Solar photovoltaic and wind power are already essential contributors to the power grid, but alternative renewable sources of electricity are also gaining a foothold.
Among the ever-increasing features of smart buildings, a new technology could prove to be one of the biggest advances yet: a high precision software to measure energy consumption.
Biomimicry, the term that describes technology inspired by Nature, was coined in the mid-twentieth century. Today, that approach makes it possible to create energy-saving solutions.
The wings of a black butterfly hold the key to double the efficiency of the current solar panels.
It has been struggling for decades to find commercial viability, but the latest advancements in nanotechnology could spell the beginning of a new era for blue energy, also known as osmotic power.
Renewable energies are increasingly gaining momentum, but so far they were being hampered by a lack of consistent supply, mainly those relying on solar and wind power. Initiatives such as ACCIONA’s new Hybrid Storage Plant in Navarre (Spain) or Tesla’s endeavor in Australia will bolster this new sustainable energy model.
Is it possible to obtain clean electricity from the sea? Tidal turbines are already a reality for the people in Nova Scotia (Canada) and Pentland Firth (UK).
These flexible solar panels are made of high-efficiency silicon, like standard panels, but feature a new shape that makes them revolutionary. Let us show you how.

Solar thermal energy, also called solar thermal power or thermoelectric energy, is a renewable energy that uses the heat of the sun to produce clean electricity on a large scale. Like photovoltaic energy, which uses light energy from the sun captured by solar cells, solar thermal technology uses the sun's heat to warm a fluid, produce steam, and generate electricity in a conventional thermal process. There are also several technologies used to produce thermal energy: parabolic trough and central tower, primarily.
