Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the business community should be encouraged to participate in the development of green growth. Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha emphasized this at the closing of the ASEM forum on green growth in Hanoi on October 4.

Nuclear energy is for not only developed countries but also developing countries like Vietnam which can implement and apply nuclear energy in its economic development, said IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano.

A solution to which the power sector attaches special attention to overcome power shortages is to promote energy saving programs. In particular, power saving solutions in industrial factories, which are considered to have the largest saving potential, are of great importance.

Hãng sản xuất xe điện của Mỹ Tesla Motors Inc. vừa cho biết, hãng này sẵn sàng sản xuất mẫu xe điện Model S mới của mình vào trước cuối năm nay tại nhà máy của hãng ở Fremont, bang California.

As forecasted by EVN, under the basic plan, load demand in the last six months of the year will reach 56.949 billion kWh, 8.23% higher than the same period of 2010. Water flow of hydropower reservoirs in the last four months of the year shall reach the frequency of 65%; hydropower reservoirs shall reach the normal water levels at the end of the year.

According to the Provincial Center of Industrial Promotion, the Energy saving program in 2011 is subsidized by the central budget (under the National Program on Energy Efficiency and Conservation with the total budget of VND 250 million) and VND 120 million by the local budget.

Photovoltaic and solar-thermal plants may meet most of the world’s demand for electricity by 2060 -- and half of all energy needs -- with wind, hydropower and biomass plants supplying much of the remaining generation, Cedric Philibert, senior analyst in the renewable energy division at the Paris-based agency, said in an Aug. 26 phone interview.

Worldwide wind power capacity reached 215 GW by the end of June 2011, 18.405 GW of which were added in the first six months of the year. This represents a 15% increase over the first half of 2010, when only 16 GW were added, according to WWEA.

Model LC-80LE632U 80 inch của Sharp dự kiến sẽ có mặt trên trường ngay trong tháng 10 với giá 5.499 USD.

NASA's solar-powered Juno spacecraft lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station this month to begin a five-year journey to Jupiter. Juno's detailed study of the largest planet in our solar system will help reveal Jupiter's origin and evolution.

Enel Green Power North America announces the development of the world's first solar geothermal hybrid power plant in Nevada (USA)

Eco Marine Power’s Aquarius system combines rigid sails with solar cells for auxiliary propulsion Japanese company Eco Marine Power has started detailed design of its wind and solar sail panel.

Santa Barbara’s Solar3D Inc. announced that it’s completed the design and is on track to complete a prototype of a “super-efficient” 3-D solar cell by the end of 2011. Holding out the promise of substantially increasing solar cell conversion efficiencies, the company believes its 3-D solar cell design “will dramatically change the economics of solar energy.”

As these economies were already being forced to cut back radically on clean energy funding before the current downturn, it is hard to see how they could do anything but cut back their clean energy investment even further. This could mean some schemes already under way are scrapped and others in the pipeline never leaving the drawing board.

Costs of manufacture of batteries and power trains of electric vehicles can be halved by 2018, if the gaps in the innovation chain can be closed. For reaching this objective, KIT scientists develop concrete, close-to-industry solutions for energy stores and power trains and combine them on the system level.

With support from the National Program on Energy Efficiency and Conservation and the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT), Viettronics Thuduc Limited Company (VTD), member unit of Vietnam Electronics and Informatics Corporation (VEIC), has developed and put into trial operation the first high-tech LED producing facility in Vietnam in Saigon hi-tech park.

During the dry season, to help power sector reduce power consumption during peak hours, some oil-powered generators have been used, especially during peak hours, to reduce the time of using the national grid. Specifically, 65% of devices have been separated from the grid and powered by generators.

Hydrogen makes a great fuel because of it can easily be converted to electricity in a fuel cell and because it is carbon free. The downside of hydrogen is that, because it is a gas, it can only be stored in high pressure or cryogenic tanks.

That Sai Gon Passenger Transport Co., Ltd is allowed to borrow the State with the interest rate of 0% and exempted from the tax of importing 50 CNG buses has laid the foundation for the development of green buses in Vietnam.

Scientists from China developed a fuel cell system that can both generate electricity from organic compounds and clean up wastewater.
