The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the University of California, San Diego, one of the nation's greenest universities, are joining for a groundbreaking symposium on January 22-23 to explore how to improve the technology sector's energy efficiency while developing innovations to help other industries reduce their carbon footprints.
Yale doctoral student Robert McGinnis and his advisor Menachem Elimelech, Chair of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, have designed systems that harness the power of osmosis to harvest freshwater from non-potable sources, including seawater and generate electricity from low-temperature heat sources, such as waste heat from conventional power plants.
QuantumSphere, Inc., a leading developer of advanced catalyst materials, high-performance electrode systems, and related process chemistries for portable power and clean-tech applications, today filed for a U.S. patent on a water purification process that serves as a more energy-efficient alternative to desalination methods now commonly used to help meet growing water needs around the world.
Joshua A. Nichols, a land use planner with the international law firm Greenberg Traurig P.A., has been designated as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED® AP) by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). The LEED® Green Building Rating System is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.
Ekocrete, Inc. today announced the availability of a new "green" concrete that uses 90% recycled and by-product materials without sacrificing strength or durability.
The Rapide™ Strata is the deioniser of choice for any industry requiring high quality purified water. Using short cycle SCION™ technology and an innovative pulse regeneration sequence, the Rapide™ Strata produces less wastewater with shorter downtime and uses less regenerant chemicals than any other deioniser in its class. This will provide cost savings of up to 40% compared to conventional products.
The completed renovation project of the Innovation Center at the DuPont Experimental Station in Wilmington, Del., in mid-2008, included the installation of a solar energy system which was funded in part by the State of Delaware's Green Energy Program. The photovoltaic (PV) panels of the system, which are located on the roof of the building, collect solar energy and convert it to provide 30 kilowatts of power each day.
Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STP), the world's largest manufacturer of photovoltaic (PV) modules, and Open Energy Corporation (OTCBB: OEGY), a developer of innovative and elegant building integrated PV (BIPV) products, energy management applications and solar energy solutions, announced that they have entered into an exclusive agreement to license Open Energy's building integrated solar roof membrane product.
Solar Power Partners, Inc. (SPP), a leading nationwide commercial developer of distributed solar energy facilities (SEFs), today announced that it has placed into service 19 new SEFs with a total capacity of 7.7 MW. This new capacity, along with the 5.1 MW in SPP Fund I, firmly positions SPP as a top solar developer in the United States.
Recognizing that energy is at the heart of many of the world's tribulations - economic, environmental and political - Stanford is establishing a $100 million research institute to focus intently on energy issues, President John Hennessy announced today. The $100 million in new funds will enable the hiring of additional faculty and support new graduate students, in addition to the more than $30 million in yearly funding now spent on energy research.
