order from the City of Fairbanks to provide the Company's patented Nansulate® energy saving and asset protection coatings for five city buildings to increase energy efficiency and reduce fuel costs. The first building to be coated with Nansulate® is the Fairbanks City Hall and that application is already underway. The other buildings in the project include the Fire Department, Police Department, Department of Public Works and a fifth city building. Nanotech Energy Solutions, Inc. estimates the amount of the product for the entire project to be approximately 12,000 gallons.

The wind turbine is placed on an edge of an industrial building to exploit the energy that comes from strong updrafts - also called the speed-up effect. According to Jakob Andersen, the inventor of the new horizontal wind turbine and founder of EdgeFlow, the speed-up effect increases the wind speed by up to 70% in certain directions meaning an increase in energy of up to 400%.

Harvest Power, a developer of renewable energy and compost facilities for organics recycling, has said that its Fraser Richmond Soil & Fibre facility will receive up to $4m over two years from the Government of Canada to finance the construction of a biogas generation facility.

In this initial project, it will be important to demonstrate the possibility of manufacturing high-purity silicon from desert sand and constructing a high-temperature superconducting, long-distance, DC power supply system. The aim is to achieve a solar plant with annual capacity of at least 100 GW, which would truly help to solve the world's energy problem.

Flights will begin after official approval has been received from the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) allowing the use of jet fuel produced using Neste Oil's NExBTL technology. This is expected to take place in spring 2011.

The Solar Impulse is the brain child of Bertrand Piccard, a Swiss adventurer and environmentalist, who launched the project back in 2003 with the aim of promoting the use of renewable energy sources. Now, in 2009, he is closing in on that dream. His plane has a 200-foot wingspan which is lined with 12,000 photovoltaic solar cells that will draw energy from the sun to power its four engines.

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.

How well do solar space heaters work? Solar room heaters heat your home with free heat from the sun. Is the cost worth it and what about hail and storms?

do solar attic fans work? Solar powered roof mounted attic and gable fans reduce cooling costs during the summer by removing hot air from your attic.

ASUS has always been known for making some of the best gaming computers in the world. Now they can also be known for making some of the coolest: ASUS now has two notebooks that are built using bamboo - and selling for under $1,000. The ASUS U6V and U2E Bamboo Series Notebook computers use industrial-strength two-year-old Moso bamboo for virtually the entire casing of the product. "We spent the last couple of years perfecting and working with bamboo," said Jonney Shih, Chairmen of ASUSTeK Computer Incorporated. "It is trendy yet responsible." Pound-for-pound, bamboo also has a regeneration rate that is simply unmatched in nature. It has been known to grow two feet in just 24 hours and using less energy in to manufacture than those made out of metal alloys from refined petroleum.

As we continue to carry around items that insist on requiring electricity to work, portable-even wearable-energy-generating systems are looking very attractive. A group of researchers has recently looked into the use of piezoelectric materials, which generate an electric field or potential when placed under mechanical stress. By placing these materials on a rubbery or flexible surface, they created a material that can generate the highest rate of energy conversion reported for similar systems. While these are still far from the market, the metrics of the flexible piezoelectrics so far are very promising.
