America’s energy use plummets as shutdowns cause power consumption to fall

April 16, 2020 -

According to the STEO, the United States' total power consumption for the year could go down by as much as three percent compared to 2019 before rising back up by only one percent in 2020. Despite this, one segment of the energy industry looks to make significant gains this year.The commercial sector has the biggest declines, but residential consumption could still fall

The STEO projected that the commercial sector would see the greatest reductions in power consumption....

Scientists use caffeine to give solar cells a unique energy boost

October 07, 2019 -

Researchers reported that coffee's primary stimulant increased the efficiency of perovskite photovoltaic cells, an alternative approach to solar power. When bolstered by caffeine, perovskite solar panels may match the performance of their more expensive conventional silicon counterparts.

The project received support from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Chinese investment company Solargiga Energy. They published their findings in the scientific ...

Next-gen solar cells use bacteria that convert light into energy

September 21, 2018 -

As the building blocks that make up solar panels, solar cells covert light into an electrical current. “Biogenic” solar cells made using living organisms aren’t a new concept, but this novel iteration sets itself apart by producing a very powerful current. Best of all, it works just as well under dim light conditions as it does on a bright, sunny day. In these cells, the bacterium’s dye is excited by light to a point where it releases electrons that generate electricity.

Plant physiologist: Use plants to reduce indoor pollution and save energy

May 30, 2018 -

“For most of us plants are just a decorative element, something aesthetic, but they are also something else,” plant physiologist Frederico Brilli said.

Plants are so much more than their appearance. The use of plants indoors can improve air quality in different ways. Firstly, they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis. Because of their ability to transpire water vapor through their tiny leaf pores, they also increase humidity. Lastly, they can passively ...

Rapid growth of global energy use to create dirty, polluted planet

November 15, 2006 - Rapid growth of global energy use to create dirty, polluted planet

Wednesday, November 15, 2006 by: Jessica FraserTags: global warming, clean energy, air pollution6The IEA report forecasts a 53 percent increase in global energy use by 2030, which will be fueled largely by dirty fossil fuels such as coal. Such growth in fossil fuel consumption will result in a 55 percent increase in carbon emissions, which could in turn cause irreparable environmental damage, ...

El Salvador plans to use geothermal energy from volcanoes for bitcoin mining

June 17, 2021 -

Bukele announced his move on Twitter at 1:35 a.m. Thursday, June 10, just hours after El Salvador became the first country to authorize bitcoin as a legal tender.

"I've just instructed the president of @LaGeoSV (our state-owned geothermal electric company) to put up a plan to offer facilities for bitcoin mining with very cheap, 100% clean, 100% renewable, 0 emissions energy from our volcanoes," Bukele tweeted.

In another tweet, Bukele said the country's engineers ...

More than 40% of teens who use energy drinks have experienced adverse effects

February 05, 2018 -

New research revealed that teenagers who consume energy drinks experience an adverse effect. The study was carried out by a team of researchers from Chapman University in the U.S. who assessed how many energy drinks teenagers consumed, how frequently they drank it, when they started drinking it, why they drank it, and what influenced their preference of brands.

The study involved 192 individuals between the ages 13 and 19 years who had used emergency department services for ...

Energy efficient, micro-combined heat and power systems now available for residential use

February 07, 2007 - Energy efficient, micro-combined heat and power systems now available for residential use

Wednesday, February 07, 2007 by: Beau HodaiTags: clean energy, micro-CHP, residential powerThe technology was developed in 2000 by Climate Energy, a Massachusetts-based company, and is now completing its trial testing period. Basically, �the micro-combined heat and power system�, or micro-CHP replaces an old-fashioned furnace and harvests energy produced while a natural gas-burning ...

Switzerland plans to temporarily limit electric vehicle use this winter due to energy shortage

December 08, 2022 - energy use.

Switzerland's emergency response to a widespread energy crisis would be implemented in tiers – emergency and crisis – and would include three levels of restrictions for the first tier and two levels in the second. Each stage would be triggered depending on the level of power supplies available in the country.

In the lowest level of the emergency tier, public buildings would be restricted from heating their spaces to no more than 20 degrees ...

1 in 4 Brits won’t use their heaters this winter amid skyrocketing energy prices

September 01, 2022 -

This statistic illustrates just how badly people are suffering in the face of multiple economic crises. The Telegraph reports that while 23 percent of people in the UK won’t use their heating if energy prices continue to rise, the figure climbs to 27 percent among those with children under the age of 18.

In another concerning statistic, 11 percent of respondents said that they would take out a loan to cover their energy costs; 17 percent of those with children under ...

Zinc battery breakthrough may allow homes to efficiently store energy for off-grid use

October 19, 2017 -

It is a beautiful example of cutting the Gordian knot. Senior Researcher Associate Gautam G. Yadav and his team applied a new interpretation to the old chemistry behind conventional household batteries. As he explains it, “a new layered crystal structure of manganese dioxide is used in this chemistry, which is intercalated with copper ions. This makes it rechargable to its theoretical capacity for a significant number of cycles.”

Yadav is referring to an interesting ...

Sustainable energy? Individual EV charging stations use equivalent power of 280 homes every single hour

November 20, 2023 -

Running vehicles on electric rather than gas was supposed to help conserve energy while saving the planet, but the video in question, which you can watch below, explains why this might not be what is actually happening every time an EV owner recharges a vehicle.

"I think I'm just doing a quick little video here just to give people an idea of how much energy it takes to charge an electric vehicle," the man in the video states.

"I'm at Electrify America. This is ...

“Solar flow battery” soaks up sunlight and stores it as energy for on-demand use

December 06, 2018 -

The Science Daily article explained that the dual-purpose battery can one day provide a steady and reliable source of electrical power to isolated areas. Not only will it provide a clean source of electricity, it can also provide power when there is no sunlight.

Doubling the number of trees in major cities would reduce air pollution and energy use, study finds

January 24, 2018 - energy use, and purchasing power. With these, they discovered that every city could possibly host 20 percent more coverage of forest canopy.

Even so, city planners and authorities have to change their view of the natural resources available to cities before residents can benefit from the effects of more trees. Metropolitan areas will be healthier and more sustainable if fewer cities depend on nature outside urban areas and focus more on conserving nature within ...

Research finds our brains don’t use as much energy as previously believed, when compared to other species

December 13, 2017 -

To determine how humans and animals compare in terms of brain energy uptake, Boyer and Harrington first measured the bony canals that enclose cranial arteries. These blood vessels serve as the routes through which energy travels to the brain and delivers glucose, a sugar that helps the brain operate normally. The obtained measurements were coupled with brain glucose uptake valuations and internal skull volume estimates, which the researchers used in their examination of seven ...
