Powering Australia with waves
Wave energy is surging ahead as a viable source of renewable energy to generate electricity -- with Australia's southern margin identified by the World Energy Council as one of the world's most promising sites for wave-energy generation. View More (2010-08-17)
Renewable energy from farm waste
DE MONTFORT UNIVERSITY CONFERENCE ON BIOMASS ENERGY AT THE FARM - OCTOBER 1999 View More (1999-04-16)
Call made for better metrics for energy savings
A Michigan State University professor says if the world is to make better decisions when it comes to developing new energy sources, it needs to have better methods of measuring progress toward its energy goals. Just how well are we doing at developing alternatives to fossil fuels? View More (2010-02-22)
Renewable Energy Reviewed by Chemistry & Industry - Special Issue Considers the Future of Power
Coinciding with the UK government’s energy review, the latest issue of Chemistry & Industry magazine (18 February 2002) evaluates the current and future status of renewable energy. Wind, landfill gas, biomass, solar, wave energy and fuel cells are covered. View More (2002-02-14)
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 biomass (wood, charcoal and dung) to meet their... View More (2002-08-16)
Energy network launches international web survey
A European website designed to stimulate informed debate on future energy sources this week launches a multi-lingual survey to gauge public attitudes to, and knowledge of, crucial energy issues. The INTUSER website (www.intuser.net) is a new on-line forum for both the general public and energy experts to communicate about energy issues - from nuclear power and global warming to alternative energy...

Pregnant women carrying boys need more energy
Pregnant women carrying boys have a 10% higher energy intake than those carrying girls, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. View More (2003-06-04)
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 (2009-12-17)
Academy cautious over Energy White Paper
The Royal Academy of Engineering's Vice President, Mr Phil Ruffles FREng, today welcomed the publication of the Energy White Paper but cautioned that the targets for renewables, reduction in emissions and energy efficiency were all economically and technologically demanding. The Academy has been on record previously pointing out the immense engineering challenges of meeting these targets - in... View More (2003-02-24)

A new brake on cellular energy production discovered
A condition that has to be met for the body to be able to keep warm, move and even survive is that the mitochondria - the cells' power stations - release the right amounts of energy. View More (2007-07-27)
Modern, low-energy ammunition can cause deep tissue damage
Gunshot injuries are typically categorized as low- or high-energy based on the weapon's missile velocity and mass. View More (2012-02-08)
Low-carbon hybrid energy systems -- China's future energy solutions
A low-carbon solution to high-carbon energy resources such as coal is proposed by their high efficient integration with either nuclear or renewable energy, which may figure out the strategic solution to China's future energy development. View More (2013-02-11)
Toward better solar cells: Chemists gain control of light-harvesting paths
University of Florida chemists have pioneered a method to tease out promising molecular structures for capturing energy, a step that could speed the development of more efficient, cheaper solar cells. View More (2009-10-09)
Human reproductive rates follow biological scaling rules
In nations with high per capita energy consumption, women have fewer children. This phenomenon is an unexpected consequence of the biological scaling relationship between metabolism and reproductive rate: larger species of mammals have higher metabolism but lower birth rates. In the April 2003 issue of Ecology Letters, Moses and Brown show that these same biological scaling rules describe the... View More (2003-04-08)
Household sewage: Not waste, but a vast new energy resource
In a finding that gives new meaning to the adage, "waste not, want not," scientists are reporting that household sewage has far more potential as an alternative energy source than previously thought. View More (2011-01-06)
Energy crops take a roasting
A process used to roast coffee beans could give Britain's biomass a power boost, increasing the energy content of some of the UK's leading energy crops by up to 20 per cent. View More (2008-05-22)
Couch potatoes of the animal kingdom
In a study involving the first-ever daily energy expenditure measurements in apes, a researcher from Washington University in St. Louis and his team have determined that orangutans living in a large indoor/outdoor habitat used less energy, relative to body mass, than nearly any eutherian mammal ever measured, including sedentary humans.

Media invitation: Wind - Power of the Future
Hot on the heels of its recent report The Cost of Generating Electricity, the Royal Academy of Engineering is co-hosting a topical lecture entitled 'Wind Energy - Powering the Future'. The lecture will take place on Monday 15 March at The Royal Society of Edinburgh. Guest speaker, Dr Ian Mays, is Managing Director of Renewable Energy Systems Ltd and winner of a prestigious Royal Academy of... View More (2004-03-11)
Context affects opinion about novel energy sources
Opinions people have about innovations are influenced by the context in which they form their opinion. For example, opinions about a novel energy source like biomass are influenced by thoughts regarding other energy sources. View More (2007-07-13)
