The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has released a new app, the Alternative Fueling Station Locator, listing the location and details of 15,000 alternative vehicle fueling stations across America.
Snowtown is a small rural community which is famous throughout Australia on account of how it once snowed there. Or possibly the place was simply named after a man called Thomas Snow. Either one. Land nearby is already the location of the imaginatively named wind farm Snowtown I, and is … [continued]
I had the good fortune of seeing NREL’s director, Dan Arvizu, give an optimistic renewable energy and cleantech presentation in Abu Dhabi in January. He certainly knows how to pack a presentation full of interesting charts. More recently, Dan gave a presentation in Colorado that I didn’t attend but have … [continued]
NREL’s simuwatt software could reduce the cost of commercial building energy audits up to 75% and help save millions annually through increased energy efficiency.
Originally published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory The Energy Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) has announced that a project at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is among 22 projects that will receive funding to develop transformational electric vehicle (EV) energy storage systems using innovative chemistries, … [continued]
Originally published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory Thirty clean energy companies, including seven companies based in Colorado, will present their business cases to a panel of investors and industry experts in Denver, Dec. 3-4, as the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) hosts its annual Industry Growth Forum. … [continued]
Originally published on the American Wind Energy Association website By Michael Goggin The Western U.S. could reap huge benefits in pollution savings and reduced spending on fossil fuels by installing more wind and solar power plants, according to a comprehensive new analysis released today by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory … [continued]
Originally published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory The Energy Department’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recently issued a new report,“Non-Hardware (‘Soft’) Cost-Reduction Roadmap for Residential and Small Commercial Solar Photovoltaics, 2013–2020”(PDF) funded by DOE’s SunShot Initiative and written by NREL and Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI). The report builds off … [continued]
A research team in Europe has achieved a world record-setting solar conversion efficiency of 44.7 percent, and assuming that higher efficiency translates into lower costs (someday), it’s yet another indicator that we’re only at the beginning of a long decline in the cost of solar power. Solar (and wind, for … [continued]
China’s solar cell manufacturing dominance is down more to its possession of a larger-scale manufacturing base — and the supply-chain benefits that accompany it — than it is to cheaper labor and government support, according to new research from the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and … [continued]
