New research to run cars on flower power
Will the oilfields of the future be full of sunflowers? They could be if Leeds fuel and energy researchers succeed in producing hydrogen from sunflower oil. Hydrogen is seen as the fuel of the future - able to create electricity with no harmful emissions - to power everything from cars, portable generators to flashlights and even homes and... view more...

The natural way to keep houses warm
Anyone who bought a new house built in Germany after 2002 has no worries. New building regulations introduced that year impose stricter energy standards, so these homes are generally well insulated. On the other hand, owners of older buildings should consider an energy-efficient renovation. The potential savings are significant. Statistically... view more... (2004-01-05)

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)
Chemistry & Industry - 3 June Issue
NEWS Hydrogen is the fuel of the future says Johnson Matthey's CEO (page 4) Christopher Clark, chief executive of Johnson Matthey, warned that the world needs to change from carbon to hydrogen as its major energy source in the next decades, as the effects of global warming become more apparent. Regenerating human fingers (page 6) Japanese... view more... (2002-05-30)
Despite Britain's weather, the sun always shines on PV
Contrary to popular opinion, Britain's weather is suited to solar power, say researchers at the University of Oxford. In an independent test of the leading types of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, they are finding out which types of solar panels work best in Britain's often dull and varied climate. Solar photovoltaic (PVs) are one of the most... view more... (2001-05-24)
Getting into hot water
An analysis of the engineering and economics for a solar water-heating system shows it to have a payback period of just two years, according to researchers in India. They report, in the International Journal of Global Energy Issues, on the success of the 1000-liter system operating at a university hostel. view more (2009-03-09)
Space shows way to Europe's renewable energy future
How can we more effectively harness the free and endless energy resources of the Sun, wind and water? One answer is orbiting above us. Satellites provide us with a wide variety of data that can help with many aspects of the building and management of renewable energy plants. ESA recently held a workshop at its Frascati-based centre in Italy,... view more... (2003-07-31)
U.N. Climate Change Conference considers ancient soil replenishment technique in battle against global warming
Former inhabitants of the Amazon Basin enriched their fields with charred organic materials-biochar-and transformed one of the earth's most infertile soils into one of the most productive. view more (2008-12-18)

Cornell ecologist's study finds that producing ethanol and biodiesel from corn and other crops is not worth the energy
Turning plants such as corn, soybeans and sunflowers into fuel uses much more energy than the resulting ethanol or biodiesel generates, according to a new Cornell University and University of California-Berkeley study. view more (2005-07-06)
PRESS CONFERENCE - Presentation of the UnivERsol project to promote the development of photovoltaic energy in Europe
On Monday 14th January at the Barcelona Science Park, a press conference will be held to mark the public presentation of the "UnivERsol" project (Universities, Renewable Energies, solar), which is co-financed by the Directorate General for Transport and Energy (DGTREN) of the European Commission. This project aims to promote the use of... view more... (2002-01-10)

Europe could ride the wave of Ocean Energy
Up to 20 million homes in Europe could be powered by clean renewable energy from the sea, according to ocean energy expert Teresa Pontes of Portugal, who was speaking at the EurOCEAN marine science and policy event in Galway today (12th May). She estimated that, by harnessing energy from waves and marine currents, Europe would produce around 200... view more... (2004-05-12)
Europe, the bright spark in converting sunlight into electricity: First ever calibration laboratory accreditation.
Solar Photovoltaic Systems converting sunlight into electricity are a key technology in reaching Europe's objectives of safe, secure and sustainable energy supply. World-wide production of solar electricity has continued to increase by more than 30% per year, reaching 1000 megawatts (enough to meet the domestic needs of 660.000 European citizens)... view more...
