Eco Factor: Small gas-powered electricity plants to move Germany away from nuclear power. Instead of developing the next-gen renewable energy power plants, German energy company Lichtblick has teamed up with Volkswagen on a massive project that...

Eco Factor: Hydrogen generating station uses landfill gas as raw material for a clean fuel. Hydrogen is undoubtedly the fuel the world needs for a green future. Auto makers have already rolled out demonstration vehicles that use hydrogen as a...

Eco Factor: Bus stop powered by energy generating slabs. Recently we saw a solar-powered bus stop that was designed to green San Francisco. The bus stop is expected to do well, provided there is an ample amount of sunshine during the day, which is.

Eco Factor: Tidal power project envisioned by DARPA to generate 200MW of renewable electricity. Both solar and wind energy generating systems suffer from a common drawback of energy availability throughout the day. Since wind and sun can’t be...

Eco Factor: Zero-emission cars powered by ZeroFuel. The emission problem doesn’t come with cars but with the fuel that is burned in their internal combustion engines. Most cars today are powered by fossil fuels, which when burned emit a mixture..

Eco Factor: Helmets equipped with wind turbines to power a two-wheeler's lights. A team of students at Cheng Shiu University have developed a new helmet that generates wind electricity to power two-wheeler's headlights, tail lights and...

Eco Factor: Integrating wind turbines in electrical transmission towers in France could rival the energy production of two nuclear reactors. The installation of wind turbines has always been criticized, as they disfigure the landscape. With the...

Eco Factor: New CCS technology could make coal-fired power plants green. Be it the latest advances in solar technology or fuel cells, until we get an efficient and easily available source of green energy the human race will get powered-up by the...

Eco Factor: Wind turbine design for places where windmills are not efficient. A conventional windmill proves to be efficient in open places and farms where there is no obstruction to slow down the velocity of wind. Such windmills don’t prove to..

Eco Factor: Portable fuel cells could soon become a reality in mobile electronics. Today’s world is an electronics driven world, which mostly is powered by batteries small in size and cost. These lithium based batteries are cheap but are not as..
