Comments on Shell Sky Scenario

In its new Sky scenario, Shell says that, between now and 2070, there will need to be a change in consumer mindset so that people choose low-carbon, high-efficiency energy options. A step-change in the efficiency of energy use is needed.

Shell forecast solar winning

Project the cost reduction of photovoltaics and wind and, for the largest of facilities including the most efficient, it is obvious that photovoltaics crosses wind to become lowest cost.

New design for electric powered paramotor

EXOMO is a collaboration between Aeronature, the first electric paramotor school, and Aero Composites Saintonge, the aeronautics specialist of electric propulsion and maker of the E-Fan demonstrator for the Airbus Group.

ENGIE and Fenix complete acquisition for affordable power to Africa

Global utility company ENGIE and off-grid energy leader Fenix International have closed their acquisition agreement. Fenix is the first Solar Home System company to join a major worldwide energy company and has already delivered clean, safe and affordable energy and financial services to over one million people.

Electric textile lights a lamp when stretched

Researchers have developed a fabric that converts kinetic energy into electric power. The greater the load applied to the textile and the wetter it becomes the more electricity it generates.

First new TX eCITY London taxi handed over to London cabbie

It's a landmark day for London and its thousands of taxi drivers and passengers as the very first all-new electric TX taxi from the London EV Company has been handed over.

Next-gen flexible robots move and heal like us

Soft robots contain tremendous potential for future applications as they adapt to dynamic environments and are well-suited to closely interact with humans. The soft devices can perform a variety of tasks, including grasping delicate objects, such as a raspberry and a raw egg, as well as lifting heavy objects.

Ultra-thin concrete roof with thin-film photovoltaics

A prototype for an ultra-thin, sinuous concrete roof using innovative design and fabrication methods. A second, exterior layer of the concrete sandwich structure encloses the roof, onto which thin-film photovoltaic cells are installed.

Solar cells can be healed with light

Researchers have shown that defects in the molecular structure of perovskites - a material which could revolutionise the solar cell industry - can be "healed" by exposing it to light and just the right amount of humidity.

Make Electricity Where You Need It

While grid load from electric vehicles is expected to rise in the near future. Engineers are already looking for solutions to make electric vehicles function independently of the grid.

Project connects brain science with electric cars

Technology developed to help neurosurgeons control electric currents during noninvasive brain stimulation could also lead to safer, more efficient batteries for electric cars and solar panels.
