Speira’s new “transparent” melting furnace delivers more capacity, more recycling, precise insights and data collection in all process steps with 15 percent less energy.

I had the opportunity to visit a children’s health center located about 300 km away from Astana, on the shores of a beautiful lake. The center, which celebrated its 60th anniversary this year, has introduced green technologies, such as renewable energy and energy efficiency systems. It was inspiring to witness how such initiatives can tangibly improve sustainability while reducing environmental impacts.

Researchers at Rice University have found a new way to improve a key element of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, which convert heat into electricity via light. Using an unconventional approach inspired by quantum physics, Rice engineer Gururaj Naik and his team designed a thermal emitter that can deliver high efficiencies within practical design parameters.

Japan and Vietnam have deepened their cooperation based on Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) and issued carbon credits for nine new projects by the end of October.

A new commentary, published by members of the Energy Demand Changes Induced by Technological and Social Innovations (EDITS) network, coordinated by IIASA, highlights that switching the focus from how energy is supplied to how energy is consumed can be a more effective approach to reducing carbon emissions with the added benefit of improving wellbeing for all.

Most community buildings in England are lagging behind other non-domestic buildings in meeting upcoming energy efficiency standards, according to a newly published report.

A new analysis from CDP has revealed that almost half of companies globally use no renewable electricity, while more than nine in ten have no energy efficiency targets, thus missing opportunities for cost savings and enhanced resilience.

In a concerted effort to bolster energy efficiency and drive the green transition, the European Investment Bank Group (EIBG), the European Commission (EC), and the Solar Impulse Foundation (SIF) launched a new pilot initiative aimed at boosting energy efficiency investments for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The initiative, a key element of the EIB Group Strategic Roadmap 2024-2027, is designed to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of SMEs across Europe.

Energy efficiency is often neglected in key investment decisions, but the European Investment Bank and asset managers Aquila Capital are convinced there’s a positive business case to be made.

One year on from the historic global pledge at COP28 to double the rate of energy efficiency improvements by 2030, new analysis from the IEA shows that countries are not yet on track for this goal, requiring stronger action and cooperation to align with their stated ambitions.

ASEAN’s thriving industry sector faces a dual challenge of rapid growth and environmental responsibility. Learn how the synergy of energy efficiency and renewable energy can lead to sustainable industrial practices and a greener future for the region.

A new report by Apparel Impact Institute and Development Finance International Inc. says India needs $6.5 billion in financing to reduce its textile and apparel industry’s emissions by 45% by 2030 through renewable energy and energy efficiency interventions. While around $2.5 billion is available, there is still a $4 billion financing gap in India.

Ahead of COP28, a new report gives industries a roadmap to save 11% of global emissions by 2030 while saving $437 billion along the way. The report, named “The Case for Industrial Energy Efficiency” published by the Energy Efficiency Movement (EEM), outlines ten key actions that does not require new technologies or policy decisions, but promise to save emissions.

The World Bank announced the launch of an ambitious new regional initiative aimed at significantly accelerating energy efficiency to ensure secure, affordable, and clean energy supply across Europe and Central Asia.

Rice University researchers have made a groundbreaking advance with their electrochemical reactor, poised to significantly reduce energy consumption in direct air capture—the critical process of extracting carbon dioxide from our atmosphere.

ABB has opened a new €20 million injection molding manufacturing site at Evergem, near Ghent in Belgium, to meet the growing demand for safe, smart and sustainable electrification solutions in Europe.

Illinois implemented a custom energy code for buildings based on the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code this year. The state joins 13 others that have adopted minimum energy codes based on the 2021 IECC or its equivalent, as well as the U.S. Dept. of Energy which has put in place similar requirements for newly built and retrofitted buildings owned by the federal government.

Advocates say the tool required under the new law should make energy saving programs by Dominion Energy and Appalachian Power more transparent and effective.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of Korea has fully launched an energy efficiency rating system for electric vehicles, categorizing 278 models into five levels.
