NSW Encouraging Energy-Efficient Lighting Upgrades for Small and Large Businesses As part of its long-term commitment to sustainable energy solutions, the NSW State Government encourages businesses and commercial enterprises across the state to upgrade older lighting to newer, more efficient LED lighting. To this end, it has implemented a series of rebates for eligible households and businesses through its Energy Saving Scheme (ESS). The NSW Small And Large Business Lighting Upgrades in particular encourage commercial energy consumers to install modern lighting technologies that conserve energy and reduce costs. | Japanese researchers successfully generate electricity directly from methylcyclohexane Japanese researchers, led by Professor Akihiko Fukunaga from the Department of Applied Chemistry at Waseda University in Tokyo, have successfully generated electricity directly from methylcyclohexane, an organic hydride, using solid oxide fuel cells, with lower energy than conventional catalytic dehydrogenation reactions. Methylcyclohexane is very promising as a hydrogen carrier that can safely and efficiently transport and store hydrogen. However, the dehydrogenation process using catalysts has issues due to its durability and large energy loss. | Biofuels Cologne Bonn Airport Switches to Neste MY Renewable Diesel in its Diesel-Powered Ground Fleet Cologne Bonn Airport has switched to Neste MY Renewable Diesel™ in its diesel-powered ground fleet. Neste's renewable diesel (also known as HVO100) is made from 100 percent renewable raw materials, and it is in particular used for powering large and heavy vehicles such as the airport’s fire trucks. In total, switching to Neste MY Renewable Diesel will allow the airport to save almost 3,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e) annually compared to the use of fossil diesel. | Electric/Hybrid India Saietta and HCLTech co-develop cost-effective Vehicle Control Unit for lightweight electric vehicles in Asia Electrogenic converts 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II to clean electric power MG confirms appearance of its two-seat Cyberster EV at IAA Mobility 2023 in Munich Energy saving Entergy Arkansas Helps Customers Beat the Heat and Save Energy This Summer Summertime brings warmer temperatures, which can translate into financial stress for customers on a tight budget. Over the last several months, Entergy Arkansas has been committed to supporting Arkansans during the high-energy usage months of summer. Its “Beat the Heat” fan drive focuses on helping low-income customers and communities stay cool in the summer. This annual program is vital to many residents, as it can provide relief from the summer heat and offer potential cost savings on their energy bill. | Hydrogen TFP Hydrogen Introduces Innovative Modular Production Unit TFP Hydrogen, part of the James Cropper Group and a pioneering leader in solutions for PEM Electrolysis, is proud to unveil its latest technological breakthrough – the TFP Hydrogen Modular Production Unit (MPU). This innovative solution represents a significant stride towards enabling rapid scalability for PEM electrolyzer manufacturing. | Germany Sunfire receives grant support for scaling up electrolyser technologies Australia Desert Springs Octopus announces new renewable energy agreement with Australian indigenous communities UK utility ramps up innovation investment on green hydrogen Hynion's Hydrogen Refueling Station in Västerås Approved PV Mountain Regional Water to Install Floating Solar Technology Mountain Regional Water Special Service District, a special service district of the state of Utah that serves drinking water to the Snyderville Basin area of Park City, Utah, has awarded Ameresco a contract to design and install a floating solar photovoltaic array site. This award precedes the district's selection for a grant for $400,000 from Rocky Mountain Power's Blue Sky program for the district's Signal Hill Water Treatment Plant. The array will be owned by the district and will be placed on the treatment plant's holding pond and provide electricity to power the water treatment plant. | Sweden First test for new solar-powered hybrid Scania truck Small Hydro Wind Support for Wind Energy Declining Among New Jersey Residents A majority of New Jerseyans continue to favor the development of offshore wind energy, but the current level of support is far below the widespread backing it has received in polls over the prior 15 years. The Monmouth University Poll finds that 4 in 10 residents think wind farms could hurt the state's summer tourism economy and just under half see a connection between the development and the recent spate of whales washing up on NJ beaches. | RWE Wins First-Ever Gulf of Mexico Offshore Wind Energy Auction Corio joins UN Global Compact sustainability initiative Agenda 2023 World Hydropower Congress Floating Wind 2023 |
