![]() Bonn, Germany (SPX) May 06, 2010 Renewable electricity can be transformed into a substitute for natural gas. Until now, electricity was generated from gas. Now, a German-Austrian cooperation wants to go in the opposite direction. In the future, these researchers and entrepreneurs would like to store surplus electricity - such as from wind power or solar energy - as climate-neutral methane, and store it in existing gas storage facilities and the natural gas network. Throughout the world, electricity generation is based more and mo ... read more |

Latin renewable energy gets a cash boost![]() Renewable energy development in Latin America and other Western Hemisphere countries will receive a major cash boost over the coming years to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, the Inter-American Development Bank said. The new incentive for renewable energy comes at the same time as governments in Latin America - Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico and Venezuela - have laid out plans for increase ... more UQAM Researcher Solves Two 20-Year-Old Problems Of Solar Cells ![]() Montreal, Canada (SPX) Apr 14, 2010 Thanks to two technologies developed by Professor Beno�t Marsan and his team at the Universite du Quebec � Montreal (UQAM) Chemistry Department, the scientific and commercial future of solar cells could be totally transformed. Professor Marsan has come up with solutions for two problems that, for the last twenty years, have been hampering the developmen ... more Did a global ocean save Earth from the cold ![]() Four billion years ago, our then stripling Sun radiated only 70 to 75 percent as much energy as it does today. Other things on Earth being equal, with so little energy reaching the planet's surface, all water on the planet should been have frozen. But ancient rocks hold ample evidence that the early Earth was awash in liquid water - a planetary ocean of it. So something must have compensated for ... more |

![]() Bonn, Germany (SPX) Apr 13, 2010 Two trends are emerging for future renewable electricity. In the first, local solar, wind or biomass plants will produce more energy for small communities or single homes. In the second, large amounts of electricity will be generated by solar power stations in desert areas or extensive offshore wind farms, and delivered over long distances to densely populated areas. But how can electrical power be delivered over long distances without large losses? The solution to this problem is direct cur ... read more |
