On April 22 (Earth Day), the Geothermal Energy Association will host the GEA International Geothermal Showcase, bringing together representatives from 34 countries and representing more than half of all geothermal projects worldwide.
“The International Showcase is the perfect opportunity for investors
IBC SOLAR AG, a leader in photovoltaic systems, has begun construction on a 5.5MW photovoltaic (PV) plant in Bhadla, in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Bhadla marks the first multi-megawatt plant in India that the company is realising as an EPC contractor (engineering, procurement, construction) in cooperation
It takes a lot of energy to keep the lights on as you greedily pile ¢59 kitchen dongles and weird cookies into that blue bag, which is why Ikea is making a push to offset its total energy consumption by 2020. This week, it took a big step towards doing so by buying a wind farm in Illinois.
Incredibly,

Photovoltaics specialist BELECTRIC OPV and construction paint and insulation system manufacturer DAW SE (Deutsche Amphibolin-Werke) have joined forces to work on the integration of cutting-edge organic photovoltaics (OPV) into different construction product-lines and their respective components. The department
The Energy Department today announced $4 million to engage America’s research universities in the effort to accelerate the development of the emerging marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) energy industry in the United States. This funding will support high-impact research projects designed to enable the capture of
Perpetua thermoelectric generator alongside a wireless sensor by GE Sensing and Inspection Technology
This year's IDTechEx event on energy harvesting and storage was held in Berlin, Europe. Following attendee feedback and a successful introduction of parallel tracks on the topic of the Internet of Things (IoT) in Santa Clara, California at the end of 2013, the event saw the transformation of the wireless sensor
Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg with their Solar Impulse endeavor,
ABB, a leading power and automation technology group, announced it will support Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg in their attempt to fly around the world in a solar powered airplane in 2015.
The first-ever flight through the night with a solar airplane as well as record-breaking missions across
In support of President Obama's all-of-the-above energy strategy, the Energy Department today awarded more than $3 million to Connecticut-based FuelCell Energy for a project that could increase U.S. competitiveness in the fuel cell market and give businesses more affordable, cleaner power options. This project
The 2014 SunShot Grand Challenge Summit is only six weeks away! SunShot is excited to announce our thought-provoking lineup of Grand Challenge Breakout Sessions.
Grand Challenge Breakout Sessions:

Moxa, a leader in embedded computing solutions for renewable energy solutions, announced today that it has collaborated with the SunSpec Alliance to host the 2014 Solar Securitization & Grid Control Symposium. The one day event will be held at Moxa headquarters located at 601 Valencia Avenue, Brea, California,
Lignins designed to easily degrade have been engineered into the vascular tissues of leaves and wood of poplar trees
Wood is great for building and heating homes, but it’s the bane of biofuels. When converting plants to fuels, engineers must remove a key component of wood, known as lignin, to get to the sugary cellulose that’s fermented into alcohols and other energy-rich compounds. That’s costly because it normally
World Cup Solar Power Challenge
SCIGRIP, a global supplier of smart adhesive solutions, has announced it is sponsoring the Polish Green Solar Team in the DONG World Cup Solar Power Challenge 2014, taking place in Holland this summer. Participants must complete the 150-mile (250km) staged course from June 28th -- July 5th in highly customized
Martin Schulz, Infineon Technologies
The classical, centralized power supply grids today face a transition into a so-called smart grid. This smart grid can be understood as a system of systems or the sum of interlinked minigrids with massively decentralized energy generation, storage and consumption. Though today’s large-scale power plants will
The Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy offers free webinars on subjects from adopting the latest energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies to training for the clean energy workforce. Advanced registration is typically required, but you can also watch archived webinars and browse previously
The fifth annual Energy Harvesting & Storage 2014 will provides insight into energy harvesting technologies, case studies and markets, ranging from consumer electronics and sensors all the way to vehicles, building and industrial automation.
Best Technical Development
The Smart Grid Track at Advanced Energy 2014 examines the future of electricity generation and distribution from microgrids to utility-scale systems, and the integration of renewable energy sources. The Manufacturing Energy Efficiency session explores process-related technologies that reduce both energy consumption
RGGI Auction Indicates Renewed Northeast Carbon Market
Last month, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) held the first carbon allowance auction under the new Model Rule. Auction prices reached record levels and high market participation and allowance demand exhausted the 5 million
Dr Ferdi Schüth of the German Research Foundation
In this podcast Dr Ferdi Schüth of the German Research Foundation talks to Alix Paultre of Power Systems Design about the future of Germany's energy infrastructure, especially in the areas of grid stability and managing the variable supply from alternate and renewable energy sources.
