Technology
Solar thermal technology heats up
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's annual "irradiance map" of the U.S. shows that America is the Saudi Arabia of sun power. It's a picture worth a thousand words to solar power activists looking to make a convincing case for the emerging energy source.
Front lines of Cleantech
The way we live is defined by the fuel we use. Today it's oil. Tomorrow it will be a combination of technologies: hydrogen, solar, wind, geothermal, ocean wave and current, and most likely nuclear. Investment and innovation in these areas are exploding, and the race is on to establish cost-effective and scalable solutions.
Yardsticks emerge for gauging energy efficiency
Everyone talks about energy efficiency, but how do you measure it? That question is becoming critical, as engineers look for new ways to reduce power consumption in a vast array of embedded and energy systems ranging from power plants to consumer devices.

Green Engineering: Engineering the future
Design-for-environment takes into account the environmental impact of a product from the time of its inception to the end of life and then back into the resource pool for future products, typically referred to cradle-to-cradle.
How to analyze and reduce power using Libero IDE
Meeting low power FPGA design specifications requires automatic power reduction capabilities coupled with sophisticated power analysis features.
Home electronics significantly impact electricity costs and carbon footprint
With chip vendors and electronic device manufacturers selling millions of devices, a small power savings could have a significant impact in terms of dollars and the environment. Calculate the costs with National Semiconductor's web-based CO2 and energy cost calculator.

Cleantech comes to the Persian Gulf
Oil producer Abu Dhabi is building an environmentally sustainable planned city near the international airport that will be powered by renewable energy including solar, wind, and perhaps geothermal power. It will house a special economic zone for companies to develop and manufacturing renewable energy solutions. The city will be the home of Masdar Institute of Science and Technology.

REACH and your supply chain: No data, no market
The rules of the environmental game have changed and the EU is setting the stage for significant changes in the chemicals used to make products. Like RoHS, the REACH list of SVHC chemicals will become the chemical black list and be incorporated into purchasing agreements.
