Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions compared to their gas-only counterparts. Researchers at the University of California, Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering have taken the technology one step further, demonstrating how to improve the efficiency of current PHEVs by almost 12 percent.
Around a fifth of the energy-saving benefits of fuel-efficient cars are eroded because people end up driving them more, according to a study into British motoring habits over the last 40 years.
In a twist of geometry, an oval can make a line. The new algae raceway testing facility at Sandia National Laboratories may be oval in shape, but it paves a direct path between laboratory research and solving the demand for clean energy.
A group of scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has successfully observed the unique molecular processes that occur during the production of organic solar cells.
When it comes to solar cells, cost and efficiency are key factors for moving from the lab to the market. Metal-halide perovskites show outstanding photovoltaic properties combined with relatively cheaper manufacturing.
The nation’s airlines could realize more than $250 billion dollars in savings in the near future thanks to green-related technologies developed and refined by NASA’s aeronautics researchers during the past six years.
Approximately one year after leading roof window manufacturer VELUX Group joined forces with social business Little Sun and NGO Plan International, launching a design competition to bring clean, sustainable light to Africa, the first solar lamps have now arrived on African soil.
Energy consumption can be one of the most critical cost factors in manufacturing, especially for processes requiring a continuous and intensive use of energy. IK4-IKERLAN, a Spanish technology centre based in the Basque Country, is busy engineering integrated tools for battery packs used in industry with innovative energy efficiency features. And what is more, these tools can be used to put in place control strategies aimed at releasing energy to the process when it is most needed, in step with price peaks on the market.
Citycon will convert to geothermal heating and cooling in Jakobsbergs Centrum reducing the overall energy consumption of the shopping centre by up to 65%. Jakobsbergs Centrum will serve as a pilot project for geothermal solutions in Citycon’s shopping centres in line with Citycon’s objective to invest in energy efficiency and increased use of renewable energy sources.
Norway leads the world in new car sales of electric vehicles, but how will charging all those EVs affect the Norwegian energy supply? Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology are helping to develop Smart Grid solutions that will ease the crunch caused by powering our transportation with electricity.
