Eco Factor: Detecting the molecular model of cement, researchers at MIT try to design greener concrete. The dream for sky-touching structures wouldn't have come true without cement. However, the quest for taller structures also means a rise in...

Eco Factor: Carbon credit meter tracks your daily emissions and encourages you to use public transport. Industrial designers have always been challenged to imagine how product design and technology can be utilized to address social issues and...

Eco Factor: Adding lime to oceans would reduce their acidity and enable them to soak up more CO2. While curbing emissions still remains the best possible way to stop global warming or at least reduce its impact, researchers all over the globe are..

Eco Factor: Real-time CO2 counter encourages people to curtail emissions. Deutsche Bank, a name not directly related to environmental conservation, has lit a seven-story LED sign that counts the amount of greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere.

Eco Factor: Zero-emission airplane powered by electric motors. Research indicates that aviation is the fastest growing source of CO2 and with more and more people opting for the fastest way to commute, the figures are bound to reach staggering...

Eco Factor: Power-efficient monitor lets users track their carbon emissions. NEC has announced its MultiSync E222W LCD monitor supporting an Eco Mode that helps generate less heat and reduces power consumption as well. To enhance its eco...

Eco Factor: Revolutionary fuel cell emits a constant supply of electricity. The skeletal floppy disk covered in tracing paper shown above is a step forward for a green tomorrow, as it has the potential to change our planet. Having already won...

Eco Factor: Wireless energy monitoring system beams data to NEC servers for evaluation. NEC is testing a newly developed technology to monitor energy usage, using the homes of 100 of its staff in Japan. Known as “Carbon Diet”, the program is...

Eco Factor: Forests in the sky to absorb harmful CO2 from the upper atmosphere. Reading the simple laws of physics will make you understand that hot air is lighter than cold air, and all the harmful CO2 released from factory chimneys doesn’t...

EcoFactor: Two giant structures built at the new Interstate-35W Bridge in Minnesota suck up automobile emissions and neutralize the harmful gases using their photocatalytic skin. It has been a year since the tragedy at the I-35W Bridge in Minnesota..
