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 perfect condition for Germany’s renewables, given that northern Germany is home to the majority of its wind turbines, whilst southern regions are home to numerous solar power plants.
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.
2020, the year of the EU climate and energy package is round the corner. The climate package aims to reduce greenhouse gases emissions by 20%, improve energy efficiency by 20% and raise energy consumption from renewable sources to 20%. The average level of CO2 emissions of a new car must be limited to 95 grams and drivers
365 turbine eoliche che a regime produrranno un quinto di tutta l’elettricità del Paese africano. Il progetto supera in dimensioni il parco eolico di Tarfaya, Marocco.
Denmark has produced so much electricity from renewable sources to be able to sell it to neighbouring countries, helping the entire European continent in the objective of reducing, to zero, CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. The extraordinary fact took place in the – unusually windy – day of Thursday 9 July, when Denmark succeeded in
Bikes perfectly match with solar power. Thanks to SolaRoad, Holland paved the way to solar cycle route. SolaRoad generates solar power through solar panels replacing tarmac and is proving to be more efficient than expected. “We didn’t “expect a yield as high as this so quickly,” said Sten de Wit, SolaRoad spokesman. Opened few months ago, the solar cycle route
Si chiama solar cooling ed è una tecnologia che sfrutta l’energia solare per produrre aria fredda. A Trieste un progetto pilota raffresca il Science Park.
