Trees and forests are an incredibly important natural resource — not only for lumber and agricultural products, but also because they maintain a huge amount of biodiversity, stabilize their local ...

From community solar farms to co-owned wind turbines, eco-inventors are coming up with new ways to bring renewable power into our homes. Now, micro wind turbines designed to look like trees are ...

WindTrees presents a promising solution for the European Union's carbon neutrality goals. These are successfully installed globally, including locations in Europe, the United States, South Korea, ...

A research team led by scientists from India's Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering has developed a tree-type of PV-wind power system for off-grid applications. “A hybrid tree is a synthetic ...

Wind turbines keep getting bigger: One design is three times taller than the Statue of Liberty, with blades that are each as long as a football field. The massive size makes wind energy cheaper to ...

Until recently wind turbines have been relegated to land, with projects starting to emerge that harness the powerful offshore winds that come from the sea. The Department of Energy (DoE) is hoping to ...

New results from real-world tests of a downwind turbine could inform and improve the wind energy industry in a world with intensifying hurricanes and a greater demand for renewable energy. Wind ...

Wind turbines taller than most skyscrapers, with blades that bend like palm trees, could generate 50 megawatts (MW) of power, according to an analysis of a scaled-down prototype. This would be enough ...
