The University of Nottingham is one of only two in the world working on ground-breaking techniques to purify one of the world's main energy sources. view more (2005-05-10)
Energy at the Crossroads
Market intervention required if government emissions targets are to be met say chemical engineers Low wholesale electricity prices in the UK's liberalised energy market are continuing to stifle investment into new clean power technologies with serious implications for the government's CO2 targets and the security of future energy supplies. This is... view more... (2002-09-19)
Magazine touts NJIT idea to harness clean energy for NYC
An NJIT architecture professor with an architecture student has designed a network of modular floating docks to harness clean energy for New York City. The proposal was featured this week in Metropolis magazine. view more (2009-07-16)
UT Knoxville and ORNL researchers turn algae into high-temperature hydrogen source
In the quest to make hydrogen as a clean alternative fuel source, researchers have been stymied about how to create usable hydrogen that is clean and sustainable without relying on an intensive, high-energy process that outweighs the benefits of not using petroleum to power vehicles. view more (2009-11-12)
Further commitment to sustainable power generation
A further £10M for research into renewable energy technologies Following the Government's "Energy Review" a further £10M is being put into research into renewable energy technology. The kind of work being invested in will include: Power distribution networks - ensuring a high quality, reliable supply of electricity. Marine... view more... (2002-05-31)
Pitt professor designs less-risky reactor for clean, safe energy
Reactors that burn hydrogen or natural gas to generate energy can be dirty and dangerous. The mix of air with hydrogen or natural gas can explode easily if composition and temperature are not carefully controlled. And reactors often produce polluting byproducts. view more (2006-09-13)
Ultra-Useful Ultrasound Causing A Stir In Materials Science
As the molecules are manipulated by the sound wave, tiny cavities are formed and destroyed inside the material that release high levels of energy when they implode, causing chemical or physical reactions to occur. Sonochemistry is already proving a useful tool and is being applied commercially in the former Soviet Union in the casting process and... view more... (1999-02-03)
European Programme to promote renewable energy
The European Commission has accepted EVE, the Basque Energy Entity, and Eolicas de Euskadi within the programme to promote renewable energy. The European Union is aware of the effort EVE is doing to obtain 12 % of primary energy from renewable energy. This entity has been accepted in the programme Campaign for Take-Off, together with Eolicas de... view more... (2002-10-03)
ESF Task Force for Clean Solar Energy
The European Union and its member states are being urged by leading scientists to make a major multi million Euro commitment to solar driven production of environmentally clean electricity, hydrogen and other fuels, as the only sustainable long-term solution for global energy needs. view more (2006-06-13)
Researchers make advances in wind energy generation
Engineers at the University of Alberta have created a wind energy generator that they hope people will one day be able to use to power their own homes. view more (2005-07-19)
Nonstick chewing gum to become a reality
Easy-to-remove chewing gum is to become a reality, thanks to a major technological break-through. The announcement will be made this week at the BA Festival of Science in York. view more (2007-09-14)
Inderscience Publishers
A way to make wind power smoother and more efficient that exploits the inertia of a wind turbine rotor could help solve the problem of wind speed variation, according to research published in the International Journal of Power Electronics. view more (2009-01-08)
Microorganisms one part of the solution to energy problem, says report
The answer to one of the world's largest problems - the need for clean, renewable sources of energy - might just come from some of the world's smallest inhabitants - bacteria - according to a new report, Microbial Energy Conversion, released by the American Academy of Microbiology. view more (2006-11-17)
The 'clean plate club' may turn children into overeaters
"Finish your broccoli!" Although parents may have good intentions about forcing their kids to eat cold, mushy vegetables, this approach may backfire the very next day, according to new research from Cornell University. view more (2009-03-06)
Impact of renewable energy on our oceans must be investigated, say scientists
Scientists from the Universities of Exeter and Plymouth are today calling for urgent research to understand the impact of renewable energy developments on marine life. view more (2009-09-17)
U of M researchers discover key for converting waste to electricity
Researchers at the University of Minnesota studying bacteria capable of generating electricity have discovered that riboflavin (commonly known as vitamin B-2) is responsible for much of the energy produced by these organisms. view more (2008-03-04)
Prolonged respiratory problems for oil spill clean-up volunteers
Workers and volunteers who helped in the clean-up effort after the 2002 Prestige oil spill off the Galician coast of Spain exhibit prolonged respiratory symptoms resulting from their exposure. view more (2007-09-14)
DOE outlines research needed to improve solar energy technologies
To help achieve the Bush Administration's goal of increased use of solar and other renewable forms of energy, the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science has released a report describing the basic research needed to produce "revolutionary progress in bringing solar energy to its full potential in the energy marketplace." view more (2005-08-15)
