Eco Wave Power has recently completed construction and subsequent testing of its first sea wave energy generation models, known as the “Wave Clapper” and the “Power Wing”. The testing took place in the wave pool of the Hydro-Mechanical National Institute of Kiev and provided Eco Wave Power the perfect environment … [continued]
I go through dozens of sources and thousands of articles so you don’t have to 😀 Here’s some cool clean energy, EV, and LED project news from the past week or so: 1. 3 New Wind Projects in U.S. Order Wind Turbines “Vestas has received a 59 MW order from … [continued]
Tidal power on an as-yet unheard of scale is at the center of a hugely ambitious plan to redevelop the energy & transportation infrastructure of the Thames Estuary. The 50-billion pound proposal calls for construction of a new tidal barrier with in-stream tidal power turbines capable of powering some 70,000 homes, as well as construction of a new airport to replace Heathrow and high-speed rail links to ports, the Channel Tunnel and England’s North and Midlands.
Scalable and made from recycled materials, British designer Phil Pauley’s hybrid solar-wave power system generates clean, renewable electricity from solar energy and wave motion.
Marine power – generating clean, renewable electricity primarily from ocean waves and tidal currents – has been high up on the energy policy and political agenda across the UK, particularly in Scotland. Proposed increases in government investments and subsidies is boosting investment, start-ups and attracting growing interest on the part of multinational energy and engineering companies.
OTE Corporation and Bahamas Electricity Company, announced that they signed a memo of understanding for the further development of the world’s first two commercial ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) plants, sited in the Bahamas. More on OTEC…
Here are some more top cleantech stories of the week. Enjoy!
Today is world water day. We’ve written quite a number of posts on different ways water is connected to cleantech and clean energy. Rather than write a whole new post on one or two aspects of this, I’ve decided to do a compilation piece. The following are articles on CleanTechnica (and a few from our sister site Planetsave) on some of the connections between cleantech and water.
Only after I snoozed my way through high school science class did science become more compelling than science fiction. Back then, there was just no compelling reason to pay attention. Just a browzy fly buzzing in a smelly boring lab full of long agreed-upon dull principles that were really neither … [continued]
Editors Note: This is a guest post by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. See his last post for us on EV charging stations on Gas 2.0. Today, San Francisco took a meaningful step toward turning the promise of renewable ocean energy into reality. We submitted a preliminary permit application to the … [continued]
