What is the Smart Grid and how will it impact U.S. energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions? What major projects are underway and how much will they cost? The B-Green Collaborative investigates and provides you the answers.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Geothermal Heat Pumps are “the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective space conditioning systems available”.

The sources of our power, the technology behind its generation and the costs we pay for using it are going to change dramatically. In this report, we discuss models of likely changes in our electric generation sources to achieve reduced emission goals.

There is a company in France called Motor Development International that believes the future automobile will not have an internal combustion engine, nor be powered by electric batteries. Rather, it will be powered by the energy stored in compressed air.

Achieving an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from our personal vehicles will require dramatic technology improvements and probably favor complete conversion to electric cars by 2040.

If greenhouse gases emissions are to be reduced to a fraction of current emissions, as is necessary to limit climate change, every possible action to generate power without fossil fuels and to use power more efficiently must be explored. Light emitting diodes, LEDs, are a new technology that could revolutionize lighting.
