From the aircraft taking you on your next trip, to the buildings you work in – learn how energy efficiency is at work all around you.

The EEC welcomed the release of the NSW Consumer Energy Strategy, which includes a $239 million Home Energy Saver Program and a commitment to introduce disclosure of home energy performance at point of sale or lease.

To limit global warming to 1.5°C, we need to cut emissions by about 7% annually. Right now, emissions are rising by 1.5% each year. Energy-related emissions contribute to more than 80% of this global total. And although renewable energy production has more than doubled in the last decade, it still makes up only slightly over 13% of total energy use, up from 9% in 2011.

Nova Scotia is unveiling new details on its planned public housing project. It says the bulk of the new homes will be coming to the Halifax area. As Skye Bryden-Blom reports, it’s also introducing 25 new modular units as it looks to bolster its affordable housing stock.

In order to protect the environment and green the chemical industry, in recent years, Vietnam Chemical Group has implemented many solutions.

Feeling anxious every time you receive your utilities bill? It may be time to reassess your electricity usage. Here are some energy-saving tips to help you maximise your electricity savings.

With insufficient awareness of the benefits of energy audits, many businesses only conduct energy audits as a response to government requests, instead of considering them as a solution to save energy, reduce production costs, protect the environment, and move towards sustainable development.

In March 2024, MEPs adopted plans, already agreed upon with Council, to help reduce energy consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions from the buildings sector.

Energy efficiency has been recognised as a key piece of the net-zero puzzle but faster uptake of existing technologies is needed.

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.”
