( Nanowerk News ) University of Queensland researchers have made a ground-breaking discovery that produces highly efficient miniature crystals which could
...
revolutionise the way we harvest and use solar energy. Professor Max Lu, from UQ's Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), said they were one step closer to the holy grail of cost-effective solar energy with their discovery. Professor Lu, who was recently awarded a second prestigious Australian Research Council Federation Fellowship, said it wasn't just renewable energy where this research could be applied. Professor Lu said it would be about five years for the water and air pollution applications to be commercially available, and about 5 to 10 years for the solar energy conversion using such crystals. He said the breakthrough technology was a great example of cross-discipline collaborations with work by Professor Sean Smith's Computational Molecular Science group at AIBN, who conducted key computational st

June 27, 2008 Lanco Group to foray into wind energy business BL reported that Lanco Group has firmed up its plans to foray into wind energy with an initial
...
investment of nearly INR 500 crore. It is planning to set up a wind turbine manufacturing unit in Puducherry and has also set its eyes to establish wind farms in India, the US and Europe. Mr L Madhusudhana Rao chairman of Lanco Group said that the technology aspects would be worked out in technical collaboration from German companies. The group is targeting a commercial launch of wind energy by September 2009. He added that "Our target is to establish a total of 1,000 MW installed capacity. The group is also exploring options in solar and nuclear energy fields. It has a presence in the hydro power sector, in which it is implementing 5 projects with capacity of 742 MW, two of them have been registered as clean development mechanism projects with the Geneva based United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. These two project

Turkey is set to double the amount of its electricity supplied by wind power with the construction of the biggest wind farm to date. The wind farm in southeast Turkey will have an installed capacity of 135 megawatts (MW) when it is completed in 2009.
"We have terrific geographic conditions for solar and wind power in Turkey. Exploiting it is already economically and technically possible, but the problem is that the government favors fossil fuels and nuclear energy."
-- Tanay Sdk Uyar, Vice President, World Wind Energy Association
General Electric (GE) Energy will be supplying 52 of its latest generation of turbines with a capacity of 2.5 MW each.
"Turkey is a fast growing and very interesting market for the wind business of GE," Frank Hoersting, Communications Lea

its feet on transitioning away from fossil fuels, according to a pair of reports released here this week. A worker stands near a vehicle planting a wind turbine at a wind farm in Yinchuan, Northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, in this photo taken on October 19, 2007. [Xinhua] Nations across the globe invested over $50 billion collectively into renewable energy conversion last year, and in 2007 China alone is expected to account for some $10 billion of investment, explains "Powering China's Development: The Role of Renewable Energy," released Wednesday by the Worldwatch Institute, an independent Washington, DC research group. With this large financial commitment, China looks poised to pass solar and wind energy leaders in Europe and North America and in the next three years become the world's leader in renewable energy,

AUSTRALIA is in the middle of a revolution in energy policy driven by the threat of dangerous climate change.
Whatever the outcome of the looming federal
...
election, Australia will have a national emissions trading scheme operating from around 2011, based on economic analysis to be completed next year.
But it is generally agreed that trading alone will not be enough to deliver the deep cuts in greenhouse gases required both here and overseas.
Along with the debate over privatisation of government-owned energy generation and retail assets, the next big climate change policy debate confronting Australia will be about shaping a comprehensive industry strategy for energy.
The stakes are high. Energy users have already forecast that up to $75 billion of new-generation infrastructure will be needed by 2030 to achieve emissions cuts and increase supply to sustain economic growth. Business accepts the change, but wants it at the lowest possible cost and has started to weigh in to the debate.

The penetration of renewable energy into the marketplace has been small, held back principally by their higher cost relative to fossil energy. RAND assessed the potential impacts on U.S. consumer energy expenditures and national CO 2 emissions of producing 25 percent of U.S. electric power and motor-vehicle transportation fuels from renewable resources by the year 2025. The baseline for the comparisons was expenditures and CO 2 emissions in 2025 as drawn from the reference-case tables of the Energy Information Administration's 2006 Annual Energy Outlook .

HALF MOON BAY, CALIFORNIA -- When Tony Perkins, author of The Internet Bubble , hosts a venture conference featuring a panel about "Going Green," it underscores

that investors smell money in funding cleaner energy technologies. In fact, enough investors have been chasing clean-tech investments that the talk is already turning to a coming shakeout. Much of the clean-tech buzz at Perkins' conference for investors and entrepreneurs, Venture Summit West , centered on whether or not venture investors would see returns on the billions they've already invested in biofuels, solar power and wind farms. "In 2008, you're going to see a lot of (clean-tech) venture flameouts," said Erik Straser, general partner at Mohr Davidow, which is heavily invested in clean tech. "Fundamentally the market drivers are very strong for these companies, but companies are going to have trouble in the market execution. And a lot of capital has gone into a lot of companies." Still, venture capitalists are fundamental
