In the quest for sustainable alternative energy and fuel sources, one viable solution may be the conversion of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into liquid fuels, say scientists. Read more here:: http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/matter_energy/fuel_cells/~3/F_iBGzoe3ZE/160106125646.htm
For years, scientists have been pursuing ways to imitate a leaf’s photosynthetic power to make hydrogen fuel from water and sunlight. In a new twist, a team has come up with another kind of device that mimics two of a leaf’s processes — photosynthesis and transpiration — to harness solar…
A new world record has been set by scientists for converting non-concentrated (1-sun) sunlight into electricity using a dual-junction III-V/Si solar cell. Read more here:: http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/matter_energy/solar_energy/~3/OBhVq9ThTZU/160106101039.htm
RenewableUK is predicting a busy year of construction activity in onshore and offshore wind in 2016, bringing massive economic benefits across the UK. However, onshore construction work beyond next year is under severe threat of curtailment as the Government has withdrawn financial support for future projects. Onshore wind developers are…

By heather.lammers@nrel.gov (Heather Lammers) Report webinar to be held on January 13 January 6, 2016 A new study by researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) estimates that $2.2 billion in benefits came from reduced greenhouse gas emissions…
This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter. January 06, 2016 The Energy Department on December 17 announced new efficiency standards for commercial air conditioners and furnaces. Developed with industry, utilities, and environmental groups, these standards will save more energy than any other standard issued by…
This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter. January 06, 2016 The Energy Department on December 28 announced six organizations selected to receive up to $10.5 million to support the design and operation of innovative marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) energy systems through survivability and reliability-related improvements.…
RenewableUK is highlighting new official statistics from National Grid which show that 2015 was a record year for wind energy generation, with onshore and offshore wind farms supplying their largest ever amounts of clean electricity to Britain’s homes, factories and offices. Wind set new weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual generation…
In 2009, Stanford University engineering professor Mark Jacobson outlined a plan for the world to get all its energy – including transport and heating fuel and electricity – from wind, water and solar resources by 2050. Considered radical at the time, the model has been fleshed out to provide details…
