A new study demonstrates a way to adapt the so-called Trombe wall — a passive solar building design from the 19th century — to not only heat but also cool buildings, while drastically reduce associated carbon emissions. The new design is now being tested by locals in Saint Catherine, Egypt.…

Computer scientists and electrical engineers have generated Wi-Fi transmissions using 10,000 times less power than conventional methods. With ‘Passive Wi-Fi,’ signals can be transmitted at rates up to 11 megabits per second — rates that are lower than maximum Wi-Fi speeds but are 11 times faster than Bluetooth — and…

By Robin Sayles Précis: Site activities are underway for the Duba 1 Integrated Solar Combined Cycle (ISCC) station which will host the largest integrated CSP capacity in the Arabian Gulf region. The 605 MW power plant will include a 43 MW parabolic trough array, around double the largest solar capacity…

By david.glickson@nrel.gov (David Glickson) February 23, 2016 The Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is now accepting applications for its 2016 Executive Energy Leadership Program. NREL’s Executive Energy Leadership Program, also known as Energy Execs, provides non-technical business, governmental, and community leaders throughout the country an opportunity to learn…

Chemists and engineers have proven that concentrated light, heat and high pressures can drive the one-step conversion of carbon dioxide and water directly into useable liquid hydrocarbon fuels.
