By 2018, the Dutch railway system will entirely run on the energy produced by wind turbines. Thousands of Megawatts and renewable energy.
An Australian start-up aims to produce it by 2016. Thanks to solar panels and batteries, Immortus doesn’t need to be recharged.
Building a house that generates the hydraulic and electrical energy it needs to be completely self-sufficient is finally possible. That’s what a team of Dutch researchers demonstrated by starting the Sustainer Homes project, the container house exclusively fuelled with renewable energy. It’s a mobile house of 30 square metres realised thanks to the recycling
Suntan is OK, but beware of stains and wrinkles. Eyes, décolletage and hands are the most affected body parts: let’s protect them without opting out all sun benefits. And let’s prepare a home-made cream!
Over the last few days, the windstorm Zeljko hit northern Europe with strong winds. In the south, meanwhile, the sun was high in the sky.

A solar concentrator makes photovoltaic panels transparent. It can be applied on different surfaces, from windows to smartphones glasses.
The use of renewable energy sources is increasing globally. 2014 recorded the highest number of wind and solar power plant installations.
According to a survey published by a European research team, it is possible to build wind farms on bridges and viaducts.
Ecuador is home to the world’s first airport to obtain LEED Gold Certification for its sustainable architecture.
