Green Tech News- Dennis Whittle: Growing AND GreeningHistorically, richer countries have grown by relying on power sources and technologies that generate massive amounts of the greenhouse gases that are causing global warming. This has posed a serious dilemma: should poorer countries stop improving the lives of their people to avoid generating the additional greenhouse gases that would cause massive damage to […]

- SUGAR Volt: Boeing Team Designs Aircraft That Burns 70% Less FuelWe recently reported on a program led by NASA that was aiming to green the future of air transportation, and now Boeing -- along with their teammates General Electric and Georgia Tech -- are following suit with their just-revealed innovative SUGAR Volt concept which is driven by an electric battery gas turbine hybrid propulsion system that can reduce overall […]
- Ecuador National Park Uses Motion Sensors To Photograph Rare Species (VIDEO)In this video from Reuters, Yasuni National Park in Ecuador has installed cameras equipped with heat and motion sensors to photograph unsuspecting wildlife that walk into view. Using them to capture over 30,000 images, researchers have discovered new and rare species in this particular area of the Amazon. The nearly 2.5-million-acre park is home to thousands […]
- Bob Ostertag: Floods, Fires, Hipsters: Mission AccomplishedAnd so it unfolds: Record flooding in Pakistan displaces millions, kills 1200, and cholera is starting to spread. It is 106.3°F in the Ukraine. Russian President Dmitri Medvedev reports that in 14 regions of Russia "practically everything is burning." A drought accompanying the heat wave has ruined 25 million acres of grain (about the size of Kentu […]
- Poo Power: VW Bug Runs On Methane Bio-Gas Or The Waste of 70 HomesPOO POWER! GENeco, a waste treatment company in Bristol, UK set out to prove that bio-gas could be a reliable alternative transportation fuel, so they imported special equipment to help process their waste and upgraded a VW Bug to run on methane.

- Julia Moulden: Yes, You Can Save the World at WorkAs much of the world suffers through a stifling summer, one corporate team is keeping close watch on the solar panels on their building's roof -- which quadrant is producing the most energy? It's a sign of things to come, and I want to share their story. But, first, a little background. When I began writing about the New Radicals, people who are pu […]
- Smart Grids, Smarter H20, and Mad ScienceAs IBM works towards smarter cities and a smarter planet, they've got to cover all of their bases: this means factoring in everything from water conservation, to health care, to energy and smart grids. But what is a smart grid anyway? While it sounds good to us we're not entirely sure what it is, so we checked in with IBM's resident mad scient […]
- Louis Palmer: Solar Taxi Driver Plans Zero Emissions Race Around The WorldGENEVA — A Swiss inventor who last year circumnavigated the globe in a solar taxi says four teams will follow in his tire tracks next week. Louis Palmer says the teams from Australia, Germany, South Korea and Switzerland will fire up their electric vehicles Aug. 16 in Geneva in an effort to race around the world in 80 days without producing any carbon emissi […]
- The Tale of a Smarter PlanetA butterfly flaps its wings in China and sometime later a thunderstorm occurs in Chicago? Not buying the butterfly effect? We've all heard it in some form, but IBMers are taking the concept and applying to the thousands of systems at work across the globe, showing us how interacted they are. When a natural disaster occurs on one part of the planet, it c […]
- Solar Vehicles: Innovative Transportation Designs Powered By The Sun (PHOTOS)From The Daily Green's Jim Motavalli: Everybody likes the idea of solar-powered vehicles, but it's easier to imagine as science fiction than it is to make real. But when an airplane recently took a 24-hour solar-powered flight - and landed safely - it got everyone fired up again. So here's a look at various forms of transportation driven by th […]
- Iceland Could Become Electric Car Capital Of The WorldIceland -- with renewable energy almost too cheap to meter and a small, tech-savvy population -- is the perfect candidate for electric cars. The challenge is to get the world to pay attention. Read more: Electric Cars Iceland, Iceland Renewable Energy, Iceland Electric Cars, Renewable Energy Iceland, Green Technology, Green News […]
- Wax And Soap May Be Key To Better Rechargeable BatteriesRechargeable batteries are not all that great yet. In fact, in a question posted to Pablo Paster in our "Ask Pablo" series, the inquiry wasn't which rechargeable batteries to use, but "Why do rechargeable batteries suck?" But researchers are working on ways to improve them so they last longer per charge and have more recharge cycles […]
- Thermographic Infrared Maps Used To Highlight Energy Consumption (VIDEO)Thermographic infrared maps are being used in Antwerp, Belgium to put the spotlight on buildings' energy consumption, Reuters reports. The birds-eye view offers residents the ability to compare their energy conservation with that of their neighbors, and often prompts those with poor findings to seek out home remodeling efforts that will better conserve […]
- Whiskey Biofuel Created By Scottish Scientists Can Be Used In Conventional CarsLONDON (AP) -- How about a whisky to go? Scientists said they have developed biofuel for cars from waste produced in distilling Scotch whisky. Researchers at Edinburgh Napier University produced a type of fuel called butanol using "pot ale" - the liquid residue from copper stills - and "draff," or leftover grain. They said it can be used […]
- Cameron Brooks: Water Management: The Path to a Better FutureLast year, I read a Wall Street Journal report that water managers in 36 states expect shortages by the year 2013. Why? The reasons are complex, but in a nutshell, the supply can't keep up with the demand. The world's population tripled in the 20th century, and according to the World Water Council, the use of renewable water resources has grown six […]
- Anna Bullus Recycles Chewing Gum Into Rubber That Could Replace PlasticDesigner Anna Bullus read the statistics of the gum problem in London -- that the government spends £150 million annually to clean up gum, over 30,000 pieces of which end up stuck to Oxford street alone each day -- and she decided there must be a better way to deal with the problem. So, she headed to the laboratory and came up with a way to transform chewed […]
- David Sandalow: Electric Cars Are 'Patriotic' Says Department Of Energy Assistant SecretaryWASHINGTON — David Sandalow starts his five-mile commute each day by unplugging an orange extension cord connecting his Toyota Prius hybrid to an outlet in his brick carport. His Prius, which was converted two years ago to allow him to recharge the battery from an electric outlet, gets more than 80 miles per gallon and lets him drive 30 miles on a single cha […]
