New multi million pound competition intended to identify improved foundation designs

Quite a few companies have tried their hand at portable renewable energy charging devices, resulting in some clever ideas like solar messenger bags and mini solar generators.

Britain should only support energy production from burning wood and other biomass where proven carbon cuts result, said a report by the Environment Agency, a public body which advises government.

Siemens claims German offshore wind market is now "picking up speed"

Explosions blamed on garage refineries

Offshore power generation is usually thought to mean windpower (despite the fact that there is still none in the United States).

Researchers at the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) said that they have achieved a premium conversion efficiency of 16.4% (aperture area) on a full-size solar module, a new world-record efficiency for photovoltaic (PV) modules with multicrystalline silicon solar cells.

A Minnesota biofuels company that has attracted visits from financiers, scientists, customers and the federal government has produced a clean diesel fuel from algae harvested from a pond next door to its Anoka County plant.

The Norwegian Government gave Britain’s renewable energy sector a boost yesterday by announcing that it would invest £500 million in an offshore wind farm.

Manufacturing of wind turbine parts in the United States grew last year as the market for wind energy boomed, but trade figures show that imports continued at a high rate after years of big growth.

But poor practices could lead to more emissions than coal The best biomass power plants have the potential to cut carbon emissions by up to 98 per cent compared to using coal, but poorly designed facilities could lead to a net increase in greenhouse gases.

The United Kingdom has some of the richest wind resources in the world. For years this potential lay untapped, but efforts in the UK are at last taking off.

A Devon inventor is hoping to make a commercial version of his wave energy machine in the Middle East.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have found that a tiny aquatic plant can be used to clean up animal waste at industrial hog farms and potentially be part of the answer for the global energy crisis.

Chinook Sciences Ltd., a manufacturer and operator of advanced gasification technology and European Metal Recycling Ltd. (EMR), one of the world's largest recycling companies and the largest recycler of automobiles in Europe, have formed what is believed to be the first commercial scale joint venture to convert automobile shredder residue (ASR) into renewable electricity and recover and recycle metal in the process.

E.ON's Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station has become a little greener following the installation of a solar array. The company has installed a 68 panel solar photovoltaic array at the power station to help heat and light the administration block, saving an estimated 6.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

Windmills off the East Coast could generate enough electricity to replace most, if not all, the coal-fired power plants in the United States, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Monday.

Single-celled organisms that can convert electricity into methane could help solve one of the biggest problems with renewable energy – its unreliability compared to the steady output of polluting fossil-fuel power stations.

Opposition to wind farms should become as socially unacceptable as failing to wear a seatbelt, Ed Miliband, the climate change secretary, has said.

MIT research finds that many modern manufacturing techniques use more energy than traditional industries
