Exelon, an electric utility, has acquired John Deere Renewables (JDR), an operator and developer of wind power, adding 735MW of operating renewable energy to Exelon's generation portfolio, enough to power 160,000 to 220,000 households.

Nearly 100 MW of turbines are expected to come from General Electric, leaving the utility and energy developer looking for more suppliers to meet a scheduled late-2010 commercial launch.

Magnetically suspended wind turbines - frictionless, and no electricity needed to operate. could power a small city. Cool!

Fantastic innovation in non-electric washing!

Microbial Powered electrical generation

The MC WAP project has developed a molten carbon fuel cell which uses hydrogen obtained from a system that converts diesel oil into a hydrogen-rich gas, and air coming from the compressor of a microturbine. The reaction produces electricity and heat, without combustion.

For cell phone charging, the Emerald has USB and cell phone ports and will come with a bag of adapters. It can fully charge a smartphone in the same time it would take at an outlet, developers say. It recharges in full sunlight in three hours.

Solaroad is a road that also works as a solar panel. The combination of these two functions is special, and makes it possible within the space we still got to road use even solar energy to capture and converting it into electrical energy, which then can be used for street lighting, traffic systems, but also households.

The performance of vehicles with fuel cells is twice as high as those with combustion engines. So we reduce fuel consumption by a factor of 2. What's more, it's possible to significantly reduce CO2 emissions, or green gas emissions due to road traffic.

According to a new report from Pike Research , the number of e-motorcycles and e-scooters on the road will increase from 17 million in 2011 to 138 million by 2017.

Researchers in the US are using pioneering technology to create long-lasting, more efficient nuclear batteries. We talk to Patrick J Pinhero, Alan K Wertsching and Jae Wan Kwon of the University of Missouri about pushing the boundaries of betavoltaic electricity generation. The University of Missouri (MU) is pushing boundaries in betavoltaic electricity generation.

China has signalled plans to invest $16bn into its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, a move that could stimulate massive growth in EV sales and help the country cut carbon emissions. We take a look at the project and find out what impact an EV revolution could have on the power grid.

Green DIY Energy can be defined as energy that is created using the earth's most common energy sources and converting them to electricity. In most cases, the sources of energy present on the earth are the best to be used in our lives.

Know about Indo-German action in the energy sector by converting more solar energy from roofs into electricity.

With the UK going coal-free for a record-breaking 90 hours over the weekend, energy sources such as solar and onshore wind now play a key role in generating electricity. However, with the urgent need for new energy sources to replace the 60% of the electricity produced worldwide by fossil fuel combustion, it has become necessary to look further afield to alternative energy sources.
