This autonomous, electrically powered device marks a breakthrough in making geothermal energy accessible to households.
Wind is a great ally in the generation of renewable energy. Wind farms already produce a significant share of global electricity capacity, but the help of wind in fighting climate change might not stop there.
The project developed by a Dutch engineering studio consists of a 7-storey, wind-powered “vacuum cleaner” capable of absorbing polluted air, renewing it inside the device, and releasing it back.
Could metal be the clean fuel of the future? Possibly, now that researchers from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and the European Space Agency (ESA) have reached an important milestone in the field.
Renewable energy is about to become a part of our daily lives, with a host of new power-generating surfaces such as windows or canopies
This village, capable of generating its own lighting and food production, will be ready to be inhabited as of 2017

Solar thermal energy, also called solar thermal power or thermoelectric energy, is a renewable energy that uses the heat of the sun to produce clean electricity on a large scale. Like photovoltaic energy, which uses light energy from the sun captured by solar cells, solar thermal technology uses the sun's heat to warm a fluid, produce steam, and generate electricity in a conventional thermal process. There are also several technologies used to produce thermal energy: parabolic trough and central tower, primarily.
