National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Investigating the extent to which renewable energy can meet electricity demands in the United States over the next several decades, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has come to some telling conclusions.
Research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) has demonstrated a completely counter-intuitive result for thin-film solar photovoltaic (PV) efficiencies, namely that the most efficient solar cells emit more photons than their competitors.
ECOtality Inc.(NASDAQ:ECTY), was trading up nearly 4% Friday afternoon, closing a week where the self-proclaimed leader in electric transportation and storage technologies made two big announcements.
Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR) released a statement updating the progress being made on its emissions plan for the Boardman Power Plant. The company implemented its 2020 plan last year to reduce the carbon emitted by its 630 MW coal-fired plant located in Boardman, Oregon. As part of the plan, PGE has agreed to cease using coal at Boardman entirely by 2020.
The United States Department of Energy has awarded six companies funding to support projects that seek to advance next-generation designs for wind turbine drive trains.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory, or NREL, one of more than a dozen national laboratories vested in renewable energy research under the auspices of the U.S.
Secretary Steven Chu noted that over 1,800 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations have been installed under the Recovery Act to date -- a statistic designed to address growing concerns over rising fuel costs and dependency on foreign oil.
In a test designed to prove that electric vehicles (EVs) are not only flexible but durable, even in intense cold, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has taken two to Antarctica, figuring that if they run there, they will run anywhere.
In an effort to support the budding electric vehicle (EV) market, the United States Department of Energy has announced the creation of a US$5 million fund to spur much needed EV infrastructure and charging stations.
On February 17, 2011 Xcel Energy, Inc. (NYSE: XEL), Colorado’s largest investor-owned utility, announced that it was suspending the solar energy incentive application process and cutting the associated rebate.
