Watch: Oil Prices Are Rebounding
Recently released government data showed a less-than-expected bump in US crude stockpiles. A weak US dollar and strong economic growth had propped up oil markets, but today’s news has caused oil prices to rebound. American crude inventories came up short of expectations by about 1 million barrels last week, though gas inventories beat forecasts. As…
An “eBay” for Energy Companies Is Set To Launch in June
A U.K. consortium led by blockchain technology developer Electron is hoping to have an “energy eBay” up and running by June. Joanna Hubbard, COO of Electron, says that bilateral trading on the site will begin in a few months, and the project will become a shared marketplace for energy assets to respond to pricing signals….
Bitcoin to Double Iceland’s Energy Consumption This Year
According to Oilprice.com, Iceland has one of the least energy-conscious populations in the world. This fact might seem counterintuitive, given their extreme cold temperatures, but with that reality combined with their reliance on geothermal and hydroelectric power, it makes sense. These low energy prices make Iceland an attractive place to mine Bitcoins, and as a…
THE CUMMINS CARPORT PROJECT — A PARK@SOL SUCCESS STORY
Not all solar energy applications for businesses are created equal. Off-the-shelf solar energy panels simply don’t work for many sites because of custom requirements. Fortunately, there is an alternative. Park@Sol from Schletter is a carport system that provides solar energy while creating much-needed shade for parking or pedestrian areas. Let’s take a look at the…
Report: Smart Surfaces Can Save Billions and Make Cities Healthier
Clean energy firm Capital E recently released a report on the value of smart surfaces in combatting the effects of urban heat islands.

LED-Based Train Headlights are Massively More Efficient Than Previous Designs
Because they take so long to come to a complete stop, it’s essential for trains to have powerful headlights bright enough to warn vehicles and people in enough time to keep off the tracks. Until recently, halogen and incandescent bulbs have been standard, though they are extremely inefficient. The necessary brightness requires a large amount…
Watch: Solar Powered Water Treatment Can Be Used Anywhere Off The Grid
Researchers from the University of Alicante’s research group in applied electrochemistry and electrocatalysis have developed a standalone system for desalinating and treating water through electrodialysis. The system is directly powered by solar energy and can be applied in off-grid areas. The research group has a pilot and demonstration plant able to generate a cubic metre…
