A new world efficiency record has been set for thin film silicon solar cells by EPFL’s Institute of Micro-engineering, reaching an impressive 10.7%.

But $7bn raised in final quarter of last year fuelling hopes for a better performance in 2013.

Retailer becomes the first supermarket to deploy GE’s new LED lighting system, promising energy savings of 59 per cent.

Bloomberg New Energy Finance reports smart grid investment soared seven per cent last year and is set to continue climbing

Project to generate hydrogen by replicating photosynthesis holds out promise of highly efficient green fuel UK scientists are hoping to harness the process plants use to turn sunlight into energy to produce a new highly efficient and renewable source of zero-carbon fuel.

Scientists based at Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, have set a new efficiency record for thin-film copper indium gallium (di)selenid (or CIGS) based solar cells on flexible polymer foils, reaching an efficiency of 20.4 percent

A researcher at the Universidad politécnica de Madrid (UPM, Spain) has patented a nuclear fusion reactor by inertial confinement that, apart from be used to generate electric power in plants, can be applied to propel ships.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) on Sunday launched the world's first atlas on clean energy which will offer open-access information on countries' renewable energy potential.

Renewable energy solutions like wind and solar operate on nature's timetable. When the sun blazes or when the breeze blows, power is plentiful -- but not necessarily at the moments when consumers need it, like on a hot, calm summer night.

The sun ejects a continuous flow of electrically charged particles and magnetic fields in the form of the solar wind -- and this wind is hotter than it should be. A new study of data obtained by European Space Agency's Cluster spacecraft may help explain the mystery.

Google announced Wednesday it has invested 200 million U.S. dollars in a wind farm in west Texas, which will become a part of the company's 1 billion U.S. dollars' renewable energy portfolio.

Under new European Union rules to combat pollution, trucks and buses rolling off assembly lines this year will produce significantly less harmful exhaust fumes.

General Electric Global Research has put together a team of researchers who have accomplished a milestone in the reduction of the price of zero emission buses, by using GE’s new Durathon battery together with a hydrogen fuel cell and a lithium battery.

The Abu Dhabi-based International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) said Saturday the six GCC countries' returns through renewable energy integration could hit 200 billion U.S. dollars by 2030.

Renewable energy developers will be offered a clearer and specific mechanism for setting up electricity purchasing prices of their projects in Vietnam.

California just recently passed the milestone of 1 GW of solar power production (in August). And now it has just surpassed another milestone — it nearly reached that peak August generation level during the week of the Winter Solstice, which is the least-sunny time of the year, setting a new winter solar power generation record.

Renewable energy could fully power a large electric grid 99.9 percent of the time by 2030 at costs comparable to today's electricity expenses, according to new research by the University of Delaware and Delaware Technical Community College.

An insight into the properties of fullerene is set to open the door to a new class of electronic acceptors which can be used to build better and cheaper organic solar cells.

The Australian Government announced last week that CSIRO would be leading a new solar research initiative worth over $87 million AUD, an initiative which aims to lower the cost of solar thermal power from 25 cents a kilowatt hour down to 10 cents/kWh.

Nature generously gives a gift for the humans on this earth a source of "free" fuel, a tremendous renewable energy resource. It is the wind, or wind energy.
