The Government Services Administration (GSA), a department that purchases cars for federal bureaus to lease, recently announced that all the new cars bought in 2011 consume 21 percent less fuel than the vehicles that were replaced. On average, the MPG for the new fleet has jumped from 19.1 in 2010 to 23.4 this year. This step toward more enhanced environmental conservation on part of the GSA is mainly thanks to an…

Telecom giant, Cox Communications, is one of the first companies in Southern California to generate more than half of its energy needs with renewable power. Using an 800-kilowatt fuel cell, the company will reduce its environmental impact to the equivalent of taking more than 850 cars off the road annually — enough energy to power 603 average homes. Fuel cells are one of the few truly green sources of energy, as they are highly efficient…

Researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) are working on revolutionizing fuel cell technology by enabling portable electronics to operate using fuels like methane, for example. The research team is currently in development of solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which convert chemical energy from hydrogen or hydrocarbon fuels into an electric current. Up until recently, the cost of materials and high…

The petrol economy drove the next century, but human reality is demanding better options. Electric and hydrogen powered cars are looking like the working models for replacement of the much loathed petrol engine. Both types of car have very strong economic, as well as environmental, credentials. These are the technologies which are looking like they’ll transform the world, and everything about driving a car from panel beating to…
