Oak Ridge National Laboratory has announced plans to conduct a series of deep energy retrofit research projects with the potential to improve the energy efficiency in selected homes by as much as 30 to 50 percent.
Covadis and ATE Vitratech will spotlight Dow Corning’s products and solutions at Batimat 2009, a leading global construction trade show dedicated this year to sustainable renovation and energy efficiency, November 2-7, in Paris.
In an attempt to minimize carbon footprint and utility costs, Honeywell and Eastern Illinois University (EIU) have established an energy-efficient drive, upgrading the university campus with the installation of biomass-fueled heating solutions.
Based on the data collected at Greenville Housing Authority (GHA), Siemens has come out with the finding that the North Carolina housing authority project has exceeded its energy savings estimated for the construction period. In its recent analysis, Siemens has found out that energy savings will exceed the assured 5 to 10% levels.
With the new generation of ECO RTG from Siemens Drive Technologies, improved control functions for the operation of rubber-tired gantry cranes are now available. The basis of the new control is the simulation of the load curve and the resulting optimized control of the diesel-electric hybrid drive. By storing braking energy in ultra-capacitors when containers are lowered and by optimizing the utilization of energy due to the new control function, fuel consumption can be reduced by approximately 70 percent.
Renault Trucks and Coca-Cola Enterprises Belgium (CCEB) are joining forces to reduce their environmental impact, and Alcoa wheels are playing a part.
From November 23 to 26, 2009, Bayer MaterialScience will be represented at the BIG 5 trade fair in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, by its regional polyurethane systems house joint venture BaySystems Pearl. The company’s exhibits on stand Q 101 of the German pavilion, located in Zabeel Hall, will focus primarily on thermal insulation systems.
The Norwegian company Advanced Marine Coatings based in Gamle Fredrikstad specializes in the development of environmentally compatible, heavy-duty anti-corrosion coatings for sea-going vessels. The "Green Ocean Coating Heavy Duty" coatings are formulated with Baytubes® carbon nanotubes (CNT) from Bayer MaterialScience, which gives them very high abrasion resistance. The coatings also reduce the flow resistance between the ship's hull and the water, thereby enabling a significant reduction in fuel consumption.
A group of researchers at the City College of New York is developing a new way to generate power for planes and automobiles based on materials known as piezoelectrics, which convert the kinetic energy of motion into electricity. They will present their concept later this month at the 62nd Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society's (APS) Division of Fluid Dynamics.
A wide range of energy technologies is usually provided by the United States. The federal level tax credits and depreciation incentives of these energy technologies are currently regarded as insufficient. This hinders the nation’s growth in fulfilling various solar energy demands.
