Energy efficiency has been recognised as a key piece of the net-zero puzzle but faster uptake of existing technologies is needed.
-
No effect of LEED certification on average energy consumption in federal buildings.
-
Thermoelectric generators that can convert waste heat to clean energy could soon be as efficient as other renewable energy sources, like solar, according to a team led by Penn State scientists.
-
In 2023, four enterprises in the steel production, building materials, and wood processing sectors participated in the Voluntary Agreement Scheme on Energy Efficiency in Energy-Intensive Industries (VAS Program), within the framework of the Energy Partnership Program between Vietnam and Denmark 2020-2025 (DEPP3 Program), implemented by the Ministry of Industry and Trade in collaboration with the Embassy of Denmark and the Danish Energy Agency.

A groundbreaking development in massless energy storage has been achieved by a research group at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. Their innovative structural battery has the potential to reduce the weight of laptops by half, make mobile phones as thin as credit cards, and boost the driving range of electric cars by up to 70% on a single charge.

Annual savings of $20 billion are possible across six Southeastern states by reaching 45% solar generation by 2035, according to a national laboratory study.
-
Industry is the second largest source of CO2 emissions, with heavy industries like chemicals, steel, and cement responsible for nearly 60% of energy consumption. Energy efficiency is crucial for meeting climate targets in the EU, but can it alone decarbonize these sectors? This paper examines the role of energy-efficient technologies and necessary policy recommendations.
-
MOST (molecular solar thermal energy storage systems) combines a silicon solar cell with an innovative storage system. This cutting-edge breakthrough not only addresses the pressing issues but also paves the way for a new era of sustainable energy storage. It achieves a record energy storage efficiency of 2.3%.
-
Thailand's largest cement producer, Siam Cement Group (SCG), plans to invest THB 200 billion (about 6.3 billion USD) over the next five years to enhance the competitiveness of its subsidiaries, SCG Chemicals and SCG Cleanergy, in order to assist the parent company in accelerating emission reductions.
-
Vietnam plans to develop green and energy-saving steel products and increase the market share of domestically produced steel to gradually replace imported products.
-
Using state-of-the-art energy efficiency technologies to renovate existing properties and construct new ones could enable Europe's construction sector to almost eliminate its carbon emissions by 2060, a new study suggests.
-
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have designed an energy-efficient device that produces drinking water from seawater using an evaporation process driven largely by the sun.
-
Malaysia initiates energy audits for medium and large-sized industries for the period of 2016-2025. Under this initiative, a free energy audit is offered with a requirement in which the owner needs to invest in energy savings measures with an amount equal to or higher than the cost of the audit. It is further complemented by energy management and monitoring to ensure the energy savings measures are on the right track.

UK government urged to change regulations so new homes incorporate solar panels, heat pump, high-grade insulation and battery storage.
-
As a relentless heatwave drives electricity demand to record highs, South Korea’s business community has banded together to launch an energy conservation campaign.
-
New research from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) finds that making average electric vehicles as efficient as their higher-performing peers can reduce the upfront cost of an EV by almost $5,000 and cut charging costs by nearly a third. Improving the efficiency of a 300-mile-range EV can give it the same range with much smaller batteries, significantly cutting costs.
