Renewable energy resources have been high in demand, as the world races to reduce carbon emissions in order to prevent the rise of global temperatures. While ships were once the primary mode of international commerce, they have been less popular in contemporary times owing to
The world has been trying to harvest renewable energy for a while now. Solar energy and wind energy have become great reliable sources in order to reduce emissions generated by the combustion of fossil fuels. Recently, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed
Offshore wave energy conversion has been a pioneering field for quite some time now. German startup Sinn Power has recently developed a hybrid floating platform to generate energy. It combines wind turbines, solar panels, and wave energy harvesters to produce off-grid electricity for people living
The race to increase the renewable energy generation capacity has gone global in the past few years. Likewise, Indian subcontinent has a high potential for solar and wind power generation. According to a recent report by the National Institute of Wind Energy, the country’s cultivable
Ever since steam engines were replaced with electric trains, travelling by trains has easily been one of the most environmentally friendly mode of public transport. To take this eco-friendliness to highest level of e-mobility, Dutch railways network (NS) has turned all its electric trains into
Portable solar chargers for mobile devices are common, but they have a disadvantage: they are no good without sunlight. To change the game, Janulus, a Minnesota-based company, has come up with Trinity Portable Wind Turbine. Against company’s goal of raising $50,000 through Kickstater campaign, the project collected
As another giant leap in developing India’s renewable energy potential, the state of Tamil Nadu and SunEdison, global renewable energy development compay, have signed a MoU to develop 2 GW of wind and solar power projects in next five years with an expected investment of
Using viaducts as infrastructural frame for wind turbines was first discussed in an entry to a competition in 2011.
It is no secret that airplanes, much like cars, emit too many greenhouse gases. However, airports can take steps and make an effort to decrease their environmental footprints by adopting green building practices and recycling programs. An airport can lessen its impact on the environment
We’ve seen everything from carbon emitting steam engine trains to the recent electric ones that have proved to be a boon for the environment. Taking the green evolution a step further, this time around trains are all set to utilize wind energy. In an attempt
