Here’s the exciting monthly EV & hybrid sales update from EV Obsession. Enjoy! The numbers are in for “mass-market” 100% electric vehicle (EV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and conventional hybrid electric vehicle sales. Well, the numbers are in from everyone but Tesla and Fiat. (The Tesla Model S total … [continued]
CleanTechnica has just passed a pretty major milestone. We just published our 10,000th article! If you haven’t kept up with changes in the media industry, I can tell you that the world of media is a very challenging world these days. Publishing has become completely democratized and “free.” You, your grandma, and … [continued]
This article has been reposted from Green Building Elements.An entirely new strategy for engineering graphene-based supercapacitors has been developed by researchers at Monash University — potentially leading the way to powerful next-generation renewable energy storage systems. The new strategy also opens up the possibility of using graphene-based supercapacitors in electric … [continued]
It looks like black is the new black when it comes to solar cell efficiency. A team of researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has come up with a way to increase solar cell efficiency, by creating “black metals” etched with nanoscale structures that harvest energy from wavelengths all … [continued]
A potentially “world-changing” technology has been developed by researchers at the University of Nottingham — a means of enabling any type of crop to take nitrogen from the air. In other words, an effective means of phasing out expensive and environmentally damaging nitrogen fertilizers. As it stands now, most crops … [continued]
This article originally published on RenewEconomy AGL Energy, one of the big three power utilities in Australia, says that 9,000MW of fossil-fuel baseload capacity needs to be taken out of the national electricity market (NEM) to bring it back into balance.

This article was first published on EV Obsession. Nissan and GM (or the consumer who buy their electric vehicles) couldn’t make this sales rivalry more interesting. In June, the Chevy Volt inched ahead of the Nissan Leaf in 2013 sales. It was 9855 vs 9839 at the end of the … [continued]
Solar energy could supply one-third of all electrical demands in the Western US by 2050 while massively cutting emissions – if DOE’s SunShot Initiative succeeds, according to a new report from University of California, Berkeley researchers.
Here’s more cleantech news from around. Well, actually, it’s just solar & wind news today. Solar How Much Do Solar Panels Cost? Solectria Renewables to Power the Largest College Solar Installation in North America On Rooftops, There Is A Growing Rival For Utility Companies PV Service Program Training Coming To … [continued]
A new method for producing “electronic ink” — a specialized form of ink from non-toxic nanometer-sized crystals of silicon — has been developed by researchers from the University of Minnesota’s College of Science and Engineering and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The researchers say that their new technology brings the … [continued]
