Norway’s prime minister and crown prince were sweating like everyone else, zipped into their survival suits as they boarded helicopters to see the future.
Swedish start-up Minesto has been for years trying to float the idea of having underwater turbines that generate power for use on-shore. These would be anchored to the seafloor by a long tether and…
French company Airseas has developed the Seawing, a kite to help propel cargo ships, which it says could cut their carbon emissions by an average of 20%.
Michelin has developed a new kind of sail for cargo ships, one of a number of sail innovations that could help the industry to reduce carbon emissions.
If the energy production of all human being is combined, how does this compare to the global energy demand? How much electricity could be generated if every living human would wear a thermal energy harvesting bracelet? Can this power all our electrical appliances? In the movie The Matrix, intell ...
Besides sand, salt is another great alternative to lithium-ion batteries. And the best part, both materials are available in plenty, and can be harvested with minimal harm to the environment!
Wood batteries might be what we need in the world. The current batteries are unsustainable and use far more energy to produce than they can give. They also cause extensive damage to the environment through pollution.
Floating turbines have been around for a while, but new and more innovative designs keep coming up.
Floating turbines are perfect for offshore areas where winds are strongest.
How about these underwater kite turbines that can generate energy from tidal waves?

Some cargo ships do actually use sails to reduce fuel consumption!
Wind propulsion is the answer to the ever-worsening carbon emission crisis in the shipping industry.
Modern windmill ships are the future of the maritime industry; they can make sea travel greener and much cheaper.
It’s a cool idea, which has a lot of potential, like this nightclub that is converting revellers’ body heat into energy
Check out this e-textile-based t-shirt that converts your body heat into electricity. How cool!
Scientists are already coming up with some impressive ways to convert body heat into electrical energy.
The human body gives off a lot of heat. So, we could put a massive dent in the global energy crisis if we harvest all of it.

Besides sand, salt is another great alternative to lithium-ion batteries. And the best part, both materials are available in plenty, and can be harvested with minimal harm to the environment!
Sand batteries are the energy industry’s future, especially if paired with other green energies such as solar power.
Sand has the potential to be one of the most eco-friendly energy storage mediums.
How about this idea of plastic batteries? Perhaps this is what we need to start recycling plastic on a large scale!
Organic batteries made from wood! This is the future of clean energy!
Wood batteries might be what we need in the world. The current batteries are unsustainable and use far more energy to produce than they can give. They also cause extensive damage to the environment through pollution.
Wow! Check out these bio panels that can generate electricity using algae. This is the future of green energy!
Algae has so many benefits which reach far beyond renewable energy.
You can’t get any greener than algae when it comes to gree energy!
Here’s a perfect tent if you prefer to camp in luxury.
Here’s a solar-powered tent designed for homeless people. Could also come in handy when camping at festivals or in the wild.
Check out this futuristic solar-powered tent concept inspired by festival camping needs.
You can produce electricity from tap water using this micro hydroelectric turbine.
Here is a plug-and-play portable hydro generator that you can deploy anywhere in the world.
Check out this mini hydro turbine! Free electricity even with slow-moving water!
A simple but excellent idea that can transform a community, especially in rural areas.
