University students in Mexico have created solar-powered lamps from local, natural materials that are commonly thrown away.

The two-year project aims to develop a new commercial opportunity for indigenous farmers.

SINN Power is the first to offer a customisable energy solution using waves, small wind and solar photovoltaics.

The plant aims to transform thousands of kilograms of landfill garbage into hydrogen every day on a scale that no similar plant has done before.

10,000 controllers will be installed to bring the city of Brescia, Italy, up to 80 per cent direct energy savings.

The technology uses solar heat as an energy source, increasing the efficiency of the hybrid unit as the weather gets hotter.

The fossil fuel alternative works with gas-powered engines and has potential to replace other industrial chemicals.

Soil health improves, less herbicide is used and a denser crop is grown when farmers plant in the recommended grid pattern.

BiFarm’s plan is to provide agricultural freedom in environments that are traditionally hard to cultivate, such as dry deserts of the Middle East.

A new heater uses thermal radiation to heat objects directly, using around 30 per cent less energy than traditional systems.

The new approach presents an attractive alternative to lithium-ion batteries, as it will allow robots to recharge on-the-go by consuming parts of nearby metal surfaces.

A project is demonstrating ways that e-vehicles can be used for storing energy for microgrids when they are not in use.
