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.

Canada's buildings sector is the third-largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions across the country. We must increase the scale and pace of retrofitting buildings across the country to make them more energy-efficient, increasing savings and reducing emissions.

A two-year dataset on a residential-to-office retrofit shows how low-energy and passive building systems can enhance performance in future projects, according to a paper published in Scientific Data.

Public bodies and Government Departments are 32.5% more energy efficient than in 2009.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory invented a new way to control how electricity moves in and out of a special material used in microelectronics. This technique is called “redox gating.”

Vietnam's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son expressed hopes of learning from European nations about carbon markets, international integration, and green hydrogen development. He emphasized the need for continued support in funding, technology, and training.

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.

Schneider Electric expects the reference designs to address the evolving demands of AI workloads while optimizing performance, scalability, and overall sustainability

Investments by the governments of Canada and Ontario through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) are resulting in over $16 million worth of energy cost savings projects to help food processing businesses increase energy efficiency and lower their costs.

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%.

Decision-makers may believe it’s prohibitively difficult to improve energy efficiency in health care, especially since many facilities never close. Here are some strategies to show it’s easier than they think.

Energy consumption will likely grow to meet supply if states don’t enact limits — and there are already precedents they can follow.

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.

The building sector in Moldova, consuming 53% of the nation’s energy, is dominated by aging structures lacking modern efficiency measures. At the International Forum in Chisinau, experts explored innovative solutions to retrofit these buildings and promote energy efficiency, driving Moldova toward a more sustainable future.

This technology is expected to pave the way for more efficient and optimized IoT environments.

An MIT team precisely controlled an ultrathin magnet at room temperature, which could enable faster, more efficient processors and computer memories.

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.

As a relentless heatwave drives electricity demand to record highs, South Korea’s business community has banded together to launch an energy conservation campaign.
