"On 10 March 2011, the Government announced the details of the Renewable Heat Incentive policy to revolutionise the way heat is generated and used in buildings and homes. This is the first financial support scheme for renewable heat of its kind in the world."

"China, the world leader in wind power by installed capacity, is facing a growing problem with grid connection as more than half of the electricity its wind farms generate goes unused."

"Abandoned mines can be used as geothermal energy source Scientists have reviewed the potential for worldwide development of geothermal energy systems in old, unused mines. The technology is proven in many sites and could therefore help increase the share of renewable energy sources in the energy mix, offering sustainability and job creation, which may make mining operations more appealing to investors, communities and policymakers.

"start up company Vu1 is adding another light bulb option (not to mention acronym) to the mix, the Electron Stimulated Luminescence (ESL) bulb. The Vu1 ESL innovation re-purposes technology from our tried and true friend, the cathode ray tube (CRT) television. ESL uses accelerated electrons to stimulate phosphor and create light, thus making the bulb surface glow."

"Jernhusen, a real estate company in Stockholm, has found a way to channel the body heat from the hoards of commuters passing through Stockholm's Central Station to warm another building that is just across the road."

"Wastewater contains thermal energy, and we can recover some of this energy. Only seldom is wastewater warm enough to permit direct water or building heating. However, we can recover wastewater heat with heat pumps."

"When added at a particular time in the growing cycle, baking soda more than doubled the amount of oil produced in half the time in three different types of algae."

"Our vision is of a UK where homes are energy efficient and local power generation from renewable sources is the norm. Our purpose is to make it easy for people to get the information they need to invest in renewable energy (or decide it is not right for their home)."

"The 2010 edition of the World Energy Outlook (WEO) was released on 9 November and it provides updated projections of energy demand, production, trade and investment, fuel by fuel and region by region to 2035. It includes, for the first time, a new scenario that anticipates future actions by governments to meet the commitments they have made to tackle climate change and growing energy insecurity@
