The streets of Paris will be fitted with 90 new charging points for electric vehicles (EVs) as part of Renault-Nissan Alliance's pledge to transport delegates around the city during the upcoming UN climate talks.

Using a clean and renewable source of light, such as this solar LED lamp, can help families avoid both the high cost and the dirty effects of using kerosene or candles for illumination.

The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority just unveiled a new $470 million waste-to-energy system that converts solid sludge – otherwise known as human poop – into clean, renewable energy. D.C. Water is the first utility in North America to use a Norwegian thermal hydrolysis system in an urban treatment plant, and according to officials, the waste-to-energy system is the largest in the world.

The new Burton Brewery energy centre opened by Molson Coors has delivered £750,000 of cost savings in its first year of operation.

Climeworks was founded in 2009 by Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher. These two young minds knew that CO₂ was harmful to the atmosphere and in turn the world needed to find a way to remove it from the air, or as much as they could.

Energy efficiency is fast becoming a priority for a number of design and manufacturing industries. Taking energy from renewable sources, recycling existing energy, or using components that don’t need much juice are becoming popular options for organizations looking to cut energy costs in their production and other facilities. There has been significant research in a number of areas to achieve these goals that can use their own energy or don’t consume much to operate.

Recently, SolarCity announced it will begin manufacturing the “world’s most efficient solar panels” at its factory in Buffalo, New York, starting in 2016. It claims it has designed a panel that converts 22.1% of sunlight into electricity.

Eight of the world's 10 most polluting countries are expected to double their collective renewable energy capacity in the next 15 years, a new study from the World Resources Institute (WRI) has found.

Every year, the information technology sector spends almost $7 billion on electricity costs, and much of that money goes to cooling computer processing units (CPUs) in data centers. At the Energy Department’s Sandia National Laboratories, researchers have developed an innovative new air-cooling technology - the Sandia Cooler - that improves the way heat is transferred in computers and microelectronics, significantly reducing the energy needed to cool CPUs in data centers.

Electrical and computer engineers at North Carolina State University have developed a new technique for creating less-expensive, low-power embedded systems -- the computing devices found in everything from thermostats to automobiles.
