Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited (CFCL) and E.ON have extended an agreement to develop and deploy fuel cell micro combined heat and power (mCHP) units in the UK.
The mCHP units would be able to power a wide range of homes and enable the UK to reduce its carbon emissions, according to E.ON. A prototype unit installed…
An Abu Dhabi investment fund has stepped in to secure the future of London Array, the world's largest planned offshore wind farm.
The London Array project was rocked earlier this year when Shell pulled out, expressing concerns over the profitability of the scheme after projected costs rose to more than £2bn,
But the Abu Dhabi-based Masdar Initiative…
Oxfam has called for the UK government and leading businesses take the lead in fighting climate change by steering the UK towards a low-carbon future.
In a report, released this week, Oxfam said the UK must turn away from high polluting policies and projects that would jeopardise the UK’s carbon emissions targets and threaten the lives…
Energy company E.ON has signed a deal with Siemens Energy for 500 new wind turbines with a capacity of 1,150MW for new projects in the US and Europe.
The wind turbines are due to be delivered and installed in 2010 and 2011 and it is the largest single wind power deal Siemens has ever signed.

The seven dwarves must have a fairly large carbon footprint. For a start, they work in mining, which isn't exactly well known for environmental credentials and they're also a decidedly small business.
Apparently, insurer AXA reckons small businesses are absolutely chucking out carbon - some 110 tonnes every year it reckons.
And they're not daft about their…
Is it Greenbang, or does Shell also remind you of a cartoon baddie? How about the Hooded Claw? Remember him? He was the cloaked fiend who endlessly chased Penelope Pitstop. Greenbang could imagine Shell tiptoeing around, wearing a billowing cloak, a shiny top hat, twirling its moustache and occasionally pausing to emit bursts of eldritch…
Ever found yourself falling between two stools? No? Greenbang neither. It's a daft idiom all in all, but Greenbang is going to use it here and apply it liberally to E.ON, which seems to be waving the green flag with one hand and waving its nuclear power equivalent with the other.
The company said it's going…
Biomass power generators always remind Greenbang of Back to the Future II. Remember the Mr Fusion Home Energy Reactor that the Doc fits to the De Lorean while visiting 2015 that converts organic home waste into electrical power? What a crazy idea, eh? Well it's not such a crazy idea anymore, with E.ON's scientists just…
Good things, as we all know, come in threes. Earth, Wind and Fire, for example, or bacon, lettuce and tomato. The evidence is indisputable, and it's something that's clearly ringing a bell with the government, which has given its thumbs up to three new wind farms.
And, drum roll please, the windy trio is as follows:
