The lower efficiencies mean that it takes years for homeowners and businesses to recoup the money they invest in solar power systems. If the efficiencies were higher, that time for return on investment would be slashed, people would be able to cover more of their power loads with renewable energy and solar power would be much more enticing to people and corporations.

The testing equipment System for energy saving features (energy efficiency) of air conditioning is funded by JICA and installed in the new experiment headquarters of QUATEST 3 at Cat Lai Industrial Zone, Ho Chi Minh City.

This information was released in the press conference with the participation of the Ministry of Construction, Vietnam Water Supply Association, the South East Asian Water Utilities Network, and Science and Technology Union of Renewable Energy.

The international exhibition on energy saving and renewable energy is an opportunity for enterprises to introduce their wind, solar, geothermal, biomass energy technologies; to advertise and make links with businesses through seminars.

A new report out today shows the cable, satellite and telco service providers — companies such as Comcast, Dish Network and AT&T that bring pay TV into our homes — have begun to really focus on the amount of energy consumed by the almost 200 million set-top boxes installed across America.

Fraunhofer researchers have developed a new recycling process for this materially unused carbon resource: They successfully produced fuel and specialty chemicals from these exhaust gases on a laboratory scale.

A team of researchers, including Kyle Brinkman of Clemson University, developed a material that acts as a superhighway for ions. The material could make batteries more powerful, change how gaseous fuel is turned into liquid fuel and help power plants burn coal and natural gas more efficiently.

A new method of converting squalene, which is produced by microalgae, to gasoline or jet fuel, has been developed by the research group of Professor Keiichi Tomishige and Dr. Yoshinao Nakagawa from Tohoku University's Department of Applied Chemistry, and Dr. Hideo Watanabe from the University of Tsukuba.

The project has completed the new construction of 156,45km transmission line and renovation of 99,43km of medium voltage line; new construction of 182,51km and renovation of 63,68km low voltage line; construction of 128 substations with a capacity of 4905 kVA and installation of 2,862 electric meters.

The Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO) yesterday approved the Energy Efficiency Plan (EEP) 2015-36, which aims to lower Thailand's energy-intensity rate from 25 per cent as stated in the initial 2010 plan to 30 per cent, saving an estimated Bt8.5 trillion.

The Ministry of Energy with support from the ECOWAS Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) on 12 August, 2015 opened a two day workshop to validate the National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) and National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) for the Gambia.

A new app that can reportedly cut household energy use by 10% is being rolled out to 200,000 Swedish homes.

A new contender for Britain's greenest home has been unveiled in North Yorkshire.

UK-designed turbines aim to harness tidal energy to produce cheaper electricity − without endangering marine life, reports Climate News Network.

Genesis Energy announced its last two coal-burning electricity generators at Huntly Power Station will be permanently withdrawn from the market by December 2018, signalling the end of large scale coal-fired generation in New Zealand.

Bộ trưởng Bộ Năng lượng và Tài nguyên New Zealand, ông Simon Brudgets, cho biết quyết định loại bỏ than đá là một tín hiệu mang tính thời đại.

The metal components that make up industrial machines are subject to tremendous wear and tear. But a newly patented technology by Distinguished Fellow Ali Erdemir and his team at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory could greatly extend the lifetime of mechanical parts.

After years of research by Intel and Micron Technology, the first new memory technology in 25 years has been announced. Called 3D XPoint it combines the best of DRAM and NAND (Flash) and promises to change computer designs.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is investing $63 million (£41) in 264 energy efficiency and renewable projects across the country.

London Mayor Boris Johnson has launched a tool for public sector organisations to make homes more energy efficient.
