<div > This process uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen can be used to run cars, or can produce energy using fuel cells.<br/><br/>Hydrogen production from solar power might become a commercial reality now. A major increase in efficiency of this process is a new development. We may see a lot more of this type of energy production in the future. </div>

17% Growth of Solar Power in the US
March 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Main Content
The results are in: Solar power installations in 2008 are 17% up on 2007. All different types of solar power have been installed: solar hot water, solar electric and solar thermal.
However, the less expensive solar hot water has had the biggest growth in the residential market.
The leading states: Hawaii installed the most solar hot water heaters. Florida and California were the runners up. California installed the most solar electric panels with 17.8 megawatts installed.
Large solar power plants are also in the works. With 6 gigawatts currently under development, solar power production is certainly on the move. (8.78 gigawatts is the current solar capacity of the entire US.)

Kosovo’s First Solar Powered Project
March 20th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Main Content
Solar power is being introduced into Kosovo on a large scale for the first time. This pilot project could be the first of such installations in the Balkans.
Solar power has demonstrated that it can help to regenerate economies and countries. Hopefully this is true for Kosovo as it emerges from the shadow of its recent war.

Around the World on a Solar Powered Ship
March 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Main Content
This Swiss and German enterprise is planning to make the first solar powered trip around the world. The ship will run silently and cleanly on a large solar panel array.
The voyage is planned to do several things. Firstly, to show that it can be done. Secondly, the sailors want to raise the profile of solar energy in the shipping industry.
Many innovations are being tested here: large mobile solar power, composite technology and solar powered storage.
The trip is planned to take 120 days, and will attempt to track the sunniest path around the world. Currently the ship is meant to leave early 2010.

The 500,000 Euro Winner
March 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Main Content
Eben Bayer won the Picnic Green challenge with this innovative material. As an alternative to polystyrene insulation, it ticks all the boxes.
It takes very little energy to produce. It is an entirely organic structure. And it equals the performance of more conventional insulation.
The Picnic Green Challenge award is given to entrepreneurs who also display great talent in sustainability and inventiveness. Watch this space with interest…
